If you don't have an annual total body skin cancer check it's time to start, the earlier you catch it the more curable it becomes. At least do a self check which you c...

ANOTHER HOSPITAL PRICE TRANSPARENCY BILL IS BEING SIGNED TODAY You may not know that Colorado passed a bill preventing hospitals from dinging your credit or using the Colorado court system to collect if they aren't fully compliant with the Trump hospital transparency rules.

PRE-ADDICTION IS WHEN IT'S TIME TO STEP IN The concept of "pre-addiction" is new to me, but the actuality is not. I know I've had friends that I watched move into addiction but I was ill-equipped to do anything to help. Pre-addiction is real. It's before someone hits the so-called "rock bottom" but either the person involved with substances (alcohol or drugs) knows it's taking over, or a family member or friend recognizes it. And t...

TIRED OF THE FIGHTING OF THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM? The group who started the No Labels Party sure are. They started in 2010 with an idea that they could solve problems that our current two party system wasn't solving. To be honest, I do not like a LOT of their ideas.
