If you are unemployed and over 55 years old but under 65 years old you 18 months of COBRA does not help you. Without a new healthcare system your entire life savings is at risk. A simple gall bladder illness that results in infection can cost well in excess of $100,000 to treat. If you don't have healthcare insurance you sell everything you have or as the Grason says, you die.
My husband, an Army veteran, was turned down for any insurance because he was 10 pounds overweight, and his cholesterol was high normal. It was more likely because he was approaching 60 yrs old. He's still too young for medicare, but I've seen him endure some serious back pain because he's afraid to go to the doctor. One minor procedure for me was over $11,000. 15 minutes in the OR, 3 hrs max at the outpatient center. It's scary. Most people that like their insurance have employer paid insurance
Too bad that good nutrition and exercise are not panaceas to keep you safe from cancers caused by environmental poison, accidents, and diseases that you just get. I'm considered a health nut, but it didn't keep me from getting thyroid problems, essential tremor (no cure or relief for that) and now Hepatitis C, maybe from a past surgery. Not drinking sodas will help maintain your weight sometimes, but as you age, you will get sick. My brother got Crohn's in spite of good nutrition.
Thanks. I am partially covered as BCBS considers tremor and Hep pre-existing. He hasn't been able to work, and nobody will hire him because they don't want somebody with Crohn's on their insurance rolls. The meds also cause kidney stones & pull calcium from his bones.
But in this health care debate nobody ever talks about serious injury. What if you fall and get brain injury? Nutrition certainly won't prevent that.

As a former floridian I see no guts from him. The economy in Florida is the reason that The Democrat voting base is growing those who can afford to leave ... leave. those who can't go on welfare and live on the streets. Then come election time they get a free meal and a ride to the ballot box. GRAYSON DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE COUNTRY THE MARGIN OF THE 2008 VOTE WAS NOT A LANDSLIDE I DOUBT HE WILL BE A SECOND TERM CONGRESSMAN

Lmao, he treats MSNBC like his PR wing of his campaign. Loser. And he has no guts, he won't even go on the O Reilly Factor or Hannity to debate! HAHAHAH
I love how you conservatives always whine about MSNBC - maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't Joe Scarborough have a THREE HOUR BLOCK EVERY MORNING? The ultra conservative windbag Pat Buchanan is a guest on at least 5 separate shows a week? I think Fox and MSNBC are pretty unwatchable, but I guess you can give props to Fox for not even trying...It's about time the Dems dismissed this lazy entertainment /news channel...
LOL. "Congressman with guts" my ass! He'll come on with MSNBC but won't ask a simple question to a Fox reporter in the corridor without them "making an appointment"? What a weenie!
Grayson's favshow, The Young Turks, radio tv show, is led by Cenk Ugyur , Mankiewicz , Ana Kasparian, all zionist jews pretending to be turks. e. Historically, Young Turks were atheist Jews instrumental in the genocide of Armenian Christians which Cenk denies ever happened. Cenqs favorite author is Salman Rushdie, and he is proudly sponsored by Huff. Post, a front for the Kissinger Rubin CFR. . Hopefully, Cenq wont do for America what the Young Turks did for Turkey and its Christian minority
Grayson represents ignorance and double standards. In fact, he looks like a Union thug !

Grayson for the win. Conservatives fear him because he speaks the truth.

Congressman Grayson has started the beginning of massive exposure of fraud and obvious over pricing of medical services on all levels.
In my opinion, this will prompt the nation to explore means of maintaining ones own health through nutrition and fresh produce.
Drink not one (1) soda at all and your health will instantly improve, honest truth.
