Thanks for visiting our 'partners' that you'll find on the LifeStyles Page of this website.

We bring you a cross-section of companies that include Movie Collector's World, the marketplace for everything in movie memorabilia, NewGrip, the most advanced athletic glove in the world and even jazz singers like our friendsLibby York and Luba Mason.

We invite you and your business to join the creme de la creme of people and companies that are available through this website. While our standards are limited to 'stuff we think you'll like' we do not accept any multi-level or network marketing organzations onboard, particularly when they're more inclined to be soliciting for dealers or salespeople. While people in these organizations have very commendable and uplifting goals, we find that they are better suited to attacking the masses at any one of the social networks that are avaialble.

COMING SOON: With the recent media-created hysteria on the so-called Swine Flu, we recalled some good success that we had in dealing with such bugs with the use of Colloidal Silver. Sometime ago, I became the owner of a SilverJET CS Generator where we make our own as we need it. It's a neat deal, in that it slips into your pocket for travel in its own carrying case and generates enough CS for you to use in a matter of minutes.

We will be a market maker for the SilverJET Generator right here on this website. Made in the USA of high quality parts, it seems to make more sense than most of the primitive devices that I've seen to generate or make Colloidal Silver. And, compared to the pricing that I've seen...VERY INEXPENSIVE! Watch for more details on this CS Generator soon!

Thanks for dropping in for some Words of Wisdom today...may your day be blessed and enjoyable and as always...looking up!Dennis

An Rx for Our Health Care - Part Three

2009-04-20T09:50:00.000-07:00

If Parts one and two didn't get your attention, maybe this final part to this article may.

You've read the really bad news on federal government entitlement programs and that if they continue on this bent, they may be the only thing left for Washington to handle - after all, those numbers are mind boggling and indeed, there would be nothing left, if things don't change. Fulfilling the federal government promises made that they can't keep...there's no money to keep these promises.

So, Mr. Smarty Pants, what is the answer? Well, for sure it isn't up to me, but I have a couple of ideas that I'll run by you for your consideration. If you believe that we should be in a 'free-market' economy as opposed to a mandated socialist economy, then listen up now.

While reviewing the local Denver Magazine, 5280 a couple of months ago, it featured 'Denver's Top Docs'. What surprised me was the number of awards and concurrent ads in the same publication for cosmetic surgery of all types...breast enhancement, facelifts, tummy tucks, you name it's there. One plastic surgeon has an ad in this morning's Denver Post for a Mommy Makeover! Now, generally, these kind of services are NOT paid for by any entitlement program or private insurance under normal circumstances.

But what intrigued me was that if I was a 'cash-paying' customer and in the market for any of these services, it would be a simple matter of shopping for the best doc who could perform my elective surgery! Real free-market opportunity here - and real medical entrepreneurs.

Another interesting fact uncovered with than one discussion with representatives of these offices I was told that prices for cosmetic surgery has gone down - while almost every other kind of surgery has gone UP in cost!

I also asked if a person becomes a patient, could this include email and telephone consultations with the Provider or their office and I learned that YES it did! And not only that, patient's have an electronic medical record at their provider so regardless of who fields the call or email, the physician or assistant has your personal records in front of them.

If these type of medical providers are actually growing, it might indicate that one of the reasons is that they are providing services that mainstream isn't. Without this kind of service and a positive experience for most patients, they'll get antsy and go elsewhere - which is exactly what's happening. Today more than ever, people want the experience.

In 2009, a consumer group called Communicating for America partnered with TelaDoc to provide members with access to a national network of board-certified physicians providing cross-coverage consultations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Additional information is available on this by contacting me directly. Joining this organization is easy. We view this as yet another way for you the consumer to get the most out of your health-care dollar.

Look around your community for boutique or Urgent Care facilities...they're springing up all over. For a cut finger, a child's sore throat, it becomes an efficient and far more cost efficient than running to the Emergency Room for these kinds of services. With this free-market type of practice from physicians who no longer want to bother with the hassles and administration of third-party insurers, they have become very competitive and prices for medical services have decreased!

Another part of the global health-care delivery system are foreign providers in places like Mexico, Canada and even Bangladesh. Sort of like health-care tourism - lots of Americans have elected to have many types of surgeries offshore. In order to attract Americans to these foreign providers, you'll find significantly lower costs for procedures by board-certified physicians, some who have trained in the U.S. and Canada.

Another idea that I have is to require doctors and hospitals to guarantee their work, regardless of private insurance or services provided through entitlement programs. Statistics show that a high percentage of people who have surgery provided through Medicare actually return to the hospital for mop up work...again, costing the system more money to correct a mistake. Also, by requiring hosptials and surgeons to state their 'error-rates' should be a requirement. It just may help tighten up careless work and lower iatric events.

Just like the extended warranty that you may get when you purchase a flat-panel monitor or a new car...what about a Warranty on the work of a doctor or hospital? If something goes wrong, they gotta fix it FREE! Let them worry about how to recover the costs for the mistake... It might also dramatically lower the incidents of medical malpractice cases, put some lawyers out of business and get you back to normal as quick as possible.

Another way for a consumer to consider keeping some kind of private health-care benefits is to consult with us. Nowadays, it's possible to own a new class of insuring products, although limited in scope, they are cost efficient and can provide benefits that many of the higher priced major medical plans cover. In many cases, these 'Defined Benefit' insurance benefits can be purchased without medical underwriting and guaranteed issue. Dennis Bukantis Marketing offers such opportunities for you. Please contact me for a consultation on such a product today.

