Porn The Vote

Where does one begin to tackle this problem. I worked in health care and have been around the environment closely for more than half of my life and I cannot come up with a solution simple or complex. Here are just a few issues:

1. Insurance companies (that in my opinion are just scams and the public’s number one enemy).

2. Pharmaceutical companies that have had inflated prices from their inception and are public enemy number 2.

HAVE YOU NOTICED LATELY THAT THE ONLY ADVERTISERS THAT CAN AFFORD SPOTS ON MAJOR TELEVISION STATIONS ARE INSURANCE AND DRUG COMPANIES?

3. Then of course there are the people in the U.S. (TRULY A NATION OF VICTIMS) always crying “WOLF” and trying to milk the system when in fact they haven’t been injured or done wrong. Risk management is a department in hospitals that settles cases for patient’s when an error is done or they see a loophole (or their attorney) finds one to jump on.

4. Then we have the trusty American Medical Association which is it’s own political machine which I will not even attempt to tackle.

5. Illegal Immigrants. So many Americans are uninsured today. An illegal immigrant must be treated in our ER’s if injured. What about the U.S. citizen that has paid taxes, worked hard, owns a home and can’t afford insurance? Do they deserve liens and lawsuits because they are legal and hard honest working people?

6. Now we have a government trying to manage this catastrophic situation. Oh great!

I really can’t wrap my brain around this issue. It starts cramping. I would like to see each state appoint a board of physicians to begin to create a solution. The American people should be able to choose ANY health plan available in ANY state in this country to start and  not be limited to their own state government regulations. Your comments and suggestions are encouraged.

Dr. Sharon Mitchell (founder of AIM) was part of a well informed panel of experts at one of the seminars at XBIZ Hollywood last week. It appears as if OSHA (The Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is now trying to apply its regulations to the adult industry. Here comes government sabotage again! Surprise! Surprise! 

In the 1980’s hospitals instituted universal precautions primarily because of the HIV virus. As a nurse, the only thing I could do to a patient without gloves on was interview them. If this was the case, then anyone visiting a patient ought to be wearing gowns and gloves.  I saw many family members of HIV positive patients (angry and in denial) refusing to wear gloves or gowns and taking their germs out into the community after a visit. If OSHA can’t apply its regulations in a hospital, then how are they going to apply it to all of the consenting adults that are having sexual relations in the community?????

If OSHA is going to have standards for every production studio in the U.S. then why aren’t they sending out protocols and standards to every producer in this country? 

I would encourage all of you free people and free thinkers out there to join the Free Speech Coalition today! We must have a voice in the community, to stop the assault on the adult industry.

Wow! What a woman! You will really enjoy this informative clip on AIM. Dr. Sharon Mitchell was on a panel of medical experts and attorneys at XBIZ discussing new OSHA regulations in the adult industry. Stay tuned for my blog on this issue. Please join in and comment. Government regulation or sabotage?

Did you all know that October is breast awareness month? Women can get a mammogram at a discounted rate. They usually cost around $250.00.  This month a woman can get one for $70.00 or less .  I received my prescription for my mammogram and called to make the appointment at a prominent hospital in Ft. Lauderdale.  I told the technician that I had the form for breast awareness month and would like the discount to apply.  She asked me if I had implants.  I told her that I did and was told  that discounts don’t apply to women with implants. So breast awareness is only for women without augmented breasts! I wonder how many women that excludes?  This is one glaring example of how health care is mismanaged in the U. S.
