Guilty!

The defense would like to enter a plea of guilty to the charge of “1st degree hypocrisy.” 

 

Since my last posting, I have put on weight, eaten more chocolate than I care to confess, and had not an iota of exercise (what is the official unit of exercise? You can try here, but I did not have much luck.)  Meanwhile the official recommendation for exercise has gone up again, to 60 minutes a day.  To which my office-mate who runs daily, come pain or rain, remarked “Well, now the average American gets 60 minutes less exercise than they ought to.” 

 

Today’s scary news:  Would $12000 of after-insurance medical expenses be enough to send you into chapter 7 or 13?  (Why call it insurance, if it is does not provide catastrophic coverage?)

 

(Btw, Search - don't you like it how old words take on new meanings - has a long, long way to go.  Five sentences into this piece, and I have already spent at least 30 minutes in search-engine land with nothing to show for it.  I have one question (unit of exercise) still unanswered, and two (Federal exercise recommendations and the Harvard Consumer Bankruptcy Project) for which I cannot track down the original sources.  As for a link to a recent article about Google versus MSN, I guess maybe there just aren’t any. J)

 

I was going to write about Testing at Microsoft, but now that’s going to have to wait for another day (Thanks MSN, thanks Google).

We are just getting our tax information together this week, and my out of pocket medical expenses in 2004 were about $15,000. This does not include what my company (which I own) paid for health insurance (generally considered relatively good health insurance). My family has a medical condition that requires treatment at a top notch medical center, and the best place for this disease in my area is not in network (and in essentially no networks, so no help changing coverage). How important is it to go to this out of network facility? The three members of my family who have gone to Memorial Sloan Kettering (aged 23, 24 and me, 48) are alive, my brother and his daughter who went to a local community hospital died at ages 47 and 20, respectively. That the health care "insurance" system does not recognize that certain conditions require special care continues to make me crazy. That there are folks out there who have to sell t-shirts and have bake sales to get their health care paid for should be a shame to all in this very wealthy country. Fortunately I can live very simply and afford it, but certainly understand how others not as thrifty and not as fortunate job-wise can be forced into bankruptsy by even a moderately expensive illness.
