Default Is It Friday Yet

What a f$cked up day, for me

Obamacare is already at work, one of the Health Insurance Carriers I represent has decided to pull the plug on Texas

Not only have 50% of my customers quit during this recession, this is the icing on the cake, now that my office went from 3 employees to myself this year

The health care isn't close to hitting bottom yet. Not as many kids going to school to be doctors anymore, many places have shortages for nurses. Many people will be dieing before they can be seen for treatment, really sad.

Another note, what is a Friday? I am working more than two weeks everyday without a day off, told boss I need two days so I can work on the car, then I will be working two or three weeks straight without a break again. Have to love system upgrades.

the "going home bell" will not ring soon enough tomorrow. 60 hours on the books, and still another day left to work this week.

Not to mention that my boss told me and the other supervisor Tuesday that we are teaming up with an ambulance company and going to send them all of our stretcher work, and they are going to send us all of their wheelchair work...being the stretcher division manager, I was not very thrilled about this info.

Unicare, was a huge player on the individual market, what my forte is, the good thing is my customers will have a guartanee issue with another carrier, Blue Cross Blue Shield

Unicare is owned by Blue Cross of Indiana, and the Texas Blue Cross block is owned my Obama, I mean Ililonis

The reason for the pull out is less competition is what Obama wants right
