Obamacare’s new message to employers: Drop health insurance for workers
Post Date: 2013-11-09 17:06:29 by Ada

Doug Holtz-EakinThe bombshell that just dropped is not 4th of July fireworks – it was the White House announcing that it was delaying enforcement of the employer-mandate in ObamaCare until 2015. For a public inured to craven political decisions trumping policy, even this was a stunner. Can the president simply ignore the law? Technically the mandate is not gone, but the administration has great latitude to determine its priorities in enforcing the law. It will simply be much too busy to penalize those violating the mandate, an executive power grab that is familiar from their playbook on education, climate change, and elsewhere. The policy implications are fairly straightforward. ...
Beat Deadly Multidrug Resistance to Cancer

Beat Deadly Multidrug Resistance to Cancer Wednesday, 06 Nov 2013 08:55 AM By Dr. Blaylock One of the greatest fears for oncologists is that a patient’s tumor will suddenly become resistant to their current chemotherapy treatment, as well as all further chemotherapy — a process called multidrug resistance (MDR). When this occurs, the cancer not only begins to grow again, it grows much faster and becomes more aggressive. What’s more, because chemotherapy has already damaged the patient’s immune system and weakened the other cells and tissues in the body, they are likely to die quickly once this resistance occurs. No drugs have been discovered that can reverse the ...

F.D.A. Ruling Would All but Eliminate Trans Fats By SABRINA TAVERNISE Published: November 7, 2013 1105 Comments The Food and Drug Administration proposed measures on Thursday that would all but eliminate artery-clogging, artificial trans fats from the food supply, the culmination of three decades of effort by public health advocates to get the government to take action against them.

Drug ingredients made in China entering market with little oversight

SHANGHAI/LONDON — Philippe Andre, a detective in the murky world of Chinese pharmaceuticals, has some alarming tales to tell. In May last year, he visited a factory an hour outside Shanghai that supposedly produced a pharmaceutical ingredient. While shown around by men wearing protective clothing and spotless hard hats, Andre noticed oddities: the floor was immaculately clean and some workers sat around idle. The factory had an inspection log that spanned eight years with perfect record-keeping, but the handwriting was the same for all those years and not a single page was dog-eared. What's more, while the factory had equipment to dry its product, there were no connecting pipes ...

Tactical units and first response teams throughout Dallas-Fort Worth will soon participate in the same terrorist preparation exercise implemented in Boston, Mass., only months before the Boston Marathon bombing. The Arlington Police Department – along with more than 50 first response teams from 16 North Texas counties -- will train in a "multi-disciplinary, full-scale" exercise called Urban Shield on Nov. 9 and 10. Urban Shield is being coordinated by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). The NCTCOG is a “regional” government whose representative body is made up of self-appointed city councilmembers, county commissioners, and mayors. ...

FDA To Ban Trans Fats By MARY CLARE JALONICK 11/07/13 09:21 AM ET EST AP WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — Heart-clogging trans fats have been slowly disappearing from grocery aisles and restaurant menus in the last decade. Now, the Food and Drug Administration is finishing the job. The FDA plans to announce later Thursday that it will require the food industry to gradually phase out all trans fats, saying they are a threat to people's health. Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said the move could prevent 20,000 heart attacks a year and 7,000 deaths. Hamburg said that while the amount of trans fats in the country's diet has declined dramatically in the last decade, they ...
Don't Get Sick in July

Nov. 6, 2013 — With almost no experience, newly graduated medical students enter teaching hospitals around the country every July, beginning their careers as interns. At the same time, the last year's interns and junior residents take a step up and assume new responsibilities. Share This: In addition to developing their nascent clinical skills, each entering class of interns must grasp the many rules and standards for operating in this "new" hospital structure. More experienced physicians share a joke about this changing of the guard: Don't get sick in July. But the data to back up this quip has proven hard to find. Over the years, numerous studies have shown no ...
Warn Patients of Herbal Products' Contamination Risks

Medscape Hello. I am Dr. Gerald Chodak for Medscape. Today I want to talk about an article by Newmaster and colleagues[1] in BMC Medicine that analyzed the content of several herbal products. The investigators purchased 44 different over-the-counter herbal products containing a single entity, and they used a technique called "DNA barcoding" to analyze the contents of those products. They could be authentic, meaning that they contained exactly what was said on the label; they could be substitutions, meaning that they did not contain what was listed on the label and there was something else in place of it; or they could have contaminants, meaning that they contained some of the ...
Access shock a bigger problem for Obama than lost insurance

President Obama has spent the past two weeks on the defensive as millions of Americans are receiving cancellation notices from their insurers as a result of changes made by his health care law. But there’s a bigger problem for Obama than Americans getting annoyed at having to lose plans that they like, despite his oft-repeated promise that they could keep them. At the end of the day, people aren’t necessarily loyal to insurance policies or companies. Americans routinely switch plans and insurance companies as they shift jobs, move, get married or have kids. Insurance plans are merely a means to an end — obtaining medical care. That’s why it isn’t Obama’s ...

