actually do for you? You probably hear about it all the time, whether on
television, in magazines, and assorted other media. Health insurance is an
extremely helpful part of life if you can set yourself up with a plan that will
benefit you and yours for minimal cost. It's meant to protect your financial
assets, as well as promote wellness and health. There are an assortment of
different perks and downfalls to each kind of <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">health insurance</a> plan, and it’s
important to know what will help you and what won’t.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The benefits of health insurance can
be summarized as the services you receive from your health insurance company.
Every company has an assortment of different plans that may or may not work for
you. Most companies are also willing to work with you to <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">determine</a> your needs.
You can have certain areas of your health insurance plans cover certain types
of injuries or illnesses more specifically, so that you pay less for recurring
things like office visits and medicine, or you can spread out your <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">coverage</a> as
a more general purpose plan.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Single person plans have a smaller
array of benefits and can be more tailored to the person they cover. A person
that needs more extensive eye care coverage might eliminate some other options
in order to afford a vision plan. These plans also cost less than <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">family plans</a>
simply because there is only one person to cover.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You can also have family plans that
will cover all the people in your family equally. These family plans are
usually cheaper than having multiple single-person plans, and also have higher
coverage rates that are shared among everyone in the family. Family plans can
be customized in the way single-person can, but usually not as specific as a
single person plan. So you need to consider, overall, if your family has a lot
of office visits or not.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The way health benefits work is you
get the bill, submit it to your insurance provider, (or have it automatically
submitted to the insurance provider) and they will pay a certain percentage, or
up to a certain amount that is dependent on plan. With most plans you will have
to pay a deductible before the insurance will do anything. Frequently you will
pay a co-pay at each office visit which is indicated up front. It is generally
higher for a visit to a specialist than to your primary care physician. After
that, the insurance will split the cost of the bill with you, typically with
the insurance company paying the majority.</span></div>

For Finding the Best Health Insurance Benefits</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Health insurance’s main goal is to
make it so that you don’t pay an extreme amount whenever you get sick or
injured. Health insurance can help pay for things like hospital bills and
regular doctor visits. Your health insurance plan really depends upon your
personal lifestyle. <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Comprehensive</a>, catastrophic, basic and supplemental plans
are all available.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The most important thing to do
before taking steps to find health insurance is to take into account your
personal needs. Past accidents or injuries may play a part in what kind of plan
you get. Your risk of injury on the job can also be a major factor into your
choice of benefits. Your family’s needs, should you have one, will also be an
important <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">consideration</a> for your health insurance.</span></div>

Do Health Insurance Benefits Cover?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There are three popular types of
health insurance: Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO), Point of Service
(POS) plans, and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO). An HMO is a monthly
premium plan that states you must go to specific providers of health care on a
list to have your insurance cover it. A POS is a plan where there is a network
of doctors; however, if one refers you to another doctor in or outside the
network, the insurance will cover it. You can refer yourself to care outside
the networks, but you’ll have to pay coinsurance. A PPO is similar to an HMO,
but like a POS plan you can go outside the list given to you, with much less
coverage. Granted, should you go to one on your list, you will retain your full
coverage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Your exact benefits will differ plan
to plan. Most insurance companies have tiers of coverage. The more coverage you
get, the higher your premium goes. As <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">mentioned</a> above, there are a multitude of
factors that can affect what plan you choose, because they will raise and lower
your premiums. There are other factors that can lower premiums as well, such as
having a long record of good health, no life-affecting diseases, broken bones,
or an array of other things. It’s important to ask your service provider about
these factors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Health insurance is <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">important</a> to
have, as it lowers the out of pocket amount you have to pay for health care. It
also ensures that you will be well taken care of when you are sick or injured.
You can use the tool above to see what companies have policies that interest
you, so you can get excellent coverage for as little as possible. Get started
comparing free health insurance quotes right now.</span></div>

medical world can be a confusing place. Patients and their families might <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">feeloverwhelmed </a>by the large vocabularies and complicated explanations they get
from their health care providers. Students entering health care also struggle
to grasp the complexity of health sciences, and are forced to memorize huge
amounts of information. We hope to make understanding the medical world a bit
easier. Look around! These videos do not provide medical advice and are for

