Kid's Health

Not doing too well in AmeriKa, even though government says it is.

Cancer death rates tumble for children

"Cancer remains the leading disease-related cause of death for US children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report.

The CDC's Dr. Lori Pollack, in a telephone interview:

"It's not that we're having less cancer diagnosed. The incidence rates, the new-case rates are the same. It's just that we're getting better survival."

Oh, so the kids are STILL GETTING CANCER, but the survival rates are up.

And CUI BONO?

The drug companies, right?

How come they can't cure any diseases, readers?

Ever ask yourself that?

Now the author turns the article into an immigration issue!

Is AmeriKa's MSM something or what!

Hispanics in the United States have not experienced as large a decline in the death rates as other groups, according to the CDC report. Their cancer death rates have declined by an average of 1 percent per year during the 15 years studied.

According to the report: "Studies have documented that Hispanics lack sufficient access to healthcare services because of inadequate health insurance coverage, lack of health insurance, poor geographic access to healthcare providers, lack of transportation to and from providers, and cultural and linguistic barriers, which might contribute to this disparity."

Hey, I'm all for National Health Care -- just don't tie the globalization plan to it, that's all!

There were also regional differences, with cancer death rates falling the least in the West and the most in the Midwest, the CDC said. In addition, boys had significantly higher death rates than girls, the CDC said."

Well, even if their bodies are failing, the kid's will always have their sharp minds, right?

Many Children Struggling After ’05 Storms

"At least 46,600 children along the Gulf Coast are still struggling with mental health problems and other serious aftereffects of 2005 hurricanes, according to a new study by the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University and the Children’s Health Fund.

Many of these children are performing poorly in school and have limited access to medical care, according to the study.

They are children like Nicole D. Riley’s daughter Isis, who is about to turn 4. Her family left New Orleans the day before Hurricane Katrina and moved five times over a short period before ending up in the large government-operated trailer park in Baker, La.

Ms. Riley, of her daughter: "[All those moves] really didn’t sit well with her. When we got out here to the park, she was out of control, out of hand. She was not like that before the storm.”

Because children need stability and order!

Although the uncontrollable temper tantrums have stopped, Ms. Riley said in a telephone interview, Isis remains worrisomely moody, and all three of her children have been suffering from rashes. And they are going to have to move again. The government plans to close the trailer park next spring, and Ms. Riley and her fiancé are already looking for a new place to live.

In New Orleans, one of the biggest problems for children is that their extended families are no longer nearby.

David J. Ward, a health policy analyst and founder of the Louisiana Health Services Recovery Council:

The fabric of the family has splintered. Who is going to take care of the kids after school, or draw them into becoming musicians?

Part of the globalist plan, no doubt!
