Another short post today. There’s too much bracketball to watch today. Breakfast – Roasted chickpeas and veggies Lunch – Ampaipitakwong Fried Rice (aka Pete’s), egg roll (yes, it does resemble last night’s dinner) Dinner – Chicken fajitas I enjoyed tracking my meals this week and learned a lot. I no longer need to track consumption like […]
Short post today. The Boss is Back and there will be Boss directed activities to be done today. Even More Things I Learned This Week Rock hard green avocados ripen faster when placed in a bowl with very ripe spotted bananas. Fresh grapes satisfy my sweet tooth. I forgot to weigh myself this morning. “Daily […]
Friday 3/24 After 47 years as a cardiologist with 200,000 patient visits, I can firmly say that vegans are my healthiest patients. I certainly agree with you it is not easy. My position is that 90% vegan which is 19 of 21 meals a week will do just fine. Foods should be, prior to preparation, […]
I just found this. The file is dated 12.26.2017. No wonder why the cumin, paprika, parsley, salt and pepper are missing.
Thurs 3/23 Update 5:25 pm I’m learning a lot about myself this week from tracking my meals. Since The Boss is away my meals and eating habits are totally my own. I don’t have to think about, shop for, plan or cook with someone else’s preferences in mind. I like not having regularly scheduled meals. […]

OK, before I even read the article, I’m going to guess Alabama and Mississippi.
I don’t know how to read the table. Do they take into consideration the population of the state?
Keep in mind what you are looking at are Actuarial numbers. Based on historical data insurance companies assume a certain number of deaths (expected). Then the true number of deaths are reported (actual). The resultant ratio is what we call actual to expected or A/E. The expected number is included in life insurance pricing models. So if the actual is lower than expected, the company makes money and if higher, losses happen. Of course there are many other factor that enter into product pricing. The answer to your question is probably yes. But I’m not an actuary.
Got it. On another note, insurance related, do you think health insurance companies will ever charge a higher premium to people who choose not to receive the Covid vaccine?
Already happening. I had to show proof of SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations to receive a “discount” on my employer provided health insurance premium. For those of us paying attention, the premium for 2022 is the same as it was for 2021. For employees who choose to be unvaccinated their premiums are higher.
I hope all insurance companies will do this. And I think it should be a substantial surcharge. I’m sick and tired of paying people’s hospital expenses for a preventable disease.
I suspect most if not all will add surcharges. At the present the premium increases are in the health insurance realm. Life insurance is different and may head in the same direction much as the industry did years ago by charging less for non-smokers and more for users of the weed.
