The Blue Card System allows Blue Cross and Blue Shield policy holders to travel and still be covered “in-network” while traveling out-side their home state.

Pete Klodhoppian and his wife Esmeralda’s close encounter of the worst kind only ends with a Blue Card System reprieve.

1953_gm_futurlinerPeter C. “Pete” Klodhoppian and his beloved wife of 63 years, Esmeralda, had always dreamed of using their recreational vehicle, which they considered a spacious fourteen-footer, for a sightseeing trip through the American West. “Maybe we’ll get all the way to California,” Esmeralda told Pete one day when their dream still seemed unattainable.

It was unattainable, mainly because Esmeralda had never driven a vehicle, and Pete’s license had been suspended for twelve years, when he’d been caught with an open case of Nyquil in their Buick Electra, and been charged with a DUI as he put it, “just like a school kid.” Being a confirmed procrastinator, he’d missed numerous court dates when it had happened, and fearing the “red tape” that retired persons surely must face in order to reinstate driver’s licenses, he’d “never gotten around to it.”

But one day he did and off they went. One thing Pete suddenly noticed about Esmeralda was her curiosity. Every place they stopped along the way, she would get out and stretch her legs, and peek under every rock within reach. These obsessive Esmeraldan activities were engaged in without incident until they reached Arizona’s Painted Desert. While lifting a two-pound rock, she’d begun poking around when Pete heard a scream. Is that a bobcat? Pete mused, his natural tendency to procrastinate kicking in. Nope. Lumbering over to where his wife was standing behind their RV, he saw in the glare of his flashlight a blotchy lizard holding on to her outstretched hand, his wife’s face contorted in pain.

“It won’t let go,” she yelled again, in a surprisingly hostile manner.

“I can see that,” he said, “Looks like you caught yourself a Gila monster.” Fortunately, Pete had a cell phone. He did procrastinate, but eventually called the BlueCard Worldwide Service Center, attempting to find the nearest hospital.

“Good thing we’re BlueCard members,” he told her later in the hospital, drooling as he kissed her grossly swollen left hand and forearm.

“Stop it you old fool,” she said, still grimacing.

Mona Vie Blends Now Available From California Health Insurance Agent

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

mona-vieMatt Lockard, health insurance agent extraordinaire, knows healthy when he sells it. Mona Vie acai berry juice is known for its remarkable healthful benefits, a superfood bursting with vitality.

California Health Insurance Agent Matt Lockard, always concerned with the health of his customers, has taken a giant step metaphorically — to lush Amazonian Brazilian forests where the acai berry is grown. Like thousands of other entrepreneurial and health-conscious Americans, he’s become a MonaVie distributor.

It wasn’t easy. He had to learn about the MonaVie blends and the remarkable health promoting qualities of the delicious acai berry. “I think it grows on trees,” Matt explains. He didn’t know at first about the acai’s unparalleled antioxidant levels and extraordinary nutrient content. “It’s more nutritious than capybara flesh,” states Matt, adding an obscure factoid about the South American rodent. “They’re like giant rats,” he says with a hint of wonder, but he’s referring to the rodent, not the berry.

One of the world’s premier superfoods, the acai berry is rich not only in antioxidants, but also phytonutrients, amino acids, vitamins, and trace minerals.

While the acai berry serves as the foundation for each of MonaVie’s vital formulas, each nutritious and delicious blend provides tastes of other body-beneficial fruits, including cupuacu, camu camu (no stranger to Albert Camus, it even rhymes with his famous name), aronia, acerola, blueberry, bilberry, and pomegranate, a cornucopia totaling eighteen fruits in all. Balance. Variety. Moderation. Each of MonaVie’s health-minded products feature an exclusive acai berry blend. Each one tastes subtly different, distinct, unique.  For countless centuries, the people of the Amazon Basin have treasured this spectacular fruit as a source of health and vitality. The health benefits of acai are continuing to be documented by aggressive teams of scientists. Balance. Variety. Moderation. MonaVie’s approach to nutrition helps Matt’s health insurance clients and anyone else to fight free radicals and to maintain overall physical health.

Matt also recommends MonaVie Active that features the added benefit of plant-derived glucosamine, which enhances skin elasticity and joint mobility. He’s also still learning. “This stuff is a lot tastier than capybara milk,” he says. Mona Vie can be purchased here https://www.mymonavie.com/MattsMonaVieAcai

Jack Daniels of Malibu Beach had loved to surf until the accident. The blonde-haired twenty-something possessed a marvelous physique and received plenty of covert glances from beautiful women on the beach every time he went surfing. But it was the surfing he loved. The glorious pursuit of aqueous perfection gave him goose bumps. He worried about sharks and barracudas and miscellaneous garbage tossed into the waves by careless jerks aboard pleasure craft, but it was the obvious that initially did him in.  One afternoon he grabbed his board and strolled out into the Pacific in moderate surf. Excited, as he was about to catch a wave, he smacked his face down abruptly with his mouth slightly ajar onto his red, white, and blue surfboard. His “problem tooth” snagged, the peculiar incisor sinking into the polyurethane a half inch deep, wedging solid. “With my head stuck like that,” Jack later told the television crew, “It was a miracle I didn’t drown.”

He vowed never to surf again while that tooth was in his gob. As a boy of thirteen his mother had taken him to a dentist for the first and last time. “Open your mouth kid,” the dentist, “Call me Seymour,” had said. Jack was shy, but opened, only to have the insensitive dentist remark a little too loudly, “Oh boy. This kid has saber tooth syndrome. It’s still a baby tooth, but …”

Jack had learned not to smile. He was a good-looking teenager, but when he’d open his mouth and people saw it – they looked away. Now, the lonely ex-surfer had to do something about it.  But what? He didn’t have dental insurance. Jack finally worked up the courage to call a California Health Insurance agent, Mr. Louis B. Snaggle. “Hello. I don’t know if you can help me. I have s-s-s-aber tooth c-aaaa-t syndrome,” Jack managed.

“How long is it?” the friendly agent asked. Jack told him.

“Come right over. We can get you covered,” Mr. Snaggle reassured him.

A minor dental procedure later, Jack was back surfing. He didn’t see the garbage floating in the seawater until it was too late.