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">With the
heart pumping 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it’s absolutely vital to make sure
things are flowing smoothly (pun intended!). Unfortunately, this isn’t always
the case, and different parts of the <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">circulatory</a> system can cause problems:
your heart, your blood vessels, and even the fluid in your tissues and blood
itself can be the issue. To further complicate things, the underlying reasons
for circulatory system problems vary from your genes (nature) to your lifestyle
habits (nurture). An understanding of how different diseases can affect your
circulatory system is <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">important</a> to combat this growing problem in the world. </span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Respiratory system</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Place
your hand on your ribs and inhale deeply. You’ll notice that your chest expands
and your back straightens. As this occurs, air is rushing through your windpipe
and branches off to either your left or right lung. After 20 to 30 more branch
points, oxygen in the air ends up in the alveoli where it diffuses into the
liquid that surrounds the alveoli, and slips into the blood. This <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">microscopicgas </a>exchange occurs rapidly, oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide
is removed from the body, and then you exhale. Learn more about the intricate
and fascinating respiratory system in these videos! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Our
lungs are composed of a bronchial tree (think of an upside down tree with
millions of leaves), blood vessels bringing blood in and out, and a
protein-rich fluid that forms a matrix holding everything together! If any part
of this well-balanced organ isn’t working properly, a person can be left
feeling short of breath. The lungs are also exposed to the outside environment,
making them prone to infections. To counter infections, the lungs are lined
with cells that have tiny protein bristles which wave back and forth and can
literally sweep away dangerous bacteria. Learn more about diseases of the lungs
and how <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">modern medicine</a> helps to keep them healthy! </span></div>

are billions and billions of neurons in your brain (about 85 billion), and
they’re all sending electrical signals throughout your body right now! They
tell your eyes to move across this page, how to interpret the words that you
read, how to maintain your posture, your heart rate, and your breathing...all
of it in a fraction of a second. In this section, we’ll explore the nature of
this vast, <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">complex system</a>, from the cellular level to how it operates at a
sensory level. A common misconception is that we only have 5 senses (see,
smell, taste, hear, and feel), but we have many more that are nuanced but

between 30 seconds to a minute for your blood to travel from your heart, to
your body, and back to the heart again - perhaps a bit longer if the trip is
out to your big toe! Our blood is incredibly important for transporting oxygen
throughout the body. Hemoglobin, the protein that fills our blood cells, has
wonderful mechanisms to allow it to bind to both oxygen and carbon dioxide.
This is important for effective and quick transport of the gases around our
body. Our blood is about 45% cells and 55% plasma, so the old adage “blood is
thicker than water” quite literally holds true in scientific terms! Learn more

muscles and bones keep us moving and form the basic physical structure for the
rest of our organ systems. They also act as a sort of protective armor against
physical damage. Muscles are connected to bones, and bones are connected (via
ligaments) to other bones. In these videos, we’ll go into how and why we have
conscious control of our muscles, how our bones fit in with this control, how
each of these components are connected, and much more. A fun fact: The largest
muscle in your body is your gluteus maximus (your buttock!), and the bone most
often broken is the collar bone! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When
you’re nervous before an important speech, or asking someone out on a date, you
might feel butterflies in your stomach. This is actually the result of your
endocrine system releasing hormones! You can’t really point to any single organ
as “the endocrine system”, because it’s actually a family of glands that
secrete hormones into the body. Hormones seep into the blood (imagine putting a
tea bag into hot water), and as the blood flows around the body, it carries
with it these important hormone molecules that interact with specific target
cells and organs. This signaling system helps to keep the entire body
well-balanced and on the same page. </span></div>

