We hold key on Medicare prices

posted on Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:32:04 -0700

We hold key on Medicare prices. This is yet more proof of what I’ve been saying all along. The Republicans were given the chance to use our tax money to save American lives. Instead what they did was they took $162 billion of our tax money so that they could use this money to go over to the Middle East to kill Muslims and Jews. And steal the resources from the Middle East. So when given the chance to save American lives the Republicans basically said that Americans in this country

Lebanon County doctor charged in failure to report suspected child abuse - Midstate PA Local News, Weather, Sports & Entertainment - PennLive.com. Just more proof of how broken our medical system is and how deceitful and dishonest these doctors are. This is yet more proof that the medical system needs to be brought to court and put on trial for failure to live up to their Hippocratic oath and for failure to take care of the American people as they promised they would do. These

More Texas doctors opting out of Medicare | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle. This is more proof that these doctors no longer care about healing because they are now more concerned with money than they are with following their Hippocratic oath. If they actually cared about healing they would not be concerned with the cuts to Medicare because they would be much more concerned with following the Hippocratic oath would say swore their life to uphold.

Homework

Lots of times on people’s profiles there’s an exhaustive list of things they like/dislike. It’s actually an exercise that can be used therapeutically. Of course it doesn’t usually produce much at first because you can bet if you ask someone sitting at the rock bottom of their own personal darkness they will tell you that they like nothing.

Take a Deep Breath!… Something we don’t really think about each day is breathing.  Yes, just the simple function that our bodies do throughout our entire lives.  The only time we really think to do it is when we are lacking in air or “can’t catch our breath”.  It is something we take for granted will just simply work.  And by taking it for granted, we don’t utilize all of the health benefits breathing gives. You can calm your stress levels by simply learning how to breathe properly and more
