One Boomer's Thought On This Health Care Harangue

I think it can all be summed up with one statement, “enough already”. It is about time for all the parties involved to shut their pie holes and stop with the lies and exaggerations. It serves no purpose other than to further polarize the factions and the nation. There comes a point that with all the rancor and distortions, too much damage is done and neither party involved can walk back from the brink. I will take no sides in this childish fight other than to say if you had acted like this as a… Continue

Technology to "AGE RESPONSIBLY". Smart People use Smart Technology!

Technology can enhance the way we live today. We use technology in almost everything we do. If you drove to work today, you already used a computer (car).

A Real Solution to the Health Care Crisis

Instead, they spread fear by telling us we can't afford the cost of a national health care initiative and that it will bankrupt our future.… Continue

Our senior population will rely more and more on mobility aids to Age-in-Place. After an injury or surgery and during rehabilitation assistive devices will play a role in recovery.
