Do you know your health care coverage can be rescinded and your bills go unpaid even after a procedure or treatment has been approved by your insurance company? Think this can't happen? Think again.

In a government meeting recently to discuss health care insurance practices and possible solutions, all three insurance companies represented refused to agree that they would not rescind care previously approved for any reason other than fraud. In fact, it was discovered that employees were rewarded when they rescinded the care of policy holders.
If this isn't an outrage, I don't know what is.

Over 50, rocking, ruling, and other assorted noises.....
There seem to be a proliferation of web sites right now geared toward our generation and especially to the Baby Boomer woman. All of them call on us to loudly state how we are many in number, full of spirit and knowledge and energy; that we have a lot to offer; that we are a force to be reckoned with and [my favorite], that we rule and we rock.
Frankly, I'm getting a little sick of it.
What benefit does it serve to go around bragging that we're women over 50, we rule, rock, and make other unnecessary noises?
My thought is that we are only as valuable as our actions. Gather our forces together. Fine. Then do something, make yourself useful.
But stop it already with all the back-patting.
No one cares unless something productive hapens. This is a country of doers, not sayers.
We were a formidable generation because we made change happen.
Then if we're still so great, let's do it again.
Vote, go out in support of a cause, start your own if you have to.
Write articles, make phone calls, write a book.
But do something other than sitting around on a web site self aggrandizing about how great we all are and how we should be respected and not forgotten because of it.
Yes, I'm proud to be a Baby Boomer. And I'm especially proud to be a Boomer woman.
But I'm also proud of my experience and my business and my writing and the plans I have for the future.
How about you?
