Is Flying Footwear Injury Covered?

Is Flying Footwear Injury Covered?

George Bush has got some world class ducking skills. When an Iraqi journalist took out his frustrations by hurling a couple of loafers at the President's head, he out-maneuvered them like a third grade dodgeball champion. His press secretary, Dana Perino, was not so deft. She was left with a black eye after some microphone shrapnel caught her unaware.

Lucky for Perino, she has some of the best health insurance on the planet and doesn't have to worry about whether or not a check-up will be covered.

For the rest of us who may be starting a new job, your new company's insurance policy might not be so clear. When I was working stocking shelves at a grocery store, one of the favorite break room topics for conversation was gnarly injuries people had endured and whether or not they had occurred after the insurance kicked in. Many of my co-workers spent their off hours climbing mountains or surfing, so for them the full coverage made the paltry paychecks worth the money.

I remember hearing one story about a guy who quit and then sliced his thumb with a box cutter on his way out the door. Since it was a bit of urban legend I never did find out if he had to pay for the stitches himself.

The bottom line is that it's always a good idea to bone up on the specifics your new company's health insurance policy before you get settled. You'll probably already feel like you're inundated with forms and procedural documents, but you never know when a shoe–or two–will come flying your way. -Joy Hepp

Great Mother is Real... I am Aisha Kun and i want to testify about Great Mother how she cured me of hiv aids. I was diagnosed of this disease some time ago and i was worried. when i was searching the internet looking for a cure, i came across some testimonies of Great Mother how she has helped a lot of people and i decided to contact her on her info and explained to her. She laughed and told me that she will help me and i was surprised. She sent me the cure and it was a spiritual holy oil and water which is more than a medicine. She directed me on how to take it and i did. I took the cure for 3 weeks and i went to the doctor for check up and to my greatest surprise the disease was no longer in my system.

Yeah, that video of the journalist throwing his shoes at President Bush is pretty crazy! All I could think of is "Austin Powers" when he says, "Who throws a shoe? I mean, really?"
