Health Care Reform – Insurers are seeing the light
Posted: June 24, 2011 Filed under: Health Care Reform | Tags: Blue Shield of California, Health care reform 3 CommentsHealth Care Reform has finally made at least one insurance carrier stand up and say “We Do Care”. At least that’s the way I see it and all we need is just one insurance company to step up to the plate. Once one carrier takes a stand maybe others will follow.
Thank you Blue Shield of California!
Controlling Health Care Spending
Posted: May 27, 2011 Filed under: Controlling Costs | Tags: Health care, High-fructose corn syrup 1 CommentControlling health care spending by taking care of yourself seems to be my number one passion. I just can’t help it. I recommend different ideas on how to save premium with your health insurance, but I know in my heart if I help spread the word about taking care of yourself this will help you save money and more importantly save your health. Is there anything more important than your health? So no more apologies from me.

Health Care Reform and the Kingdom of Cost

Queen of Health Care Reform
Once upon a time a new leader was elected. The new leader wanted to make sure everyone was covered for health insurance and put together a group that created a plan to cover pretty much every one in the kingdom (aka Health Care Reform). The plan had great ideas to keep the people healthy with preventive care and to eliminate life time maximums so that no one would be cut off from insurance if they had big health issues. But the people who put the plan together forgot about how to control costs other than making the insurance companies keep their costs low with medical loss ratios. Read the rest of this entry »

George Miller, D-Martinez, who touted how great the federal Health Care Reform bill is that he supported.
Self Healing can Control Your Healthcare Costs
Posted: April 8, 2011 Filed under: Controlling Costs | Tags: Self Healing Leave a commentSelf Healing can Control Your Healthcare Costs, and I can prove it! The middle of last summer, my friend, Donna Buessing, introduced me to a great book called Pain Free by Peter Egoscue. Donna heard of the book from someone at her gym and told me about it when I told her I had foot pain for more than a year and I was looking for some relief. Donna had a copy of the book and she let me borrow it. I didn’t want to keep it long since she was working on her own issue, so I took the book home, studied it and followed the exercises that night.
Happy Anniversary Health Care Reform
Posted: March 31, 2011 Filed under: PPACA | Tags: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan Leave a commentWe just passed the first anniversary of PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act). Many positive things have happened as a result of the law. Things that needed to happen. The insurance carriers could have added these enhancements all by themselves without the law forcing their hand, just because it’s a good thing to do, but they weren’t listening to me!
