Healthcare Glitches!

Greetings from Mobile Generated News®  MoGN!

I am one of those people who will not have healthcare on January 1, 2014.  The reason?  My healthcare provider has decided not to stay in business in the State of California.  Good riddance! 

A year ago when I went shopping for insurance for my family, the rate was $950 per month.  Since then it has gone up twice and is currently $1,132 per month.  The deductible is high and many routine preventative procedures are only covered partially.

Any alternative has to be better!  I am one of those waiting until the government gets the bugs out of the system.

Oh, by the way, I received a very apologetic letter in the mail this past Tuesday from Adobe.  According to their web site, “Adobe is the global leader in digital marketing and digital media solutions. Our tools and services allow our customers to create groundbreaking digital content, deploy it across media and devices, measure and optimize it over time, and achieve greater business success. We help our customers make, manage, measure, and monetize their content across every channel and screen.”

What did the letter say?

“I am writing to inform you about an incident that involved information about you.  We recently discovered that between September 11 and September 17, an unauthorized third party illegally accessed certain customer order information.”

It goes on to say that. “Although our investigation is ongoing, we believe that the third party likely removed from our systems certain customer names, payment card expiration dates, encrypted payment card numbers, and other information relating to customer orders.”

So even experienced ,“Global leaders in digital media and marketing solutions,” have problems with their websites.

Regarding the healthcare glitches, obviously the Feds did a terrible job on the website itself, but that doesn’t mean that the new healthcare law is flawed.  We all need to be patient in this world that depends so much on technology.

Generation X and the confusion with ObamaCare

First and foremost, I understand everyone is entitled to their opinions. That being said, I am not here to offend anyone, just simply to state my viewpoint on the issue at hand.

I would like to speak on behalf of the confused Generation X and try to find answers to questions we’re all having…

As we all know, there are 3 perspectives in any situation, he said, she said and the truth. In regards to ObamaCare, my opinion is limited. For the most part I have been in the dark and plan to stay that way until this is completely figured out and structured in a way that makes sense…for everyone. I support Obama in the sense that I respect all of the positive things he has done for our Country…

BUT, President Obama..don’t you think this decision was made prematurely.

Do we really know what the side-effects will be with having our Government run our Healthcare system? Was this completely thought through? -Please prove me wrong.

According to CNN, close to 50% of Americans ages 18-29 are not even aware that the bill was signed into law in March of 2010. Now 3 years later, we’re all still confused and supposed to put this in place in 3 months? Woah.

I believe there is a lack of clarity in this system, which has led to confusion and proceeded to a Government Shut-down. If Congress cannot even agree on a budget, what else should we question? People are confused and not really sure who to believe at this point. We were promised something when we voted (he said) and today, the reality is not the same (she said), so where’s the truth in all of this?

Personally, I am a 25 year old, California resident. I am healthy (whatever that means), single, female and a student. I will continue to be covered under my mother’s insurance plan until the prime age of 26 (March of 2014). Thankfully, I have time to develop my own opinion but at the end of the day, we’re all stuck with this come January 1st 2014. What’s a girl to do…