<h2>
The life-changing benefits of exercise</h2>
Exercise is not just about aerobic capacity and muscle
size. Sure, exercise can improve your <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">health</a> and your physique, trim
your waistline, improve your sex life, and even add years to your life.
But that’s not what motivates most people to stay active. People who
exercise regularly tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense
of well–being. They feel more <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">energetic</a> throughout the day, sleep
better at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and
positive about themselves and their lives. And it doesn’t take hours of
pumping weights in a gym or running mile after mile to achieve those
results.<br />
<br />

By focusing on activities you enjoy and tailoring a
regular mild to moderate exercise routine to your needs, you can
experience the <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">health benefits </a>of exercise and improve your own life by:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Easing stress and anxiety.</strong> A
twenty-minute bike ride won’t sweep away all of life’s troubles, but
exercising regularly helps you take charge of anxiety and reduce
stress. Aerobic exercise releases hormones that relieve stress and
promote a sense of well-being. </li>
<li><strong>Lifting your mood.</strong> Exercise can
treat mild to moderate depression as effectively as antidepressant
medication. Exercise also releases endorphins, powerful chemicals in
your brain that energize your spirits and make you feel good. </li>
<li><strong>Sharpening brainpower.</strong> The same
endorphins that make you feel better also help you concentrate and feel
mentally sharp for tasks at hand. Exercise also stimulates the growth
of new brain cells and helps prevent age-related decline. </li>
<li><strong>Improving self-esteem.</strong> Regular
activity is an investment in your mind, body, and soul. When it becomes
habit, it can foster your sense of self-worth and make you feel strong
and powerful. </li>
<li><strong>Boosting energy.</strong> Increasing your
heart rate several times a week will give you more get-up-and-go. Start
off with just a few minutes of exercise a day, and <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">increase</a> your
workout as you feel more energized. </li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">School age is the perfect time for
children to learn about healthy food, bodies and activity. This is the time
they start a busy social life, have pocket money and begin to help choose their
own lifestyle. Children of this age learn quickly and are also influenced by
their friends and popular trends. <br />
<br />
Children need a wide variety of foods for a well-balanced diet. The amount of
physical activity they have in a day will be an important part of how much they
need to eat. When children are busy and active, snacking is important to keep
energy levels high. A healthy morning snack at recess and one after school are
usually needed each day.</span></div>

It is important to encourage breakfast. A good night’s sleep followed by food
in the morning helps your child to stay active and concentrate at school. It
also means your child is less likely to be too hungry during the morning and it
can help with performance at school. Be a role model and let your child see you
eat breakfast too. A bowl of <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">cereal with milk</a> and fresh or stewed fruit is a
great starter for the whole family.</span></div>

Many schools have a canteen that offers a range of food choices. Most schools
follow government guidelines to encourage healthy food choices. The food your
child chooses might be high in cost and energy, but low in nutrients sometimes.
An alternative is a packed lunch from home, which is a great way for your <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">childto learn</a> about healthy food and to help with preparation. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">People often think of healthy eating
as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any healthy diet is
moderation. But what is moderation? How much is a moderate amount? That really
depends on you and your overall eating habits. The goal of <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">healthy eating</a> is to
develop a diet that you can maintain for life, not just a few weeks or months,
or until you've hit your ideal weight. So try to think of moderation in terms
of balance. Despite what certain fad diets would have you believe, we all need
a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to
sustain a healthy body. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For most of us, moderation or
balance means eating less than we do now. More specifically, it means eating
far less of the unhealthy stuff (refined sugar, saturated fat, for example) and
more of the healthy (such as fresh fruit and vegetables). But it doesn't mean
eliminating the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for
example, could be considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch
and dinner—but not if you follow it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza.
If you eat 100 calories of chocolate one afternoon, balance it out by deducting

the food on your plate—it is also about how you <i>think</i> about food.
Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think
about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between
meetings or on the way to pick up the kids.</span></div>

essential for maintaining cells, tissues, and organs. A lack of protein in our
diet can slow growth, reduce muscle mass, lower immunity, and weaken the heart

daily calcium needs from food as possible and use only low-dose calcium

may not even be aware of the amount of sugar you’re consuming each day. Large
amounts of added sugar can be hidden in foods such as bread, canned soups and

