One Must Believe In What One Can Do And Only One Can Make The Choices That Could Change Our Lives Forever
Make a difference in your life go and at least take the time to look at this website over it will be the best few minutes of your life.
I’ve often been asked what makes one person succeed, get rich,
and live a good life, while another person with the same knowledge
and information gets nowhere… Or takes forever. Go here and take a look that is all I ask take a look and leave me your comments.
http://www.tviexpress.com/santini1What is life people that is a question I get asked every day and what I say life is what you as an individual. Life and choices are what we make but the choices we make is what will make the person . Life bring challenges into our lives because of the choices we make daily. Sometimes we can make some awful choices and then the consequences that come next are but the aftermath of the previous choices we made. I tell people that one must take a look at what and who we are really closely and control our thoughts and not let our thoughts control us.
From The New York Times; Here some important news on the cost of health reform.
Editorial
Reform and Medical CostsAmericans are deeply concerned about the relentless rise in health care costs and health insurance premiums. They need to know if reform will help solve the problem. The answer is that no one has an easy fix for rising medical costs. The fundamental fix — reshaping how care is delivered and how doctors are paid in a wasteful, dysfunctional system — is likely to be achieved only through trial and error and incremental gains.
The good news is that the bill just approved by the House and a bill approved by the Senate Finance Committee would implement or test many reforms that should help slow the rise in medical costs over the long term. As a report in The New England Journal of Medicine concluded, “Pretty much every proposed innovation found in the health policy literature these days is encapsulated in these measures.”Medical spending, which typically rises faster than wages and the overall economy, is propelled by two things: the high prices charged for medical services in this country and the volume of unnecessary care delivered by doctors and hospitals, which often perform a lot more tests and treatments than a patient really needs.
Here are some of the important proposals in the House and Senate bills to try to address those problems, and why it is hard to know how well they will work:
FORCED PRODUCTIVITY GAINS Both bills would reduce the rate of growth in annual Medicare payments to hospitals, nursing homes and other providers by amounts comparable to the productivity savings routinely made in other industries with the help of new technologies and new ways to organize work. This proposal could save Medicare more than $100 billion over the next decade. If private plans demanded similar productivity savings from providers, and refused to let providers shift additional costs to them, the savings could be much larger.
Critics say Congress will give in to lobbyists and let inefficient providers off the hook. That is far less likely to happen if Congress also adopts strong “pay-go” rules requiring that any increase in payments to providers be offset by new taxes or budget cuts.
CADILLAC COVERAGE The Senate Finance bill would impose an excise tax on health insurance plans that cost more than $8,000 for an individual or $21,000 for a family. It would most likely cause insurers to redesign plans to fall beneath the threshold. Enrollees would have to pay more money for many services out of their own pockets, and that would encourage them to think twice about whether an expensive or redundant test was worth it. Economists project that most employers would shift money from expensive health benefits into wages. The House bill has no similar tax. The final legislation should.
SIMPLIFIED FORMS Any doctor who has wrestled with multiple forms from different insurers, or patients who have tried to understand their own parade of statements, know that simplification ought to save money. When the health insurance industry was still cooperating in reform efforts, its trade group offered to provide standardized forms for automated processing. It estimated that step would save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade. The bills would lock that pledge into law.
ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS The stimulus package provided money to convert the inefficient, paper-driven medical system to electronic records that can be easily viewed and transmitted. This requires upfront investments to help doctors convert. In time it should help restrain costs by eliminating redundant tests, preventing drug interactions, and helping doctors find the best treatments.
REFORM OF THE DELIVERY SYSTEM Virtually all experts agree that the fee-for-service system — doctors are rewarded for the quantity of care rather than its quality or effectiveness — is a primary reason that the cost of care is so high. Most agree that the solution is to push doctors to accept fixed payments to care for a particular illness or for a patient’s needs over a year. No one knows how to make that happen quickly.
The bills in both houses would start pilot projects within Medicare. They include such measures as accountable care organizations to take charge of a patient’s needs with an eye on both cost and quality, and chronic disease management to make sure the seriously ill, who are responsible for the bulk of all health care costs, are treated properly. For the most part, these experiments rely on incentive payments to get doctors to try them.
INDEPENDENT COMMISSION Testing innovations do no good unless the good experiments are identified and expanded and the bad ones are dropped. The Senate bill would create an independent commission to monitor the pilot programs and recommend changes in Medicare’s payment policies to prod providers to adopt reforms that work. The changes would have to be approved or rejected as a whole by Congress, making it hard for narrow- interest lobbies to bend lawmakers to their will.
MANAGED COMPETITION The bills in both chambers would create health insurance exchanges on which small businesses and individuals could choose from an array of private plans and possibly a public option. All the plans would have to provide standard benefit packages that would be easy to compare. To get access to millions of new customers, insurers would have a strong incentive to sell on the exchange. And the head-to-head competition might give them a strong incentive to lower their prices, perhaps by accepting slimmer profit margins or demanding better deals from providers.
A PUBLIC PLAN The final legislation might throw a public plan into the competition, but thanks to the fierce opposition of the insurance industry and Republican critics, it might not save much money. The one in the House bill would have to negotiate rates with providers, rather than using Medicare rates, as many reformers wanted.
COMPARING TREATMENTS The president’s stimulus package is pumping money into research to compare how well various treatments work. Is surgery, radiation or careful monitoring best for prostate cancer? Is the latest and most expensive cholesterol-lowering drug any better than its generic competitors? The pending bills would spend additional money to accelerate this effort.
Critics have charged that this sensible idea would lead to rationing of care. (That would be true only if you believed that patients should have an unbridled right to treatments proven to be inferior.) As a result, the bills do not require, as they should, that the results of these studies be used to set payment rates in Medicare.
