News -- Wrist PDA-Palm: http://www.infosync.no/news/2002/n/2635.html

Comment - Okay, this is a little geeky even for me. There have been other wristwatch organizers, but this is the first one that runs the Palm operating system.

News - New York Times article about impact of skyrocketing health insurance costs hitting the middle class: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/25/national/25INSU.html

Comment - It's certainly a problem we're very familiar with at SBAM. Our members are really suffering.

I wish the article had pointed out that one of the big problems is that you can't purchase bare bones, high-deductible inexpensive health insurance coverage. In Michigan, it's either an expensive, covers-everything policy or nothing at all.

For example, consider a young couple that's healthy and not planning to have kids. Maybe they'd like to have the option to pay less for health insurance coverage and put some of that money into buying a new home?

Or, someone who gets laid off (as noted in this article). It would be better for them to have at least some catastrophic coverage rather than none at all, right?
