Very interesting observations.
AIDS saw to it that health concerns were forever politicized.
HPV is spread by men and women. Men and women get cancer from HPV. Some states have seen fit to mandate that all girls get the HPV vaccine.
Divide and conquer.
The AHA and the medical establishment will tell you that this heart disease is a lifestyle disease. They won’t say the same about AIDS, though.
The AHA is probably positioning to squawk for donations from the latest widows who lost their husbands to heart disease.
Ha, this person hasn’t been to many nursing homes lately.
Trust me: you don’t have to be nearly old enough to expire due to heart disease before your loving family is willing to file you away in one of these hellholes.
Men sure don’t have it easy.
Spousal IRAs.
“Men dying of heart disease, womyn and children hardest hit.”
And that is why 20 year level TERM life insurance is a MUST. Get between 5 and 10 times your annual income (preferrably 10 times). A non-smoker 30 years old can get $500,000 for less than $30 a month. Stay away from whole life. It's a rip off.
I always thought the 5 year difference was a reward from God ;-).
Thats why I married a fellow five years my junior.
Shouldn’t be hard to figure out. Let the guys die first. When the women go into the nursing homes, the homes can take all the money. I sorta went through this with my mother. My father died first. A couple of years later, my mother had to have bypass surgery and had a stroke. She went to a nursing home for recovery and they said she would never come out. We moved her out and she finally died at home where she belonged. She was happy, we had her around for awile longer. It wasn’t easy but she sure gave us a lot of good memories. Oh.....by the way....the nursing home didn’t get all her money.
From what I understand, the conversation at the hospital while he was gone was pretty funny.
"We lost Mr. Cook!"
"He's dead? Why wasn't I notified when he went into arrest?"
"No! We lost him. We don't know where he is!"
Dad didn't mind being buried in a box as much as he objected to living in one. He lived as he wanted, and died younger than he could have. Many men would rather have the cigarette and the red meat and die at 60 than sit in the corner be a good boy.
You know ... the one where they toss in the wife, horse, swords, etc. etc.?
I used to work for the AHA at the Nat’l HQ and I can attest that they are a very highly PC group with a feminist and gay agenda that would shock many progressives in its stridency. The AHA does not tell you the first signs of heart disease for most people is sudden death.
Because it if primarily men who suffer from heart disease, the majority of the funding for heard disease research is already going to help men.
It's not the AHA's fault that more men die from heart disease than women any more than it is the fault of groups fighting breast cancer that more women die from breast cancer than men.
The Go Red for Women program is probably the result of Women who are active in supporting Heart Disease awareness feeling like women get left out because most of the generalized programs end up concentrating on men.
The American Heart Association doesn't cause heart disease.
They aren't at fault when men die from heard disease before women.
It doesn't matter how much good some organization does, there will always be those out there that blame them simply because they aren't able to solve every problem.
The Scriptures say that a man who does not provide for his family is worse than an infidel. So it is the responsibility of every man to provide for his wife and children even in the possibility of his death.
Dave Ramsey is right!
1) Get the Will! Don't let the courts and the lawyers get your money instead of your wife and kids.
2) Get a Living will. Same reason as #1
3) Get Life Insurance! If you don't have enough in the bank to take care of your wife (even into her old age) and young kids to adulthood, Life Insurance is a MUST!
4) Save for Retirement! Who believes Social Security will be around in 20 years. Most companies do not give Pensions anymore. If your not getting your companies matching 401k/Roth funds - you are a FOOL! If your company doesn't have a 401k/Roth and you don't have one, Open one at a bank/credit union Today! Make Regular or AUTOMATIC DEPOSITS.
5) Save for Kids College. If you have kids under 10, open a savings or other account for each child with Regular or Automatic Deposits. If you have a kid over 10 and you don't have anything saved! STEP ON IT! Your time is short.
Women, smile at the man and ask him if he loves you in these 5 things. Keep doing that until he does them.
It’s a free country.... But I would bet that your wife might not like being tossed on your funeral pyre.
According to Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taube, which I find as one of the most brilliant books that I have read, heart disease is almost entirely a function of carbodyrate consumption. I guess if you take it seriously, the problem must be with more carbs for the men.
