Taking back a key term from the insurance industry. Shall I use it in a non-insurance hub?
I was about to use the term "health care" for a hub on the importance of drinking enough water during pregnancy, e.g. Pregnancy Health Care Includes Water, but then realized that "health care" equates with health insurance. What do you think? Since the primary purpose of the hub will be to encourage people to take care of themselves, so they don't need insurance, shall I go ahead with it?
YES!! take it back Jack!!
I wrote a hub that went into this issue. It ticks me off. Now both sides use a term "Obamacare" as though anything about his proposals have to do with "care".
My wife is a qualified medical coder --- the folks that translate "care" into billing. Twenty grand into education, and the system makes us so sick, we agree she should not pursue it as a career.
Health care is about taking care. It is not medicine it is about taking care of your health.
Health Care only needs one reform --- let's start taking care of our health. Insurance, providers and big Pharma need major, cut out the parasites, reform.
Water from washing, to plants to drinking enough to starving dehydrated refugees is our abundance. And the best substance to help take care or our health.
You go watergeek.
Sure I think so. I talk about health care and don't give insurance a thought.

I have been listening to how the government has a billion dollars for getting people to sign up for the Affordable Healthcare Act. Would that money have been better spent training more doctors and building new hospitals? New Jersey has closed how many community hospitals in the last few...
