The Upcoming Health Insurance Stings

Several of my young nephews posted letters from their insurance companies informing them as of 2017 they were no longer able to insure their families. They are at a loss. These employed, insured families were struggling with massive deductibles and hefty monthly premiums already. Now it is worse. Most college graduates starting families will look to their respective employers as a means to offset the new mandatory health insurance signed into law in 2010 as the Affordable Care Act. It is grinding its way into existence. What most young students /families do not know, but will soon find out, as they enter the workforce, is that insurance is anything but affordable. Middle income families are facing monthly insurance costs that are equal to or greater than their rents or house payments. In fact they will be lucky to find jobs that have insurance plans in 2017.

Trying to steer through the veritable maze of the “Affordable Care Act” one needs a college education, because to the average eye it is like trying to decipher the mad scientist’s chalkboard. It has thrown private healthcare companies as well as employers into a frizzy. The newly mandated laws require all employers to carry health insurance on their employees at a cost that will soon drive them out of business, or face the alternative of laying you off and go foreign ─ letting you and your family woller in the mud of American destitution, while immigrants with large families covered to the inth’ degree in the new socialized programs take over your once high paying job at a much lower salary. Worse, your destitute family still has to be insured or face fines levied through the IRS...say good- bye to your tax credits.

This slow takeover toward socialistic trends has been a subtle, engineered, and manipulated program of control. So far it has been like a huge jar filled with scorpions that the government kids have been shaking around and pissing off. What folks are missing is the most obvious. It is the enormous administrative burden of handling that jar thrown on private health insurance companies employers and you . In absolute dollars compared to the percentage of health care costs, the Affordable Health Care Act it is a huge waste. Not much incentive then for private health care to function properly because it is a waste of everyone’s time. It is easier to bust the jar and let all the mad scorpions out to do what they do best. Sting the crap out of everyone.

It is a sad story, but it sill gets worse as it is expanded across the millions of people who are subjected to private health insurance companies. It is why American health care costs so much and delivers so little. The millennials facing this busting jar of scorpions are running out of duct tape. Pay attention or get stung till our eyeballs fall out. What is needed is a large pen of hungry chickens, and at the rate dollars are being wasted in ineffective health care administration, it won’t be long before we the people start clucking. In the long run, it's staying out of the stew pot that counts.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