Congress needs to find the courage to allow Medicare to pay preferentially for treatments proven to be superior. Sometimes the best treatment might be the most expensive. But over all, we suspect that spending would come down through elimination of a lot of unnecessary or even dangerous tests and treatments.
NEGOTIATING DRUG PRICES The House bill would authorize the secretary of health and human services to negotiate drug prices in Medicare and Medicaid. Some authoritative analysts doubt that the secretary would get better deals than private insurers already get. We believe negotiation could work. It does in other countries.
MALPRACTICE REFORM Missing from these bills is any serious attempt to rein in malpractice costs. (Trial lawyers, major supporters of the Democratic Party, have seen to that.) Malpractice awards do drive up insurance premiums for doctors in high-risk specialties, and there is some evidence that doctors engage in “defensive medicine” by performing tests and treatments primarily to prove they are not negligent should they get sued.
Patients who are injured because of a doctor’s or a hospital’s negligence must have recourse. We favor reforms that would try to compensate injured people fairly and promptly — perhaps through mediation or expert tribunals — but would not prevent them from filing suit as a last resort or cap the awards they could receive. Even then, the savings might be modest. Doctors mostly perform high-cost tests because they want to help their patients and get paid handsomely for doing so.
Republican critics say, correctly, that the health care bills would saddle the government with large new costs to cover the uninsured by expanding Medicaid and providing subsidies to help low- and middle-income people buy insurance. And they say, incorrectly, that the effort should not move ahead until a sure-fire way is found to rein in rising health care costs.
Their arguments overlook the fact that the government is already paying many of these costs, through special payments to hospitals, each time a person without insurance, and with no means to pay, goes to an expensive emergency room for treatment. It also overlooks the fact that both bills are designed to keep deficits from increasing over the next decade or two.
It would be unfair, and unnecessary, to leave tens of millions of people uninsured while we wait to figure out ways to hold down the rise in health care costs.
This editorial is a part of a continuing series by The Times that is providing a comprehensive examination of the policy challenges and politics behind the debate over health care reform.

You have within you an amazing power that can bring about miraculous outcomes. The power that you have has been known to cure incurable diseases, build billion dollar empires, paint masterpieces, create great sports dynasties, and build lifestyles with abundance, great friends and loving families.
The light switch that turns all this power on is visualization. We all use visualization either consciously or unconsciously. The people who systematically and consciously use visualization in their daily lives create amazing success. While many successes are more wonderful than big, some accomplishments are so great the individuals with the vision seem to be head and shoulders above the rest of us. They are the super athletes like Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods, businessmen like Walt Disney, the super rich, top entertainers and almost anyone you can think of who has created an exceptional life. Visualization is such a powerful tool it really pays to exercise the skill to visualize as part of our daily routine.
Visualization is a process of giving directions to the unconscious mind. It is estimated that 90 percent of our minds are unconscious. When we visualize we say to the unconscious “Here is what I want to happen”. The unconscious then sends back to our consciousness ideas and inspirations necessary to make our instructions a reality.
It seems like magic, when your visualization, like prayer, activates the Law Of Attraction. In totally unexplained, seemingly accidental, or coincidental ways you attract the right situation, people, and any needed resources. Most really successful people will tell you they worked hard but they were very lucky or fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.
How do you get started?
You can just start where you are, but first let’s look at some do’s and do not’s. Visualization of your dreams should be fun and never a chore. It should not be a routine or emotionally bland. This is a feeling universe, and the more emotion you can put into the experience the better. It is a very a light hearted, peaceful and happy exercise. After all it is your dream and you can make it whatever you like. Remember the more you practice the easier it gets.
Keep in mind that visualization is very powerful and you should never visualize what you do not want, because you will get whatever you focus on: good or bad.
While you are visualizing your dreams keep it light and playful. Practice using all your emotions during each session. As you run your mind movie, just jump into it and be there in the present as you feel the breeze or temperature, smell the flowers or salty air, hear the sounds, feel the warm sun, see the people enjoying themselves etc. etc.
The reason I get excited about this topic has everything to do with living because of it. I am going to share with you an example of how visualization worked in a real live health goal.
I had two usually fatal diseases and my goal was to get well. My guide asked me to imagine what my problem looked like. (If you have a health problem just let your imagination run wild, you might think you have a pac man character that is eating your problem or see sharks swimming in your bloodstreams and eating the bad stuff.)
At first I just couldn’t see what my problems look like. Then it just came to me that I had been fighting a great, fire breathing, flying, dragon. Once I knew how it looked, I decided I needed a weapon to fight with. In my movie, I imagined a light saber from the star wars movie as my weapon. As I would start my visualization the dragon would swoop down and I would just leap on its back and imagine I had a harness holding me on. It would be a wild ride and sometimes the dragon would land on a mountain top and I would realize if I killed it there I would have a long walk home. It was usually wild fighting, serious but fun.
I could feel the wind when we flew and the heat when he breathed fire. Of course after a few fights I saw myself killing the dragon. It was an intense fight and killing the dragon gave me a real emotional charge and in my heart I just knew the diseases were gone and my body was now healing itself.
Visualizations after the kill involved friends and me raking the ground that was kicked up during the fight. This was my vision and after I killed the dragon I felt I needed to tell everyone that I had fought and won.
I bought toy dragons and cut their heads off and put them all over the house and everyone joined in and we all knew I had killed my dragon. Everyone in my family always pointed out the headless dragons to visitors.
Deciding what you want to visualize.
This process is not limited to getting healthy. It works on weight loss, finding your truth love, creating wealth, getting promoted, etc. Once you realize that whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve is really true, what you desire is at your fingertips.
