With natural disasters so prevalent these days, the one thing we can take away is the need for insurance. Hurricane Katrina showed us the need for flood insurance. The Southern California wildfires have showed us the need for fire insurance. And so on. Estimates of some 40 percent of New Orleans residents had no form of flood insurance pre Katrina even though the New Orleans is a high flood risk area. This is not at all out of the norm. It’s estimated that only about a quarter of homes in high risk areas are even insured for fire or flood insurance. This is unfortunate because flood insurance is some of the most affordable insurance available. It may take some individuals a lifetime to realize the American dream and purchase a home, but we’ve seen first hand how quickly that dream can be destroyed. So, if we can take anything good away from these recent disasters it’s the importance of being protected, especially for higher risk areas. Flood insurance isn’t the only important form of insurance. Disability insurance provides protection for you and your family as well. The question you need to ask yourself is that will you be able to provide for your family if you were unable to work. Disability insurance is a very valuable form of insurance that protects your income. It’s not just for the construction worker who needs to protect against injury. It is actually quite common for sickness or illness to sideline your career. Some 12 percent of the working class will have a disability lasting greater than 5 years before they retire. That’s a large number and a long time to go without income. You can’t just rely on workers compensation, as the accident would have to happen at work. Again, it’s important to remember that most disabilities happen from illness and not injury. Disability insurance protects against both. |

Fortunately, Ivy Medical School is very supportive of those who have been out for a few years. My experience is that many schools (especially the top ten) are biased against those that take a non-traditional path to medicine. They question our motivation, which is perverse to me. After all, we are the ones that are making the biggest sacrifice by leaving our existing careers (in many cases, vs Paris going to Heaven? I don’t think I need to say much more here…go to jail, find God. Do you think she got that Bible from the dresser at the Hilton? Way to go Mr. Publicist. Way to go overboard, that is.ery profitable ones, and medicine ain’t what is used to be in the money-making arena). Fortunately, Ivy does recognize the talents and diversity that non-traditional students like me bring to the table. So I’m not alone here. Ok, I am irked. Some of my fellow bloggers have been critical of me referring to presidents by just their last name, and not always attaching the title of “President” whenever I refer to any President. Well, what happens when the White House disses a former president? I am referring to the sta bilder 1 2 |tement from the White House Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto today, “striking back” against statements that President Jimmy Carter made about the current Bush administration. Carter said in a recent interview that was published in an Arkansas newspaper, “I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history.” The White House responded by calling Carter’s opinion “reckless” and “I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments.” “Sacha Baron Cohen has signed up to do a sequel to his popular Borat movie based on the controversial Kazach journalist, according to Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corp, whose film division last year released the first Borat film. |
