The Rich and Poor- Podcast 167
I was struck by a statement in Tom Brokaw’s new book called A Lucky Life Interrupted and the quote is by Jesse Jackson. “The rich are all about living and the poor are all about dying.” This, of course, points to the inequities of our healthcare system Obama Care or no Obama Care. Obamacare is… Continue reading The Rich and Poor- Podcast 167

Your Mortality Zone- Podcast 165
What is your mortality zone? Does such a thing exists? It’s a term I just heard on Fresh Air, NPR public radio’s interview with Tom Brokaw. It is a clever term, and it got my immediate attention, but in the end what is immortality and mortality? Can they exist in the same space at the… Continue reading Your Mortality Zone- Podcast 165

Public’s Right To Know–Podcast 162
Today’s podcast is me walking around the Lancaster County Park smelling for chemical pesticides and Round Up because my nose is extraordinarily sensitive.

I took Pearlie for a walk again today in the Lancaster County Park, to be greeted by a strong chemical smell of weed killer.

Poverty, Healthcare’s New Level Playing Field – Podcast 159
As we continue to celebrate Nurses Week, I can’t help but be honest about our healthcare system. Obama Care has never been a solution, in my opinion, as to how to fix the healthcare system. If you’re healthy, chances are you’re not going to get sick. Obama care is great for that. But when you’re… Continue reading Poverty, Healthcare’s New Level Playing Field – Podcast 159
