I get a discount on my car insurance for not smoking, why not the same for health care? That might be a good incentive for people to lose weight and get healthier.

Fundamental principles all could agree on regardless of partisanship or politicizing for hidden agendas. That is the foundation where we, as a nation, must refocus. What are the governing truths we all could assent to agree about. Focus our energy into a constructive positive outcome based upon ethical principles we know to be true.

I wish you were closer for our doggie, Sherman. He takes Standard Process too.

However I do believe intervention of some sort is needed. Many people do not have a clue and lack the means to learn. Why are there soda pop machines in schools? Why are many preventable diseases more prevalent with the poor in our society? Why are Fruits Loops labeled as a good food choice? Why genetically engineered foods - Corn! Education and stronger labeling standards and an effective watchdog system would serve our country well. Our current watchdogs have proven to be ineffective and a waste of money and resources. The current H1N1 vaccine has been hyped by the media - linear-thinking physicians - and big pharmacuetical companies...I have found that more affluent, educated people are choosing to not receive the vaccines - the poor and uneducated and those folks who read People Magazine are lining up for the vaccine. I read a Fox News release that advised pet owners to vaccinate their dogs for canine influenza. Most people are not aware that the vaccine was released for limited use - not for the general population - but I am sure there are vets out there who will poke that vaccine into any dog whose owner requests it - and while they're at it - might as well shoot that poor pup up with a 7-in-1 booster.
