And all in good fun.

Twas the night of my stomachache, and all through the house
Not a person was eating, not even my spouse;
Our children were waiting, all ready for bed,
While visions of guilt and crumbs raced through my head;

Last week, when the lame-duck Congress was anything but lame, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D) decided to be proactive with his health.  During a late November physical, the Senator had been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer.  With this kind of notice, Wyden could decide on three options: watchful waiting (for low-grade tumors), radiation therapy (for outpatient procedures), and surgery (for a removal of the prostate itself).  He chose the latter and scheduled his surgery for Monday, December 20...

As the dawn of a new year approaches, one of the most talked about subjects in America over the last 24 months has been that of health care.  Hotly debated among politicians and argued fiercely among citizens, the question has long boiled down to an ideological and simplistic view of health care as a right or health care as a privilege.  But the trouble is in the question itself.  If someone argues that health care is a privilege, they will be labeled elite, suggesting that they care little for the many who cannot afford a doctor.  If someone argues that health care is a right, they will be labeled an entitled populist, suggesting that they want everything handed to them on a silver platter...

On Saturday morning, Americans were thrust into a world of tragedy when Representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot point blank in the head by a heartless young man of little remorse.  Even more tragic was that the shooter wasn’t satisfied to attempt assassination on a sitting U.S. Congresswoman and chose to open fire on the line of people waiting to talk with their representative.  The massacre took place outside a Safeway shopping center, leaving a dozen people wounded and six people dead...

First Preferred Healthcare is a leading guaranteed issue health insurance provider. 
 
The Washington Post reported on Sunday that health professionals are at odds over one of the rules in the new health care law.  The issue on tap is how to go about keeping patients healthy (i.e. out of the hospital) and thereby lower costs to the broader health consumer.  The group tooled for upholding this goal is called an Accountable Care Organization, but there is no specific mandate on how to go about setting it up.  In other words, the ACO is just an acronym on paper for the moment...

This past week, Rasmussen reported that voters are now slightly more afraid of private insurance companies than a government-run plan.  In light of how much seething animosity was directed at the government prior to the Giffords shooting, this statistic is quite remarkable.  That being said, First Preferred wants to reassure you that there is nothing to fear on either side of the aisle.

Remember when a hard earned salary was enough to cover the cost of living for your day to day expenses?  Today, unless we’re talking about the Dollar Value menu at McDonalds or a cheap purchase at the Dollar Store, the U.S. dollar doesn’t feel like it always stretches very far.  Costs have continued increase for major expenditures while incomes haven’t changed that much at all.  For example, let’s take a look at the cost of caring for Diabetes....
