Healthy Benefits Plus Program: Some questions you may have about what you can or can't buy - Marca English

AHealthy Benefits Plus Program card is one way to ensure people in the USA get access to good quality and healthy food each day, in order to raise family well.

The USA is a country with many health issues and those issues can be hard to rectify if an individual is focused on making enough money just to get by, with little time to themselves for exercise or healthy cooking.

The following groups are eligible for the Healthy Benefits Plus Program:

  • People with high-risk pregnancies
  • Children experiencing obesity
  • People aged 17 to 26 who are aging out of foster care

Can I buy food with a Healthy Benefits card?

Yes, the whole point of the Healthy Benefits Plus Program is to ensure that balanced meals can be put on the table. That means that a long list of groceries, including frozen meals and products, fresh salads and dairy products can be bought, as well as a lot more.

Can I use my Healthy Benefits card for gas?

No, the Healthy Benefits Plus Program isn't for gas. It is tailored to specific products within a supermarket rather than just everything they sell, such as gasoline.

Can I buy soda with Healthy Benefits card?

No, unhealthy products are not usually eligible for purchase through the Healthy Benefits Plus Program as they are not in line with the original point of the scheme, which is to provide healthy choices.

Can I buy ice cream with my Healthy Foods card?

No, ice cream isn't usually permitted with the Healthy Benefits Plus Program. As with soda, there is little desire from the government to help people buy ice cream for their home.

Can I buy body wash with my Healthy Benefits card?

Non-food items are not allowed to be purchased with the Healthy Benefits Plus Program.

Travis Chalmers, of Elmsdale, N.S., said he was outside playing road hockey with his son when he suddenly experienced a "warm sensation" in his chest area and a splitting headache. "I just thought it was a flu or cold coming on and my seasonal allergies had been kicking in. I thought it was flu-like symptoms and shrugged it off," he said.

The watch indicated that he was experiencing atrial fibrillation, a rapid heart rhythm that can increase the ris...

It Was Stranger Than It Seemed. - The New York Times Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:25 AM PST It was chest pain that brought the 34-year-old woman to the emergency room at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. She'd been coughing for days, but that morning the pain was so bad she was worried that it had turned into pneumonia. She tried to tough it out, but when it was no better by the end of the day, she decided to go to the E.R. It took a few hours, but finally the physician assistant caring for her in the E.R. brought some good news. She didn't have pneumonia; she didn't have a clot in her lungs. This was just muscle strain from coughing. The year before, she was told she had asthma. She was given inhalers to stop the coughing and wheezing, but they didn't seem to do much. So she didn'...
