Texas Job Hunters Can Do Better Without Health Insurance Worries Residents of Texas -- particularly in the big cities of Dallas, Houston and Austin -- and especially those with skills in demand, may be among the most marketable employees in the country.

All hail, ye women of coffee! Yes, I'm talking to you -- you late-night freelancers, you hard-studying (or hard-partying) Texas A & M students, you business executives! You, yoga master, sneaking delicious cups of bitter decadence. (I know you're out there)! In Texas, Lack Of Healthcare Coverage Affects Parents And Families Health coverage for the family helps to assist those families in obtaining more affordable healthcare services, says a report by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. The Foundation, which based the report on its 2005 Low-Income Coverage and Access Survey, makes the argument that not having health insurance affects not just a parent's health, but also the well-being of the entire family. Pain, Pain Go Away: Texas Seeks A Choice Of Treatments For Chronic Pain Sufferers Part 3 Chronic pain will disable more people in the U.S. than cancer and heart disease combined this year. Between 75 and 90 million Americans deal with chronic pain, and approximately 25 million from acute pain that requires treatment.

America's Healthcare System Ranks The Lowest Among Industrialized Nations The U.S. doesn't get its money's worth when it comes to health care, according to recent statistics. The Commonwealth Fund released a report earlier this month on America's ranking in the world health care system -- and it wasn't good. Protecting Your Peepers in Texas Your eyes. You've only got two.

Texas Loves Its Chocolate: An Ancient Treat From The Mayans Just Gets Better Very few of us don't have at least one good memory of chocolate. Remember warm chocolate chip cookies after school, or brownies pulled straight from the oven on a cool, fall day? Hot chocolate is still the beverage of choice for many children, and few of any age can resist a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Pain, Pain Go Away: Texas Seeks A Choice Of Treatments For Chronic Pain Sufferers Part 2 Texas is one of many states with thousands, possibly millions, of its residents suffering from chronic pain. Overall, chronic pain will affect between 15% and 33% of the U.S. population every year, and cost the nation $70 billion in medical charges, lost working days, and workers' compensation -- more than cancer and heart disease combined. Texas Sees Green: Texas Gets Turned On To The Benefits Of Tea We've all been there, at least in some form that complex and mystifying land of too many beverage choices and their accoutrements.
