The (UN)Affordable Healthcare Act, Halloween, Thanks giving and Hanuka plus Xmas seasons are upon many agendas. But it's hard to enjoy the fun stuff when healthcare issues seem to be plaguing you.

One quick look at headlines tells a scary story:

• Detroit plan gives pensioners 16 cents on the dollar
  - Tips for Detroit's pensioners amid city's woes
  - Paralyzed Detroit fireman to lose health benefits

and 

Obama blames 'bad apple insurers' for canceled health plans...

'Just shop around'...

Ben Carson: Obama Wrong to Imply ACA Foes Don't Care

You can change that from scary to merry with a decision. Decide to take charge of your life, and to leave politicians out of it.

Feel Better FAST - No Matter Where You are.

This blog has been quiet as I interact with people in desperate need of the medical care coverage listed in the Global Resources section of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. 

Some of them feel daunted by the reading they must do. 

Others are happy to follow up on the contact information for organizations that provide medical exams, X-rays and other diagnostic services, medical equipment, medication and other medical necessities at reduced or zero cost to YOU.

No matter where your head, heart and wallet are at, know that recognizing the hard work ahead of you is a good thing. It's called "Normal." For readers now benefiting from the services they'd needed, it's reassuring.


There's no need to feel like a frog trapped in a pot of boiling water.

The book will speed up your search for what you need to know such as: 

 • How to acquire a vehicle that fits drivers still in their wheelchairs! 
• Which worldwide organizations are willing to pay for part or all of your medical needs (medication, medical care, medical insurance, medical appliances and more!) 
• Who can help you and how in specific situations 
• What to do about rude relatives and medical professionals – and how to get them to serve your needs 
• Mood lifters to make you smile again 
• Tips and tricks for organizing that mess of medical and insurance papers – even your medical appointments! 

I gathered the information in the book from colleagues I'd worked with in my former Health Information Management profession and from subsequent research. I also invested what I know about human nature and needs. 

I'm certified in Counseling Skills and in Spiritual Chaplaincy. And I share America's concern as voters and tax-payers cry out for justice (in a country that once stood as the very symbol of justice!).

A medical crisis - you'd cry too, if it happened to you. 

Use your tissues and handkerchiefs with my blessings borne of experience. GOD gives you Permission to Weep. And you can say that to any critics after explaining that "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To." Show them pages 4 and 5 in the book.

 

Dry your tears with the E-book or print edition of EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge. 

Face Your Medical Problems with Dignity. Face Your Future with Optimism. 

Factual information can improve your health. I hope it does!

The Myth of Some Medical Expenses - and Facts for Lowering Them

B'SD

14 Cheshvan, 5774

Whew I've had a busy, time-consuming week. I'm pleased to have accomplished my goals, but sorry to have missed making this post go live in a timely manner. 

Why? Because the information below just might save you some major money!

The New York Times recently published an opinion piece entitled The Myth of the Medical-Device Tax.

It's an insight into an apparently unjustified expense for some patients. 

I hope that the op-ed will fuel positive changes and improvements in the medical device industry.

Meanwhile, if you need to lower your medical costs one way or another, read on.

has several pages entitled The Global Resources Section. 

It's filled with information about worldwide organizations willing to pay part or all of an applicant's medical expenses: Medication, medical care, medical travel, medical appliances and more. Maybe yours!

I can't promise that you'll find exactly what you need in that part of the book, but you might. 

The soothing content in the rest of the book can help you to calm down, to put things into perspective, and to organize your hectic medical life.

How to Lower Europe' Cancer Crisis with a Menu

11 Cheshvan, 5774

BBC has an alarming report entitled Cancer Costing European Union Countries 'Billions.'

The fact is that dairy foods have long ben implicated with rising cancer rates in any part of the world. Dairy is loaded with hormones suitable for young animals, not humans. That commercially processed and prepared dairy items have synthetic hormones added to them only complicates matters. Human bodies can't tolerate the onslaught. It wreaks havoc with the digestive and other systems.

Here's a quick peek into some online resources about the dairy-cancer connection:

Clean up your plate. Lessen the amount of dairy products you eat until you're not eating any. Your body can recover when you lighten its load.

Healthcare that Works

B'SD

4 Cheshvan, 5774

I shudder to consider how many Americans will be harmed by Obamacare. Rules for it vary from state to state, the "free" aspect of it disappeared over time - and the price is prohibitive to people and organizations that simply can't afford it. The fines for not buying into this insurance plan are no improvement to anyone's health.

Obamacare is not about health. It is about limiting your insurance options and your healthcare choices. 

It is about forcing you to pay for something that can harm you. It is not about a better future.

Case in point: Cancer. Read Forbes' article How Obamacare will Harm Cancer Patients.

Doctors note that Obamacare has shut Down Medical Conferences and stalled medical research.

I don't call it ObaNOcare for nothing.

 Here are only a few of my Facebook comments about Obamacare's anti-health nature:
