      Obama’s Health Care Not Popular with Americans

      November 17, 2011 /

      More Americans want to repeal the new health care law than to keep it.

      Americans have weighed in and the Obama health care is not popular with the majority.

      A Gallup survey of more than 1,000 U.S. adults found that 47 percent favor the repeal of healthcare reform, versus 42 percent who want the law kept in place. Eleven percent had no opinion.

      But the survey also showed that 50 percent of Americans believe the federal government has a responsibility to make sure everyone has health coverage, compared with 46 percent who do not.

      The results, which have a 4 percentage point margin of error, suggest a sharply divided U.S. public as the Supreme Court prepares to begin hearing legal arguments next March from 26 states and an independent business group that want the law struck down as unconstitutional.

      Obesity Hurts Everyone

      August 29, 2011 /

      If you think that being overweight effects only the obese then think again.

      Obesity is fast replacing tobacco as the single most important preventable cause of chronic non-communicable diseases, and will add an extra 7.8 million cases of diabetes, 6.8 million cases of heart disease and stroke, and 539,000 cases of cancer in the United States by 2030.

      Some 32 percent of men and 35 percent of women are now obese in the United States, according to a research team led by Claire Wang at the Mailman School of Public Health in Columbia University in New York. They published their findings in a special series of four papers on obesity in The Lancet.

      Aging boomers need to listen to this!

      April 4, 2011 /

      Some baby boomers may be stubborn to admit a problem but the advances in hearing aid technology have come along way.

      When you think about it is not just vanity, auditory health should not be neglected.

      We have to consider above all, safety, and underlying health issues that may exist related to the hearing loss.

      “About 36 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss and, with 10,000 turning 65 each day, that number is expected to shoot up. Federal health officials estimate that 25% to 40% of people over 65 have some hearing loss, and a recent study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University reported 63% of those over 70 had mild to severe impairment”
