Marci inspired me to post a funny clip.
So, here is one on how government is paying for S-CHIP (State children's health insurance program) w/ taxes from Cigs.

At least some good comes from people smoking.
I mean, not all smokers want to quit, so they might as well help out with children's supplemental health care.

People are Dying
Of course, the only certainties in life are Death and Taxes.
Unfortunately, we are seeing a lot of these are two things these days.
As I am sure, health insurance issues have touched many of you in some way or another.
Be it from unaffordability, a sick family member or friend, or just the hassle of trying to obtain it, health insurance companies have been a royal pain in the butt.
People in Iowa have "had it" too. This is a great news story.
The news story talks about how health insurance companies need to make themselves more accessible and affordable or just do away with them and turn to a Universal health care system.

Insurance Company Extreem Makeover???
Insurance companies are not dumb. They haven't survived and thrived this long by accident. Yes, the new Obama regime is planning a major overhaul of the insurance business. Possibly, a health insurance that has much much more government influence.
Therefore, insurance companies are beginning a massive makeover to adapt with the changes.
This is a great story that explains the change.
"If the overhaul that President Barack Obama has promised goes against them, insurers could find themselves trying to compete against a new government-run health plan offering cut-rate premiums to middle-class families".
So, what do you think of the insurance industries' makeover?

Tell Em!
In the past week, there has been a qualitative research theme to most of my classes.
So, this week, I have set up my blog in the spirit of qualitative research.
If you would like to voice your concerns, Tell Em to Good Morning America
Also, feel free to voice your accounts or stories from other whom you have spoken with, on my blog.
A couple of weeks ago I was talking with an undergrad student who said that he & his wife are in college and have no health insurance. They also have a child who is uninsured. He said, "We are just taking our chances right now, ......health insurance is way too expensive".
