Show 073 - A Quick Look At Conservative Health Replacement for ACA

    
Having access to health care is not a right in America. You can have life, you can pursue happiness but not a word about healthcare.If you have an anxiety or panic disorder this affect you; even if you have private insurance. This issue effects everyone. I thought that there should be an introduction to the basics about this topic.

There is a lot of fear speech about the replacement for ObamaCare/ACA. So much fear that many of my friends and associates have gained weight, have high blood pressure or their symptoms are off the scale.

I have always found that knowledge, accurate information is the foundation for a good treatment plan. I want to reduce the fear with information. What you do about this information is up to you.






This is just a quick look using publicly viable sources and is my attempt at explaining what I currently understand to be elements of a conservative health care replacement for ObamaCare. I have tried to be objective. I have gone to known conservative think tanks, two non-partial think tank, two politicians websites and publications that monitor the healthcare industry.

ObamaCare/ACA does have a mental health component. I didn't seen anything in my research that talked about either restricting or expanding access to mental health services. I'm going to keep monitoring and let you know of any additional information.

Show 072 - Snatch and Go Meditation

  , , ,   
Every dang day there is something new to bang your head against the wall. You shouldn't do that; banging your head causes pain, bruising and you'll only wind up doing it again. Now if you could find a few moments to chill out that would go a long way to getting you stabilized.

For some of you, you kind of like it rough. Two of the resources below have NSFW language that you will either find funny or familiar. Maybe you are just not ready for loving kindness type meditation. There is an app for that.
