Louisiana Healthcare Plans

Archive for July, 2010

Hello, I am currently with Ashford University and all though they are a "for profit" school, I wondering how I would be able to go to an actual university but still do it online. I can’t go to a traditional college being that I have a family. I did apply for Uof Louisiana in Monroe but they never gotten back to me. I do want to get my Masters in Healthcare Admin but as of right now, I am working on my Bachelors. Does anyone know the process of enrolling in a University that does distant learning? Thanks!!

Each school has its own rules about it. You can compare their rules and students feedback here – schools.iblogger.org

One form of health care reform is to stop our dependence on health insurance for all medical care. Many patients do not purchase comprehensive insurance because they do not think that it is a good deal. When medical fees are fair patients paying for their health care can save greatly compared to the cost of insurance. No Insurance Surgery provides this cost savings to many patients from all across the country.

The capping of the broken oil well comes as welcome news for those along the Gulf Coast, but people there are far from celebrating. At the posh MiLa restaurant in downtown New Orleans, oil has already changed the menu.

“Lately, we’ve been buying black bass from North Carolina, Alaskan Halibut, and oysters from Connecticut,” said Slade Rushing, chef and owner of MiLa.

Creeping crude has marred the perception of Louisiana seafood, but even with BP saying it has now covered the broken oil well, the comfort that follows is not without worry.

“We’re all just kind of walking on egg shells and keeping our fingers crossed,” said Rushing. “We’ll see.”

Along parts of coastal Louisiana, the reality is the fear and frustration has not stopped even though the gushing oil has. The problems are still flowing.

“We might be out of business five, maybe 10 years,” said Belle Bundy, owner of a seafood loading dock in Lafitte.

At a meeting aimed at comforting residents about a new independent claims process, many filtered out of the Lafitte Convention Center with more concerns than when they arrived, Raymond Griffin among them.

“The oil is still out there, it hasn’t magically disappeared just because they put a cap on it,” said Griffin. “We wish it would, it hasn’t.”

We first met Griffin in early June. Oil turned his charter fishing business into a bust and his lodge a ghost town.

“We don’t know if we’re ever going to open back up,” said an emotional Griffin on June 3. “I mean how tough is that?”

Now he’s waging yet another battle: BP’s claims process. For two months of lost work, he says he showed BP piles of paperwork proving a shortfall of about $120,000. The oil company, he says, offered him $24,000.

“My health insurance is $3,000 a month, my wife’s chemo medicine is $900 month,” said Griffin. “My apartment complex…that we own, where our people stay is $3,000 month, our utilities is $2,000 for our fishing lodge, plus our taxes and flood insurance and other things, so it doesn’t add up.”

As residents head home from the claims meeting in Lafitte, cleanup crews down the road prepare for the night shift. Pristine white boom lay ready to be deployed, ready to soak up the crude. The scene is somber, but now routine.

“The oil is still going to move with winds, the tides, and the currents,” said Dr. LuAnn White, a toxicologist at Tulane University. “So it’s likely we’ll still see oil coming on shore for a period of time.”

Despite the cap in the Gulf, few things have changed along the Louisiana coast and likely won’t for awhile. From the docks of Lafitte to the kitchens of New Orleans, there is now a new normal, one that’s still hard to swallow.
