    And we wonder why all the regulations about cell phones...

    Most of it is lawyer driven. That is why some (law firms) want to move the commercial liabilty of $750,000 to 4.5 million. It is all about the money. If this goes through, some of the smaller carriers will have to say good-bye. And of course, the bigger self insured outfits like JB, Schnieder...

    busness plan questions from an experienced newbie

    That is why I answered your post. Just for you to avoid that pitfall. If one is going to make that investment, they better know what they are doing. I wouldn't recommend anyone new buy a truck as the margins are tight an require a good amount of capital. That would mean at least driving a full...

    Health Insurance for Expediters; What do You See?

    Basically. If throwing all that money at poverty got some off of it, it would be great. Bad news is, as we pay more as a society, the rate of poverty keeps climbing. It is all about feeling entitled. We have spent over a trillion dollars on the "war on poverty", and it accomplished nothing...

    You are correct. A single payer system is what they are after. They have said that. The welfare folks are too blinded to see they are the ones that will ultimately get screwed in that process. All they see is "free" and they have no idea what is really coming.

    The whole premise of Obama care is for you to provide coverage for those that don't want to. Anything less of course would mean "you aren't doing your fair share".

    With a couple driving and have a income above 60k, there is no subsidy, For a solo it is I believe 28-29k.

    Health Insurance for Expediters; What do You See?

    I don't think anyone is saying that. It is more along the lines of "how much and for how long". Unless of course you are talking about the disabled or children. And what is poor? If the people that complain would look at what a standard of poor really is, they might have a different opinion if...

    How not to help the poor

    No not directed at anyone specific. Just a general observation that exists far beyond this website.

    Health Insurance for Expediters; What do You See?

    You know what they say when something is "free". They are going to have insurance that really has no value. So they basically will still have no coverage. Either because the deductible will be way out of reach or they can't find anyone to accept medicare. Already has started.

    How not to help the poor

    What I find interesting is the very people who trash churches and religion say very little about those churches that do help the poor or are disenfranchised. And that includes everything from food, clothing, housing, amongst several other things.

    I think you have to have available paying policy holders to cover the ones that get it for free. As it sits right now, they are not even close to having what they need. Of course they could always borrow more money. :rolleyes:

    Who is the carrier? May be of value to you to hear how busy others are at that carrier through those periods.

    busness plan questions from an experienced newbie

    Welcome aboard. Don't know who you drive for, so I couldn't say 500 a day is average or not. I can tell you, don't use the numbers or miles from a straight truck and think the van will perform in similar fashion. You may be disappointed if by chance that is the assumption. You may want to...

    There is a couple good things in there like the pre-existing clause or people not getting knocked off their insurance when they get sick. Thats about it and you didn't need Obamacare to do either one. So...without complicating the simple, if it was a good idea, the very people who wrote it...

    Not likely. I wouldn't worry too much unless they run out of money for rims, gold teeth, xboxes, 200 Micheal Jordon shoes, cable tv, big screens, cell phones and the list goes on. No need for them to go hungry at this point.

    Health Insurance for Expediters; What do You See?

    That is the part that many don't understand. As our debt climbs and the dollar loses value, the poor are hurt more than any other group. As for Obamacare, unless you are recieving free medicare, then not much to get excited about. Bad news is, well........one will find out soon enough. If...

    Have to show that information since you have a record 47 million on food stamps. No...you can just look at welfare for starters. And "our economy as a whole just shrugs it off and thrives" Really? What planet are you living on? We are 17 TRILLION in debt. But on a upside. 47M Americans...

    If everyone had your work ethic then we would be fine. Sadly, that isn't the case. You don't need tv or anything else to realize there is way too many on the government dole that shouldn't be. You say that is a small number and I have not seen a thing to support that. Welfare roles are the...
