I was wander in space and ran across this link. It may be biased, it may not be, all I know is that it is an opinion of NPR and it got me thinking.

I'm still for fixing a system that does not fit everyone, but I don't want to go down the path of the "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" education model. No child left behind only helps the slowest kids in the class. The brightest are left wondering when the next lesson will start but are left waiting for the least common demoinator to catch up. I've had many conversations with many school district personnel about this and most agree - the bright kids are suffering so the others can catch up. I don't want healthcare that will punish (lower quality service, less choice in coverage options) the ones with coverage in order to get everyone covered. There has to be a solution to get the lagging population within the covered circle.
I enjoy going to my chiropractor and paying him out of pocket because my insurace won't cover his services. Really I do, no sarcasm. It's my choice and I like him - he treats me and I feel better that before the treatment. I know a MD would take an X-ray or give me Pain Pills for the soreness I feel after a good run. I little manipulation and muscle stimulation and I am good to go. I have gotten recipes from him for soup, stretching exercises, saturday walk-ins, etc. If you live in Phoenix and are looking for an honest Chiropractor click here.
