Well, this is a light week for insurance traffic typically. Therefore, we let both of our vibrant and vital bloggers take some well deserved vacation time. That allows those of us who have been just waiting to express our opinions a chance to blog.

That being said, I wanted to applaud the diligent agents in this industry who are selling Long Term Care insurance. Being of the Generation BB era (Baby boomer that is), I am now thinking that LTC insurance is a great idea. But, it is just one of those things that is difficult to prioritize. My parents' generation had health insurance from their employers -- if they were lucky enough to retire. Those employers, along with long term employment even, are few and far between now, so Long Term Care is even more important. Every once in a while my conscience will remind me to pursue this issue. None the less, it is difficult to take action.

I just wanted to give a word of encouragement to those Long Term Care agents, as it is clear that it is going to take quite a while to get me to commit. However, my incredible slow pace or lack of response doesn't mean I don't want hear from you at all. It just means that with LTC, it is a slow and very soft sell. By the way, thanks for looking out for us BB's.

On a different note: no matter how you look at the Sicko movie, (and I'm thinking most of you aren't looking at it too kindly) the timing of the London and Glasgow car bombings attempts, allegedly by Great Britain's National Health Service physicians, couldn't have been worse for Michael Moore.
