I find it incredible that a country as developed does not have minimum medical services. I live in Ibiza, Spain. Everyone here is entitled to medical care. This service is part of our salary we pay. Maybe not sick, but I am calm when I think that other patients can be cured thanks to my salary and that of others.

I think that the regulation has to be transformed in such way, that people who harm their health by doing things that are not healthy, like smoking, should pay more for the costs. I think that this an important issue. For example, people who smoke make up 2 or 3 times of the costs, than people who do not smoke.

I'm completely in favor of government health care paying for abortions. Despite the views of the right to life crowd, the majority of fetuses that are terminated (or babies that are killed, if you prefer) would otherwise be born into families that neither want them nor can afford them. They are likely to become an immediate drain on the welfare system, will probably end up in schools that are overcrowded, where they will represent just one more bored student taking time from students who might want to learn, may very well end up in jail, where tax dollars will continue to support them. Is this a generalization? Of course. Is this result guaranteed? No, a percentage of them will turn out okay. But I don't mind losing 20% of potentially productive citizens if it means losing 80% of potential drains on the system. I wonder how many millions of dollars abortions save the country over a single lifespan. Johnny, how to get pregnant

No. 6 point has a lot to do with knowledge of health care.
The individual health insurance market is presently the main option for people who can't get insurance coverage through a government program.
Individual market is total different from the Employer-sponsored coverage. I found out this point more important than other 9 points.

Suicide = pathetic?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 02/14/2010 - 08:16.
Glad your life is so swell cause I have friends who are coping with some pretty tough crap and it's not their fault. Let me ask you this if you were being molested by your dad and felt helpless---what would you do. Suicide may seem like the easy way out, I'm not saying that's what should happen but, don't call people pathetic especially when you don't know what they've been thru.

If I were in that situation...I would consult to people who could help me. Grant it, this response is typical. All i know is that suicide is not the right way to go.

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 02/13/2010 - 19:07.
Myia---I think you fail to realize that for many people committing suicide is not about feeling pathetic towards life…often it’s the final result of serious mental problems and for teens it’s depression.
You should feel blessed not to know what that’s like. Imagine how a parent of a youth dead by suicide feels hearing your youth radio piece and spewing a blanket generalization about a subject you obviously didn’t research before writing.
How do you know the young lady didn’t believe in a higher power…understand everyone in your generation doesn’t lead a Disney life.
Think of all your counterparts that are bullied and chose suicide as a release.
I know of a young man that recently took his life because of an abusive environment.
He had a lot of potential but I didn’t know of his situation. He might have been fearful but not pathetic. Shame on you, youth radio and WABE in Atlanta for airing your insensitive remarks.
I hope you grow to understand suicide while you’re living it up and pursuing a college education.
Brooke (and the many voices that have been silenced by suicide)

Many psychiatric drugs have black box warnings regarding suicidal thoughts and actions. What kid would consider taking his life in such a heinous manner? Look for the psychiatric drug connection.
Just last month in Santa Cruz a man lit himself on fire and died. He was on two powerful psychiatric drugs.

see my comment "kids killing kids". when you're 14 and think you have no future you live in the present. right and wrong don't mean much. if you can learn any skills that will earn you money (that are legal) you can start having a future. the skill set I am talking about is seamanship. going to sea (legally) has been a way out for many a troubled youth for a long time. the environment on the ship or boat is very disciplined (like prison) and the simple routines are reassuring to kids yearning to be adults. As the future arrives and you get time off, the pay allows you to enjoy the present (legally).

Programs
The goals of Youth Radio’s Health Department are to:
- Provide culturally competent and relevant health information and education;
- Empower youth, staff and their communities to incorporate health and wellness activities in their daily lives;
- Work collaboratively with community partners to address health disparities affecting youth and their communities;
- Create viable career pathways for Youth Radio participants in the health fields;
- Efficiently utilize our media competencies to distribute health promotion messages, education, advocacy and information to influence large-scale behavior and policy changes.
We accomplish these goals through the following programs:
Community Health Education
Community health focuses on geographic regions rather than shared characteristics, such as race or gender. The goal of YR’s Community Health Education is to address the health issues affecting Oakland and the greater Bay Area, as well as building bridges among all of the community members to find common ground to address health inequities among youth. We utilize converged media as a primary tool to reach to the community.
Peer Health Education
Peer Health Education at Youth Radio utilizes a peer-to-peer knowledge transfer, embedded in a cascading mentorship model of learning which involves key community partners including high schools in Oakland and Berkeley and organizations such as the Family Violence Law Center, that address public health issues. Peer health educators are trained in behavioral change strategies and facilitation skills. They provide workshops on issues such as teen dating violence and HIV/AIDS prevention to Youth Radio participants and youth in off site schools and programs.
Healthy Food Production
Youth Radio does healthy food production in two ways: a healthy snacks program and media asset creation. Interns prepare healthy snacks and a Friday night dinner for all youth in the education program. The goal of this portion of this program is not only to provide healthy food for our participants while engaged in learning, but to integrate food and nutrition themes into the classes themselves to drive healthy individual decision making. Youth Radio Eats is a food journal produced by Youth Radio interns, who work hands-on to make healthy and delicious food, research community food related actions, and explore and produce information about food from a youth perspective. Youth Radio also works with community partners such as the HOPE Collaborative to provide advocacy, drive policy change and create lasting community changes around how the environment influences healthy lifestyles.
Social Messaging
Social messaging focuses on health promotion messages and education created for youth, by youth. Media assets include video, text, print, radio and Web 2.0. Through generous support from the Blue Shield of California Foundation, Youth Radio is leading a statewide campaign - Boss of Me to address the issue of teen dating violence. In addition to BOM, Youth Radio receives requests from schools and community agencies to create their media messages promoting health and wellness among youth.
Case Management/Therapy
In order to support all Youth Radio participants in meeting their goals and achieving their full potential, we offer case management and therapy services to all youth aged 14-24. On-site case managers are available for youth during program hours to assist with issues ranging from educational advocacy to referrals to external supportive services. Currently our therapy services are limited to 10 participants per year, using a brief therapy model. We are currently working with educational institutions in the area to collaborate to increase our capacity to serve more youth in therapy.
