There are many lucrative investments out there. I always tell people that saving is good, but investing is best. If you keep your money in the bank, you cannot make profits. You also have to give up a lot when it comes to saving. My advice is that before considering investing, you should consult an investment advisor first so you don't make a mistake or regret it later. I started Investment with the help of a financial expert Regina Louise Collaro , she is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. I earn on a monthly basis through passive income with her Financial aid

You are correct skoopqueen, I am only one of many who gained from working with Regina Louise Collaro. I had no reason to live when I lost my job due to COVID in 2020, and it will always be a memorable year in my life. Regina made it possible for me to live comfortably through passive income, thus I owe her my life. To be completely honest, I think she is an angel who was sent to help those who are struggling financially.

Thanks so much for seeing our comments and making this video! Once again I really learned a lot. I am a pre-medical student applying this cycle and I have recently gotten more into learning about health policy (how i found your videos!) can you please do a video that talks about the opportunities for an MD to get involved with policymaking and what it would look like as a future career? Just curious if you know more about these things. Looking forward to more videos!
@brinawang4 жыл бұрын
hey shailey! so glad you've found these videos educational and really great to hear about your policy interests. wishing you the best of luck in the app process! this is a really great question -- and I'm honestly still in the midst of fully figuring this out myself! so I'm not sure if I'm enough of an expert rn to do a whole video on how to incorporate both medicine and policy into a career, but I'll definitely keep this comment in mind for the future. what I will say, though, is that I've met a ton of physician-policymakers since starting my job in health policy research -- some of them are leaders in state Medicaid programs, some conduct health policy/economics research at a university or think tank, some work in journalism or advocacy, and some serve more as technical consultants, using their medical expertise to help advise policy-making decisions. some of them balance their policy work with clinical practice or medical education, and some of them do policy work full-time. there are a lot of different paths to getting involved in policymaking as an MD, so at this point I'd just encourage you to keep exploring your interests, both now and in med school. i.e. try out health policy research, join advocacy and policy-oriented student groups, and take policy electives or consider a dual degree program (MD/MPP, MD/MPH, MD/MBA, etc.) I'd also recommend following a few physician-policymakers on twitter; it's a quick way to get a feel for the landscape and what others' paths have been like (and I can provide a few suggestions for who to follow if you like.) lmk if you have any other questions, and thanks for watching & commenting! it's always so nice to see other premeds/med students that are interested in policy :)

There is nothing affordable about Obamacare/ACA. I pay $1437.00 per month for 2 people, that doesn't include copays. Nothing affordable about this, my health insurance coverage costs more than my monthly mortgage. Many insurance companies dropped out of the market place, not much to choose from. Btw, no pre existing conditions, both of us are healthy. We did have to change doctors, that saves us $400.00 per month. Nothing fancy with this plan, basic coverage in the event of a severe illness/accident. I do wish Trump would revise the marketplace, it needs to be done. This is what they are charging the average person. I don't qualify for any freebies because I work. $1437.00 PER MONTH FOR 2 PEOPLE.

yes and no. in terms of the Medicaid expansion piece, the federal government doesn't ask individual taxpayers to pay for Medicaid the way that you pay into Medicare -- in other words, there isn't a "Medicaid tax" that directly finances the program. but the federal government does collect revenue that includes corporate, individual, payroll, excise taxes, etc. and part of that revenue goes to programs like Medicaid (as well as defense spending, etc.) does that make sense?

Sounds like a con. maybe the wrong guy got hold of your card. The ACA is Obamacare. it is a law. it is not an employer. at most, maybe your employer would cover your healthcare. that happened regardless of the ACA. The ACA did mandate big businesses to cover employees, and all plans must cover certain things. but in that case, why would u pay. Employer plans usually do share at least some costs, but 6k in under 10 months? huh? for what? premiums? co insurance? I can't help because i don't have your bill or any ability to contact any employer u may have, but u can try. God speed
@alanlee672 жыл бұрын
Good info. The issue in the real world is that a lot of people forego health insurance deliberately to make their dollars go further. If you have working class immigrant parents, you may be familiar. The cost and deductible of the insurance you get doesn't really let you get great Healthcare. It's really for edge cases where someone has a very expensive emergency but the cost of doing that is the health of the overall US economy. If premiums go up, companies gotta cut costs and that means lower wages and less jobs. You didn't notice it because trump was so good on the economy but I'm sure you feel it now.
