Subject: that chiropracter isn’t participating in their network
While I also have a number of concerns about Blue Cross I did want to clarify a point made in the last chat list.
If Blue Cross won’t cover the treatment by a local chiropracter it’s because that chiropracter isn’t participating [...]

Unfortunately, health care is costly and confusing. The main reason our costs are so high is that 80% of the issues we face are Preventable. Obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes (90-95% are type 2). Lifestyle is the cause.
What most folks may [...]

Meg,
That just went too far! You want to talk about other people offending you. What goes around comes around and you shouldn’t even be on or read the chatlist. I can’t believe you would even say something like that period. This is a free country [...]

“The Case For Legal Late-Term Abortions,” by Jim Buie, Newsweek.com “Abortion wasn’t an option for my parents, but raising my severely retarded brother nearly destroyed our family.” It is sparking interesting comments.

Few people seem to understand the personal and societal price to be paid when choice — even late-term choice — is eliminated. In the United States, only Kansas allows doctors to abort fetuses after 20 weeks. If you believe late-term abortion should be illegal, then it…
