Medicare Part D: Update

We finally got my father's temporary benefit card. Because of his illness he can't work and therefore got additional help from CMS. He will get his medicine for free... hopefully. No premium is supposed to come out of his Social Security payment.

I signed him up on the Medicare website and that was fairly simple. The only problem was that his medication had two different styles: pill and injection, so I had to call his pharmacy to find out which one was which.

All in all, the sign-up process went smoother than the press was reporting.

Quick Review: Coach an Effective Team

This product, "How to Coach an Effective Team: Leadership that Gets Results," is a video (VHS) training course and viewer guide, it has a sixty minute run-time and is hosted by Joe "Coach" Gilliam.

"Coach" Gilliam leads the viewer through his management ideas with a mania that endears as it terrifies. The management lessons taught are solid as are the motivational techniques. The video has cheap production values, but it communicates Gilliam's ideas effectively.

I was lent this by one of my clients, if I had to purchase it to view it, I probably wouldn't.
