985603 57781035 An Eventualist’s Guide to Health Care Reform

Well, it eventually happened viagra online pharmacy.  Sort of cialis.

President Obama signed off on the bill (therefore making it law…much in the same way that a waitress signs your restaurant bill, making it law) that begins the process of health care reform for all Americans.  Sort of viagra.

As a Canadian, I’m quite happy with the system works; even as an Eventualist it does right by me viagra.  I get health care coverage, but in an eventual manner.  I get operated on, but I have to wait my turn.  In fact, I liken our system to the children’s game Duck, Duck, Goose – only with millions playing.  When I’m finally tagged, I run around in circles until I am able to get a spot in line.  The game continues endlessly .  The way the American system worked was more like the children’s game The Farmer In The Dell, except that because you were a farmer you received no health care coverage.  Farming is passed on from generation to generation so it is considered a pre-existing condition.

It is understandable that there’s a 50/50 split among those wanting health care reform versus those who also wanted health care reform.  If you’re an Eventualist, however, you are at an advantage here.  You see, Eventualists control their own fate when it comes to health care and, by default, health care reform.  Here are some tips on how to take advantage of the changes that are coming, both eventually and less than eventually.

  1. If you’re under 26, stay living with your parents until you are.  You fall under their coverage.  Doing so saves you money and eats away at what’s left of their lives that much faster.  If you’re able, have kids while you’re living with your parents so that when you move out they still have to cover your child.  Sure, it means leaving your child at Grandma and Grandpa’s, but who doesn’t want that?
  2. Both yearly and lifetime caps are going, going, gone.  The only way your insurance company won’t cover you is if they ever run out of money.  It’s a well-known fact that large insurance companies never go out of business eventually.
  3. Seniors get $250 worth of doughnut holes with their coffee. Eventually this will stop, though, when all doughnut shops are closed off for seniors. Or so I’ve heard at my local lawn bowling club.
  4. Small businesses are getting tax breaks if they offer coverage.  This will allow them to eventually become larger thanks to large profits due to tax breaks so that they don’t have to provide coverage anymore.  If that changes and they still have to provide coverage, then they’ll go with the way of large insurance companies.
  5. Pre-existing conditions become meaningless when it comes to coverage starting in 2014 – you’ll have to be covered.  If possible, hold off getting one until then.  As an Eventualist, this should come quite easily.  If you’re new to the fold, just keep reading this blog and anything else I create in the name of the ideology…it has built-in healing power.

Those are some of the basics…but the biggest thing you can do as an Eventualist is what most do already: delay seeing your doctor for as long as you can.  That way, the only person you end up hurting is yourself.   And if you’re already hurt anyway…

For more on health care reform, visit Wikipedia.  I even base my own memories on it…and it has yet to let me down.

Why I Love NCAA Sports

March 23, 2010

It’s not very often I refer to the sporting life here at Eventualism.  Mind you, it is one of the things you can do to pass time and further your EffTD abilities.  Take baseball, for example.  It’s America’s pastime…that term is a derivative of “pass time.”  While virtually every sport insists that its spectators make [...]
