Ra’anan Sistare ENG 112 Dr. Boyer 6/5/15 Why Anabolic Steroids Should be Legal “Die young, die strong, Dianabol.” This is the motto chanted by 40 percent of teenage steroid users that said they wouldn’t stop regardless of potential or apparent side effects. Young and veteran users of Anabolic Steroids seem to outweigh the benefits of using versus the side effects or dangers of using. Blown out of proportion by the media, outlawed by the federal government, and not nearly enough education on steroids has led to many users overdosing and harming themselves.

These people are projected to have incomes too high to qualify for their state’s existing Medicaid programs, but below the federal poverty level (nearly $11,500 for an individual) required to be eligible for federal subsidies to buy private coverage on the new online insurance marketplaces set up by the Affordable Care Act. Medicaid is the state-federal health insurance program for the poor. “Millions of adults will remain outside the reach of the ACA and continue to have limited, if any, options for health coverage,” the study concludes. The law provides full federal funding for three years to states that expand Medicaid to cover residents under 138 percent of the poverty level (or just under $15,900 for an individual). But the Supreme Court made that requirement effectively optional for states, and most Republican led-states have opted against expanding the

Why take 10 medicines for one problem when you can take one for 10 problems?” Dylan Davis’s opinion on the matter was, “I believe medical marijuana should be legalized since it is a herd, you can’t overdose on it. It would help our terrible economy and plus it’s proven to help medical conditions.” Jamie DeSalvo told me, “Medical marijuana should be legalized since it’s proven to help medical conditions. Besides that economy would get better from the income tax, or just from not as many arrests on marijuana charges could save thousands of dollars. It is in our own rights; life, liberty, and happiness. Those are our unalienable rights as an American.” Enoch Easter’s opinion was, “Why not legalize marijuana period?
However, choosing option one has particular strong suits. It would save Rosewood hotels from having to invest 1 million dollars per year into a corporate branding strategy, as well as, not having to persuade hotel managers/co-op owners of why the branding must be done. On the other hand, John has identified that the Rosewood brand has low recognition and brand-wide usage from their guests; a direct result of the soft branding strategy. In addition, it is noted in the case that competition within the luxury hotel segment is intense which is beginning to make it difficult to position the Rosewood hotels. Ultimately, if Rosewood continues their soft branding strategy they will begin to diminish within the luxury hotel industry.

(US Department of Health and Human Services, 2012). Many in our community fail to understand that there is even a problem, believing that being overweight is not a health concern. The number of diabetes cases among American adults has increased by a third during the 1990s, with additional increases expected and this rapid increase in the rate of diabetes is mostly attributed to the growing frequency of obesity in the United States. (American Diabetes Association, 2008).
Bariatric Bypass and Bariatric Band ConnieLee Hilborn COM/155 March 30, 2013 Carrie Kendall Bariatric Bypass and Bariatric Band Obesity is prevalent in the United States today and men and women alike are looking for methods to lose weight. When dieting and exercise alone cannot produce the desired results, there are other options. Bariatric bypass and the bariatric band achieve the same purpose, a means to lose weight. “Bariatric surgery has been shown to be more effective than traditional weight loss treatments such as diet and exercise for morbidly obese people. Despite the effectiveness of bariatric surgery, it is not for everyone.” (Realize, A Comparison of Gastric, Banding, Gastric Bypass, and Sleeve Gastrectomy, 2013, pg.

This act enforced a five-day waiting period and background checks prior to the purchase of a handgun and was going to reduce crime dramatically. Eighteen states were exempt from the Brady Act and in 1993 due to state laws. Those same exempt states held the highest crime rates in America. When calculating the success of the Brady Act the fact that the exempt states accounted for 63% of U.S. violent crimes did not matter (National Rifle Association, 1999). With the highest crime states out of the picture it left knowingly less violent states for Brady supporters to use as proof of decreasing crime.
