Dr. Oz, who doesn’t love him? If you aren’t a fan of Oprah, and have only watched one, single episode, it was probably an episode with Dr. Oz in it. He’s been on over 50 Oprah episodes, explaining health and our bodies better than anyone is his scrubs. The ladies love him, and the guys listen to him, which is why he’s got his own show on the way.

Not unlike Dr. Phil, who I must say I have never been a fan of, Dr. Oz made his mark on Oprah’s talk show with a unique way to consider health. Due to his popularity, Oprah offered to help him get his own show going.

Death Risk Rankings

DeathRiskRankings.com, a new website that is creating quite a buzz, claims to be able to tell when you are going to die. Morbid sounding, I know, but growing to be extremely popular. With the new 3-D version of Final Destination coming out, the timing was perfect for Death Risk Rankings to launch.

According to Fox News, Death Risk Rankings calculates death rates based on data from the U.S. and Europe. Students from Carnegie Mellon University came up with the idea and converged as much information as they could regarding a person’s death risk based on age, weight, gender, location, and everything and anything else that you can think of.

Was there a secret death panel? Is that why the Senate Finance Committee withdrew its bill its bill the inclusion of advance care planning consultations, calling them too confusing? Maybe, or maybe the death panels were just a mock-up from Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh and the White House saw so many people running scared and confused that they gave in. Well, at least now the crazies at town hall meetings will have to scream about something else.

The Right’s scare tactic regarding death panels began only a short time ago, with Sarah Palin’s remarks both in front of the media spotlight and on her Facebook page. The death panels circus show was thanks to Palin’s comments, such as this one from her Facebook page where she uses her disabled son as a ploy in her fear tactic campaign.

Obama’s town hall meeting in New Hampshire has come and gone, and it was just as drama filled as everyone expected. Protestors surrounded the high school where President Obama held the town hall meeting, holding signs that read “Obama Lies, Grandma Dies” and “NoBama Deathcare.” It was an interesting sight, and one that will be repeated many times as Obama makes his way across the country holding town hall meetings to discuss the six myths of healthcare reform.

What we thought about here at the No Insurance Club was the thousands of lost souls out there who want to take part in one of Obama’s town hall meetings and disrupt the democratic process through violent threats and obnoxious yelling, but can’t quite figure out how to be accepted by the mob. Well, we’ve got you covered.

Our Ceo Chad Harris likes to call us social media healthcare, since we are obsessed with interacting with our members via Twitter, Facebook, and through the blog comments. We’ve got a great following here, and we thank each and every one of you.

With that said, I came across an article today that I just had to share. It might be a little bit more for the techies out there, but around the office we find it very cool. The White House has launched an interactive social site for health care discussions. The health care forum, Reality Check, lets anyone and everyone discuss current health care myths and concerns. The format is mostly visual, with embeddable videos and links to every social network that the White House has.

It seems that Patients First is mysteriously all over the internet today. Do you know who Patients First is? While Patients First may claim to be for you, the patient, behind the scenes of it’s funding sources and it’s creators may tell a different story.

Do you know who is funding these spontaneous town hall meetings and uprisings? Sometimes you have to look just under the surface to find the truth, and Patients First might not be exactly who they say they are. I love it when someone out there actually digs a little and finds the cold-hard facts on corporations like Patients First. Your opinion of this “grassroots” organization and it’s “sponateous” town hall riots might change after reading the following from the prominent blog VideoCafe.com.

Don’t you love it? President Obama’s health care logo is raising eyebrows across the internet today. Leave it to good old Rush Limbaugh, Aunt Sara’s favorite radio personality, to stir up the pot today and insight fear and loathing on the internet. Give Uncle Rush some extra hydrocodone and that wide-eyed audience and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Maybe that’s what’s helping him to see theses images that simply aren’t there.

So, what did Rush Limbaugh say about Obama’s health care logo? Well, apparently the new health care logo is similar, in his eyes, to the Reichsadler, the symbol of the German National Socialist, otherwise known as the Nazi’s.

I came across an op-ed piece in the NYTimes this morning that caught my attention. It’s an interesting article from a different point of view than many American’s are used to hearing. Health care reform and the overwhelming fear of government involvement has intoxicated people lately, especially here on this blog. One of the great things about this country is the different viewpoints and the freedom to express those viewpoints. Health care reform is a topic that touches each and every one of us, and, as I’ve mentioned time and time again, it’s important to know the facts and hear different sides of the story. Here is just another side:

While Congress is heading out for their summer break (must be nice), the president was bearing the heat in North Carolina, attempting to convince American’s of his health care reform plan. The August deadline for passage of the plan is coming up quick, and will pass us by with no decisions. But that didn’t stop the president from continuing conveying his message.

“Nobody is talking about some government takeover of health care,” Mr. Obama said. “I’ve been as clear as I can be, under the reform I’ve proposed, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. These folks need to stop scaring everybody.”
