Stay Smart, Stay Healthy

This is a video series my team (Marketing New Media) at Humana has been working on this year. It's basically healthcare 101 that explain the ins and outs of health insurance and how it works.

Topics like "Health Savings Accounts", "Why Is Healthcare So Expensive?" and "How Does Insurance Work?" are all covered in these short, entertaining, and informative videos.

Take a look and let me know what you think, until next time stay smart and stay healthy.

Coming Together, Moving Forward

Barack Obama in Louisville, KY

Just think, a few months ago the Democratic Party was torn in half between Hillary and Barack. And Rush Limbaugh encouraged conservatives to put up Clinton signs in their yards during the primaries to keep it that way. Now look who’s in turmoil – the Republicans. It doesn’t feel so good does it?

Now the Democrats and most of the country are united and the Republicans are playing the blame game. I know how it feels and I hate to see it. They are licking their wounds now, but give them some time and they’ll start working together again.

I always thought America would elect a black president in my lifetime, but I didn’t think it would be until I was in my 50s or 60s. I feel like America has time traveled about 25 years into the future and I’m more proud of our country than ever.

During Obama’s victory speech I thought of the struggles that African Americans have gone through. While I'm about as white as white can be, I am a person who relates to others well, and I tried to imagine what this must mean for blacks everywhere. Barack's thoughtful words that night brought tears to my eyes and a sense of hope I have been lacking in my country.

I have had the honor of hearing the president elect 2 times in person, and I look forward to what he and his administration will do for us and the world. We've got very high expectations of him and we has tough road head, let's hope he delivers.
