He's Still Got It...

Air Jordan should be considered "Oxygen Tank" Jordan now by the ripe age of 50. From one athlete to another I can completely understand the ware and tear on a body especially one played so many seasons at such a high level.

This past February MJ the Royal "Airness" jams out in front of a mob of kids at his Jordan "Flight" School for youth basketball players. Granted he used to dunk on Dikembe Mutumbo and Shawn Bradley with reckless abandon, the dude is 50 and not in NBA shape any more and still gives the crowd a show.

And yes, this is News to Steven...

Call me Al Qaeda but I'm an American that would rather watch disk golf and bad mitten over baseball with their pitching battles that have a 5 hour game ending in a 1-0 final score. I used to only watch ESPN to see if Stuart Scott's eye would ever come to life. Now I enjoy Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless argue over Tiger Woods and Tim Tebow just to avoid MLB highlights on the other two ESPN channels.

Obamacare Stealing Smiles

While its staggering that only 41% of American adults went to the dentist in 2003, it might be only more staggering that the percentage has dropped to 37% in 2010. Why is that?

Many appeals and revisions made it a priority to make sure child heath and dental care was taken care of and as well they should.

Health reform laws require that consumers buy health care plans that cover most everything excluding dental care and therefore excluding the insurers from paying said costs. Very few exceptions would have to involve ER visits for dental emergencies and medically necessary orthodontics procedures.

What happens to the children when they reach adulthood?
Regular dental upkeep and professional care goes in the rear view mirror?

Between 2000-2010 the Emergency Room visits for dental emergencies has doubled from one to two million. Ten years is along time to see steady increase but a blatant doubled increase is ridiculous and even more ridiculous considering the technical advances within those ten years.

HHS spokespeople promise a future health care package that will couple health and dental care more affordable for children that will parlay smoothly into adulthood. Enter Obamacare...
