I haven’t been keeping up with it in the last two weeks. First the kids got sick and now I’m just getting over it. I was doing the 30-day challenge and I do really like it and I’m looking forward to starting up again tomorrow. I lost five pounds after only 10 [...]

Health Means Life; Health Means Freedom
by George Lakoff
Life and Freedom are moral issues. It is time for Democrats to talk about health in those terms, beyond just policy terms like health insurance reform, bending the cost curve, types of exchanges, etc.
