- 31 cents of every American dollar goes towards preventable medical expenses. According to a Harvard study, re-presented to me this morning,
- Medical emergencies represent more than 50% of the causal factors for BANKRUPTCY!
Healthcare, or lack thereof, has national ecomomic, health, social, and spiritual implications and must be at the forefront of consideration in this year's elections. Regardless of what area of concern you wish to focus, it is clear that STAYING FIT is in large part the answer. Come on folks - If you don't need to buy prescription meds, insurance dependancy is null! If you don't have medical emergencies, visiting the emergency room and incurring a huge debt (our current national healthcare plan), would be unecessary. If you don't have the dominant chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, you are not only insurable at lower rates, but your need for insurance decreases.
So how does this government dilenmma for healthcare administration relate to Samsons Health and Fitness Center? WE are the PREVENTIVE MECHANISM for all of the previously stated diseases. If government is serious about a CURE, we must consider promoting, incentivecising, (my word), and edifying community exercise, nutrition, fitness progams and education.
Finally, we must also get serious about the spiritual aspects of preventive healthcare. Mind over matter, rebuking illness in the name of Jesus, and healing through prayer are irrefutable methods even agnostic medical doctors believe in. They are the marks of putting on the full armour of God and we must teach these weapons against illness. I can't tell you how many times the Lord has helped me avoid illness by scripture recitation while exercising or meditating. What we cannot do alone, we can do with God!
Exercise your VOTE! We can do it and God will sort the wheat from the chaff.
Cross Train for Fitness!

As someone who works in the healthcare industry, I can truly attest that prevention is certainly better than cure. Even with insurance coverage, many individuals are realizing with the increase in the cost of healthcare, it is still far cheaper to put into place "preventive mechanism", such as becoming a member of a health club. God said in His words that we perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Let us, therefore, do all we can to find out how we can live in optimum health. After all, this is the age of information.
