Why Disability laws are not "just" sometimes

Blogging is a way of personal freedom of expression on the views that affect people.

Part of the reasons why this blog was initially started was because of the hard circumstances that as author and other disabled individuals are undergoing due to their disability.

With the many facets of the medical, physical, mental, emotional and other health related issues, most of the problems that people with disabilities faced sometimes are legalities or the system it self.

Sometimes it's really funny why even TV advertisements' are made to challenge people who do not really honor the rights of people with disabilities. There are times even a chronically ill individual cannot even enjoy a peaceful remaining lifetime just because they cannot be given their disability benefits. For the most part, the big chunk of the game involves "money".

Forget about one's personally health condition but factor in the broken system. There are sometimes more loopholes just to deny or even grant approved disability benefits.

What needs to happen now is that the simple change of looking at this wrong loopholes for chronically ill people. Respect these people's dignity and remaining lifetime. Just like the saying we celebrate life when someone is gone to remember them but not when they were still alive and they needed help.

As the affordable health care for everyone is right now being discussed at this moment, why can't government maybe just look into the disability law challenges for people who have chronic illness? Then perhaps affordable health care can start with Social Security Disability Income? Why are some of these approved benefits not being given to really deserving ill individuals? What are these loopholes supposed to be in the disbaility income system? When will the real change begin so that the really needy people can be helped in this helpless plight. Do we have to wait again for another election so that issues can be opened up again for the poor and disabled?

Is "risk" a friend or foe especially in investment during bullish markets

As the saying goes, if you want to nurture great returns you have to take great risk. which is in the investing world is viewed as the higher the risks, then the assumption is on market volatility. For me, risks is an uncertainty for the fear of loss but it is there if we presume it as a loss then risk does not or will not exist, It is just like in the process of retail and the business model we use at Affordable Books. When buyers and competitors leverage on lower pricing to kill the smaller guy like us, the giants have the thinking that they have prevailed and created a more bigger opportunity for them. So a lot of the small independent sellers like us suffer and sometimes sadly think that the opportunity was not worth the effort all along. So the capitalistic behaviors is immediately "refocus and assess" the business risks and potentials towards viability. However, creatively speaking from an investment perspective point of view, we sometimes think that leveraging on le...

Health Insurance and Flexible Spending Accounts, Why Insurance Companies Suddenly Gets the Blowback

Image
  It was such an unfortunate and tragic inhumane attack on the recent CEO of United Healthcare and my thoughts and prayers of sympathy goes to his family. Although there are so much frustrations on the Healthcare patients affected by the Insurance Companies bureaucracy it is still not acceptable and humane that we instill hatred for one person. Yes, in this capitalist world it is a fact that those heading these for profit businesses are always driven towards making money for the business and stakeholders. And it is true that they get to be effective leaders by virtue of the profits these companies make in billions. It has also been a huge outcry of frustrations online to towards  lives lost, disabled and daily lives stop due to the bureaucracy imposed by Health Insurance companies.  One can basically start with BBB - Better Business Bureau complaints on companies like United Health Care.  I was reading on United Healthcare's response on a recent complaint: Business r...

Huge Disabilities Law Violations Resulted by the Economic Recession

With the economy on the dumps, a lot of employers, housing, and business entities are suddenly forgetting what the American Disabilities Act and Law is about. Either way, yes it is imperative that the culprit is "money", it does not mean that we forget that violations can cause us more than we are trying to save or cut in expenses. Some of these said rampant violations can be when employers are trying to cut down hours, laying off employees causing the remaining employees with disabiltiies undue hardships and unreasonable accomodations. So, if you feel that your employer is giving you injustice in terms of added task, more challenges as resulted from the recession, an individual with disability should not merely accept such terms but in turn should report these violations to the authorities. After all, people are human and we have limitations especially if you have an impairment. For housing laws for example, some landlords are suddenly forgetting about parking spaces, servi...
