A Tale Of Two Health Insurance Extremes - Kaiser Health News
This story comes from our partner 
The U.S. spent $2.6 trillion on health care in 2010 ? more than the entire economy of France or Britain. But the amount spent and how it's used varies from state to state.
And, at the opposite ends of the spectrum:?Texas and Massachusetts. At 25 percent, Texas has the highest rate of uninsured people in the nation. Massachusetts, where a 2006 law made coverage mandatory, has the lowest rate ? less than 2 percent of people are uninsured. Here's a look at two Americans who are living the reality of that difference:
Walking A Health Care 'Tightrope'
For six million uninsured Texans, having health problems?can mean an anxious scramble for care at overcrowded charity clinics or the local emergency room. Melinda Maarouf knows that experience all too well. She's a teacher's aide at the Faith Christian Academy, a private school just outside of Houston.
"Unfortunately, we're a small school and the budget doesn't allow for insurance for the employees," she says.
Maarouf is divorced and has a daughter in college. The school where Maarouf works can't afford to bring her on full time right now, so she makes just over $11,000 a year. That income puts her right around the federal poverty line, and it makes for some hard health choices.
Melinda Maarouf, 55, works part time at a small Texas private school that doesn't provide her with health insurance (Photo by Carrie Feibel for NPR).
She has high blood pressure, and has skipped pills to make her prescriptions last longer. "I can always tell when the blood pressure's elevated," she says. "I feel uncomfortable. I feel edgy and kind of shaky, and my ears ring."
Maarouf knows that if she doesn't keep her blood pressure under control, she could have a stroke, heart attack or kidney damage. She recently found help at a charity clinic where she pays only $25 per visit. Even so, Maarouf says the blood pressure is all she can afford to treat right now.
"I haven't had a Pap smear ? goodness, I couldn't even tell you ? probably since my daughter was born, and she's 26," she says. "I haven't had a well-woman exam. And I'm sure it's time for some routine blood work."
Maarouf has never had a mammogram and she's continued to push off some needed dental work ? but medical bills scare her. In 2010, she went to the emergency room with chest pain. Doctors didn't find anything wrong, but she ended up with $3,000 in bills.
Maarouf couldn't keep up with the payment plan, so she simply shoved the bills into the bottom of a drawer and swallowed her anxiety.
"Oh, my credit's pretty much shot, as far as that goes. But there's not much I can do about it," she says. "You just have to move on, do what you have to do to survive."
Like millions of other working Texans without minor children, Maarouf can't get Medicaid. And she's years away from Medicare.
Hospitals in Texas spend over $4 billion a year treating uninsured patients like Maarouf. Some of the cost gets absorbed by county taxpayers, and some gets shifted onto insured Texans, who pay higher premiums for their own coverage.
Maarouf says she feels stuck and exposed. "It's like you're sort of walking a tightrope. I sometimes feel like I'm on the edge of a cliff. As long as everything is status quo and there's no glitches or bumps in the road, I feel OK," she says. "But I sometimes feel like I'm one emergency room visit away from a catastrophe."
In Massachusetts, Relief For The Uninsured
Five years before Massachusetts started offering free and subsidized coverage, Peter Brook couldn't afford health insurance or the daily insulin and needles he needs to treat his diabetes. Things have changed for Brook since the Massachusetts health care law, the same one that helped shape the federal Affordable Care Act.
"When I didn't have health insurance, I'd use a needle for 30 days, like 150 shots or something, so it gets a little bit dull," says Brook, who does odd jobs like landscaping to cover his basic needs.
When he had health complications related to his diabetes, he didn't have money for care. The worst was a digestion problem that would bring on crippling stomach pain.
"I would tend to hole up in a fetal position at home, and then over the course of week or two, my skinny body would lose 25 to 30 pounds and then I'd end up looking like a death camp survivor," he says.
Handyman Peter Brook, 51, pulls weeds outside his church in Boston. Before 2006, Brook says he couldn't afford health care (Photo by Martha Bebinger for NPR).
And then there was the time Brook fractured his?pinky and set it by taping the broken section to his ring finger. The pinky is still crooked, but today Brook has free health insurance and a regular doctor at the South Boston Community Health Center. His only expense is a $3.65 co-pay for prescriptions, which adds up to about $14 a month.
"I now have good health care, so that is a weight off of my mind," he says. "It's been a year and half since I've been in a hospital, and for the first 50 years of my life I never went six months without an inpatient hospital stay for one thing or another."
Brook's care is free, but Massachusetts ? with help from the federal government ? spends roughly $182 million more every year on health coverage for low-income residents than it did before 2006, according to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation. And Brook worries about those costs.
"Who's paying for it? Where's that money coming from?" he asks. "If society were a human being, then they're dragging a ball and chain down the street on their ankle."
Brook has joined the?Greater Boston Interfaith Organization in lobbying Massachusetts legislators to control health care cost increases so that coverage will be affordable. And as lawmakers finalize bills, there's a vigorous debate underway about what state government can or should do to about limiting spending.

