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.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
