Voting on the health care reform has been indefinitely postponed by the key house committee. Democratic leaders were powerless in their ability to obtain enough votes from the sensible members of their own party. The session was cancelled by Commerce Committee and the House Energy because there were significant concerns about the legislation from conformist democrats who make up a large portion of seats on the board The only House panel with jurisdiction over the health care issue is The Energy and Commerce Committee and it has not finished writing its version of the reform bill.  This does not come as a very big surprise to me. I felt like we were rushing to make a decision. What are your thoughts to the postponing?

Before we can even discuss the health insurance reform we need to focus on the real issues, the foods we eat. The majority of the foods we devour are manufactured by big businesses that have a ton of influence in Washington. These businesses do not want anyone talking about them because their foods are causing diseases, which flood our healthcare system with unhealthy people. It’s all that added sugars, preservatives, and unnecessary carbohydrates. Hydrogenated oils have been known to damage normal brain and heart functions. There are a lot of our foods that are packed with sodium nitrate that causes cancer. It is a proven fact that people who constantly eat processed meats have a higher risk of getting pancreatic cancer. All this arguing about who is going to pay for our diseased country is just a distraction from the main issues which are the foods and the beverages that are causing these diseases in the first place. Rather than putting so much emphasis on the healthcare reform I suggest investing more time and money in preventative programs, educating the public about proper health care and producing healthier foods. What is your opinion?
