|
| 11/7/2009 - Recently, USA Today has been running an interesting series of articles on our ridiculous health care system or, as reality would put it, our "disease care" system.

|
| 10/5/2009 - When it comes to affordable, effective health care reform in America, there's only one question that really needs to be asked right now: What works?
In other words, what works to keep people healthy? What's affordable, safe and supports the long-term health of the population? What's available right...
|
| 9/30/2009 - When people ask why I oppose Obama's health care reform proposals, I point out what a consumer (and employer) rip-off the current system of pharmaceutical medicine really is.

|
| 9/29/2009 - Today's article on health care reform has stirred up an unexpectedly vocal debate among NaturalNews readers about health care reform.

|
| 9/23/2009 - Much like Big Tobacco once did with nicotine, the soda industry and high-fructose corn syrup producers of America have maintained a ridiculous state of flat-out denial about the links between soda consumption and obesity.

|
| 9/2/2009 - For the last several years, I've referred to drug companies as "criminal" operations.

|
| 8/28/2009 - Health care reform is the hottest debate around, but unfortunately, Washington has it all wrong.

|
| 8/26/2009 - It's emblazoned across the front page of USA Today, just underneath a subhead declaring Michael Jackson was, indeed, killed by a drug overdose: "Flu could infect half of USA."

|
| 8/20/2009 - You can't fix one broken system by replacing it with another broken system.

And drank pop 'til his health came undone.
His kidneys turned blue
But he said, "I've got two."
"So I'll drink 'til I only lose one."
The debate over health care reform has run smack into a brick wall of economic reality. There's just not enough money to pay...
|
| 8/1/2009 - As all the pushing and shoving over universal health care coverage moves into high gear, one thing remains indisputable.
