On health insurance … February 12th, 2015 @ 11:50 am PDT
The only people who don’t think the entire health insurance system in these United States is irreparably, tragically, insultingly broken are the incredibly healthy and the absurdly wealthy. Everyone else is screwed, and we know it. And yet nothing changes because the incredibly wealthy make the rules.
Four legs good, two legs better. February 5th, 2015 @ 7:18 am PDT
What bothers me the most about the recent cyber-hack of the Anthem BlueCross system is not that a company that large and that profitable — one tasked with the care of the most personal data of millions of Americans — did not have adequate security in place to prevent such a thing from happening. That’s […]
What You Don’t Know About Obamacare Will Surprise You October 30th, 2014 @ 8:56 am PDT
Obamacare is really, really difficult to understand. So here is a really, really good explanation to help. If you are a person who is alive, you should read it. (And, no, it’s actually not biased! It’s just a straightforward explanation!)
Misdirection and Contraception: On Hobby Lobby July 2nd, 2014 @ 7:43 am PDT
Imagine yourself in a bar where a pickpocket takes money out of your wallet and with it buys you a glass of chardonnay.

Does anyone have any idea why the Michael Moore film about health insurance in America, Sicko, got nowhere near the same amount of publicity as Bowling for Columbine or Fahrenheit 9/11? I’m not asking how you feel about the message / content of any of these films. I’m just trying to understand why Sicko seemed […]
Blue Cross of California Member Registration July 10th, 2007 @ 6:52 am PDT
The new member registration form at the Blue Cross of California website has what I consider to be several major bugs. A user’s username must contain a number and a letter. Because this is not exactly a ‘net “standard”, they need to do a better job of bringing this to your attention. When you submit […]
1st Burial Funeral Insurance July 1st, 2002 @ 5:24 pm PDT
Mock funerals are another practice that happen more often than you would imagine. This is where a service is held for family and friends and then when it’s over the cemetery buries the casket wherever it wants. Horrific, but it does happen. Make sure you receive everything in writing and appoint someone to check if […]