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Eight
hours in a chair in front of a computer, five days a week can take a toll on
your body. From avoiding eye strain and tension neck syndrome to passing on
those extra calories that co-workers leave invitingly on their desks, experts
give WebMD 10 tips that will help you stay healthy and in shape at work.</span></div>

By Jenny Allen The domestic diva opens up about the pain in
her past, the love in her life, and how she bounced back big time. Martha
Stewart takes a forkful of lemon pie and savors it. "Isn't this
good?" she asks in that trademark low, plummy voice. We're lunching in her
office at the Manhattan TV studio where she's just finished hosting a live
broadcast of The Martha Stewart Show, her Emmy award-winning daily program. She
sits at one end of the sleek rectangular table that...</div>

Clean article </div>

"If it's out of sight, it's out of mind, so if you know
someone has a candy dish on their desk, walk around his or her desk so you
don't feel the temptation," says Dawn Jackson, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman
for the American Dietetic Association. "Take a break, get a breath of
fresh air, and skip the candy. Or, if you are hungry, have fruit at your desk,
like cherries or grapes."</div>
<div class="node">
Three out of five Americans are overweight, explains Jackson,
which means there is likely more than one person in your office who is dieting.</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
"In most offices, people are trying to lose weight, so go in
with people and get fruit bowls instead of candy bowls," says Jackson.
"And see if you can get people to replace their candy bowls with something
healthier."</div>
<div class="node">
2. Drinking an adequate amount of water -- eight to 10 glasses every day -- can
help keep you hydrated. Many foods are also good sources of water; fruits like
oranges, grapefruit, grapes, watermelon, and apples can help keep you healthy
and hydrated.</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
"The 3 o'clock lull that many people feel at work can be due
to dehydration, so drink lots of water," Jackson tells WebMD. "Set
goals: Bring a 16 ounce bottle of water to work and try to finish it by lunch,
and then fill it up again and finish that by 3 p.m. By 5 p.m., finish a third
bottle."</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
Another tip from Jackson: Set your computer alarm to go off so
you remember it's time to refill.</div>
<div class="node">
3. One of the most important things you can do during the day to
stay healthy and in shape is to exercise.</div>
<div class="node">
"Walking during lunch is a great idea," says Jackson.
"Not only are you burning calories, but you're de-stressing and
refreshing."</div>
<div class="node">
4. Eating a healthy lunch is an important part of a balanced
diet. But eating reasonable portions is an important part of your health.</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
"Eat a healthy
lunch at work, but also practice portion control so you aren't consuming too
many calories and then sitting in a chair all afternoon," says Jackson.
"Many times, it's not that you are eating unhealthy food, it's just that
you are eating too much."</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
For instance, Jackson explains that pizza isn't inherently bad,
it's just that a person will eat three or four slices too many, and that's
where the problem lies. Instead, share a large slice of piece of pizza with a
co-worker, and then eat a salad that's packed with veggies.</div>
<div class="node">
5. Tension neck syndrome (TNS) can occur when the neck and upper
shoulders are held in a fixed, awkward position for long periods of time,
according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. It can
happen to people in the workplace who talk on the phone for a most of the day
or type a lot.</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
