Evaluating Health Insurance Options: Ronald Roth started his new job as controller with Aerosystems today. Carole, the employee benefits clerk, gave Ronald a packet that contains information on the company’s health insurance options. Aerosystems offers its employees the choice between a private insurance company plan (Blue Cross/Blue Shield), an HMO, and a PPO. Ronald needs to review the packet and make a decision on which health care program fits his needs. The following is an overview of that information.
a. The monthly premium cost to Ronald for the Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan will be $42.32. For all doctor office visits, prescriptions, and major medical charges, Ronald will be responsible for 20 percent and the insurance company will cover 80 percent of covered charges. The annual deductible is $500.
b. The HMO is provided to employees free of charge. The copayment for doctors’ office visits and major medical charges is $10. Prescription copayments are $5. The HMO pays 100 percent after Ronald’s copayment. There is no annual deductible.
c. The POS requires that the employee pay $24.44 per month to supplement the cost of the program with the company’s payment. If Ron uses health care providers within the plan, he pays the copayments as described above for the HMO. He can also choose to use a health care provider out of the service and pay 20 percent of all charges after he pays a $500 deductible.
The POS will pay for 80 percent of those covered visits. There is no annual deductible.
Ronald decided to review his medical bills from the previous year to see what costs he had incurred and to help him evaluate his choices. He visited his general physician four times during the year at a cost of $125 for each visit. He also spent $65 and $89 on prescriptions during the year. Using these costs as an example, what would Ron pay for each of the plans described above? (For the purposes of the POS computation, assume that Ron visited a physician outside of the network plan. Assume he had his prescriptions filled at a network-approved pharmacy.
Questions:
What annual medical costs will Ronald pay using the sample medical expenses provided if he were to enroll in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan?
What total costs will Ronald pay if he enrolls in the HMO plan?
If Ronald selects the POS plan, what would annual medical costs be?
Life Insurance for Young Married People
Jeff and Ann are both 28 years old. They have been married for three years, and they have a son who is almost two. They expect their second child in a few months. Jeff is a teller in a local bank. He has just received a $60-a-week raise. His income is $960 a week, which, after taxes, leaves him with $3,200 a month. His company provides $50,000 of life insurance, a medical/hospital/surgical plan, and a major medical plan. All of these group plans protect him as long as he stays with the bank.
When Jeff received his raise, he decided that part of it should be used to add to his family’s protection. Jeff and Ann talked to their insurance agent, who reviewed the insurance Jeff obtained through his job. Under Social Security, they also had some basic protection against the loss of Jeff’s income if he became totally disabled or if he died before the children were 18. But most of this protection was only basic, a kind of floor for Jeff and Ann to build on. For example, monthly Social Security payments to Ann would be approximately $1,550 if Jeff died leaving two children under age 18. Yet the family’s total expenses would soon be higher after the birth of the second baby. Although the family’s expenses would be lowered if Jeff died, they would be at least $500 a month more than Social Security would provide.
Questions:
In your opinion, do Jeff and Ann need additional insurance? Why or why not?
What type of policy would you suggest for Jeff and Ann? Why?

What effect does participation in team sports have on the mental health of youth?

What effect does participation in team sports have on the mental health of youth?

They Say/Common Ground: In recent discussions of the impact that team sports have on mental health amongst adolescents, a controversial issue has been whether participating is more beneficial than damaging or more damaging than beneficial. One the one hand, some argue that team sports help children release anger and stress. From this perspective, team sports are perfect for adolescents and can work as an outlet from other stressors they deal with as they grow up.

I Say/Problem: My own view is that team sports aren’t for everybody. Though I concede and believe that team sports have changed my life and molded me for the good, I still maintain that there is a chance that it can be a negative. For example, my role on a team sport was more of a dominant position, so from my perspective the team relied heavily on me but what would be the perspective of a person who wasn’t as heavily relied on by the team. Although some might object that every role on a team is equally important, I would reply that mentally every player on that team doesn’t feel that way. The issue is important because team sports can either have high reward or low reward.

Cost/Benefit: If this overlooked impact of team sports on adolescents isn’t taken more seriously and overseen to make sure that the children are benefitting from the sport then there will be an increase in mental health issues amongst youth.

Claim/Working Thesis: Parents and Coaches should be more involved in the mental health and in the impact that team sports has on there child or youth participant.
