CannonMany employers, such as McDonald’s, provide health benefits that are less comprehensive than most.  They may have an annual claims limit of $10,000 or less.  But if you’re young, healthy, and need to pinch your pennies, that may suit you just fine.  According to Jerry Newman, a SUNY-Buffalo professor who wrote a book about working at McDonald’s, “For those who didn’t have health insurance through their spouse, it was a life saver.” These are the health plans (and the workers) that are seeing the highest premium increases under ObamaCare.  The Wall Street Journal reports: Trade groups representing restaurants and retailers say low-wage employers might halt their coverage if the government doesn’t loosen a requirement for &#8...

In fact, they stink. Besides their olfactory offense, VOCs have been linked to ozone depletion, smog build-up, respiratory problems, and even cancer. Yet some folks cozy up with VOCs day in day out by choosing vinyl wallpaper or carbon-loaded paint to cover their walls. But there’s no need to. In the past few years, the number of eco-friendly paints on the planet has proliferated; and now, their quality has caught up. This month, Consumer Reports published the results of its 2010 interior paint survey: Nearly all the high-scorers contained 50 grams or less of VOCs per liter. Low-VOC Behr Premium Plus Ultra received top marks in all categories (fr...

In Lake Elsinore, North Carolina, a vegetable garden is growing on the grounds of Canyon Lake Middle School. Adina Ross, who teaches special needs students, asked Home Depot for a few supplies–chicken wire and stakes—and the result was that a team of some 100 volunteers from nine Home Depot stores came to build sensory, vegetable, and butterfly gardens, as well as a playground, picnic tables, and a sandbox. As noted in yesterday’s North County Times, Home Depot chose to make the school a site for a project with Kaboom, a “national organization whose vision is to ...

While the article itself is hopeful—Joanne Gerenser of Eden II cites Walgreens, Home Depot and CVS, all of whom have programs to hire autistic adults—that statement about the general perception of an autistic person as at a 6-year-old level is something that needs to be addressed. Of course autistic children grow up into autistic adults who change and develop. Some might remain interested in Sesame Street for all of their life, but this does not mean that the person who still talks about Elmo is not an adult. Some might still make “inappropriate noises” in pub... Autism Vox blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1064890 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 14:04:09 +0100 1064890