"You want to make sure your neck isn't bent to the side for
long periods of time, " says Alan Hedge, professor of ergonomics at
Cornell University. "Tension neck syndrome can cause neck and shoulder
pain, muscle tightness, and tenderness. So use a speakerphone, a shoulder
cradle, or use a headset at work when you're on the phone."</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
6. Eyestrain is another problem that can be encountered in front of a computer.
It can cause headaches, difficulty focusing, and increased sensitivity to
light, according to the University of California at Davis.</div>
<div class="node">
To prevent eyestrain, Hedge tells WebMD, "The distance to
the screen from your eyes should be about an arms length away. You should also
be able to comfortably read what's on your screen at that distance, without
having to squint."</div>
<div class="node">
If you can't read your screen from an arm's length away, simply
increase the font size on your computer.</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
7. A healthy tip that all of us want to hear is that vacations
are an important part of staying healthy at work.</div>
<div class="node">
"It's very beneficial to get away for a long vacation that
will help you recharge your 'batteries,'" says Jonathan Kramer, a clinical
psychologist and president of Business Psychology Consulting. "Vacations
help <a href="http://www.webmd.com/balance/stress-management/stress-management-relieving-stress"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">reduce stress</span></a>
and get your mind off work, especially if you're having a conflict, such as a
problem with your boss, a co-worker, or a project."</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
Stress can impair your immune system, increasing the risk of
illness, explains Kramer, so minimizing it is essential -- and fortunately,
vacations are just the way to do that.</div>
<div class="node">
8. Another way to stay healthy at work is to avoid long stretches
of long days.</div>
<div class="node">
"Occasionally, people focus on the task at hand and getting
a project done, and they aren't aware of the impact it's having on their
health," says Kramer. "They may not be aware of it until the stress is
at a really high level, and it's affecting their relationships and their
moods."</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
This, explains Kramer, is another type of stress, commonly
referred to as burnout. Burnout can also impair a person's immune system, as
well as interfere with sleep and his or her ability to concentrate.</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
9. Your keyboard,
mouse, and phone can harbor thousands of germs that are just waiting to make
you sick. So get out the disinfectant.</div>
<div class="node">
According to <i>Science Daily,</i> researchers at the 100th
General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology reported, "We
know that viruses can survive (remain infectious) for hours to days on a hard
surface ... if a virus such as the rotavirus (a diarrheal virus) were on the
surface of a telephone receiver, infectious doses could easily be transferred
to persons using the telephone."</div>
<div class="node">
To clean these objects, the National Consumers League recommends
using a disinfectant cleaner or spray that is registered with the Environmental
Protection Agency and proven effective against a wide variety of viruses.</div>
<div class="node">
<br /></div>
<div class="node">
10. What's the most important thing you can do to stay healthy at work? Kramer
sums it up for WebMD.</div>
<div class="node">
"The most important way to stay healthy at work starts with
self-awareness," says Kramer. "Know yourself and know your limits and
do the best you can to stay within those limits given your job. Know when to
take breaks and know when to take a vacation. And get plenty of exercise, which
helps you both physically and mentally, both at work and at home."</div>

