Hospital Crosses Line

Note: When I originally wrote this article, there were no statements available except from the mother and father and those that represent them. I looked up several articles to do this blog. The hospital and the police department have now added statements to the story in backing their position. I obviously am concerned about the health and safety of babies. As a result of ‘new’ information, I have changed this blog and am adding a follow up blog on our own story of hospital staff bullies. Look for it soon! I’ve written an incendiary title and I know it.

Staging Extremes

Sometimes people try too hard when staging their homes for sale. While it makes sense to use neutral color throughout the home to attract the greatest number of buyers, using stark white in every room is taking it a bit too far. While white presents as crisp and clean, it can also feel sterile and cold. It is therefore important to add a bit of warmth, even if that means just having white paint tinted with a warmer color. Another thing some homeowners do that goes too far is removing too many items in the effort to conquer clutter and … Continue reading →

Coupons From My Health Insurance Company?

Has this ever happened to you? I got a large envelope from my health insurance company in the mail today. It wasn’t a bill, and it wasn’t a “letter of doom”. Enclosed were several coupons that I can take to the grocery store. That was unexpected! I, like many others, have a love-hate relationship with my health insurance company. I love that I didn’t have to come up with the entire cost of my Epi-Pen this year out of pocket – I hate that my insurer didn’t help out with much of the cost. I love that being insured means … Continue reading →

What Do Insurance Brokers Do?

Posted on by

Recently, my husband and I visited with an insurance broker. Our purpose for being there was to find an affordable health insurance plan for me. My insurance broker was extremely helpful!

The NAHU is a group that represents more than 100,000 licensed health insurance agents, brokers, consultants, and benefit professionals, across the United States. One of NAHU’s primary goals is to do everything they … Continue reading →
