		<description><![CDATA[If you are having difficulty understanding health care reform, you are not alone. When Franklin D. Roosevelt was asked why he did not include health care reform in his New Deal Programs (1933-1936) to speed economic recovery during the Great Depression, he responded: “Because I can’t explain it.” Therefore, if FDR could not explain it, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I will not be surprised if we find out later that flu infections this year have more systemic consequences than in year’s past.
By “systemic consequences,” I mean that not only does the virus cause general aches and pains, fever and cough, but it can also cause pneumonia, meningitis, myocarditis and pericarditis. The H1N1 (swine) flu [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As this country starts moving towards health care reform in Washington, D.C., it is necessary to understand the health care issues being debated, the terminology used and formulate some kind of opinion. After all, whatever legislation is passed, it will affect every American one way or another. At the present time, health care is almost [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have been in the emergency room or hospital lately, you have probably received a bill that was much greater than you imagined it would be. If you have insurance contracted with the hospital or if you have Medicare, you will see an initial bill and then a bill that shows the discounted price. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I watch the debates about health care reform, and I can’t help but to wonder why someone hasn’t said anything sooner. Many issues are not new, yet people discuss them as though they’ve just happened, like the recession. Doctors have been experiencing a reducing amount of income for many years. Doctors lost the ability to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any budget, even your personal budget, has to do with the money that comes in minus money that goes out, ending in a net plus, break even or loss. The money coming in to a hospital cannot be decreased without threatening the closure of hospitals that take care of a lot of patients who have [...]]]></description>

I then asked her if she ever went to that same place when she was out of town, and she said she did. She, like many of us, have come to expect the same menu, prices and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do you take a health-care industry that has for years been the pride of the United States and cripple it? You set up unreachable goals making the cost to reach those goals also unreachable, then throw in a bunch of opportunists hoping to make money off of the process, and you get what you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know you are probably thinking that I want you to have insurance because physicians will benefit from this. However, we are going to discuss how you benefit more from having insurance in ways you may not have considered.
First of all, you need to find out what the maximum income level is to qualify for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I are members of AARP. I know, you think I’m not old enough for that, but they let you join at 50 years old and, yes, I turned 50 this year. Simply reading the newsletter they send out is an admission that I am getting older, so I turned to it reluctantly [...]]]></description>
