Did I really just read an editorial in Newsweek by an insurance company CEO who is sick of getting blamed for the state of health care?  Are you fucking kidding me?

First of all, the complaint starts as his masseuse says "isn't it too bad that insurance won't cover this?"  I'm sorry you can't enjoy your massage, you evil prick, but please fuck off now.  You run a business which preys on the fears of people by selling them policies it never intends to pay.  You refuse payment as a fucking business model, knowing that the longer you refuse to pay, the more money you make.  You have bean counters making de facto medical decisions, when patients, doctors, specialists, etc. all disagree.  I'm sorry people are unhappy with the fact that you won't cover stuff that might actually alleviate some pain, but I understand actually making good on your policies would hurt your precious bottom line.

I hope socialized medicine finally comes to this country and your business goes into the shitter. But not before you contract a debilitating and painful disease, that your own insurance won't cover.  Barring these happy occurences, I'm sure you'll be in the first group against the wall when the revolution comes.

Having experienced a jump in traffic here after working on my Mom's site, I've been forced to face how woefully out of date my site is.  I've been neglecting it horribly while working on innumerable other projects.  I have a giant redesign of the site planned, but I can't seem to find the time to do it.  Coming first on the list of things of more importance then redesigning my personal site seem to be:

Wife and kids

College (I'm majoring in graphic and web design at MCTC right now)

BUG (novel with mom--currently a touch late)

PokerXFactor work

Fixing my #$&*^#$ PC so I can do above PXF work

JaneYolen.com

ascwpartnership.com

Soccer (coaching 5/6 grade soccer at my kid's school  It's super fun and we're undefeated!)

Fall Poker Classic

Add book trailer link on janeyolen.com

Book trailers (go to janeyolen.com and click on Book Trailer link to see them as soon as I get the link up)

...and a few other things I'm certain are falling through the cracks while I post this blog.
