Last Stop for Healthcare. . .

Seven weeks seem to travel by fast when you are blogging about a topic that you are genuinely passionate about. Healthcare was that mist of passion for me!

I have taken this blogging exercise and experience from English 112 and have truly grown from it, as
a person and writer. It is beneficial to open your mind to opposing views in order to see the glass half full, rather than half empty. As well as positively accepting the criticism from others in order to correct mistakes that we all make as writers, in order to perfect our writing skill and style.

Over the semester, I covered a variety of topics that are relevant to healthcare but often overlooked. Certainly, in the current news the "Affordable Care Act" has dominated the focus in healthcare. While that is significant important, there are growing concerns in other areas of healthcare.

In brief, topics that I covered were:  the Affordable Healthcare Act (policy and conspiracy), health insurance fraud, supplementary health insurance plans, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (H.I.P.A.A.)

The connection I had with my blog grew personal working in the healthcare field. I found myself blogging about issues that I observed affecting citizens. Passion grew from my personal connection in the healthcare field. I found myself interviewing my coworkers and having open discussions with coworkers and patients from time to time in order to decide on topics for my weekly posts.

But like they say, "all good things must come to an end..."

With the semester coming to a close, I will not be continuing my blog, "The Healthcare Post." Between balancing family, school and work, it's hard for me to personally manage my time to continue this blog. Whelp!, it was fun while it lasted!
