Health care is making people fat now?
Western Europe has an average life expectancy of about 6 months longer than ours.
Wow.
wow.
let's not even talk about the issue.

Dems want mental health, dental for all..
During the closed-door session Tuesday, Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) told colleagues that any bill should include mental health and dental insurance.
Republicans should be on board with this, their core constituents are missing about half their teeth and could use some mental medicine.
We're fat and we live just as long. In your face EU.
wow.
let's not even talk about the issue.
wow.
Sorry, you brought up life expectancy and then everything went to shit.
Are the folks in the EU as dependent on drugs for every little sniffle as we are? I wouldn't mind seeing universal health care in this country denying some of that sort of thing.

One thing about it, a move to national healthcare will slow down big pharma's ability to wine and dine doctors, hire people to stop by once a week marketing the doctors and dropping off samples.
Anxiety medicines and anti-depressants are great break throughs, but the overuse has a great deal to do with how they are marketed.
Same as "restless leg syndrome" medications and what not...
So, yes the over prescribing will slow down a lot.

You do realize that's a real thing, right?
Maybe you scoff at needing a specialized med for it (ibuprofen works fine for me), but you put quotes around that phrase again, and I will make sure that during my next episode of The Jimmy Leg, I am kicking an imaginary BVS every three seconds.
My Mom and I both suffer from RLS and it's horrible and I have spent many nights completely unable to sleep because of it.
I don't mean to offend.
I've seen several comments online in the past few months that made me realize that there were people who didn't think this was a real thing.
That's the feeling I get about insomnia.
While I try to manage mine without meds, I do have a couple of prescriptions that I can go to as needed. I can't tell you how many times I've heard some form of "What do you mean you can't sleep...you're not tired enough" in combination with "sleeping pills are bad for you." Well no shit Sherlock, but you try functioning when you are getting 2-3 hrs of sleep a night every night for a week.
the over-the-counter stuff is ghastly (like Advil PM)
i've been on the couch watching TV and falling asleep, i get up, walk to the bed, lie down, and i'm suddenly wide awake and my mind is racing and racing and racing ... and there's nothing i can do to stop it. i've done yoga, buddhist meditation, breathing techniques, various herbal teas, etc. the over-the-counter stuff is ghastly (like Advil PM) and i am very, very thankful for the small amount of prescription medication that i do have.
I was thinking about resorting to this. Is it that bad?
I used to have many of these issues, but they have seemingly gone away. Omega-3, Magnesium, 5-HTP, and phosphatidylserine helped on a lot of this, personally.
Just in case you were interested...
Maybe someone with more knowledge on the subject can expand on this, but maybe the drowsiness only occurs with specific types of antihistamines?
I know a lot of people who do, but I've never become drowsy on antihistamines...
As far as I know, "PM" formulations of OTC meds simply contain an antihistamine to make you drowsy. You'd get the same effect from taking Benadryl.
