FREEDOM PLAN

we had a health insurance guy come in to work this week..
employees on the company's insurance plan were encouraged to attend a half hour session in our seminar room with this guy.
I got in on the first session (they ran for 2 days).
he was a stocky guy - Domincan or.. -
NY accent - seemed like a native -
gelled black hair, mustache, 40 something, smart glasses, navy suit, bright orange tie..
the things he was saying to us was gold -
bread and butter/meat and potatoes of my new book 'it is what it is' set to launch this Spring..
things like
"What we have here at Oxford Medical plans -
is the FREEDOM ACCESS PLAN -
which all of you are on.. -
there's the low plan, the medium plan, and the high plan.."
"on this one - what you get is a deductible - which kicks in at a certain point.."
"you pick the plan that best meets your needs.."
he also mentioned the emergency room - being like "500 a night" to stay over in a hospital -
which rang a bell in my head 'not to get hurt' -
recalled surviving on chunks of bread and yogurt over in Europe; scraping by to stay at hostels for 18 euro a night..

you're walking down the street - a flower pot falls from a window - smashes over your head and you're suddenly paying 500 per night to stay in a hospital - possibly next to a guy who's weeping aloud over just loosing his arm..

Doctors get paid Serious cash.
isn't it to Help us -
do me a favor and don't drain my bank account!
stitch up the cut over my eye and I give you 50 bucks instead of 500.

Universities and Hospitals are supposed to be helping us.

What's happening!
