The Problem with Health Care

My hair stylist and I have so much more to talk about than my hair, and currently, we're sick of discussing men. We're too busy trying to solve a few of our nation's problems. Here's what we came up with today:

Health care needs to be accessible to all, affordable to all, and provided for free to those who cannot work or become unemployed. How to fund these changes: tax all unnecessary food and beverages. Tax junk food, tax McDonald's and other fast food, tax Twinkies, tax processed and boxed food with sugar in it. Then make some changes in the farm bill -- subsidize fruits and vegetables and regional organic farms. Make healthy food affordable to all. It's not that complicated. But the people who benefit from the current system don't want to change--even if it's best for communities.

Read Michael Pollan's article on how U.S. food policies impact climate, then read his book, In Defense of Food.The more you learn, the more you can get involved.

Write your state reps and congressmen/women!!!!!
