It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...actually totally terrifying. Residents of Penang, Malaysia have been Tweeting and sharing a video of a bizarre and destructive weather phenomenon. It's not a tornado. It's not a hurricane. It's not even a tsunami. It's something that you may never have heard of, but that has destroyed nearly 50 buildings on the island.
It's called a waterspout, and it's a rare occurrence. For over five minutes, residents watched the spout off-shore before it hit land, ripping roofs off of houses and generally scaring the bajeesus out of everyone around. Thankfully no one was hurt, which means that we can revel at this astounding force of nature without feeling guilty about it. This thing completely defies gravity.
We've got some amazing photos of the waterspout for you to check out, and make sure you scroll until the end to see the actual video. This thing is 100% mind-blowing.
Ok but what even IS a waterspout?
Because honestly it sounds like something out of an anime.
No, it turns out that a waterspout is a real thing.
It occurs when a vortex (basically some intense wind) happens over water.
Now the vortex itself isn't that weird.
What IS uncommon is a waterspout that picks up actual water. That’s when things start to get wild.
Hold onto your hats friends, because this sounds entirely made up.
Any marine life within about one yard of the surface can get picked up and flung into the air.
Do you want a Sharknado?

Much has been said about the latest in the healthcare sector. Politicians' continue to bicker and have no solid plan to replace the current plan. Certain Analysts believe if this Trump Administration plan passes the Senate their proposal will leave over 23 million people without coverage by the year 2026. The Affordable Care Act law is and was simply put in place to help the American people who were once unable to get any type of coverage, finally get the care he or she may need. Secondly, it has also helped more than enough individuals with pre-existing conditions get coverage as well. And thirdly there is the concern of affordability; this is for people who do not have enough money to pay for insurance on their own, the current law provides financial assistance for those eligible to receive money from the government.
The problem with today's guidelines are the plans are based on: age, geographic location, the ability to pay, the rising cost of medical technology and taxes. Notice there is nothing mentioned about your overall health conditions. Until the underwriting process is brought back into the equation, then insurers' will never be able to accurately measure their risk and set premium prices at affordable rates. The message to insurers' is the fact that no one should be denied health insurance due to their finances or health related conditions to help protect against their financial losses when and if they occurred.
During this era a majority of insurance companies especially those that specialize in the health sector jumped on the band wagon with lower premiums knowing financial assistance would be there to help pay for coverage. Plans were and are designed to basically take the American peoples' money first before paying any claims. Once the claims began to come from more than enough people, then insurers' realized their premiums were set too low and began experiencing financial losses. There is no coincidence today why as consumers we hear about large health carriers pulling out of the marketplace and are no longer willing to participate this coming 2018 season under the ACA format.
The solution for consumers, we have to educate ourselves and grasp a good understanding and not listen to all the rhetoric in the media. We need a suite of insurance products to benefit us in the event there are some types of loss. Whether its a loss of life, the inability to work for certain period of time, or failing health our money needs to be protected at reasonable rates. Do this now while you are still healthy with the right kind of life and health insurance plans; underwriting is the key.
There are more than enough life and health insurance companies who offer benefits to protect your money. They never moved into this whole affordable care dilemma. Insurance today is still being sold on the premise of an individual's risk factors. These type of plans whether they are: accident, cancer, critical illness, dread disease, hospitalization, preventive care and wellness, also known as MEC (minimum essential coverage) or life insurance policies are and will always be available.
The Affordable Care Act is a good law that needs to be revised and not replaced. In today's environment of government uncertainty, why listen to such chaos? "People perish because of a lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6a. Now that you have been given this knowledge, perish not; be encouraged and do the right thing for your family and your finances.
