Health Care

I would like to get everyone's feedback as to who you think has a better healthcare plan for this year's election. Obama or McCain? And why do you think that? I personally think that whichever one would make health care more universally affordable would be the best way to go. Let everyone have access to medical care, and if people can afford it, allow them to spend a bit extra to get more of what they want. It's hard to sift through all the propaganda and figure out the truth of what each candidate stands for. ## An informative and (seemingly unbiased) comparison can be viewed at: HealthDecision ’08: Obama and McCain on Health Care

I'm moving to atlanta in sept n looking for a Suboxone dr there that takes health care or clinic if anyone could help ## Hello, Peaches! How are you? There is a search engine on the website that lets you look for a doctor by zip code, it's at Suboxone.com click here. And it will include contact information so you can check with them to see if they accept your insurance. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I received 100 MG of Filenda and what to know if the manufacturer is a trusted brand and how closely they are watched to insure they copy viagra exactly so as the intended use is the same? Viagra works well for me whereas cialis does not and causes leg cramps and a white Viagra copy did little to help even taking 100 mg when 50 mg of real viagra works wonders. ## Fildena is another generic for Viagra, so it contains the same active ingredient with is Sildenafil. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stuffy/runny nose, and priapism. The main concern is the source it has been obtained from, outside of a licensed U.S. pharmacy, there is no way to be sure what it actually contains, and whether or not it is safe. Many other countries do not...

Triclosan

Triclosan (sometimes abbreviated as TCS) is an antibacterial and antifungal agent present in some consumer products, including toothpaste, soaps, detergents, toys, and surgical cleaning treatments. It is similar in its uses and mechanism of action to triclocarban. Its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent, the risk of antimicrobial resistance, and its possible role in disrupted hormonal development remains controversial. Additional research seeks to understand its potential effects on organisms...

Don't never try to by anything from this company, it's a scam, they took $87 from my bank without telling me, when I call them, they have horrible costumer service even the managers .... They're trying to take money from people ..... So ....be careful ... ## Hi Jenny, Thanks for the forewarning! Crazy thing is, there happens to be not just a few, but about 16 other discussions started here over the past 3 weeks about people getting scammed by Keragro. Their scheming seems to have hit a large wave of people at the same time: "Related Keragro Discussion Threads" Maybe if everyone banned together we'd be able to get them shut down. If not, at least their reputation has been tarnished enough for newcomers to avoid doing business with them. ## They took $87.47 from my...

Hello All, Well for those who have advocated for a return to for profit medicine while blasting everything that related to the former POTUS and so called Obamacare. I'm just curious to how you interpret the changes to come? I have failed to notice posts from these once vocal supporters and his promise to change the healthcare system for the better. If you are out there I'm curious how you feel today. ## Unfortunately, America has always had a 'for profit' medical system, which you can read about under various U.S. FDA and NIH guidelines. Obamacare, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act, did not change that, all it did was make it so that everyone was entitled to medical coverage, regardless of preexisting conditions, income, and other factors. For instance, in the p...

Governor Kasich is proposing a 5 year transition plan that is forcing Medicaid patients to go with Health Care Agencies. First with agencies you don't have access to workers background checks, their addresses even! Yet they come into your home to care for the most disabled. Independent workers: You have their personal information and they answer to YOU. When agency workers are fired and choose to harass patients for it, you have their name and address for the police. Not so with agencies. WHY is there a push towards agencies in Ohio? There is no VALID reason. Not for us to know. They say there are more independent workers who defraud but we've had 2 great independent nurses who are angels but aides from agencies we've had to fire one after another. They've lied, cheated ...

United Healthcare mailed me (unsolicited) a finger prick test, saying it is to be "mailed back to UHC" in place of a colonoscopy. It does not ask for a stool sample like the normal kits. I called my primary care doctor and he said "blood work cannot tell if you have colon polyps". Seems more like invasive phishing for pre-existing conditions. I DM'd UNITED HEALTHCARE on TWITTER and they did NOT dispute this! I then tweeted it out to alert others to throw it in the garbage. They apologized for "your frustration" but they never denied that the test was a bald-faced lie. I threw the kit in the trash and my colonoscopy is in 2 days. I have a history on colon polyps so even the stool kit would not be for me. NEVER mail bloodwork to ANY insurance carrier. The trans...

what is ovacare forte tablets used for? please explain the advantage and side affects of this tablet ## Ovacare is a nutritional supplement, usually given to help women who are having trouble getting pregnant or having other feminine issues, such as menopause. It contains: Imositol, L-Arginine, Folic Acid and anti-oxidants. However, as a supplement and not a medication, it is not actually proven to help with anything other than a possible deficiency in these nutrients, which in reality could prevent some women from getting pregnant or contribute to various health problems. Since it is not a drug, the side effect profiles have not been studied for it. Are there any comments or questions?

For the last 2 months my husband has been getting tired, weaker and short winded. We have been to all our Neph. Drs. and till today they would not tell us a thing. When they found out we were going to a gastronoglist today he was told to have his hemo and epogen levels checked because the gov. was making them cut back on the drugs and type of care he is getting as a "medicare cost savings" 'their hands are tied' when a dialysis patient dies of heart failure or body shut down there is no way to check for this cut back. I say who are they to decide what quality of life kidney patients get????? The last time I checked we were still living in a FREE LAND not a dictatorship or communist regiem! let your Congress men and women know we won't stand for this!!! They can cut t...

Have an excellent doc but he does not practice pain management due to dea regulations and paperwork etc i need a family doc who handled pain management. ## This is no longer possible! Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll have to see a pain management specialist if you require narcotics for pain control, then another doctor for your other health issues. The easiest way to get the help you need would be to ask your current doctor to refer you to someone. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Where do you live? My doctor does my primary care AND pain management. She has 2 specialties. I am only required to make separate appts. For pain management issues. There are no plans for this to change. I asked yesterday.

I need help bad. I called River Oaks 3 times a week since last July and I cannot get a bed, other then that there is no other help in New Orleans. I am tired and I see no point on going on living like in severe pain. This is not a life, this is hell. ## First, I am very sorry that you're suffering, no one should have to feel like this, but suicide is not a good solution. You rob yourself of the joys of life and you rob everyone that cares about you in the most cruel way possible. That said, I'm sure there is other help available in Louisiana. It might just be a matter of finding it. Have you tried the social work department of your local hospitals? They usually have lists of places that can help people that are in your situation. ## If you were going to kill yourself, you'd ...

And I'd lost my job bc I can't work when I'm sick. ## Do you still have insurance? If so, what type do you have?

My doctor is in NE Minneapolis which is maybe 10 or 15 minutes from Bloomington....
