May 23, 2014 By admin Leave a Comment

The 2nd largest Seniors organization, Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), has a proposal of how to cover 16 million patients' health care costs for free.

What's more, the other concern doctors had with regard to taking on a larger caseload was the additional exposure to potential malpractice lawsuits since their insurance rates are already sky high.

National Meningitis Association Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary Mothers Who Have Lost Children to Meningitis Continue Efforts and Urge Parents to Get Their Kids Vaccinated For 26 days, Lynn Bozof sat helplessly by her son Evan’s side while a bacterial infection called meningococcal disease took his life.

She met other parents whose children had died or lived with permanent disabilities from meningococcal disease. Together they formed the National Meningitis Association (NMA) with the hopes … [Continue reading...]
