Today, Dr. Donnica Moore was on The View and the topic was preventing bone loss in women. One of the ladies asked her about the recommendation that women should get a bone scan at age 30 as a baseline, since bone loss can start that early.
She replied that she agrees with that recommendation, but with [...]
No, I did not watch the infomercial for Obama’s health care reform, but I have been wanting to say this.

Green Mountain Daily has a post this morning about the upcoming health care reform battles.

I have been meaning to do a post about the SCHIP veto. I even have one in draft, but I have been hit with a second cold and this one has kept me off the computer most of the day lately.
I did, however, get a chance to stop by Green Mountain Daily to see [...]
I finally got a chance to sit down and read Hillary Clinton’s new health care plan. I have a lot to say about it, so let’s get right down to it.
As evidenced by the statement I quoted yesterday, Sen. Clinton is still recovering from the wounds she received the first time she unveiled her [...]

So, today Hillary Clinton unveiled her health care plan. I can’t wait to get into this, but right now I have a date to watch Curious George on PBS with the cutest and smartest 4-year-old in the world, so I’ll leave you with this:
