POPSHealth and Poverty - How To Stop Dying In America I have many personal testimonies to this article. Poverty leads to many, many health related issues. If you don't have enough money you don't go to the doctor. If you don't go to the doctor you can get worse or continue in ill health. Without money you can't afford to buy medicine when you need it, so your health can decline even more. You don't get enough good food ... you don't exercise ... you can't afford to maintain good dental practices ... you can't afford to get your children proper medical care. You end up with hospital bills in the tens of thousands of dollars that you will never be able to pay. How are health and poverty related? They are related in every way you can possibly imagine!

POPSBoomers In Bad Shape? So ... are we "boomers" good or not? I am reading it both ways. I have always been healthy, and it says this is a good thing. I think people who smoke and drink to excess have problems of their own making. I personally think that health can also be a state of mind. If you moan and groan all the time and complain about little aches and pains you will feel bad more often than not. Interesting, if not slightly contradictory, findings.

POPS"Obesity" Olympics? China Joins the Cola Wars Here we are sending our corn syrup laden, fat producing colas to China, and they send their poison food over here. Fair trade? Our product makes them fat (which in the long run can kill you from obesity and poor health) and theirs kills outright. Fair Trade? Seriously ... I feel sorry for their children being introduced to Western culture by destroying their health and becoming addicted to colas. Soft drinks are not one of our better representatives!

POPSHealthcare Overspending Doesn't Mean GOOD Healthcare Personal story: My mother, in a nursing home, was sent to the hospital without my being notified. The nursing home reported to the hospital that she was complaining of "chest pain", neglecting to inform the hospital that she has had a serious fall and struck her head only a few days proir to that. Before I could find out that she had been admitted, the hospital had completed over $20,000 worth of cardiac tests on her (which her health insurance would pay for) for NO REASON. After I found out she was hospitalized and got a chance to speak to her doctor, he performed a simple x-ray and an MRI and found that she had sprains and strains in her chest and spine related to her fall. The doctor was the one who ordered the cardiac testing with no cardiac complaints other than "chest pain". WASTE!!!
