March 4, 2010 Hemorrhoids No Comments

Hemorrhoids, haemorrhoids, emerods, or piles are swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. The anatomical term “hemorrhoids” technically refers to “‘Cushions of tissue filled with blood vessels at the junction of the rectum and the anus.” However, the term is popularly used to refer to varicosities of the hemorrhoid tissue.

Aged Care Nurses Suffer Almost 5 Times More Pay Disparity Than Other Women Workers In Australia

March 19, 2010

The aged care workforce – comprised of 98% women workers – is one of the most unfairly remunerated in Australia.

ObamaCare, Abortion and the Reagan Democrats

March 19, 2010

How will the national drama over President Barack Obama’s health care reform conclude? The views of a number of Midwest House Democrats on the issue of abortion may be the deciding factor.

There are historical roots for this phenomenon. In the 1970s, when the… Continue reading

The Changing Status Quo On Federal Abortion Funding

March 19, 2010

In an attempt to keep health reform from being torpedoed by the ever-contentious topic of abortion, advocates and opponents of abortion rights were expected to agree that legislation would preserve the “status quo” on abortion law and not be used to advance or restrict abortion rights. Unfortunately, fights erupted over different definitions of the status quo and how to apply it to a reformed health insurance system, and the health care debate quickly became embroiled in abortion politics anyway.
