As Baby Boomers Age, Will There Be Insurance for Them?
Wed, 08/06/2008 - 15:20A big question has popped up in people's minds as the economy has continued to deteriorate. What is going to happen as the baby boomers start to retire and age and begin to need to get affordable health insurance? Is it going to be available? And if it is, is it going to be affordable?
The truth of the matter is simple: trying to find the best life insurance and health insurance is becoming much harder as the years go on and more people are needing it. Ten years ago, the economy was strong and people were able to get very good insurance without having to spend an arm and a leg. These days, though, that's not the case. People are having to spend so much money just to get insurance.
So people want action. People are arguing with the government to try and get better insurance for people. But in a capitalistic nation, is it possible? If the economy continues to go in the way it is and companies become more stingy with who they insure, you can bet that there will be an ever increasing number of uninsured people as the baby boomers hit their senior years. What can be done? No one knows right now.

Is HGH the Fountain of Youth?
Wed, 08/06/2008 - 14:32For some time now, scientists have known about the real benefits of HGH (human growth hormone). They knew about it, but they didn't know what exactly it could do. HGH now is getting the name 'the fountain of youth' because of a study conducted by scientists that suggests that if elderly people take HGH, the aging process might reverse.
What the researchers found was, when conducting this experiment on twelve elderly men, when they were administered with HGH, bone density increased, muscles grew again, fat deteriorated, and they found that ten to twenty years of their lives had been knocked off. So, if a man was eighty, his body was now that of a sixty year old.
Naturally, though, people are in uproar about HGH. Should humans really reverse the aging process? Isn't it just a part of life? Some say no. Some say that aging is a disease and that it needs to be beaten. Others, though, say that aging is simply a part of life and that when people die, that's that. Whether or not HGH will ever hit the market, though, as an anti-aging regimen isn't known. But the question remains: could HGH be the fountain of youth?
