FREELOADIN’
Jul 31st
Apparently some legislation was passed earlier this week that allows young adults to continue coverage on their parent’s health insurance until the age of 30. Governor Paterson wanted to address the concerns of young adults under thirty who are either convinced they don’t need health insurance or those that don’t receive benefits at their entry level positions. This is pretty big news considering the state of the economy and the fact that thus far, young adults were usually cut off at the age of 19.
Long Live Health-Care! That is to say if american parents can afford to keep paying for their freeloading children!
ZAMBIKE
Jul 30th
Zambikes, a business venture between two American and two South African entrepreneurs, is an extremely interesting company to say the least. The Zambike product is very much immersed into the Zambian community, proper. Much of the demand comes from local businesses that wish to supply more cost effective and environmentally conscious forms of transportation for their employees. Zambike also apparently is available to consumers around the world.
What’s most interesting about the company is their newest product. Bamboo bike-frames, made in association with Craig Calfee and his Bamboosero Project, have definitely proved to be a breath of life into the business. It’s pretty easy to appreciate when people think outside of the conventional to create a product that’s less taxing on the environment while also advancing the industry.

QCK POINTS ON HEALTH-CARE
Jul 28th
WHY THE RUSH?
Spin – Obama is being accused of trying to rush Health-care reform in order to satisfy his own political agenda.
Idea – Obama is trying to produce the most change. As long as it remains on the floor, it is open to more speculation and republicans (as well as more conservative democrats) will find ways to bargain in favor of maintaining the broken system of healthcare that Americans are currently subjected to.
THEY TOOK OUR HEALTH-CARE!
Idea – Health-care will be available to a the “vast majority” if not every American.
Spin – Illegal immigrants could possibly receive Health-care under new plan due to a loop hole.
CADILLAC PLANS
Idea – Reduce the tax breaks that are available to higher income Americans (applies to people who gross more than $1,000,000 annually)
Spin – Obama wants us to all to accept a lower quality of Health-care, so that it will be available to more Americans.
DEBT, DEBT & MORE DEBT!
Spin – We have spent too much money already! Obama is simply trying to run us into more debt!
Idea – Yes! It is going to cost a lot to address and restructure the inefficiencies of our current system. This change is necessary for our already in debt nation to recover and work towards getting out of debt. What people need to realize is that it is an INVESTMENT. Eventually, or ideally rather, this money will help to reform the system and make a more competitive market for health insurers and Health-care providers ultimately leading toward a more progressive system over all. He uses the analogy of paying to keep your house heated. If you could warm your house by INVESTING in insulation and in turn saving money on your bills to the electric(or other utility) company, why would you not? He goes on to say that you would still be just as warm and yet you would be paying less.
What is your take?
39 DAYS TO MARS
Jul 28th
New Scientist has recently published an article indicating that we could theoretically reach mars in approximately 39 days with ion engine powered by a nuclear reactor. How far away we are from this technology, or whether or not it is likely to develop is not very clear.
Interesting nonetheless. In my humble opinion anyway. Learn more here
