So the debates go on, and I wait for my health insurance ship to come in, steered I think by Cesar the insurance broker. Who didn’t follow up with me as promised. Interestingly enough, the followup of most of the agents, even those to whom I was encouraging, was nil. Maybe they know they’re not solving their customers’ problems very well these days, and so they don’t even try. I think I need a new career. Lots of these guys make good money, and they don’t even follow the basics of good salesmanship.
Okay, I’m off the soap box. Today I go back to the re-employment office, where they have an area set up for information on social services available to those in need. I have avoided asking for additional funds beyond my unemployment checks, but it has been pointed out to me that there may be more available that can help support me as I start and build my business. Food Stamps? Me? Hey, why not? It would make a difference, especially right now, so I’ll see if I am actually eligible. And see what else I can apply for. Will report back as soon as I have some good info.
Last week’s double fisted slam at women’s health may leave a lot of insured women in a lurch about mammograms and other preventative screenings, especially those in the 40-50 year age range. So suddenly, last week’s suggestion of going to the local Health Department or Planned Parenthood is not as farfetched as I had originally thought.
Of course, affordable health insurance and affordable health care are top topics on many minds right now, both individuals and businesses. Business Week’s cover story today (11/23/09), for instance, is “Why Wait for Health Reform — 10 Ways to Cut Costs Right Now”. (Hmm, sounds like a story from I Love a Good Bargain . com!) Let’s see what they have to say.
1. CRACK DOWN ON FRAUD AND ABUSE
2. DEVELOP A HEALTHY WORKFORCE
3. COORDINATE CARE THROUGH FAMILY DOCTORS
4. MAKE HEALTH A COMMUNITY EFFORT
5. STOP INFECTIONS IN HOSPITALS
6. GET PATIENTS TO TAKE THEIR MEDICINE
7. DISCUSS OPTIONS NEAR THE END OF LIFE
8. USE INSURANCE TO MANAGE CHRONIC DISEASE
9. LET WELL-INFORMED PATIENTS DECIDE
10. APOLOGIZE TO THE PATIENT
You can read the whole story here. Or read more about how it affects YOU here.
More to come. Happy Monday!
