Health Care

Put me down on the side for major reform of our health care system. This is a national problem that we have put off for far too long. I don't know what we will come up with to improve our system but it sure needs attention. Private health insurance, universal care, single payer, public health care, medicare, the veterans administration. There are a large number of different models. Some may be working well, others not. We have so many American citizens, millions with no place to go to get health care at a reasonable cost, it is a broken system today. I stand on the reform side and I hope we get it right and soon.

In the meantime, if you have the most basic level of health, if you can walk or ride a bicycle the odds are you are one of many that can take immediate action to improve your own personal level of fitness, thus positively effecting whatever health care plan you may or may not have.

Part of every health care system, at the most basic level, is your own personal health and fitness plan. You can make a tremendous impact on your quality of life and upon spending less of your own money in the long term, if you choose to adopt a fitness plan than includes some aerobic activity on a regular basis. If you make your own fitness a priority and go at it on a daily basis, you can create a habit that will pay you dividends for years to come.

The debate over reforming our health care system in the U.S. is underway. This debate will continue for some time and perhaps for a good long time. However the debate over adopting our own health and fitness plan and making it a part of your life is no longer debatable. There are hundreds of studies going back decades that support a regular exercise program of aerobic activity. Implement the most basic level of health care, your own. You don't have to wait for our elected leaders and political pundits, special interest's, corporate executives and talking heads to initiate a plan. You can begin your own personal health and and fitness plan now.
