Health Bill Going Through Minnesota House of Congress Right NOW!!!!

There has been so much talk about the new Health Reform Bill, did anyone realize there is a bill going through the MN House right now!!! There is a bill moving through the Minnesota House right now that attempts to deal with the problem of pre-existing conditions when attempting to purchase insurance.

The Bill that Obama signed is rally all I've heard about. I must say am a little surprised that the Government can soon fine us, if we don't have health insurance. Martha Sommerfeld, likes the bill for the most part. Not too long ago when her husband was laid off work they were denied by Blue Plus because of their pre-existing conditions. Judy Meyers really dislikes the bill she said "Just another way to cut into our constitutional rights".

Senator Perry was very kind to let me know his thoughts on the issue. He believe's that there are people who like the health system the way it is right now, and people who like the reform. He also said that it should be left up to the states. It goes into the tenth amendment.

Wikipedia.com listed:
The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution's principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states by the constitution of the United States are reserved to the states or the people.

Economic Hardships are Inevitable

Today almost every way you look there’s an economic up and down. Every person eventually goes through some ups and downs. You will never know what each day will bring you, when it comes to the economy. I know some members of my family and friends are facing hardships everyday. It can be anywhere from a layoff, pay cuts, losing a home to foreclosure, unexpected expenses; the list can go on and on.

As I think of how the economy has affected my family in the last 2 years it’s amazing how much change we adapted to. Here’s a brief summary of how things changed for me at work. I work for a family-owned company, when I started in 2006 it was Landmark Mortgage by the end of 2007 the mortgage company no longer existed. When the mortgage industry crashed it was a dominoes effect.. Boulder creek took off mid 2007 and is still holding on strong as a home improvement company. I was laid off for the first time in 2009, due to slow production. It was completely unexpected. We got through it and I was called back in March. Last summer they re-focused on helping homeowners with storm damage. Now we are offering attic insulation inspections. That’s a lot of change in a few years if you ask me. As the spring months return I can’t wait to start helping homeowners with storm damage again! The company has stayed strong since the 1st lay off. Although I was often uncertain at times if we would be laid off again this winter, but we weren’t. I hope things will stay strong with the company; I enjoy working there and it pays the bills!
