為什麼要買人壽保險?

親愛的朋友:

上個月,一通來自康州的電話讓我難過了好久,一位年輕時跟我一起住在康州,與我年紀相仿的朋友突然腦溢血驟逝,震驚的同時也讓我重新思考了人生的意義。俗話說,"天有不測風雲,人有旦夕禍福" "不怕一萬,只怕萬一",我們生活在世界上,除了健康問題之外, 有太多意料之外的事情可能隨時發生,威脅到我們的生命安全,可能讓我們家人的生活失去保障。

因為做保險的關係,常常有朋友打電話來問我,要買怎樣的人壽保險才能保障家人的生活,經過這次事件,我越來越體認到人壽保險的重要,也花時間研究了市面上的許多人壽保險方案,其中一項人壽保險,R.O.P Term價格合理,且最快10年後還可以領回所有保費,便宜又有保障,所以推薦身邊的朋友購買,希望朋友及家人在面對意外事件的時候,能夠有足夠的財務保障。

意外不可預知,如果您還沒有人壽保險,希望自己更有保障,請盡早購買,因為越早購買保費越便宜,買了就有保障,未來也可以越早拿回所有繳出去的保費,如果還是有疑問,請跟我聯絡,我將盡力協助您!

我的e-mail 是: joan@e-healthagent.com ,電話是:510-573-6888 (台國語皆可)

祝 身體健康 事業順利

Health Reform

Latest news and updates link https://www.blueshieldca.com/producer/news/health-reform/home.jhtml


Extension of dependent coverage until age 26
Reinsurance for early retiree plans
New rules for enrollees with pre-existing conditions
Changes to lifetime or annual limits on "essential health benefits"
Coverage of preventive health services
Health & Human Services (HHS) consumer website launches

Detail for Extension of dependent coverage until age 26
Extension of dependent coverage until age 26 As part of the new federal health reform law, dependents have the option of staying on their parents’ group or family health plan until age 26, regardless of student, residency, employment or marital status. Prior to the new legislation, health plans commonly imposed an age limit of 23 years old for dependents who were full-time students and 19 years old for dependents who were not full-time students.The law states that this new provision must go into effect on September 23, 2010 for group plans and January 1, 2011 for individual and family plans. However, Blue Shield of California chose to implement this provision early for its members. On June 1, 2010, Blue Shield began allowing dependents who would have previously "aged-off" of their parents’ plan to remain on that plan regardless of student status, up to age 26. Dependents who reached 26 years of age on or before May 31, 2010 or were dis-enrolled because of their student status, may re-enroll when their parents re-enroll at open enrollment for an effective date on or after the September 23, 2010 or their parents renew their individual plan effective January 1, 2011 . For ASO and custom groups, this maximum age may vary by contract, but may only be higher than 26.The only eligibility requirement, other than age, is that the dependent must be a child of the covered parent. For example:Subscriber enrolled through his/her employer: A son turned 23 years old in May 2010 and was dis-enrolled from his parent’s plan. The son may now re-enroll on his parent’s plan at the next plan renewal on or after September 23, 2010 (in this scenario, May 2011).Subscriber enrolled through an Individual and Family Plan (IFP): A son turned 23 years old in May 2010 and was dis-enrolled from his parent’s plan. The son may now re-enroll on his parent’s plan on January 1, 2011. NOTE: for an IFP plan, any dependents that "aged-off" only have a 30-day time period from January 1, 2011 through January 31, 2011 to re-enroll. Once this time period is completed, normal Blue Shield of California Underwriting policies will be enforced.Remind groups of the option to re-enroll dependents up to age 26Group members will be allowed to re-enroll covered dependents up to age 26 for any renewals on or after October 1, 2010. Members must act fast since re-enrollment is not automatic. Please remind your clients when you are talking about renewals. Blue Shield will be providing groups with a sample notices to be given to their employees at open enrollment.

非常高興能在加州碰見李教授,老師還是跟1988年一樣沒什麼變,我們呢?胖了也老了些。自從我先生Bill Chang畢業離開康州至今都沒有機會與老師會面,今日相見,老師幾乎不記得我們了。不知道師母是否還記得?
祝李教授全家安康
