SUMMARY:Health Justice- Workers' Rights\, Work Life Balance and Being Good to Yourself
DESCRIPTION:Come to our gathering as we discuss health justice\, or how injustice and lack of action on various social justice issues worsens health outcomes and leads to higher health care costs.  For this month’s gathering\, we will discuss a few interrelated themes\, starting with labor and worker rights\, hostile work environments\, lack of work-life balance\, and its effect on health and health care costs.  Also to be discussed will be rethinking practices at schools and colleges with regard to extreme homework and study overloads\, and extreme busyness either imposed by other means such as city design\, or touted as a status symbol\, and why it is time to change our thinking and planning on this.  In living up to that ‘personal responsibility’ that proponents of our current immoral health care system love to ‘talk the talk’ about\, one of the best ways to really ‘walk the walk’ on this\, along with diet and exercise\, would be to re-evaluate not only our work environments and worker treatment\, but also look at how we can make it both feasible and fashionable to cut down on overwork and time overload from other areas of life.  I will give a brief presentation on these issues\, then open it up to all attendees to share their stories\, thoughts\, input\, suggestions\, etc. \n  \nMeeting will be held at: \nTarka Indian Kitchen\n721 W 19th St.\nHouston\, TX 77008

SUMMARY:Guidance for the Health Care Perplexed
DESCRIPTION:We all know what a huge rip off our health care system is.  But aside from just the extortion level pricing\, the system is rigged so well it is nearly impossible for even a prudent and well informed consumer to navigate and avoid nasty billing surprises.  Just a few examples: You make an effort to go to an in-network hospital and receive one or more out-of-network bills from doctors or other hospital staff\, often for astronomical sums of money\, and were given no warning of such.  You receive over a dozen different bills from one hospital stay in our fragmented system\, and they keep you in limbo for months\, sometimes even a year or longer\, after your procedure/discharge\, not knowing if you will receive another unexpected bill.  It is rare that any medical provider will disclose prices for a procedure\, etc. beforehand\, and often will not make clear whether or not it is covered by insurance.   Come to our gathering\, vent your frustrations\, and tell your horror stories\, or those of a family member or friend\, in dealing with the shenanigans of our health care system\, and then lets discuss how we can fight back.

SUMMARY:Health Care and Workplace Issues
DESCRIPTION:Need more incentive to stand up for better treatment in the workplace and worker’s rights on a wide range of issues?  How about the dismal state of affairs in worker treatment and protections being a major contributing factor to poor health\, including public health and safety\, and higher health care costs.  Discuss how chronic\, costly and often serious health conditions (ie: heart disease\, diabetes\, etc)\, as well as injuries (esp. auto accidents and workplace related) are exacerbated and made more common as a result of lack of worker protections\, lack of paid sick and maternity leave\, overwork and poor work/life balance and hostile work environments.
