on Health Care Changes
Single payer system.
Prevention requires public education of self-care, how diet connects directly to health, and shopping/cooking.
Prevention will also require regulation of food industry promotions and advertising dollars.
All the rest is whistling in the dark.

on Food Safety
It is important to recognize where these deadly organism originate: the intestinal tracts of animals. Peanuts and vegetables do NOT produce these toxins. Until the feedlots are moved away from crops, or better regulated, or CLOSED, this problem will continue. There aren't enough officials to run around the country checking all the produce. Stop it at the source.

on The Changeover: Health Care Prescriptions
Seniors are being terribly mislead by AARP, a rich organization that purports to represent our best interests. In the "health care" issue, they are a huge part of the problem. They have a hand in continuing insurance as it is - note their AARP insurance and Rx programs.
They are lobbying against our best solution, a single-payer system.
I urge all seniors to become familiar (quickly) with single-payer, and write Daschle, Obama, all who have power to change the sick system we now suffer under.
