A New Bill to increase doctors in Texas?

Since Texas considered as a huge state within approximately million of people living there, there is a concern risen. The state has about 254 counties and about 114 cannot meet the national standard for one doctor for every 3,500 people. Meaning along the border or in country-farm land, there is not much doctors around, only most doctors available in rural and incities.

So right now in this article, the legislatures and state representative are working on this and perhap making a new bill. They are also focusing on reffering to clients to young, attractive doctors. The Legislatives encouraging the young doctors to open their practices along the border and/or the country areas as well.

The young doctors who just graduated with a big debt of loan to pay off, wanting to work and find a job to pay off their loans. Mostly the young doctors are in the most population areas such as incities and rural areas. There are not much doctors near the border or in country area since not much populations there. For those young doctors, I understand they need the job bad to pay off the loan debts since the economy is bad. I would do the same thing but at the same time, we the people need to focus on the people's health. We cannot just abandon their health and focus on the economy.

I do believe that Texans should be and should do this by opening the offices for doctors and among other medical field along the borders and in country areas. That way, it shows they are paying attention and cares of people's health. It may or may not boost their income of paying off their college debts.

Anti-Trans Fat Bill

In few coming weeks, the lawmakers of Houston state Rep. Carol Alvarado and state Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-El Paso, will discuss the new bill which would outlaw restaurant use of certain oils, shortenings and margarine aka trans fat by September 2011. The trans fat is considered as bad cholesterol. There are other states that had already passed a law to ban trans fat such as New York City and California. If the bill become law in Texas, Texas would join those two states to ban trans fat and being healthy state. So they are focusing to ban trans fat by September 2011.
The author, Charles Kuffner, post a blog about banning trans fat on "Off the Kuff" website. The author got the article from the Chronicle-"Bill would have trans fat taken out of eating out" by Alan Turner. Alan Turner discussed in the article, explaining about how bad trans fat can affect your health especially bad cholesterol and setting up a new bill to ban trans fat so these people in Texas can be healthy as well.
Charles Kuffner mention that he agreed with Alison Cook that mention that there are foods that has adequate of trans fat on the shelf in the grocery store. So there's saying such as hypocrite. On other hand, for the restaurant, its reasonable to cook with Tran fat free products.
Charles's blog direct to any audience that are Texas residents who likes to go out to eat, and being health-conscious. Charles did use little of this and that of evidence such as he mention about Alison Cook . His statement seems supportive of anti-trans fat. We all want to be healthy, anyway.
