Obamacare Facts - 0 views

  •  
    Highlights some of the more important parts of Obama Care. SHows the pros and cons and some of the legal dealings of it
  •  
    Obama care is somewhat of a bittersweet law. The ones who could not afford health insurance can now afford it but the ones who already had health insurance have to pay more? makes no sense to me but it is helping the country i guess.

Anti-smoking vs. personal freedom - Philadelphia Business Journal - 1 views

  •  
    These is a great topic in my opinion. You hear so many people talk about how they have stop smoking to avoid getting sick in the future. I think its great that smoking is banned from many public places, because like they say second smoke has the same affect as if you where the smoker. I see that more and more people prefer non smoking hotel rooms, bars, restaurants etc its a better choose for are health. And like the article mentions of not hiring smokers.

Smoking in Public - 4 views

  •  
    This topic is debatable about whether or not the smoking law is agaist our personal freedom act.
  •  
    This article states why smoking in public was banned. Though, having the choice to smoke when and where you want is a personal freedom that has been taken away. There are seperate sections of buildings when smoking was allowed. If you don't like it, choose not to do it.
  •  
    Many states in the US have banned smoking in public places due to public health concerns. Second hand smoke had become is dangerous and has become more talked about.

    This is a great article. I believe that a person who is facing a fatal debilitating illness should be able to die peacefully and with as much dignity as possible. It should be a personal choice how, where and with whom you die.
  •  
    I agree that this is a good article. I wrote a paper last year on this topic. Its very interesting and there are many articles that describe the pros and cons. I also believe it is a right to be able to die when a person is in such pain and bad health.
  •  
    Very good article and very forward thinking. It's good to see states are taking an interest and putting legislation into place to protect a terminally ill person's right to die with diginity.
  •  
    This content of this article gives me mixed feelings. I agree mostly on the side of helping miserable suffering people end their lives without pain. On the other hand i feel bad for families that would have to be going through this and it almost makes me feel like the person tired of living might be slightly selfish? At the same time, there are some terribly painful illness' that no one should have to go through.
  •  
    The article was different and to the point. Choices of an individual that is suffering from his or her own terminal illness should have their choice on what they want to do in their final days.
  •  
    I think this is an awesome article, and a very important law. I would cautiously compare it to the living will statement of "Do not resuscitate." Last wishes should always be respected regardless of what anyone else may think. As long as it is within the bounds of compassion and humanity I find nothing wrong with choosing how one wants to exit life.
  •  
    This article was very interesting and I have to say I agree with the right to be able to choose the time and place you will die. The way your life ends (if you can control it) is a very civil and peaceful freedom we should all be allowed to take advantage of.
  •  
    This was a good article, but I have to agree with Alexis, I have mixed feelings as well. I personally don't agree with assisted suicide. To me, suicide is suicide, and I feel that people should die in the natural way.
  •  
    This is surprising to see in the way that it has been kept underground and has had successful results. Although it is not surprising that many terminally ill patients would opt for this.
  •  
    This article is a tough one. I agree with everything everyone is saying, but initially it is about the person who is suffering. If one of my family members were suffering with an illness that unfortunately ended with an early death and they were in horrible pain, I would rather tem be at peace and end their suffering if it is what they wanted.

    I didn't know light affected any way in pollution. I knew it wasted energy and it was bad, but not that it could affect our health. It is good that France has this new policy to help reduce light pollution.
  •  
    It is very interesting to think that light affects air pollution. I defiantly would have never thought it was an issue.
  •  
    I would have never thought this was an actual issue? I am glad i read this article and i am now more informed on this issue. I had no idea light affected pollution.

Walker proposes spending more on mental health - 1 views

  •  
    The shooting which occurred in December which left 20 children and six educators dead at the hands of a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT has caused the issue of gun control as well as the issue of mental health to be looked at more closely. The President of the United States, Barack Obama chose to issue a proposal for stricter gun control measures, due to this. Walker, as well as several other Republicans agree that the main focus should be on the issue of providing mental health services to those in need prior to violent events taking place.

Health Care reform - 0 views

  •  
    This article summarizes 10 top facts about Health Care Reform. Insurance companies will regulate more heavily. they will be told the minimum for services that they will cover. Everyone will have health insurance or they must pay a fine. Employers will be mandated to provide insurance to the employees or they will be fined also. Which sounds good to me, my employer thinks he doesnt have to give anything at all.
