Just saw the movie last night. The most disturbing part was the lady who was the Medical Director for that insurance company saying that she caused the death of so many people by denying claims based on technicalities etc...Shame......
No, i dont think Michael Moore showed the WHOLE truth about it all (like the high income tax rate of Canadians to pay for socilaized healthcare) but my goodness- we dump people who cannot pay hospital bills off on the street in front of homeless shelters on skid row?!?!?! .....And how is that $50 million for the volunteers that worked at ground zero being allocated??? The people in the movie didnt see a dime of it and they were clearly in need...And WTF? Prisoners of war- the same people who want all Americans dead (AND tried to kill a significant amount of us on 9/11)- are getting "top notch" medical treatment at Guatanamo Bay??? Thats just messed up! Your thoughts? Do you think we could ever have a National Health Care system?

I recently took my 6 yr old son to his pediatrician for a check up...one of the things she suggested since we do not have fluoridation in our water, is chewable fluoride tablets...are you kidding me? Why aren't doctors in this age of technology, more aware of the effects of the things they prescribe to people? All I had to do was google it...and all sorts of information and documentation came up on it...?????

I just watched sicko by Michael Moore. Great movie but I just don’t understand why is so hard for the USA to have universal health care? Isn’t the drug company one way or other making a profit by selling their drugs to the government or private insurance company anyway? Maybe they can even jack up the price even more since we all know when government is paying we always add more to the price. Anyway I just don’t understand why USA can’t have universal health care or at least have the choice for poor people to have this and the richer people to choose have their own private health care system. In addition I would also like to know how this is possible: in the movie there was a case where a guy saw off his two fingers by accident, I thought in the case of emergency like this the hospital should re-attached both of his fingers no matter what, then after that tell him about the cost. I just don’t know how this works. Please help better understand these issues. Thank you!

I have 2 scars on my face from mole removal.. is there anything anyone would reccommend to reduce the appearance and help them blend in with my skin?

My demetologist says he doesnt think any of them work, and people had reccommended pure vitamin E to me, but he says he has found this to actually make the scar worse on some patients!

I was just wondering has any scar treatment like bio-oil or mederma worked for anyone else's scars?

I've been visiting my doctor a lot lately but it hasn't really helped at all. I have some kind of digestive problem on and off (bloating, sometimes constipation, get "stiches" very easily when running - no matter what time of day or when I last ate.), slight headache/pressue around top of head, sensitive to light, lack of energy, less concentration/unable to think clearly, slight memory loss, thirsty, dry lips, slight ringing in ears. I had a blood test recently which tested for stuff like kidney function, liver function, dibeates, etc. and they were all normal - except possibly a condition that causes me to sweat more than usual. I've tried getting more daily exercise which I think helped with digestion, but made everything else worse. My diet is not excellent, but I beleive it is fairly good. I eat apples and bananas every day. I had a similar (same?) problem before and the doctor back then thought I was low on potassium, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas?

Would you get plastic surgery if it benefited your health like if you didn't get it your body could go through some major damage say from sever obesity.

i have ocd. its not that bad at all compared to other people...i mean if you've seen that episode of true life about ocd i'm am nothing like that but i can see that its there. for example, when i go out to eat, everything on the table has to be in a row....not in one necessarily but you know gridded almost? and i hate it when food touches...and i can't brush my teeth without having my hands being wet up to my wrists...its been getting worse though...like things i have to touch before i go one...or when i write i have to have every question take up the same amount of lines....

i mean all of this isn't getting in my way of everything...not slowing me down..i can leave somethings behind...well, sometimes...but they do bug me afterward if i haven't done something...i think its getting worse because of stress though...

do you think i should wait and see what happens or get help?

I am a Mum of 2 and I completely forgot about a doctors appointment I had. They did call me the day before & remind me but for some reason it just completely slipped my mind on the day. I got a bill in the mail 2 days later for $90 stating failure to attend. Is that legal?
