Healthcare Rant

The healthcare system in the USA continues to be outrageously stupid! Medicare, a single payer universal coverage, uses less than 2% to pay administrative costs, while private insurance uses 20% for administrative costs, and much of that cost is used to figure out ways to deny coverage.

Our system is bloated and wasteful. It 's purpose is not what it purportedly claims. The costs to individuals and businesses is huge, but spread out and mixed in with everything else: to the glee of big insurance companies, the true cost is not easily segregated.

And when an insurance company is trying to deny your specific coverage, the tax is HUGE, and personal.

We need to end this system today.

We are documenting our POS system at work. Here is my favorite photo so far. It's called "Typical Power Supplies". The one on the right is called a "Wall Wart." Cool, huh?

Isaac's Restaurant Week

Here is a neat article about a guy I work with at Isaac's, Dave Leas. He discusses the restaurant business, his life, and his involvement in the Lancaster County Restaurant Week promotion. Enjoy!

Game 3 Win against Boiling Springs

Boiling Springs scored on a runback from the kick-off, but that was it for them. I think this ends our non league games with a record of 3-0. Very impressive. The parents were happy, in each game at the beginning, that the boys were able to hang in against Mt Carmel and Boiling Springs - but to dominate the games, that was something special for us to watch. I felt privileged to be a spectator.
