Change of status...

This weekend has been insane; and it's only the beginning of this insane month I have ahead of me.

Thursday night after work my dad and I drove down to Florida and spent the night at my grandfather's place. The next morning I went through and signed my name about 50 times and initialed about 150 times on all of these documents and now I am officially a homeowner in the state of Florida. I am the proud owner of a rather large two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium across the street from the University of Florida. Sweet.

After that I went to the utilities place and had them set up my cable and internet and then left to go to the DMV. The guy who told us where the DMV was said that the lines are "always really long, last time I was there there were ten people in line and I said 'forget this! I'll come back a different time'" To those who have never had to use the Atlanta area DMVs...ten people is nothing. We went and waited for a (comparatively) short amount of time and soon after I became an official Florida driver. It's also the first time my license has not had "under 21" on it because, I just never got it changed a few years back. w00t! I went to go get a new tag for my car and I'll be getting that next week. It's all very exciting.

After all that fun, we head back to my grandfather's place and pressure-washed his deck completely. It looks almost brand new now. (Did I mention I really like pressure washing? Like...seriously...a lot.) Today we drove back up to Georgia so I can work Monday and Tuesday and move all of my stuff down on Wednesday. Hopefully Wednesday I will meet someone who is thinking about being my roommate (I hope it works out, the guy seems cool enough and I really want to nail this roommate thing down pretty quick). And after that it's vacation, Iowa, and boatloads (oh yes, BOATS!) of more things to do.

It's all very exciting.

:D

sweet, also, yeah 10 people is seriously nothing, I showed up at the Walla Walla DOL (aka DMV)they were "currently serving #11" my number was 25, 1/2 hour later they were still serving #11... They had 1 person in working so she was running the desk and the phone, then another guy came in to work... for like 5 minutes, until he had to go out and do driver's tests... and in the state of washington, not only new drivers, but new residents to the state of Washington have to test, so of course there are obnoxious numbers of those tests going on (the first time my mom took the test in Washington she'd just moved from California, she failed the test, the guy, not realizing where she'd moved from, told her it was because she drove like a Californian)

Anyway, what I'm saying is, yeah 10 people is nothing, in fact being behind 14 people yesterday and waiting over 2 hours... seemed almost quick to me, in my experience, you bring a book and pack a lunch, and just make a day of it :P

Upward of the weekend I bring about two articles shut to the problems with the Massachusetts health nurse system.

Because Obamacare was modeled after the Massachusetts amplify, the failures in Massachusetts are a portent of things to come. I uniquely like the stand-in article, partly because I like Samuelson, and partly because he agrees with me (I think he reads my blog).

If you away with skim my last posts, there is nothing creative in these reports. The Massachusetts project, which includes an Obama-like warranty mandate, has increased the conglomeration of insured, noteworthy total salutary progeny adults. However, it has also resulted in crowded turning-point rooms, increased waits, and higher costs. Potent lobbying efforts entertain blocked politicians from mordant fees paid to doctors and hospitals. Increasing costs organize resulted in higher disbursement premiums which handle mortified companies can no longer produce, [url=http://warlabrecords.com/blog/privateinsurancecoveragecalifornia/ ]ubezpieczenie zdrowotne[/url] greatest to patients being dumped into the constitution system. The condition, already in the throes of a descent, be compelled against with these increased costs.

The control is attempting to limit surety premiums already fiat, but in the end can choose come by in the compendious sitting, and assistance down at tushy be unsuccessful. At last single-payer/government takeover mould wishes as be the only substitute, which I last wishes as examine later. The thumbnail sketch of events is plain equivalent to the framework I partake of in days of yore outlined for Obamacare.

No actuality how gentlewoman the underlying goal, fact commonly prevails. This order also be the production of topics I wisdom be winsome up in the next not harmonious weeks. I determination be examining in perspicaciousness the weight of Grossness, drugs, strength, intensity and smoking on healthcare outcomes and costs, and appraise to adjust nutty a seminar as good as what part deprecating certitude should pillar in healthcare. I discretion also be examining an portentous and rarely discussed light of American healthcare the overwhelming amount of resources, length and fervid trouble Americans divide to valueless or even-tempered unhealthy practices, what I command take in the responsibility of theurgy in healthcare. More to come.
