Yes, that’s certainly true.

I have been suffering the same bug except yesterday a fever developed.

A doctor friend who’s a public health expert told me I should immediately start taking Sambucol, a naturally derived extract from Elderberry’s that has been studied in Israel and elsewhere for it’s ability to minimize the impact of the flu.

I am taking the sublingual tablets with zinc because – well, that’s all I could find at the local drug store! In the past I have taken the liquid.

He was very clear that if things get worse to seek medical attention immediately because of H1N1 this year. But he told me today he even takes a maintenance dose.

Fortunately you can get this online or locally easily enough… just make sure you have a supply stocked up for you and your family incase it becomes wildy popular this year and you’re left without it.

Here’s my story: Because of working at a computer, long driving trips, etc, I’ve had my share of Back Pain. I’ve gotten benefits from chiropractic and massage but what my chiropractor has told me that once he adjusts my back, the muscles need to be strengthened to perform their correct function. This is where the Back Exercises of Back2Yourself come in to play. They help you take control of your back pain for yourself.

If you’ve had back problems, they have a free trial offer so you can start these Back Exercises for yourself and give them a “test drive”. What have you got to lose?

This employer is not exactly known for offering generous health benefits… most workers don’t seem to qualify given they have so many part time workers.

But this employer IS known for crushing their competition in every known way.

My guess is they’ll lobby for a plan like the one they have so they have no net tax impact (they think at least) but this type of legislation will likely destroy possible competition by adding an extra layer of overhead to any profit margin they might expect.

Call me cynical, but with Wal Mart already so big, why compete head to head when you can cut off competition from entering the race at all?

I believe that’s why Wal Mart is making their play now. To take the focus off what they don’t do and as an added benefit to eliminate potential competition.

Barrack Obama the other day in a town hall meeting was talking about how much he hated seeing video of  tax payers that have had enough with high taxes and errant spending waving tea bags at him. He said he would prefer to sit down and have a face to face discussion on how we are going to make health care affordable any time soon.

Well Obama here you go. TORT REFORM moron. Stop the frivolous lawsuits that drive malpractice insurance through the roof and the cost of health care declines rapidly. Insurance fairness act. A bill needs to be passed to mandate that all forms of Insurance be fair in billing.

Example:

Current system :

A insurance company insures a motorist or doctor and they get a claim against them. The insured pays the deductible and then within 30-60 days gets a review and depending on the amount and how long they have been insured either gets a higher rate or is dropped. More often then not they get dropped. The insurance company now passes on the added cost of the claim to all people they insure penalizing every account holder for the actions of the one. If a doctor in California gets sued for 5 million and loses , he is dropped and never pays a dime on the amount and the bill is passed on to doctors around the nation. Those doctors then raise fees and bam health care cost go up across the board.

My brother was in 3 accidents within a year, not one of them was his fault, no tickets, no charges, and no claims against him. His insurance company stated that he obviously was not a very defensive driver and he was being dropped by them. His next insurance company is charging him an extra $40 every 3 months for accidents that were the fault of 3 careless drivers. These are not fair practices.

In my case a major, biggest name in Insurance used a loophole in Texas Law to skip out on paying $8,000 in medical bills from a accident where one of their clients ran a red light and t-boned us. I have bad credit now for unpaid medical bills from it and have been black balled from management jobs after 16 years of being in management because my credit report calls me a high risk. First off medical bills I thought were medical records and should not be made public by TRW, and here’s the kicker. The loophole had to do with the doctor not noting on follow up visits that the original injury was sustained in the accident. My doctor stopped noting this on follow ups and treatments at the point I began negotiations with the insurance company. Hmm… Doc suddenly had money move to Africa to treat aids patients.

Under TORT reform the burden of proof would be switched to the claimants instead of the doctors, the judge would be empowered to overturn jury verdicts that had ignored legal bindings, and the maximum awards would keep cost in control. Face it even the wrongful death of a millionaire business owner is not cause for a 20 million dollar jury award and when they place a price on the head of someone like me earning less than 30K per year it’s just unfair to American’s everywhere. Especially since the doctor usually loses his license, and is dropped by the insurance company, and everyone else has to pay the flipping bill.

Do that and the the fair cost of insurance will be affordable to all Obama. you can make health care a personal responsibility and cut taxes so people can afford it. In no manner should we continue paying high taxes to throw more money at broken systems. If the system is broken fix the system, don’t waste my money hoping it fixes itself.

Here’s my tea bag, here at Proud Conservative American Bloggers United we hold tea parties 365 days a year, get use to the idea and stop whining about Americans exercising their rights to tell you you are wrong.