<h1>
<span style="font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Privitization
crisis will lead to loss of health care</span></h1>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On May 10, the Center for <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Medicaid</a> Services
unequivocally rejected the Jindal administration’s hastily crafted financing
plan for the privatization of numerous Louisiana hospitals. As a result, and as
confirmed directly by me in a phone call with CMS, Louisiana’s citizens will
lose up to $500 million in federal health care funding. Further, due to the
Jindal administration’s irresponsible insistence on including nonexistent
revenue to balance its budgets, the state is faced with budget deficits in
upcoming years exceeding $2 billion. Most importantly, the poorest and most
vulnerable of Louisiana’s citizens remain without meaningful access to health
care.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rGG1xTu6Q1Q/U3g9ThlVmeI/AAAAAAAAAWo/JbuORAqw9Ww/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rGG1xTu6Q1Q/U3g9ThlVmeI/AAAAAAAAAWo/JbuORAqw9Ww/s1600/8.jpg" height="205" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In typical fashion, when taking credit for the
“surging Louisiana economy,” Gov. Jindal neglected to mention that last week
Louisiana was named the worst state for working mothers. He also did not write
about our state’s unconscionably high gender pay gap or our second place
poverty rate ranking in the United States. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Considering</a> the enormity of CMS’s rejection and
the implications on both the state budget and citizens’ access to health care,
one would expect Gov. Jindal to directly address the issue at his first
available opportunity. Instead, Gov. Jindal, Louisiana’s “op-editor-in-chief,”
authored another fluff presidential aspiration piece for Forbes.com.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In response to this health care setback in
Louisiana, I challenge Gov. Jindal to work with the Louisiana Legislature to
enact reform that will meaningfully improve our citizens’ access to health
care. I challenge him to help the Legislature enact policies that will result
in increased, as opposed to decreased, federal health care funding. I challenge
him to mirror Republican governors from across the country who have accepted
Medicaid expansion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the Jindal administration finally decided to
address the CMS decision, it described the decision as unprecedented. Indeed, I
doubt CMS has ever reviewed such a poorly conceived, outlandish <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">financing plan</a>.
However, Governor Jindal’s feigned surprise at the CMS decision is
disingenuous. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do not anticipate an answer to these
challenges. Instead, I expect another op-ed. At some point, I imagine Gov.
Jindal’s hand will get sore from patting himself on the back. I know our
citizens’ backs are sore from carrying his fledgling presidential ambitions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two years ago, the head of the LSU <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Health Care</a>
System, Dr. Fred Cerise, warned the Jindal administration about potential
pitfalls in its hospital privatization plan. Shortly after issuing his
warnings, Dr. Cerise lost his job and Governor Jindal and the LSU Board of
Supervisors approved privatization contracts riddled with blank pages and
missing financial terms. For a governor who touts his “business acumen,”
approving contracts missing key provisions is a head scratcher.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the failure of the hospital
privatization plan is not surprising. Rather, it’s typical in Bobby Jindal’s
Louisiana. In hopes of enlarging his national profile, Gov. Jindal continually
insists on rolling out unworkable, unsustainable, and unmanageable policies
that are bad for Louisiana and its citizens. Even institutions as old and
important as the Louisiana Charity Hospital System are not immune.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a point of reference, Louisiana’s Charity
Hospital System endured the Great Depression, world wars, and multiple
devastating hurricanes. It could not, however, survive Gov. Jindal’s “surging
Louisiana economy.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
John Bel Edwards is the Louisiana state
representative from District 72 and is a Democratic candidate for governor.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Starchy foods should make up around
one third of the foods you eat. Starchy foods include potatoes, cereals, pasta,
rice and bread. Choose wholegrain varieties (or eat potatoes with their
skins on) when you can: they contain more fibre, and can make you feel full for
longer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Most of us should eat more starchy
foods: try to include at least one starchy food with each main meal. Some
people think starchy foods are fattening, but gram for gram they contain fewer
than half the calories of fat. Learn more in Starchy foods. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It’s recommended that we eat at
least five portions of different types of fruit and veg a day. It’s easier than
it sounds. A glass of 100% unsweetened fruit juice can count as one portion,
and vegetables cooked into dishes also count. Why not chop a banana over your
breakfast cereal, or swap your usual mid-morning snack for some dried fruit?

