Minnesota Insurance

I noticed that the New York Times article, reprinted in the Star Tribune today. He argued, in essence, - with a lot of folding and hawing - that the requirements of the stage of trying to keep the rapidly changing world is a professional Blogger human beings are the driving force in a tomb early .

Here, the mother, when the journalist his neck in March (poor) evidence:
Two weeks ago in North Lauderdale, Florida, took the funeral of Russell Shaw, a Blogger productive technology relating to the death of 60 subjects Myocardial Infarction. In December, another technology Blogger, Marc Orchant, died at 50 on a massive coronary. A third, Om Malik, 41, survived a heart attack in December.

Blogger Others complain of weight loss or gain, sleep disturbance, fatigue and other illnesses not born the burden of producing messages and information, a cycle which, as always, on the how the internet.
This is by far the most arrests citation:
“I have yet to death,” said Michael Arrington, the founder and co-editor of Techcrunch, a very popular technology blog. The site has millions and advertising revenue, but it has become a vigorous costs. M. Arrington said he had 30 pounds in the past three years, has developed a serious illness, sleeping bag and turned his office into an apartment for himself and four employees. “At some point, then I have a crisis nerves and to be admitted to the hospital, or something else happens. ”
OK, I think that the general principle of this article is totally absurd - to discuss that in any case, the blog is more physically tiring and health, destroy, as, say, working at the pier, building a house, holding a commercial truck Or to any of the thousands of other career is ridiculous. But I think that blogging has the potential to cause health problems, but for different reasons.

The Times is all about the birth of professional blogs. He asserts that there is “several thousands, or even tens of thousands of” professionals blogs, which potentially at risk. But I would say, they are not in danger of the offer itself, but by the absence medical insurance, which is often the case during a freelancer.

The increasing number of blogs - along with a reduction in the tradition of journalism Outlets which aired redundancies in the sector - for the most part, many former insured health and independent journalists in the order of the workers who are not medical insurance, unless Steil they pay premiums for which his own pocket. The local examples are numerous, including the Minnesota MinnPost or on the screen. This reflects a national trend - well, if I am wrong, but I believe that the major blogs offer health insurance is comparable to what one would find in a newspaper are the exception rather than the rule.

This problem is for me at home, because one of our authors has recently suffered a health problem and should be immediately to the hospital. Recovery after surgery during the week convalescence needs, while blogs or any other type of work was virtually impossible (and who wants the blog of someone Percocets anyway?)

As he worked for a “traditional media” Outfit, he had health insurance covers him, and he was sick days and continue a continuous recording weekly pay. I can only imagine the impact of this public health crisis - relatively low, in the grand scheme of things - that the young people of his family, he had a blog.
