Too good *not* to post

Unvetted from the web:


I've reached out to Mr Alameddine in an effort to ascertain from whence he obtained his screenshot. It's not from the 404Care.gov site (I've been on that enough times to know) but perhaps from a state-based Exchange or carrier website? Will update this post as appropriate.

Ft Mac & Insurance Losses

Image
First, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and firefighters dealing with the horrendous fires in Alberta. One can only imagine their heartache and fear. Many (most?) of those affected will be insured. This includes home and business owners, those with private passenger cars and large commercial vehicles, and everything in between. Hopefully, there won't be too many life insurance claims. In a surprising (to me, at least) development, it turns out that the insured losses from these fires will likely hit Canada's economy even worse than Katrina affected ours: " Intact Financial Corp. may post insured losses of as much as C$1.1 billion ($850 million) from the wildfires in Alberta, which could dent the Canadian economy harder than Hurricane Katrina hit the U.S. " Canada's economy is, of course, smaller than ours (at least for now), so this makes sense.

SEP Clarification

The folks at CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) emailed to let us know that they have an updated list of the 6 Special Enrollment Period triggers. These are all pretty routine, but I thought this was interesting.

Also, moving only for medical treatment or staying somewhere for vacation doesn�t qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period ." Who says bureauweenies have no sense of humor?

Absolutely Amazing Customer Service Experience

Over the years, we've been pleased to blog on some really exceptional customer service experiences ( here and here , for example). And now we have another one to report. For more than a few years, I've been cajoling my Better Half to hire a service to install mulch for us. This year, she finally relented and, as is her wont, began detailed research on the best and most cost effective vendor. After considering a handful of quotes, she chose Joe's Landscaping in Beavercreek, OH (motto: " Not Your Average Joe ")( really !), and they came out this morning to do their thing. The first thing that caught my attention was their professional attire, and then how respectful and helpful they were as I asked questions about the process and walked them around the abode pointing out where mulch needed to go. The second thing I noticed was how cool the equipment was: instead of dumping a load of mulch on the driveway and then hauling it around in wheelbarrows shoveling hither ...
