Digital Portals May Widen Health Disparities

Despite GOP insistence that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been a disaster for the American people, the reality is quite different. Far from perfect, the ACA has delivered health coverage to 20 million more Americans, many of them low-income people of color. Further, efforts were made to reduce health disparities. A critical tool intended […]

The Repeal Attempt That Won’t Die

Just when you thought your health insurance was safe. The Senate failed to pass a plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act—their attempts at “replacements” were too pathetic to even qualify as such. Many Republican senators have seemingly thrown in the towel. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has declared that it’s time to move on from […]

Report: Mediterranean Diet Doesn’t Work for the Poor

We’ve long heard that the Mediterranean Diet is how all of us should eat. The diet, inspired by the coastal cuisine of countries like Greece, Italy and southern France, is characterized by its abundant portions of fruits and vegetables, frequent meals of fish and poultry, use of olive oil and spices for seasoning, and red […]

Black Americans Get Less Sleep, More Health Problems

Black Americans get almost one hour less of sleep a night than white Americans, according to a recent study by Auburn University researchers. And this may account for disparities in health between the races. The study will appear in an upcoming edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the official journal of […]

Ruling Complicates Threat to Cut Off Funds for Obamacare

President Donald Trump’s bold threat to push “Obamacare” into collapse may get harder to carry out after a new court ruling. The procedural decision late Tuesday by a federal appeals panel in Washington has implications for millions of consumers. The judges said that a group of states can defend the legality of government “cost-sharing” subsidies […]

Study: Exposure to Violence Increases Obesity Risk in Teens

Teens consumed more unhealthy foods and beverages on days they were exposed to violence, and suffered from fatigue due to poor sleep the next day, according to a new study by Duke researchers. Those behaviors, especially increased soda consumption, are important predictors of weight gain. More than 20 percent of U.S. adolescents are classified as […]

Churches Spread Alzheimer’s Awareness

The church choir in bright blue robes swayed and testified on a hot summer Sunday. Pastor Anthony Everett, in his own robe of orange and brown, preached to his “saints” of Wesley United Methodist Church and they called back their approval with a staggered chorus of “Amen!” But this Sunday, Memory Sunday, was different. Half […]

OK, Now Fix it

After falling one senator shy on an irresponsible, thrown-together plan cynically branded “skinny repeal” of the Affordable Care Act — thanks, John McCain — Senate Republicans have a fateful choice. They can finally meet the outstretched hand of Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and get to work on real-world, bipartisan fixes to the law, which, though […]
