Regardless of which way you lean politically, the fact is that there’s something that all seniors… and everyone really… in the U.S. should be thinking about right now, more than ever before.

Your health!

That’s right, if you haven’t been paying attention lately, the health care bill that might (or shall I say, will likely) get passed may not be…shall we say…great for the older people in this country.

Here are some very strong reasons why:

“PG 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Government provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in death!”

“PG 427 Lines 15-24 Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The Government has a say in how your life ends!”

“Pg 429 Lines 1-9 An “adv. care planning consult” will be used frequently as patients health deteriorates.”
“PG 429 Lines 10-12 “adv. care consultation” may include an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from GOVERNMENT!!!”

“Pg 429 Lines 13-25 – The government will specify which Doctors can write an end of life order.”

“PG 430 Lines 11-15 The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.”

Now I’m not going to tell you to call your senators or congress men and women. I’m not going to tell you what you should think of this proposal, nothing like that!

Elected “Better Sleep Month” by the Better Sleep Council, this May is the official month to improve all areas of our sleeping lives. Though many don’t realize it, getting a good night’s sleep is vital to our ability to function properly throughout the day. Lack of sleep or interrupted sleep can eventually lead to deterioration of the body and mind. Children, teenagers, adults, and seniors can all suffer the consequences of a poor sleeping pattern. Therefore, it’s important to assess your sleep on a regular basis, and take the right steps toward consistently obtaining better rest.

As we grow older our schedules change and our sleep patterns modify along with them. Because of this reason, seniors are very susceptible to sleep disorders. Since May is “Better Sleep Month”, many senior service groups are promoting senior health care and better sleep by doing their part to inform seniors about the intrinsic risks of deprived sleep, and how to develop an effective sleep plan.
