Health Insurance, Reform Causing Stress Among Americans
Submitted by Deborah Mitchell on Dec 5th, 2009If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, and annoyance whenever you think or talk about health insurance or health reform, you are not alone. A new survey from Misericordia University and Braun Research finds that the health care reform debate is a cause of stress and annoyance among most Americans.
The health care reform debate has been going on for much too long for many Americans, and it is affecting their mental and emotional health. To better understand how Americans are feeling about and reacting to these issues, Misericordia University conducted their first Health Care in America Survey. The survey questioned more than 1,000 Americans between November 6 and 16, 2009 on issues around health insurance, the effect of health care debate on their individual relationships and household budgets, as well as who Americans trust the most for information on the topic.
The researchers found that because of their concerns about health care, Americans plan to spend less on holiday gifts and are experiencing an increased amount of tension. Their primary worries around health care reform include the cost to future generations, the impact it will have on the federal deficit, how much out-of-pocket expenses are going to impact them, and the accessibility of quality health care coverage.
Other findings of the survey include that nearly 25 percent of Americans say they would consider withholding information from an insurance company if they feared it might limit their ability to access health care. People who consider their views to be “very liberal” are more likely than others to withhold such information or stretch the truth about their family’s and their personal medical history.
The survey also revealed that families and doctors are the most trusted sources of information about health care reform, that nearly 25 percent of Americans are taking fewer sick days at work, and that more than 90 percent of Americans like the health insurance they have now. However, about one-third of Americans do not take advantage of preventive health testing or screenings even when they are available through their current coverage.
One-third of Americans are afraid they might lose their health insurance, and 10 percent of Americans have been forced to drop their health insurance. All of these issues add up to a majority of Americans feeling either annoyed, stressed, or frustrated by the ongoing health care debate. Adults who are nearing retirement tend to feel more stress, anger, and helplessness than their younger counterparts.
Michael MacDowel, EdD, president of Misericordia University, notes that as the debate continues about health insurance and health care reform, “it is paramount that we keep in mind the impact that this process is having on individual Americans.” It is conceivable that the longer the uncertainties about health reform go on and people are worried about their health insurance coverage, that levels of stress, frustration, and annoyance will rise.

Misericordia University news release, Dec. 4, 2009
With great sadness we share that Jim Rohn, our mentor and friend, left us December 5, 2009 for a better place.
Over the past 18 months, in his battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis, Jim assured us with a smile that all is good, that he would fight until the last breath, yet he had no fear as to what would be next. Jim’s faith was as much a part of his life as his desire to inspire and challenge us all to be the best we could be and to live our dreams.
Jim’s courage in his final months and days were a testament to his message that we should all fight the good fight. He never gave up and never gave in.
Jim Rohn touched millions of lives over the past 46 years through his seminars, books, articles and CDs. He always stayed long after an event to shake hands, take pictures and sign autographs. He loved making a difference in people’s lives, that was his passion and inspiration. Yet he was also a private man who kept a small, loyal and caring inner circle. He was a tremendous friend to those who knew him.
Harold Dyke, long time close friend of Jim’s for over 55 years said it best, “As Jim is ending one life he is simultaneously being birthed into a new life. One that he has talked about over the years and anticipated with great joy in his last remaining days.”
Kyle Wilson, long time colleague and friend of Jim had this to say about his mentor, “Jim Rohn was a great human being. Jim had the rare ability to take any concept or idea and then frame it in such a way that the rest of us could see it more clearly. His wisdom and insights positively affected everyone he touched on some level and to so many of us it was in an extraordinary way. But even more impressive was Jim Rohn the man. He possessed style and charisma, yet was humble, kind and understated to all who knew him. I find myself every day reflecting, benefiting and passing on the wisdom and ideas that are rooted in Jim’s message and wisdom. Jim is irreplaceable on every level. I will miss him beyond words, but am comforted as I know he was, that his message and legacy will live on and positively change millions of lives over the years to come!”
Someone once said “when you are born you enter the world crying while everyone else is rejoicing and when you die hopefully you have lived such a life that everyone will be crying while you are rejoicing”. Jim Rohn lived such a life.
Jim’s family asked us to thank all of you for your concern, prayers and love toward their father and grandfather, which has been so evident during the past 18 months.
Darren Hardy, dedicated student and Jim Rohn protégé for more than 15 years, said of Jim, “He was the most influential man in my life, second only to my father. Jim cemented my philosophical foundation and nourished my mind with ideas and ambitions never before imagined. He chiseled my character seminar by seminar, tape by tape, book by book, then CD by CD, hour by hour. Jim emboldened my belief, in me and in my most daring dreams. When I fell and was bloodied, he was there with encouraging words to help me get back up. When I didn’t think I could go on, Jim convinced me I was stronger than I imagined. When I wanted a shortcut, he reminded me there aren’t any. Even when I got too caught up in trying to achieve and succeed, Jim compelled me to leave room to live, to laugh and to love.”
Stuart Johnson, business associate and long-time admirer, said, “I was first introduced to the philosophies and teachings of Jim Rohn almost 25 years ago. And he made an immediate impression on me. I was amazed by how this modest and unassuming man could communicate such an extraordinarily powerful message in simple and straightforward terms. In person, one-on-one, he was as humble and down-to-earth as he was in front of an audience of thousands. I will treasure my personal memories of Jim and know that I will forever benefit from the wisdom of this remarkable man.”
There will be a private funeral held in the coming days. Plans and details are also being arranged for a Public Memorial Service to be held in the Los Angeles area in the coming weeks. Details will be announced upon final confirmation.
We know Mr. Rohn is looking down on us at this very moment with a smile saying I did it, I gave it my all, I went for it, now it’s your turn. Go for it. Make your life a life worth living well!
View a special tribute to Jim below produced earlier this year and debuted at the March 2009 SUCCESS Symposium. You are also encouraged to post your thoughts and remembrances of Jim on the Memorial Wall below.
Jim fondly closed his programs with the following sentiments: “I go with you in all the experience that we’ve had. But I promise you this as we leave here: I will not leave you behind. I’ll take you with me in my thoughts and in my heart.”
HAPPINESSLearn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
Happiness is not an accident. Nor is it something you wish for. Happiness is something you design.
How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.
The greatest source of unhappiness comes from inside.
Happiness is the art of learning how to get joy from your substance.
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.

Your reality is shaped by your beliefs, thoughts, and previous experiences. Your reality is a function of your consciousness. Current experiences, of course, further shape or prove or disprove your thoughts and beliefs that redefine your reality. Thoughts and beliefs work on all levels of your consciousness. Some beliefs you are aware of enough to articulate, others you become aware of as you think or talk, if you listen to yourself. Others are inherited or cultural; many beliefs are taught as facts in school and elsewhere. It is helpful to remember for every thought that exists, its opposite or absence also exists. It can be very empowering to recognize that you choose your thoughts from among the myriad of possibilities.
There is no real barrier keeping you from perceiving some of the aspects of these unknown realities except the limitations you place on yourselves. As you grow and evolve psychically, you will be able to experience more and more phenomenon that is now invisible to you and these other counterparts of your identity will eventually become known to you.
