If we just all sit criss-cross-applesauce-style and chant “Ommmmm,” the economy will improve, peace will reign, and the world will be a better place! Via Eric Zimmerman at The Hill:

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) says he’s found a cost effective way to address chronic pain, stress, and other illnesses: meditation.
Ryan is urging policymakers to consider adding “mindfulness education”–learning to reduce one’s own stress level–to healthcare reform legislation.
“Every day, I meditate for at least 45 minutes before leaving home in the morning,” Ryan wrote on his website. “I find it makes me a better listener, and my concentration is sharper. I get less distracted when I’m reading. It’s like you see through the clutter of life and can penetrate to what’s really going on.”
At a hearing last week, Ryan asked HHS Secretary Kathleen [Sebelius] to keep in mind the positive effects of mindfulness when re-working the nation’s healthcare system…
…”I think it’s a prevention strategy that I know has the potential of paying huge dividends,” Sebelius said.

So we’re already moving away from rationing healthcare to
'stay home and think about it' care ? We should all be looking into natural healing methods such as aroma therapy, acupuncture, herbal medicines, pyramid power etc…. That is all that will be available to the common folk after ObamaCare passes. Best to beat the rush start looking for your preferred treatments now. Sticking one’s head in the sand works well too....
The daily stretches were part of
1984, no?
One more step toward melding government into the/a religion.