more fish:</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fish is a good source of protein and
contains many vitamins and minerals. Aim to eat at least two portions a week,
including at least one portion of oily fish. Oily fish is high in omega-3 fats,
which may help to prevent heart disease. You can choose from fresh,
frozen and canned: but remember that canned and smoked fish can be high in
salt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oily fish include salmon, mackerel,
trout, herring, fresh tuna, sardines and pilchards. Non-oily fish include
haddock, plaice, coley, cod, tinned tuna, skate and hake. Anyone who regularly
eats a lot of fish should try to choose as wide a variety as possible. </span></div>

down on saturated fat and sugar:</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We all need some fat in our diet.
But it’s important to pay attention to the amount and type of fat we’re eating.
There are two main types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Too much saturated
fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases your
risk of developing heart disease.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Saturated fat is found in many
foods, such as hard cheese, cakes, biscuits, sausages, cream, butter, lard
and pies. Try to cut down, and choose foods that contain unsaturated rather
than saturated fats, such as vegetable oils, oily fish and avocados.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For a healthier choice, use a just a
small amount of vegetable oil or reduced-fat spread instead of butter, lard or
ghee. When you're having meat, choose lean cuts and cut off any visible
fat. Learn more, and get tips on cutting down, in Eat less saturated
fat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Most people in the UK eat and drink
too much sugar. Sugary foods and drinks, including alcoholic
drinks, are often high in energy (measured in kilojoules
or calories), and could contribute to weight gain. They can also
cause tooth decay, especially if eaten between meals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cut down on sugary fizzy drinks,
alcoholic drinks, cakes, biscuits and pastries, which contain added
sugars: this is the kind of sugar we should be cutting down on rather than

food, you may still be eating too much. About three-quarters of the salt we eat
is already in the food we buy, such as breakfast cereals, soups, breads and
sauces. Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. People with high
blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.</span></div>

plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy weight, which is an important
part of overall good health. Being overweight or obese can lead to health
conditions such as type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, heart disease and stroke.
Being underweight could also affect your health. Check whether you’re a healthy
weight by using our <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Healthy</a> weight calculator.</span></div>

need to eat fewer calories in order to do this. If you're trying to lose
weight, aim to eat less and be more active. Eating a healthy, balanced
diet will help: aim to cut down on foods that are high in fat and sugar, and
eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.</span></div>

high in calories, so cutting down can help you to control your weight. You can
find information and advice in Lose weight. If you’re underweight, see Underweight
adults. If you're worried about your weight, ask your GP or a dietitian for
advice.</span></div>

maintain weight loss or be a <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">healthy weight</a>. Being active doesn’t have to
mean hours at the gym: you can find ways to fit more activity into your daily
life. For example, try getting off the bus one stop early on the way home from
work, and walking. Being physically active may help reduce the risk of heart
disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. For more ideas, see Get active your way.</span></div>

fluid every day to stop us getting dehydrated. This is in addition to the
fluid we get from the food we eat. All non-alcoholic drinks count, but
water, milk and fruit juices are the most healthy. Try to avoid sugary
soft and fizzy drinks that are high in added sugars and can be high in calories
and bad for teeth. When the weather is warm, or when we get active, we may need
more. Learn more in Drinks. </span></div>

they think it will help them lose weight. In fact, research shows that eating
breakfast can help people control their weight. A healthy breakfast is an important
part of a balanced diet, and provides some of the vitamins and minerals we need
for <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">good health</a>. Wholemeal cereal, with fruit sliced over the top is a tasty
and nutritious breakfast. </span></div>

Living and Dying Well hosted their second annual Get It Done Today! event on
April 16th, in conjunction with National Healthcare Decisions Day, at the Santa
Barbara Public Library. The goal of this FREE community-wide event was to help
the public complete their Advance Health Care Directives. The Alliance
recognized an increase in percentage of completed Advance <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Health Care</a>
Directives, which is a critical part of their mission to seek a seamless,
compassionate continuum of end-of-life care. Mayor Helene Schneider attended
the event and presented an official proclamation to the Alliance recognizing
National Healthcare Decisions Day, and the importance of the organization’s
work in the Santa Barbara community.</span><br />

at this year’s Get It Done Today! event, and to see so many community members
taking the initiative to put their end-of-life wishes down on paper,” ,” said
Susan Plummer, Executive Director of the Alliance for Living and Dying Well.
“Completing an Advance Health Care Directive through facilitated conversations with
loved ones and your health care agent is integral to ensuring that your
healthcare preferences and values are known and honored when you cannot speak
for yourself.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">An exciting new development this
year is that Alliance partner, Cottage Health System, is now providing free
electronic scanning of AHCDs, which immediately enters the documents into the
hospital’s electronic records system where they remain on file and easily
accessible to medical and <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">healthcare</a> providers when needed. Community members
just need t bring in a copy of their completed AHCD to any hospitality desk at
one of the Cottage <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Health</a> System hospital locations, and it will be scanned
into the hospital’s electronic medical records system. This important service
provided by Cottage <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Health System</a> supports the Alliance’s mission of ensuring
AHCDs are available and accessible when they are most critically needed.</span></div>

