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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
