"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

My premiums are up 20% again this year!! This is unbelievable. I have to pay for the fact that there's some irresponsible idiots out there who refuse to buy a health insurance plan, and instead just run into the ER when they are sick, not pay the bill, get their credit damaged, and the hospital has to write it off.

I'm so sick and tired of a Government that makes the responsible pay for the actions of the irresponsible.

I have always said that those people who couldn't afford health insurance that wanted it, should get on a Government plan. Those who have a major illness that had health insurance that a loophole within the health insurance makes it so that the Insurer won't cover it, those are the people the Government should bail out.

The idiots who run into the ER without any health insurance, who COULD have had a plan but chose to spend their money on a chick's shopping habits instead, are the ones that WE have to bail the hell out! It's crap!

It's a mess. Healthcare insurance is now a tax, and the healthcare industry is largely allowed to price healthcare as if it was private market. There's no accountability on how consumers use healthcare since they don't direct pay and there's no accountability on pricing and cost.

Bottom line, when the government gets involved in anything that should be handled by private enterprise, things go down hill really fast and hardly ever get better.

Sorry what does this have to do with Obamacare?

People have been guaranteed treatment at the ER since the 80s. One thing Ocare does is oblige people to get regular insurance, which will allow them to see regular doctors, not the ER for every little thing.

Ignorance is man's oldest foe.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

It's a healthcare tax shouldered mostly by the middle class and lower middle class.

Everyone was warned about this before the law was passed, there shouldn't be any surprises. Plus, you can't fault people without insurance because they existed before ACA and your premiums probably weren't raised like this. Chalk it up to policies being mandated by the Government to have coverage for things that you may not ever need.
