The purpose of this blog is to discuss and document issues surrounding the body, dis/ability, illness, health. It is meant to serve as an investigation into these issues, prying them apart, looking into them a little bit deeper, maybe even deeper than that. Medications will be discussed. Healthcare is a topic of great concern. Body criticism. Art. Activism. Anything and everything.

article in the NY Times today.  Today, Obama is proposing legislation that would give the government the ability to block insurance company rate increases.  his legislation is somehow supposed to bridge the gap between the bills put forward by the House and the Senate.

This legislation is supposed to keep check on the rates that have run rampant in recent years - ex: 39% increase for CA’s Anthem Blue Cross.
