- Sick orphan baby finds a family in Miami NICU
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  Before she learned how to smile or hold a gaze, Emma was given up twice - by her 23-year-old birth mother, a drug-user, smoker and drinker who knew she could never care for the baby, and by a 48-year-old adoptive mother who backed out when she learned of Emma's heart condition and of her own pregnancy by in-vitro fertilization.

New Survey: 82% Of Americans Think Health Care Needs Major Overhaul

Towards the end of last year ( I work in health and wellness) and am a huge fan of high quality natural health products and supplementation. Anyway, I received an email from one of my colleagues , a poll rating health care systems from around the world. U.S. came in dead last! So this is an understatement. Thanks.