Everyone now is clamoring about Affordable Care Act winners and losers. I am one of the losers. My grievance is not political; all my energies are directed to enjoying life and staying alive, and I have no time for politics. For almost seven years I have fought and survived stage-4 gallbladder cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than 2% after diagnosis. I am a determined fighter and extremely lucky. But this luck may have just run out: My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective Dec. 31. My choice is to get coverage through the government health exchange and lose access to my cancer doctors, or pay much more for insurance outside the exchange ...
Rise in Pets as Therapy for Mental Conditions

Animals increasingly are being used to assist patients with mental disorders, as evidence grows that they can help people with autism, PTSD and other conditions function in their everyday lives. The assistants are usually dogs but sometimes can include miniature horses, chinchillas or other animals. Some are highly trained psychiatric-service animals that, for example, might help autism patients improve their social skills and interactions. Others are household pets called emotional-support animals, or ESAs, a fast-growing type, partly because they require no special training, just a doctor's note saying the pet helps the patient. Some owners of emotional-support animals say having ...

Zilmax: Slaughterhouse Observations Raise New Concerns about This Growth-Promoting Drug November 05, 2013 | 37,222 views Visit the Mercola Video Library By Dr. Mercola One of the reasons I stress the importance of only eating organic, grass-fed beef is because animals raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are given unnatural inferior feed loaded with antibiotics (i.e. grains instead of grass, and most of it genetically engineered at that), along with a variety of veterinary drugs. Many of these drugs are administered for prophylactic purposes to prevent illness, and others are given as growth promoters. Zilmax (Zilpaterol) is one such drug. It’s a beta-adrenergic ...

Flaxseed Lowers Blood Pressure: Study

Flaxseed Lowers Blood Pressure: Study Friday, 01 Nov 2013 01:06 PM Eating a bit of flaxseed each day might help lower high blood pressure, a new study suggests. Researchers said it's too early to swap out blood pressure medication for the fiber-filled seeds just yet. But if future studies confirm the new results, flax might be a cheap way to treat high blood pressure, they added. Flaxseed is well known as a plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and lignans, a type of antioxidants. But so far, its effect on high blood pressure, or hypertension, has been better studied among animals than humans. "This is the first demonstration of the cardiovascular effects of dietary ...

But while it can be beneficial for virtually everyone, especially if you're seeking to combat the natural aging process, it's absolutely vital for those taking a statin drug. One in every four Americans over 45 is on a statin, and every single one of these ...

“Nothing is lost save honor.” So said Jim Fisk after he and Jay Gould survived yet another scrape in their corrupt and storied careers in the Gilded Age Fisk’s dismissal of honor came to mind while watching Barack Obama in Boston smugly explain how his vow — “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it!” — was now inoperative. All along, it had been a bait-and-switch by the first hustler. In Boston, Obama could no longer evade the truth. Hundreds of thousands of Americans who had purchased health insurance in the private market were getting notices their plans were being canceled. That this revelation had blown a hole in his credibility did ...

It has been reported that Scientists from the University of Oxford and Churchill Hospital in the United Kingdom have discovered that women with larger than average butts are not only increasingly intelligent, but also resistant to chronic illnesses. One of the many conclusions and explanations behind these finding include: “A big butt requires an excess of Omega 3 fats, which have been proven to catalyze brain development. The researchers also found that the children born to women with wider hips are intellectually superior to the children of slimmer, less curvy mothers.” The Researchers analyzed and compared female belly fat with the legs, hips and buttocks, finding that the ...
Why The State Likes To Frighten You

Many libertarians and Austrian economists consistently preach that the battle we are engaged in is a battle of ideas. Education is paramount. In other words, those who subscribe to this point of view believe strongly in winning the long-game. He who wins the long-game, wins. The State is powerless against an educated public (which is why they cherish so greatly their monopoly on “public education”). The Internet has provided an end-around that monopoly, so many libertarians go to work on changing one mind at a time, with an eye on winning the long-game. The Internet also makes the playing field global. It’s just as important for a New Zealander to understand the ideas of ...
Knee Brace Reduces Damage, Pain in Osteoarthritis

Medscape: SAN DEIGO — For the first time, a scientific study has shown that a simple slip-on knee brace reduces bone marrow lesions and pain associated with osteoarthritis. "There is a pressing need for nonsurgical interventions for knee osteoarthritis, but there are no currently approved structure-modifying treatments," said lead investigator David Felson, MD, from Boston University. "Bone marrow lesion change offers a tremendous opportunity for drug development in osteoarthritis. Unlike cartilage loss, bone marrow lesions are associated with pain. They could be a structural treatment target if we can demonstrate repeatedly that treatments are effective," he ...
