*******The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — a legislation championed by President Barack Obama — mandates that a minimum set of health insurance benefits be extended to all Americans, regardless of any preexisting conditions, forcing insurers to cover even the sickest applicants. Because of these new requirements, insurers are expecting costs to skyrocket, and as a result, many are preparing to raise premiums to cover these increased expenses.

******It was explained to me by my good friend/family doctor, as to WHY I was turned down 2 years ago for an MRI on my torn MCL. He said ever since Obama care talk, many such requests for test of all kinds have been suddenly turned down, in PREPARATION for "all" they will HAVE to cover when forced to.

*****That makes no sense. It's not as though MRI tests are a limited resource. If you don't give a test now, that doesn't mean there'll be more available two years from now. If anything, they'd be giving more tests now, when the price is high, to balance out the tests that'll be covered under insurance in a few years.

*****If someone said to you that homeowners insurance would cover piano tuning in two years, would you stop tuning pianos today in preparation for that?
****
**** You're not getting it. The insurance companies won't cover the cost now, because they want to use this money that they will later be forced to spend out in great profusion. It's not the health care workers refusing treatment, it's the insurance companies refusing to finance operations that they will be forced to later.
**** Get it?

***That's incredibly stupid. Only an idiot would think that made sense.

** Really? My other half is also waiting on her father's insurance check (he died in December) , it's cut and dry, and clear in court. Where's her money? Insurance company has it. Tell me why they've got her money, if they ain't using it..

*That is a complete non-sequitur in relation to what you said previously.

** I think you fell through the looking glass. Say hi to the red queen for me.

**** Meanwhile my other half, who has been a health care professional for twenty-six years, is having a hard time finding a job in Chicago.

***Guess that means the predicted shortage of healthcare workers isn't happening.

****Nope, just health care JOBS, the industry is shrinking. For Pete's sake, dude, open your eyes.

*You don't have a clue how supply and demand works, do you?
None at all. Guess that's why my business is growing.
To be fair, I'm getting a little scared. There is so much I really HAVENT got a clue about, and I have to rely on people who do. So many new faces around me in key positions that I have to trust.
I can be taken so easy. It can all go bust just like that, you know it?
I keep telling myself, no more, that's it! Hold what you got.
But I just added a tree cutting service ...
