Health care costs have been rising faster than inflation for years because people are just plain getting fatter and eating unhealthy food. There is a direct correlation between the consistent increasing…

@ Junnama If there is one thing the Internet is good for, it is to spread rumors so here I go. There are all kinds of rumors down here in Fukuoka where he was, for at least a short period of time, about him getting assistance; money and lodging from…
