I love quaker multigrain oatmeal but you can not find it everywhere. I like adding to my cereal also but have not tried some of those things. Thanks for the suggestions. Sunny Report Inappropriate Comment

Regular oatmeal IS Steel Cut Oatmeal, unless you mean rolled oats which isn't in my book. LOL The breakfast sounds healthy and nutritious. Using steel cut oats that is-cooked up from scratch. Enjoy! Report Inappropriate Comment

today was weigh and measure day
only one of my measurements changed (for the better) but I was really happy with my wt , down 2 lbs almost twenty since starting SPARKPEOPLE in September.
I am having lunch with the Dining Divas today and I am going to REALLY check the menu over for the best/healthiest choice (it's Italian cuisine). And I will have iced tea as my drink (unless I change my mind and just go with water). I had invited my daughter to join us, but she informed me she has a date with a dentist to remove a wisdom tooth...ouch

Most restaurants have their menus on line. It saves time and enables pre-planning. Have fun and choose well. Report Inappropriate Comment

today was a wash. had a pow wow of four people, to plan a menu and straighten some things out, then took Mom to my Uncles' house to straighten up the envelopes and magazines all over the place, he can't find what he needs to do his taxes, I got some paperwork I've been waiting for so I can do my taxes, barely got anything done in the yard, but I did get the trash cans out. Hubby has been in his robe all day didn't venture outside at all, it has been very windy today even had a wind advisary., redressed and bandaged Taz's wound it's getting a nice scab now and he is back to his feisty personality

  

the Health Bill passed the House of Reps

Monday, March 22, 2010

I just wonder how this will change the current state of affairs, and how long it will take to REALLY implement so it is running smoothly and accepted by all. Will this reverse the trend of all these Hospitals closing down due to lack of funds, or will it increase that trend. I already pay almost a $1,000.00 a month for my health care, does this mean it will go up more or will I get a discount, half of my pension goes to paying this fee monthly so I could use a break. Outside of the ovarian cancer, I've been blessed with good health all my life, but Hubby has so many chronic problems ; allergies DM hypertension obesity insomnia depression arthritis gout osteoporosis spinal spurs and herniated discs, and more... but you get the picture, we HAVE to have medical coverage for him alone

I think there is some good and bad we will just have to wait to see what happens:) I hope it all works out for my brother who lost his job due to health problems. He could really use a break:) He has no health insurance and will not be going back to work:)Have a great day and take some time for yourself and your active life:) Report Inappropriate Comment

I believe there are good points and bad points but I'm taking a wait and see attitude. There is just so much to try and understand it all. I'm a widow and concerned on how it will impact my healthcare which went up an additional $70+ a month this year. I pray that this is a good change for all. Report Inappropriate Comment

I don't think it will only make things worse. Where is the money going to come from. People just can't afford anymore taxes. And the part that if you don't don't carry insurance on your family you will be fined. If you can't afford insurance then your not going to afford the fines. Its going to hurt the Medicare system for the elderly. And the medicaid system need to be fixed, from all the abusers before they can extend that. They should of just thought it out more. Is my opinion. Some things are great in it though. Like they can't be turned down for pre exiting conditions. But we all have are own opinions. I am just glad I am in one of the states that is going to fight it. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm very pleased that the bill passed. My husband carried our health insurance until he retired two years ago and then we both went onto mine. DH has a pre-existing condition and we have been concerned about what will happen when I retire in another couple of years. I'll not be eligible for my current insurance. Now we will now be able to buy into a health insurance plan we can afford without losing our home. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm so happy the bill passed, I have been watching the news over here in Canada, surely it can only mean good things for families who could not get health care. Hope your hubby is not feeling to bad, I would like to wish you both the best of health, wealth and happiness. Report Inappropriate Comment

I am so concerned about this! I do not understand what it means, at all. We are already paying for people who do not have health care coverage(ie medicaid)which is so abused!!!! My daughter is an ER nurse ans she tells about teen age girls being brought in by the parents or grand parents for pregnancy tests &/or std tests...this is in the ER. They cannot turn any one away. Why are they coming to ER? Because a Dr. office makes them pay a co-pay. I also hear about people who claim poverty and get their hospital bills written off. What difference is this bill going to make??? Yeah, I am very concerned for my country. Report Inappropriate Comment