<div class="story-body-text">
In Virginia, there are 400,000 low-income people who
can’t afford <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">health</a> coverage but don’t qualify for federal insurance subsidies.
If they lived across the state line in Maryland, West Virginia or Kentucky,
which have expanded their Medicaid programs, they could get the coverage they need.
Terry McAuliffe, the Virginia governor, campaigned on bringing an expanded
Medicaid program to Virginia, too.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-count="545" data-total-count="951" itemprop="articleBody">
But it hasn’t happened, and the reason is a group of
recalcitrant Republicans in the House of Delegates who have blocked <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Medicaid</a>
expansion at every opportunity. They are so determined to keep poor people from
getting health care that they are preventing passage of a two-year budget for
the state for the fiscal year beginning July 1. If an agreement isn’t reached
by then, they seem fully prepared to let the state government shut down,
furloughing employees and shuttering services just as their counterparts in
Washington did last fall.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-count="399" data-total-count="1350" itemprop="articleBody">
Virginia is at least debating the issue. Nineteen
Republican-dominated states, mostly in the South and Midwest, have flatly said
no. To accept expanded <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Medicaid</a> in their view is to accept the Affordable Care
Act and let the public witness its benefits. They cannot allow that to happen.
One Virginia Republican said his colleagues were openly hoping to limit the
number of people covered by the law.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-count="259" data-total-count="1609" itemprop="articleBody">
“They are trying to exhibit their disdain for the
Affordable Care Act,” State Senator John Watkins, a supporter of expansion, told
The Washington Post. “They feel if enough people refuse to use it, somehow it’s
going to go away, that it will fail.”</div>

There are obvious benefits to expanded Medicaid, which the
Republicans have chosen to ignore. For three years, the federal government
would pay 100 percent of Virginia’s expansion — a multibillion-dollar infusion
— as opposed to the current 50-50 split in Virginia and most states. After
that, the federal share would be reduced gradually to 90 percent by 2020.
Though states will incur some additional costs after 2016, they will pay far
less to hospitals for uninsured coverage, and will benefit economically from
the improved health of their citizens.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-count="504" data-total-count="2673" itemprop="articleBody">
These arguments are so compelling that Republicans have
been reduced to a familiar dead-end explanation for their refusal: namely, that
the federal government can’t be trusted to pay the 90 percent share promised by
the <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">health</a> care law. This same tactic has been adopted by anti-expansion
Republicans in other states, as well as by politicians who won’t agree to
<a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">immigration</a> reform. If the facts aren’t on your side, then your best bet is to exploit
the party’s widespread mistrust of government.</div>
<div class="story-body-text" data-para-count="304" data-total-count="2977" itemprop="articleBody">
Hoping to avoid a government shutdown, Governor McAuliffe
is now exploring whether he can expand Medicaid without the legislature’s
approval. That raises complicated legal and constitutional questions, but his
impulse — in the face of coldhearted political opposition — is perfectly
understandable.</div>

Strong <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">health</a> is depend on good physical condition. There are several
possible culture of this expression, one of which holds that a
properly looks fit and sounds so impressive that it is a
compliment for a person to be compared to it. Two other possibilities
claim that the original <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">expression</a> was <i>fit as a fiddler</i> in which <i>fiddler</i>
was a nickname applied either to a boxer with fancy footwork or to the
person who played the fiddle at lively Irish dances, most of which
lasted from dusk to dawn without any breaks. In both cases, the fiddler
would have to be <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">physically</a> fit and have great stamina to last
throughout the event. For feel strong health we need follow some health rules. We should eat a balanced diet, take fresh food and physical exercise regularly.Similar expressions are <i>fine as a fiddle</i> and <i>face made of a fiddle</i>, the latter used to describe someone who is <a href="http://menhealthsignal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">exceptionally</a> attractive.<br />
