Let’s talk about health care, because face it, that’s what we do. Sure, we blog about the health care crisis and politics, and we dabble in stirring the pot here and there, but beneath it all, at the core of what the No Insurance Club does, is promote affordable health care. It’s that simple.

The No Insurance Club began when a doctor in small-town Arizona realized that there was a better way to give his family patients the care they needed. There was a better way to make time to spend with them during their visits, lower their costs, and give them the treatments they deserved. I guess you could say it’s a cross between concierge medicine and your regular family physicians’ plan, but with the No Insurance Club you still get the VIP treatment for half the cost.

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.

Well, I’m back. I know, it’s been a little while, but with all the filming, casting calls, and appearances, things have been a little crazy around here. Maybe I should introduce myself again. I’m NIC the frog. If you haven’t seen me around, don’t worry, you will. I’ll hop my way into your blog here and there, make appearances around the globe and always be on the tip of your tongue when it comes to healthcare in this country.

You’re probably thinking, what can a frog do to free our healthcare? Ha, what can’t a frog do to free our healthcare?! I have the answers you have been waiting for. I know you want to free our healthcare. I’ve been told time and time again by everyone I talk to. That’s why I took over the Oval Office a few days ago. If you haven’t seen the footage, keep an eye out. We’ll get it up here soon.

The best laid plans with ABC’s best-laid to jumpstart the debate about health care reform it still came across as an “infomercial,” as many have complained. This so called “Prescription for America”, Obama spent over 60% of the time as his questioners, vaguely answering or not addressing the questions asked of him at all. Why didn’t ABC just donate time to Obama an hour of presenting his personal views? Were they afraid that his teleprompter would lose power or that he would just blow it?  Did it come across that Obama was just there to promote his plan and not to actually address any concerns that the public may have? ABC (government owned network) consistently presented the event as part of the need to fix a “broken system.”

When asked, every one of the 164 hand-picked audience members all stated that a there was a definite need for health care reform. There was one question that Obama definitely danced around and never did answer. He could not or would not give a direct answer when asked would he use this health care fix-it program for himself and his family. So the only conclusion that can be drawn from his refusal to answer the question must be the old adage ‘do as I say, not do as I do’. So I guess in this case ‘what is good for the gander is not good for the goose’.

Kathleen Sebelius Health and Human Services Secretary defends Obama public health insurance plan. No surprise here since she was selected specifically to promote the Obama socialized health  care agenda. Yet, she is facing strong opposition from Republican leaders, extreme criticism from powerful business groups and the majority of the legal working and voting citizens.

Sebelius stated to the House Energy and Commerce Committee a government-run health care option would increase choice and competition. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce begs to differ and stated in testimony that it would “gut the private market.”

Is your freedom to choose your own personal health care in jeopardy under the proposed?  From all account as to what is being made public about the Obama-Kennedy-Pelosi-Care it could be devastating to us.  Yes, it is wise to be concerned about the cost… but even a greater concern is the callousness of this plan.  Politicians in DC are scheming behind closed doors to impose a massive government-run health care system on us Joe and Jane Citizen the American people. This proposal is not only on track to bankrupt the country financially but to bankrupt our health care and our freedom to choose our health care provisions.   It seems the real catastrophe or most horrifying aspect of Obama-Kennedy-Pelosi-Care is that it will actually limit your family’s health care choices. The government bureaucrats will be in charge of your family’s medical decisions and health care needs. These government bureaucrats will actually get to play God in you and your family’s life. These sanctioned god-government -bureaucrats get to decide who gets what treatment and when. It will no longer be between you and your doctor to decide what is best for your health care. Under the Obama-Kennedy-Pelosi-Care it will be decided by the non-medical government bureaucrat to determine if you are a worthy candidate to receive certain types of medical care, or if you will be rejected because you are deemed unworthy for appropriate medical care. So for potentially life- saving or life- extending treatments you will have to take a number and stand in line.

Some pundits write that the secret emerges: The government is going to cut medical costs by cutting medical care…. Decisions will be made not based on the medical need but on financial.  Decisions will not be based on the doctor’s opinion or trained medical judgment but a bureaucrat and an accountants opinion of what the new health care system (Obama-Kennedy-Pelosi-Care) can afford.  You will not be able to bypass their decision and pay for this care yourself.  If the Obama-Kennedy-Pelosi-Care is implemented private payments will not be permitted. What is now a private fee for service will be metastasized into a bribe. This is only the beginning, rationing is coming and coming quickly!

The ‘White House’ admits Americans will be forced out of their current health care plans.’ Yet it seems the White House officials suggest that Obama’s rhetoric should not be taken literally.  It seems the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has made it clear that un-numbered (millions) will be forced to give up their health care plan they currently have under the Obama/Democrat health care plan.  Has Obama deliberately misled the American public or is he just so in experienced and naïve that he doesn’t even realize the implications of this proposal?

Obama and the congressional Democrats continue to make repeated promises that  American’s can keep their current employer health care coverage but in a story per the Associated Press(AP) the White House officials  finally admitted  that is not true.

It’s time to get back to nature and the God given natural food- nutrients instead of man-made drugs. This is not a revolutionary eating plan but only that of nature to achieve your optimum health. All fruits and vegetables grown according to God’s direction are valued for their antioxidants may in fact provide multiple benefits for your bodily, and brain health.  Every disease can be traced back to poor nutrition. Nature’s drug store may not only slow oxidation, but also acts as anti-inflammatory agents, which in turn makes the body healthy and the brain less vulnerable to amyloid plaque. These same nutrients improve communication between neurons and allows the brain to regenerate and that contributes to better health and memory in old age.

 The food you eat directly affects the performance of your body and brain. It is proven that by eating the right foods and/or taking natural/nutritional supplements can boost your energy, improve your mood, improve the IQ especially in children as they grow, develop and mature. Those that are eating nutritionally, or taking nutritional supplements will generally be more emotionally stable and have a keener/sharper memory and keeps the mind young. Feeding the body the nutrients it craves will give your body energy and stamina, and the brain will be more alert, able to think quicker, have better memory capacity and better concentration.  This is most especially true for children as they are growing, and in the mature to maintain their physical and mental vivacity, and energy.

Senate has engaged in taking major steps toward an extensive overhaul for the nation’s health care system. It is the intent of the Democrats despite strenuous GOP opposition to insure a national/socialized health-care plan.  Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., is overseeing the proceedings in place of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., because of medical complications. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee have begun work on a bill encompassing President Barack Obama’s legislative priority. The effort marked the first time since President Bill Clinton’s administration by Hillary Clinton’s proposal that Congress tackled a national health care system.

High costs and assumed uneven health care for millions of Americans that are uninsured have created the strongest political momentum for re-addressing a reform to the health care system in a decade. Only 1/3  of the Senate measure has been estimated to cost about $1 trillion over 10 years with an additional $1 trillion for the other 2 segments over the same 10 year time span. Even this could still leave 37 million people uninsured, according to an analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. So it looks as a full reform health care plan could cost more than $3 trillion.
