Post image for Too Much Plastic Surgery?

Many people either cringe or squeal when they hear the term, ‘The Hills,” or the name Heidi Montag. As some may know from watching the news earlier this year she has come out of her cocoon revealing a tweaked, mannequin looking, new self.

According to abcnews.com, Heidi had 10 procedures performed in 10 hours including breast enlargements, chin reduction, nose job, ears pinned back, lipo, brow lift, etc. At 23 years old most would think these actions are quite extreme especially for a beautiful girl who looked just fine with the skin she was given. Now critics have been accusing Montag of addiction but she begs to differ, “I think I just look like a different, improved version of myself,” she said.

Post image for California May Have to Move Forward On Healthcare Reform on Its Own

Experts say California might have to go solo on extending healthcare coverage to the millions of uninsured Californians because “the future of federal overhaul efforts appears uncertain,” reports California Healthline. Nearly 7 million people are uninsured in California, and about the same amount of people are enrolled in the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal. “Although federal health care reform could extend coverage to more Californians, it also could burden the cash-strapped state with additional Medi-Cal costs,” states California Healthline.

Post image for New Moms: Beware of Dangerous Nipple Cream

According to the Food and Drug Administration Mommy’s Bliss Nipple Cream should not be used by new moms. FDA warns customers that this cream encompasses ingredients that may harm nursing babies.

FDA alerted WebMD.com that mothers and caregivers need to seek immediate medical attention if these strange symptoms: loss of appetite, trouble in waking the baby, limp arms or legs, weak grip strength or discoloration of skin occur.

Two ingredients that seem to be causing a lot of problems with respitory issues are: chlorphensein and phenoxyethanol. Chlorphenesin relaxes skeletal muscle and can slow the central nervous system and cause respiratory depression in infants. Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that’s mainly used in make up and medications- it can lower the central nervous system, cause vomiting, diarrhea and lead to dehydration.

State lawmakers, especially California, are worried about the increased costs of the proposed expansion of Medicaid.
