Economic Takeover

As most of America knows by now the House of Representatives passed the health care bill thanks in part to some Republicans. The bill just now has to pass the Senate in order to be made part of the laws and guidelines of America. 
Now health care reform is a great part of America if we were a socialist country but we are still a representative democracy. But with Obama getting elected as president, America is on the verge of becoming a socialist country. Now Obama has wanted to change quite a bit in America while he is in office and one of them was health care. He seems to finally be getting his way but the more and more things that the government takes over the less power the people of America actually have. When people are having to wait in line in the office compared to today where you can just call and get an appointment that same day, most people will not have the same benefits and have to pay more out of pocket. 
Most people would be shock of having to pay half of their costs because of the bill but that is what appears to be happening.
With the government taking over parts of the economy it will only be a matter of time before America is no longer a democracy but rather a socialist country. 
If people are just willing to let their senators know their opinion then there might still be a chance to save what is left of America.

Biking

As the weather changes more and more people will be moving indoors to workout while others may just give up entirely. This season is a little bit different.
The weather in central Kansas has taken a change this year. With summer spring like temperatures more and more people are walking or biking outside. This is one of the better aspects of Arkansas City because of the many parks in the area where you can walk, jog or even bike. With the weather holding out like this more and more people should take advantage of the outdoors.
With obesity on the rise the more people that just take 30 minutes out of their schedule the greater the results will be on weight loss. People that stay active and eat a healthy lifestyle can ensure that they will live to a ripe old age regarding their family history.
The more people that partake in a active lifestyle the better off people will be. Studies have shown that people that exercise even a little each day have more energy and restful night sleep.