All About Anti Aging Clinics | All About Health
In most cases, anti aging clinics make use of natural methods like proper nutrition, exercise and supplements to fight the various signs of aging. Many clinics also offer surgical treatment solutions but not every clinic provides that specific service.
RIGHT NUTRITION TO FIGHT AGING
What you eat affects your health and eating the wrong food items can interfere with the aging process. Therefore it is very important that you eat the right food items to fight the signs of aging. There are many anti-aging food items that can provide health benefits and help you feel and look young within no time. Fresh vegetables and fruits are extremely beneficial. Clinics recommend healthy food items like nuts, whole grains, berries, green tea etc. and seek to avoid processed food as much as possible.
SUPPLEMENTS TO FIGHT AGING
Anti-aging clinic recommend many different types of supplements. They might recommend multi-vitamin supplements, also HGH i.e. Human Growth Hormone and DHEA. These supplements boost the immune system and help the body function optimally. They also help to keep you energized and focused. They strengthen the body from within which leads to glowing, healthy skin. However, before taking any supplements, it is wise to consult with a doctor.
EXERCISE TO FIGHT AGING
Exercise can benefit individuals of all ages. Anti-aging clinics recommend exercise on a regular basis. It can help promote healthy living and slow down the process of aging. Many clinics recommend the combination of strength training exercises with cardio to get the best results. Mental exercises are also recommended by clinics to their patients.
SURGICAL ANTI-AGING METHODS
Anti-aging clinics may also provide surgical methods such as face lifts, liposuction, botox infections etc. But not every anti-aging clinic would offer you with surgical methods. Some anti-aging clinics also offer other alternative anti-aging methods like oxidative therapy, acupuncture and chelation therapy.
Hopefully, now you can understand anti-aging clinics better. As you can see, they offer many benefits which make them a viable option that you may consider giving a second thought to.

Hi Deb,
Just in case no one has applauded you yet, let me be the first (maybe not).
I read your discount for the Caldwell, got tickets and went to the show last night.
The show was very entertaining and the theater is of course, ?beautiful. But the best part was your ability to arrange a discount for Stepping Out readers. I hope more people take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. I thank you again for your efforts. I will look forward to any future entertainment postings. You know I always read your site anyway.

Interesting Note: Today's Booming Cocktail Culture: SO WHAT ARE PEOPLE DRINKING?
?
'Generation X'? / 'Generation Y':? Not Your Father?s Cocktail
Some of the people polled strongly feel that drink choices are different along generation lines. While the 'Boomers' tend to stick to their regular drink of choice, they find 'Gen X and Gen Y' drinkers are highly open to experimenting and sipping something new. Perhaps the words of a seasoned cocktail veteran and general manager of Boston's new Island Creek Oyster Bar, Tom Schlesinger- Guidelli, sums it up best: ?Wine drinkers still drink wine. Tequila- and agave-based spirits as a whole have grown.? In particular, you see movement in the craft cocktail world through younger drinkers who find wine intimidating and cocktails as an easier avenue for exploration. At the end of the day, you still see people in a pretty classic, aperitif style cocktail before dinner, wine or beer with dinner and straight spirit after.?

Ensure The Pets You Love With A Pet Food Containing L-carnitine
Las Vegas, Nevada (NAPSI) - When it comes to pet food, most people give little thought to the ingredients in the bag. Fortunately, in some pet foods, there?s a multitasking molecule - L-carnitine, that can do your animal a world of good. Here?s how:
Burn, Baby, Burn
L-carnitine helps transport fatty acids inside to the cell?s furnace (that is, the mitochondria), where they can be converted into energy for the body to use for breathing, eating, resting, metabolism, activity and so on. It helps pets stay lean and live longer, while also helping with extra energy.
Surprise!
Fat is good for the heart
An estimated 80 percent of the energy to run that vital organ comes from fat. Together, fat and L-carnitine can generate the fuel the heart needs to keep up with the daily beat. The largest concentration of L-carnitine resides in the heart and skeletal muscles. In order to maintain a healthy heart in all stages of a growing animal?s life, make sure the pet food that supports heart health includes L-carnitine.
Muscles need more than spinach
Skeletal muscles require constant energy?and there, L-carnitine plays an important role. It also helps optimize blood flow, which is controlled in and out of the muscles via clamps in the capillary beds. It?s important that these clamps remain open so muscles get the nutrients and oxygen they need. L-carnitine helps keep these clamps open, helping muscles with their maintenance, function and recovery. For senior pets, it can help maintain muscle mass.
Antioxidants: To serve and protect
The body continually produces free radicals, which can wreak havoc on it. When free radicals come into contact with cell membranes, they can cause cell death, loss of tissue integrity and a weaker immune system. One way to keep free radicals in check is with antioxidants, which the body produces to fight them. L-carnitine was recently shown to help the body crank out more of its own antioxidant defense by turning on its antioxidant genes. It helps the body produce its own defense to control free radical damage. L-carnitine also offers overall support of immune health.
Giving Them L-carnitine
It?s estimated the body can produce only about a third of the L-carnitine it needs?the rest must come from food and dietary supplements. That?s where a company called Lonza comes in. It?s recognized as the global L-carnitine expert and leader in the manufacturing of CarnikingTM?a special grade of L-carnitine developed for pets. Savvy pet parents look for CarnikingTM L-carnitine in pet foods used in weight management, in active formulas, and in foods designed to help support muscle development and function in animals of all ages.

You can get further information about L-carnitine and animal health from your veterinarian and online at www.carniking.com.
