US $28.72
Obviously something has got to change. Millions do not have coverage. Most of the time this is due to the cost of health insurance. Pre-existing conditions many times makes the price outrageous. And the older you get the more expensive it gets. So what do we do?
First and foremost...we have to do something about how we insure. Everyone needs to have it. There is another insurance that most everyone has...car insurance. It is cheap for the reason that everyone has it. BUT...same thing there...if you are a high risk driver...you pay more to drive. But point here is that everyone must have health insurance. If everyone is mandated to have coverage...then the price will come down due to some 40 million additional people signing up for coverage.
The "mandated" coverage should be disaster coverage...similar to liability only coverage on your car. high deductable coverage. This kind of coverage is cheap also. I have a $5000 deductable policy that costs me $90 a month. It is there just in case something happens. I am young. I do not go the the doctor much so this works perfect for me. What this does...first it makes insurance companies compete...they attempt to get everyone with their personal liability policies. But the second step of this...there has to be a penalty that is real for those who attempt to get care without having some sort of insurance. Right now what happens in the working class in America. Everyone knows that if they get hurt they can walk into any emergency room and the hospital MUST treat you by law. How one will pay is not discussed. And most hospitals write off millions every year in services rendered to people who never paid the bill for their emergency room stays. It happens...my roommate has done it, my girlfriend has all sorts of collections companies after her for doing the same. They just go in and then completely ignore the payments.
With that type of system in place...it is obvious why healthcare is expensive. The other issue is that when people have insurance...shopping around for the best deal is not even thought of. people know their insurance company is picking up the tab so they just want the best then...no matter what the cost. This is why many insurance companies do the 80/20 split policies. This is an attempt to get people to be a little frugal with how they use their insurance. And I tend to agree with them. My dad had a heart attack recently. He insisted on me driving him to the hospital verses calling 911 due to the costs of the ambulance ride. His insurance covers so much of the ride there but it is about $500 out of pocket for him. This is exactly what insurance companies are looking for.
And lastly...trying to keep this is main points. We have to do something about people who run to the doctor about everything. Everyone knows one of these people. I employ a good number of people. I know which ones do this. They are constantly asking for days off for being sick and needing to go to the doctor. When you ask what is wrong, you get this petty excuse. I have a pain in my knee or I have a fever. Take an pain pill and come to work. I am there every single day sick or not. Needless to say...like insurance companies...I purge my workforce of these individuals pretty quickly also. I can not stand having staff I can not count on to be at work on a regular basis. I do understand some people get sick more than others but sometimes I wonder where Americans spine has gone.

Grasses of the Intermountain Region $60 Grasses of the Intermountain Region is a modification of the two grass volumes of the Flora of North America (FNA). It is designed for identifying members of the Poaceae in the region between the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains, and is intended for use by botanists working with the grasses in this intermountain region of North America. The reduction in number of taxa included from FNA has reduced the length of the keys and made it possible to include, in a single volume, descriptions and illustrations for all taxa treated as well as provide distribution maps for species that are established in the area. Another difference from the FNA volumes is that the maps in this volume show only records from IMR and adjacent areas rather than the full North America range of the taxa. |

Estimating the Value of Water-Use Efficiency in the Intermountain West $9.95 Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of water-efficiency programs can be difficult, because not all the benefits are easily quantified. This report presents an economic framework based on two tools from the California Urban Water Conservation Council to estimate the avoided costs and environmental benefits of an agency's efficiency programs. The report evaluates the benefits of Denver Water efficiency programs and uses an exploratory modeling approach to accommodate the significant uncertainty in such estimations. The results of this study suggest that the inclusion of long-run avoided costs and environmental benefits is critical to fully recognizing the value of water-use efficiency programs. The authors find that evaluating only the short-run avoided costs leads to the conclusion that many water-efficiency projects already a part of Denver Water’s 10-year conservation plan are not cost-effective. When long-run avoided costs and environmental and recreational benefits were factored in, all but two Denver Water programs were estimated to be cost-effective. The timing of projected water savings from efficiency programs is also critical. Water savings from programs that concentrate savings during summer months, when water is scarcer, should be valued higher than saving from programs that lead to more uniform water savings throughout the year, because these water savings reduce peak water needs. |
