Citrus. Since I started eating a lot of oranges, which I love, I very rarely get sick. I haven't had health coverage for about 15 years. Look for a free clinic in your area if you really need it. Avoid the emergency room unless it's life or death, otherwise it's an expensive waste of money.


Don't eat alot of oranges. They are very acidic and will destroy your tooth enamel. If you don't have coverage though, you'll have to pay a penalty starting in 2014. Individuals only have to pay about $95. So you can try to free ride the system, but the individual mandate is a major step to universal coverage.

 

Of coarse, I would love to see an NHS style system in the US. Universal healthcare is the modern, first-world solution to a healthy populace. America is still stuck in the 20th century. Although lol, systems like the NHS were created in the 20th century! America definitely having to play catch-up.

America: #1 Wind Power generator on Earth!!!!
