Medical debt ruined her credit. 'It's like you're being punished for being sick'
New policies to keep medical bills from sinking credit ratings sound good but will likely fall short for many hit hardest by debt — especially Black Americans in the South, such as Penelope Wingard.

Montel Williams is one of the highest-profile advocates for medical cannabis in the country. He has used medical cannabis products to effectively manage the symptoms of his Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since his diagnosis with the disease in 1999.
A cannabis lifestyle and interview show, "Let's Be Blunt" explores the intersection of cannabis, activism, health, and wellness. Hosted by Montel Williams, the podcast works to bridge the gap between common cannabis knowledge and in-depth research, while also giving high-profile guests a chance to “be blunt” about their lives, what they’re passionate about, and what they believe in.

Thank you, Admiral Robinson for providing space and the opportunity to discuss medical cannabis research & education initiatives related to PTSD for disabled veterans in Hawaii 🤝🏾 Evidence based medicine, along with thorough education of the patients, their families, and the staff of the health care facilities, is the key to reinforcing, as well as solidifying the future of health care technologies for DoD veterans and our dependents in the islands. We're working diligently on developing the next steps forward. Mahalo for the encouragement! Congratulations on making history!

Reflect, Remember, Honor Our Heroes!
We/AMVETS try to live our lives worthy of our fallen comrades.
It is our duty and our solemn vow to never forget those who fought and died since this birth of our nation, to the brave men of the USS Arizona, to our fallen comrades today. May they rest in peace and know they will never be forgotten.
President Lincoln said that speeches and statues are not an adequate repayment for service in defense of one’s country. One day of remembrance is simply not enough for what these veterans died for. For we are able to choose freedom today because of the bravery of those men and women whose fate, on that day, had been chosen for them.
Have a blessed and meaningful Memorial Day!
