The Bionic man

When I was younger, I used to kid about being alive as long as spare parts could be found.

That is no longer a joke!

  • My left knee has been replaced with a chunk of titanium that sets off alarms every time I try to board an airplane or even get into a school.
  • My abbs have been replaced by some sort of mesh.
  • By the start of the new year I’ll have new lenses in both eyes.

An appointment with a Urologist tells me another operation may be looming.

One of my clients calls me the 6-Million Dollar Man.

Given the price of healthcare that is a pretty good estimate. Seriously. My pharmacist asked me if I wanted to see the value of one of my prescriptions. Without insurance the price for 90 days of pills would have been $2500. With insurance it was still nearly $500!

A friend of my ex-wife was diagnosed with Cancer. The only treatment that worked cost over $80,000 per treatment. The charity trying to help him could only afford one treatment even though he was renowned in his own land.

Spare parts aren’t cheap.

Without insurance the only option is to become a cripple or wither and die. There are no other choices. When you are young you tend to not notice as you are healthy. But as you age you begin to feel what your negligence has reaped. You begin to get accustomed to aches and pains, so accustomed that when they aren’t there you feel something is wrong.

You can make a difference.

If you are an employer, include medical insurance in your remuneration of all employees. All of them. Full time and Part Time. Whatever their level of education they need this boon from you. Whatever their age, they need to know their health is important to you.

The Takeaways:

  1. Sooner or later you, too, will be looking at becoming at least partially bionic,
  2. You may be healthy now but will it last?
  3. Aches and pains go with aging. Find out why it hurts.
