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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
