I didn't realize this until last week when I was writing an article for one of my clients: How to sell your house fast when you have huge medical bills. I guess when you think about it, it makes sense. Medical bills can be huge, especially if you have a serious illness.
And, it often becomes a double whammy as you have large bills and often if you aren't well, you're not able to work, or else can't work to your full capacity. It really can become a viscious cycle.
It just got me a little sad when I learned this. I mean, I get it. But still, it makes me sad. Without getting political here (and please don't go there), I really wish for the day where our country solves this whole health care thing. It's hard enough when you have a serious medical issue, but to have to worry about money at the same time or to worry about whether your care is being compromised? Not good.
Anyway, I did learn a lot about things work in the process of my research. I hope that my blog post is helpful to those that are in need and that they find it when they need help.
On a separate note, I wrote another article on my own blog about the Safest flooring options for older adults or those looking to age in place. The idea behind this is to prevent falls. Apparently, 25% of adults 65 and older fall each year, and of those 20% of those falls results in a broken bone of head injury. That is just staggering.
Broken bones are NOT fun. I went through that myself 3 years ago with my foot. And, if you are older...or if it's a larger bone (e.g. a hip), it can take much longer to heal. Besides the fact that this isn't fun and it really impacts your mobility, it can really cost a lot of extra money, especially if you are older and need to pay for help.
So, this blog post strives to provide safety tips and the best types of flooring by room so that you are less likely to have a fall...and if you do have a fall, these types of flooring will give you some more cushioning and shock absorption. I hope it comes in handy.
