■ LifeHealthPro's AllisonBell has some disheartening news about critical illness plans:
"Officials are ... thinking about the possibility of banning the sale of critical illness policies and other policies that cover two or more specific diseases"
The Bureauweenies in DC© see these plans as some kind fo threat to ObamaPlans, as if they were an alternative when in fact they are useful supplements.
■ FoIB Holly R reminds us that even pot-smokers need life insurance, but what effect will marijuana use have when they apply for a policy? As always, this will depend on the carrier, but some companies are more, um, liberal than others when it comes to Mary Jane:
"29 percent classify marijuana users as nonsmokers, potentially allowing them to qualify for the best nonsmoker rates:"
Sweet.
■ Last we looked, so-called "Junior Doctors" working for the Not So Vaunted National Health Service© had called for a major work slowdown. So how'd that work out?
Oh:
"The NHS is paying junior doctors to learn how to land lucrative new jobs outside medicine"
Fewer doctors, better health care.
Got it.
