It is amazing how things are perceived in the media. The media throws something out there and some of the public believe it. I still like to hear it from the horse’s mouth. We rely too much on the media to give us their slant. I don’t believe anything until I hear it directly from the Continue reading Why Not? I am too young to remember the Win program from President Ford, but it seems to me that President Obama should read up on a Republican’s plan. Part of the Win program gave businesses a huge tax break if they created revenue. In other words JOBS! Corporate tax rates were cut if a corporation grew their employee base and created jobs. So as an Continue reading Win/Win programs I went to a four hour continuing education class today. Great speakers! The gentleman who is a MD. MBA and medical director at an insurance company, had a great point. He said insurance brokers/consultants have an important role to play the next couple of years. They need to help their clients navigate through the new health care plan Continue reading Health Care Reform Can you tell me what it means? Funny when you think about it. Health care was suppose to make medical insurance more affordable for everyone. Yet we are in the worst recession of all time and the cap on medical insurance renewals does not kick in until 2014. In the meantime employers are experiencing double digit renewals at a time when most companies are Continue reading Health care reform I am glad that our President is a Professor of Law. Really I am. He seems to feel that the Health Care law will stand a court challenge and I guess it has in certain federal courts and other jurisdictions have ruled against it. What seems odd to me is that 28 states have files objections Continue reading Health Care Ruling- Let’s get to the Supreme Court I had the pleasure of meeting Congressman Rahm Emanuel last Thursday at an office meeting downtown. I have to say I was very impressed. Actually the more I read about him after he left the White House, the more I like him. I have no doubt that he would be a fantastic Mayor. The people Continue reading Rahm Emanuel for Mayor I find it interesting that we in America are the only ones that use the the term health care and medical insurance as meaning the same thing. I am guilty of it from time to time myself. In virtually every other country they are two different things. Medical insurance is a private corporation that provides reimbursement for services people Continue reading Employers need to promote healthcare not medical insurance I received an email the other day referring to Ben Stein being quoted as saying “The President wants to be able to verify that everyone has medical insurance but has not done anything about verifying that people are here legally” I laughed when I read that but there is a bit of truth to it. I Continue reading Health care reform Tomorrow a Federal judge in Virginia rules on the individual mandate passed earlier this year in healthcare reform bill. Can the government make an individual purchase a private coverage just for breathing air? I expect the Judge tomorrow to allow the states to proceed with their suit against the federal government. The President will sit down with Continue reading Healthcare Reform Now What?
I feel the need to weigh in on this one. I co-host a political talk show in Elgin and interviewed Jason Plummer for a full hour a few weeks ago. He is nothing like the person portrayed by Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin. I found him sharp but humble, polite and positive on the issues, and willing Continue reading Jason Plummer |
