Medicare Isn’t Sustainable

December 21, 2022 / By / All Posts, Health Insurance, In The News

During a New Hampshire town meeting Jeb Bush was confronted by a senior citizen after a comment about entitlement reform. The women commented by saying, “My Medicare right now is wonderful and I paid into it for all these years. Why are you always attacking seniors?” Where Bush called it the entitlement system the woman rebutted that she had earned it. I can see where the woman is coming from in the thought that she has paid into the system, and she has, but not nearly enough to contribute to the cost of her medical care. The level of funding …

Good Decisions For Small Business Healthcare

December 21, 2022 / By / All Posts, Health Insurance, Small Business

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) a small business above 50 employees is required to provide healthcare for their employees. These companies that have 50 or more full-time employees must provide health insurance to 95% of their employees and dependents up to age 26 or risk paying a tax penalty of $2,000 per full-time employee. An article on Forbes says, “many small businesses still do provide health care for their employees, either out of a sense of responsibility or out of a desire to attract quality candidates (or both).” Although, depending on how those plans are paid for you could run into some …

Whether you are a morning person or not I don’t know, but either way the morning tends to get away from those of us that head off to your typical 9-5 job. I am not a morning person and am lucky to get in a cup of coffee before running out the door.

A few keys to maintaining a healthy lifestyle are eating throughout the day with …

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has boasted an increase in healthcare enrollment, which is to be expected as it’s mandatory. What do those numbers look like on paper though? In Colorado alone the uninsured have been cut by more than half over the past two years. The disheartening news is that the drop is due almost entirely to a surge in Medicaid enrollment, according to Biz Journals. The Colorado Health Institute (CHI) and The Colorado Trust released its findings from the 2015 Colorado Health Access Survey and the increase in Medicaid enrollment was one of many things the survey revealed. Another is the way …

Pro or No Vaccine?

December 21, 2022 / By / All Posts, Health Insurance, In The News

The battle continues from parents on Pro or No Vaccine. As the school year starts there are many children walking through the doors without their recommended vaccines due to medical, religious or philosophical reasons. Parents who are pro-vaccine believe that those that don’t vaccinate their children are putting their children at risk. Please inform me of something though, if their children are vaccinated they are no longer at risk, so why are they worried? It is the parents that don’t vaccinate their children that are putting each others children at risk and they all sit on the same side of …
