Dressed in target, approximately 20 doctors traveled from Puerto Rico and showed at the head of the White House last Tuesday, the 30th to ask the President Barack Obama to consider in his health reform a medical insurance that it should cover to all equally. Other doctors of the United States joined the cause.
Dr. Eduardo Ibarra, president of the School of Medical Surgeons of Puerto Rico — organization that supports the reform — says that there is needed a wide care that does not exclude the persons for his migratory status or his economic situation. “We propose a plan of health that it covers to all from the moment in which it is in the belly of his mother until he dies”, says Ibarra.
“ This is completely realizable, but political will is needed”, he adds.
Ibarra compares this new struggle with the one that happened against the slavery or with the one that escaped for a free education. He says that the citizens need time to adapt themselves to this idea, but that many persons have already realized the situation and ask for a health system with universal access.
The group proposes that the new health plan to begin to be implemented in Puerto Rico, where the index of poverty of his inhabitants is 45.5 per cent and approximately 500 thousand do not have medical insurance.
The doctors say that the American territory would be the ideal place to implement the program because it would not be compared with the nearby states. “If it starts in Puerto Rico it would be a beginning of a national movement. Puerto Rico, for being the poorest, would be most benefited. Then it might expand the program to you wish the states”, he says.
One of the most radical changes that the doctors propose is that there is only one company that administers and only one handles the universal insurance, the multiple insurances that take charge of this now.
The doctors say that this must be an organization without lucre ends and that the persons who at present are in the private area should change to the new system.
“ The health is a human right. He shelters us to all beyond our condition of the state or territory and that is not great to ask”, he says. “It is never of more requesting that they listen to us.”

| Vegetarians = Health + Love to the Environment |
For Maria Gómea
The president Mary's Center
In 13 years through that I managed to live in my native Colombia, I do not remember to have met a person who was merely a vegetarian for conviction. Sadly, which did not eat meat of any type it was for lack of money to buy it, not because they wanted to continue a vegetarian diet.
Definitely, the times have changed. Today I see as in the whole world the vegetarian population has spread in big dimensions. In the United States, a survey done by a vegetarian organization a few years ago thought that about four 10 % of the national population was considered to be vegetarian, that is to say, approximately 15 million inhabitants.
The survey also thought that almost three per cent of the population - almost 7 million persons - never eat meat, chicken or fish and that close to one two per cent there are ‘Vegan‘ or extreme vegetarians, that is to say, those who eliminate any animal product of his lives including the eggs, the honey and everything what has animal origin.
There are many motives so that a person decides to be a vegetarian, but there are two strongest: to take a more healthy life and to support and to defend the environment on not having compromised the life of the animals for his feeding.
Many studies have demonstrated that the vegetarians have a better health than the carnivora. For example, they present lower valuations of problems of the heart, of calculations and of cancer, especially of lung and of colon; also the vegetarians have less problems with the diabetes, the blood pressure, the cholesterol and the excess weight. The vegetarian meal is considered to be highly healthy and provides all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats that the body needs any time one can consume correctly.
Those who are not vegetarians usually think that to deprive the body of meat products, is going to create shortcomings in the organism, but this does not happen if the nutrients are compensated with the appropriate products. For this, the vegetarians definitely have been able to find the equivalents to the nutritional balance; this includes in addition to the fruits and the vegetables, many types of grains, nuts and soybean, between others.
But not necessary the one who wants to be a vegetarian has to limit to eating only fruits, vegetables and grains. There are some vegetarians who do not stop consuming eggs or milk; others that also fish or chicken eat, but generally the first thing that they leave aside the red meats are for the most poisonous and most harmful are considered for our organism.
Skylight that, on having said that the vegetarians have more possibilities of a better health, does not mean that not vegetarians could not have an excellent health and quality of life.
I personally keep on finding taste to all the meats, but I admire the discipline of feeding the body with grasses, plants and natural products. It is important that if you decide to go away for the vegetarian wave, there is informed on how to take a diet balanced to compensate the nutrients that it is eliminating and so that his organism absorbs enough calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin C and D and everything necessary so that there is no desbalance.

In case that you are taking medicines: has he wondered what is it the best hour to take them? To answer that one and other questions, the clinics of Molina Healthcare, which operate in Fairfax's County, they have a consultations program on the use of medicines for his patient members.
Lauren Seller, technical pharmacist who attends in the clinic of Falls Church, tells that one of the common consultations is to determine which the side effects of the medicines are. “For example, a patient had the well puffed up feet and did not know porqué. With the consultancy we discover that a medicine for the pressure took the distension of his feet as a side effect”, he says.
“ The patients can discuss the use of medicines with or without recipes, what will allow to prepare errors in his therapies and this way we make sure that they should have an ideal treatment”, says the pharmaceutical director of the organization, Sheyda Aryana.
The consultancy is not free, and the persons must be members of Molina Healthcare to gain access to him.
“ To determine the eligibility of the persons, is seen how much wins a year, how many persons live in the house and must show tests on his revenue. A person who lives alone cannot gain any more than 21 thousand dollars a year and cannot qualify for medical insurance”, says Seller.
If you live in the area dl through Fairfax's county and want inscribirseen the program, it can call to the Department of Health of the county and depending on his residence and eligibility it will be able to register in Molina Healthcare, says Lauren Seller.
