Wal-Mart's thinking behind health benefits {BloggingStocks}
May 26th 2007 12:14AM Maybe there is a way to have some of the best of both worlds. How about allowing people a basic plan which would cover, say, two visits per year for routine costs and tests (with a reasonable employee contribution or co-pay), then a high deductible which kicks in above that point, yet still provides substantial coverage for serious injury or catastrophic illnes, like cancer. This would provide protection for people for costs they could not possibly foresee or budget for, but those who simply use the system a lot would pay more for the privilege. After all, the are presumably getting some benefit for their money. I do favor medical savings plans which would allow people a tax incentive to save money to help them handle the cost of the large deductible should they need to use it. Perhaps the employer could also kick into this savings plans at a rate based on the length of service or hours worked of the employee, since the employer would also benefit from retaining employees who have provided substantial service. This would be a bit harder to justify, though, where it is almost impossible to fire an employee regardless of how poor their job performance is. Being fire-proof (as in the case of tenure) is not the equivalent of being a valuable employee in some cases.
Spring 2006: Best Men's Shoes {Luxist}
Apr 6th 2006 4:32PM Gee, these shoes are certainly the perfect wardrobe accessory for your favorite male narcissist. I would have thought that anyone who could afford these shoes would know better than to buy them, let alone wear them.
Still laughing over those white leather moccasins. Whooooo-eeeeee! And the orange pigskin? ROFLMAO!!!
French paradox falling by the weigh-side {Slashfood}
Jan 31st 2006 6:25PM "Yes, obesity is the one of the side effect of avid capitalism and affects all industrialized countries."
Uh, no Phil, capitalism ensures that everyone has enough to eat, but has nothing to do with people overeating. Except for young children, eating too much is a personal problem. Some people do have to eat less than others due to their different metabolic rates.
However, everyone can increase their metabolic rates by exercising to whatever degree they are capable of and can reduce obesity by sticking to healthy food choices the majority of the time.
Healthy food is cheaper to eat and, for those with more money than time, many healthy choices are out there in frozen, canned, convenience or restaurant, deli and fast foods, to eat in or to go.
As always, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
