More than a quarter of young immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program lack health insurance and face burdens preventing them from accessing care, according to new data first shared with NBC News.
A report published Friday by the immigrant rights nonprofit group National Immigration Law Center, documenting the findings of a recent survey, found that 27% of DACA recipients reported not being covered by any kind of health insurance or other health care plan.
The results suggest that of the more than 580,000 young adults without legal status who are allowed to work and study without…

Recipe: Peggy’s Indian Cabbage | Diabetic Mediterranean Diet
May 20, 2023 · 8:10 AM
From Peggy at Buttoni’s Low-Carb Recipes:
If you think you don’t like cabbage (like my husband) you have GOT to try this recipe! You’ll swear you don’t eat cabbage!! No cabbage odor or strong taste whatsoever to this dish!

I order my nigella seeds (black onion seeds or how about seed) on-line, but you may be lucky to have a spice supplier where you live. I would not recommend omitting them, as you will miss out on a flavor layer…
Protesters crash UCP announcement on affordability
Protesters temporarily derailed a UCP campaign event led by Danielle Smith on Thursday.
Three people carried signs and shouted health care concerns as the Conservative leader was escorted out of the room.
It all happened during an announcement about a discount to help Alberta seniors with various registry services and other fees.
“Hospitals are not for sale,” one of the protesters said as others waved “For Sale” signs with health facility names written on them.

Is coffee good or bad for you? That may depend on your genes
Latte, pour-over or double double: no matter how you grind or brew it, many Canadians start their day with a cup of coffee.
Coffee — more specifically, caffeine — can be a great way to feel more alert and awake. But what else is that cup of coffee doing to our health?
According to experts, it depends.
“In popular press, one day coffee is good for you, another day it’s bad for you, another day it doesn’t do anything,” said Sara Mahdavi, a clinical scientist at the University of Toronto.
But whether a certain level of caffeine has health benefits,…

Pueblo’s East Side Clinic is the first zero energy health facility in the US
Pueblo Community Health Center’s new East Side Clinic doesn’t have electric bills. It doesn’t have gas bills either.
The center has gained the distinction of being the first verified health care facility in North America to win a zero energy verification.
That means the clinic at 1301 E. Seventh St. generates more power than it uses thanks to the more-than 600 solar panels installed on the building’s roof and parking lot carport roof. There are no gas bills either because a high-tech geothermal pump system provides heating and cooling, said Donald Moore, Pueblo Community Health Center chief executive officer.
