Understanding medicare and other health insurance products
by Ravi on Nov.18, 2009, under Where To Put It?
Medicare is a GREAT health insurance program!! The problem is most people feel intimidated by it. They are overwhelmed by the choices and get frustrated and ultimately turned off by the whole system. That is unfortunate, but hopefully this article will clear up some of these issues.
Medicare is a health insurance program designed for seniors (people 65 & older) and people with certain disabilities. It covers Hospitalization costs (Medicare Part A) and doctors or outpatient services (Medicare Part B). It was signed into law in 1965 by Lyndon B. Johnson. It has gone through many changes over the years and now there is also Medicare Part C (also called Medicare Advantage) and Medicare Part D (prescription Drug coverage).

The Big Win
by Ravi on Mar.02, 2008, under General
I happened to know that some cricket match between India and South Africa is going on. And another match between India and Australia is going on. I dont want to waste time googling for it, but if Im right, its the Under 19 worldcup match between the Junior Indians between India and South Africa, while the seniors are playing Australia.
I also happen to hear that India won againstthe Aussies. Everyone is talkin about that today in Chennai. Just like they did on Oct 31st 1981 in London, when they thought Voldemort died.
And what a day it was. It started yesterday, NDTV announced that today is the BIG sunday, and that India is playing against Australia.
Today I went to a nearby bar to get drunk. Sunday Customaries. There I met a forigner. What the fuck is he doing in Chennai? Well, he claimed that he is an author, he publishes books, and writes. He said that and started talking to me and the few people around me, sitting in the Bar Stools.
Blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla
Finally, I asked him if he was British, or a South African or an Aussie. I couldnt get it from his accent. He said Im an Aussie Mate. I said great, Im leaving. Bye.
He was talking about Don Bradman and Sachin, blablablablabla………………………………………………………..
Richard McLean (A friend of mine in Australia), Dude, if you are reading this, forgive me if you think that I have made any racist comments against a fellow Aussie at Chennai .
