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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
