I thinks it's interesting to look back at articles every so often and see what has changed, if anything. And while it'sonly been 2 months since your article was published, not much progress has been made. There is one point that I would like to bring up that is unfortunate, at best. If left unchecked it could grow into a terrible situation.

While it is admirable that Ewing Moving Services give a bonus in lieu of providing insurance in hopes that their employees would find their own coverage. One could speculate that they are setting a large number of their employees up for failure.

In these difficult times... a bonus will be seen as just that, a bonus. Extra money to pay bills, Holiday pocketbook relief orjust the ability to make there be a little bit less month at the end of the money is most likely what any bonus will be seen as.

As a fitness professional and 27 year veteran of the health and wellness industry, I think that there should be much more talk about affordable preventative care. Not necessarily gym memberships (that's fine) but programs that will affectpeoples liveson the front end that are easily implemented and cost effective.

Sorry this is so long but whenyou really think about it, we're talking about peoples lives. I think that lives of my brothers and sisters all across the country are more important than politics.

Thanks for reading,
