Cost effectiveness of preventing falls and improving mobility in people with Parkinson disease: protocol for an economic evaluation alongside a clinical trial
One study has estimated that 27% of people with PD will sustain a hip fracture in the first 10 years following diagnosis of PD
Resource use and costs in a Swedish cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease.
The mean total annual cost for PD in our sample approximated SEK 124,000 ( approximately USD 12,400; 2000

The current and projected economic burden of Parkinson's disease in the United States
We estimate that approximately 630,000 people in the United States had diagnosed PD in 2010, with diagnosed prevalence likely to double by 2040.
The national economic burden of PD exceeds $14.4 billion in 2010 (approximately $22,800 per patient). Indirect costs (e.g., reduced employment) are conservatively estimated at $6.3 billion (or close to $10,000 per person with PD). 400 million for mass.

Keep walking
If you know someone with movement issues, take them for a walk.
Walk and talk.
Whole foods shopping, talking, small carts
Encourage people to join an activity.
Social is important.

WHY EXERCISE HELPS PEOPLE WITH MOVEMENT DISORDERS
Ivan Bodis-Wollner, M.D., the director of the Parkinson's Disease and Related Disorders Clinic Center of Excellence at the State University of New York at the Downstate Medical Center, believes that dance therapy helps because it works the body as a whole, not as an isolated muscle group. In addition to feeling support from the group and from feeling better from doing exercise—which in itself produces dopamine, Dr. Bodis-Wollner says—there's another benefit as well.
Movement disorders are clinical syndromes with either an excess of movement or a paucity of voluntary and involuntary movements, unrelated to weakness or spasticity

2) PARKINSONS, THAT'S ME
Stages
- weakness one side
- both sides
- difficulty walking
- terrible falls
Do dopamine in brain
Drugs will help, for a while
10 years to live, or maybe no effect
What I do?
- Vegan, no meat
- Walking, stopped driving, public transportation
- Boxing 5-6 days
Why boxing?
Ruth saw interview with leslie stahl. Her husband has it.
It's reducing the tremors in my left hand. Less tripping.
Teaching your brain to work faster. Strength training.
Straifing. Always know where my feet are. Demonstration.
Social aspect
3) What I want you to do?

Health Care Innovation

Statistics
Total population (2015) 5,669,000
Gross national income per capita (PPP international $, 2013) 44
Life expectancy at birth m/f (years, 2015) 79/82
Probability of dying under five (per 1 000 live births, 0) not available
Probability of dying between 15 and 60 years m/f (per 1 000 population, 2015) 88/54
Total expenditure on health per capita (Intl $, 2014) 4,782
Total expenditure on health as % of GDP (2014) 10.8

https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9464-1/index1.html
Here's the Article:
Our leadership in Washington is continuing their attack on health care. We should ignore them as much as possible. Massachusetts has few natural resources. If we want to thrive, we need to attract growth tech industries. We will. When I walk around Boston, it feels like something exciting is happening. We have a concentration of well-educated people with diverse backgrounds. This is a recipe for growth and innovation.
However, health care costs are a drag on our competiveness. Denmark which is about the same in population spends about half what we spend. Even if the federal government leaves the Affordable Health Care Act unchanged, we still have a problem. We are an innovative state! It is time for use to take health care to the next level.

Good News About Gas Leaks, Oct 3
Hearing good environmental news is always wonderful. On
October 3, 2017, I attended the Gas Leak Allies summit on "Common Goals,
Uncommon Partners" at the MIT Sloan School Wong Auditorium in Cambridge . The Gas Leaks
Allies are a coalition of activists, researchers, utility executives, municipal
leaders, natural gas experts, inventors, and concerned citizens. Mothers Out
Front and the Gas Leak Allies sponsored the meeting.
The Gas Leak Allies are finding solutions for the
gas-leaking pipelines buried in our neighborhoods. They are making real
progress. The summit highlighted their persistent effort in learning how to
work together, collecting data and solving technical problems. In a time when
people seem to be polarized, it is nice to see real progress in solving
difficult problems.
