Obamacare and the Future of Health Care in America
submitted by: admin on 10/15/2013
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a step in the right direction by providing healthcare for the poor, but it is a far cry from the Universal Healthcare that was supposed to be part of The Change We Need.

Gross national happiness is the mantra of Bhutan that looks at the principles of interdependency, cultural preservation, cultural integrity, ecological and stewardness, and ecological sustainability.

The Placebo Effect with Ofer Erez
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