Well, there you have it - my ideas on the state of this country's health-care system. I believe that it could be a start for fixing what ails this system - and more importantly, returning the delivery of health-care from an unmanageable, nay impossible system that has historically used the classic Ponzi scheme as its foundation. You have a choice. If you believe any of this, let your voice be heard today.

An Rx for Our Health Care - Part Two

2009-04-17T13:06:00.000-07:00

Did you understand the depth of the last parts of Part One? What if we as the People required the bureaucrats to account for their obligations like what is required in the private sector when it comes to pension assets and liabilities?

What if we awakened some morning, flipped on the news or read in the paper that the federal government was closing down Social Security and Medicare? What do you suppose would be owed on benefits already earned? A staggering $50+ trillion, an amount several times larger than the total size of the U.S. economy.

What does this bode for you, or your parents or grandparents who may be counting on these 'earned' entitlement programs for daily existence?

It's common knowledge that both Social Security and Medicare have been spending more than bringing in for a long time. Actually, it's a pretty big deficit right now that will be exacerbated by a large slug of Baby Boomers who will be jumping onto these programs soon. The deficit must grow...grow indeed.

Looking ahead...say to the Year 2019, ten years from now, the federal government will need one out of every four income tax dollars to pay for these programs. In another ten years, the approximate middle of the road for retired Baby Boomers, the federal government will need one out of every two income tax dollars!

I read a day or so ago that there would be a distinct possibility of Social Security and even Medicare recipients seeing their benefits CUT....and taxes raised...or both.

Medicaid, which I haven't mentioned yet - is in even deeper, darker waters. It's estimated by the members of the Potentates of the Potomac who make up the Congressional Budget Office, largely controlled by the Democrats in the august assemblage, Medicare and Medicaid will push out all other programs that they run by the middle of this century - that means, nearly everything - defense, energy, education - the whole thing. You may look out your window and see armed UN troops in your neighborhood. How's that grab you?

If the above scenario did play out, that would mean all we would have would be these two programs for health care. If the federal policies continued as is, and the only likely next move of higher taxes to pay for these entitlements, it would mean that at the mid-century point the average family in America will be only keeping 1/3of their income! 2/3 of your income sent to the friendly collector in the form of 'your' income tax. How ya gonna handle this?

A rather interesting aside here has been the Tea Party demonstrations held across the country two days ago, on April 15, 2009. While mainstream media portrayed it as being politically driven in most accounts, I disagree. No, it has little to do with the present branches of federal government solely. What it has to do with is that government has become so oppressive and large and in the process is taking away our freedom, liberty and income. It was interesting that several Judas Goat commentators called it a 'grass roots' movement...far from that...way above that and it's turned into substantially more than 'grass roots'..when you consider the thousands that participated...it's taken hold..now all that needs to happen is that the word must be spread...even if other than mainstream media outlets are used..it's time that you listen to the voices of your fellow, hard-working members of your society.

Some would opine that there is no federal law that requires you to pay any tax on your income from work. If that is true, then why don't the masses stand up and ask for some accountability on this matter? I'm not convinced that there is, however, I recently phoned a large tax preparer's office to ask them if they knew the law that required a person to pay income taxes. Now, you would be thinking that if anybody knew, they would. I was informed by the person on the other end of the line that 'I don't know what that law is, and we only follow the government's guidelines on taxes!' WOW! Let that statement resonate with you, Jack.

I certainly don't know the answer to this question, however, there are some people who after exhausting research, claim to know. One particular website that caught my eye was that of www.larkenrose.com You might want to check that out. It seems right out there in the open and uses federal law as it's guidelines.
There are some other very good websites that also provide information on this matter. Restoretherepublic is highly visible on the internet. Another excellent publication is the American Free Press. They, I believe, print the news and content that you don't see on mainstream television or other publications. Check em out!

Next in Part 3, I'm going to deliver my ideas as to how we might clean up this mess. If you believe that we shouldn't rely on the welfare state policies that we're currently buried under and getting deeper, then you won't want to miss Part 3. We'll touch on free-market practices that encompass health-care delivery, and the only proven health-care insurance system in the free world.

For health insurance needs that you have, please contact us for a confidential discussion of the same. After all, we're still free market! Dennis Bukantis Marketing knows most of everything that you need to know and you'll get the best coverage and the best rate AND you can help me design the product that meets your aspirations. GUARANTEED! Contact me today on the 'Contact' page on this website. We move with the speed of change, and so expect prompt action on any request or comment...always welcome.

An Rx for Our Health Care - Part One

2009-04-15T15:52:00.000-07:00

I had the occasion to visit the Social Security Administration website...you may be familiar with it. On the SSA site, there is a button where they tell you that the SSA is very healthy. If that were true, then all of us should be relieved, particularly those who are depending upon SS Benefits in retirement. But what if that's not necessarily true?

Well, the bad news is that getting through the current economic fandango will not be easy, and some say, that we're really confronted with a far bigger problem. To wit;

The first of the Baby Boomers signed up for early Social Security benefits last year and these same early beneficiaries will also enroll in Medicare in about two years. The PROBLEM is that neither Social Security nor Medicare will be ready to handle them.

Explicit and implicit promises have been made to millions of people, but the Promissor has not put money aside in order to keep those promises. How can this be?

While it appears to some in the know, Wall Street charlatan Bernie Maydoff and now a couple of others got their business idea and ethics for their Ponzi schemes from studying the federal government entitlement programs. Check it out...they all operated in a similar manner.

Compounding the problem that will hit mainstream America is that in the private sector, many employer-sponsored pensions plans are not fully funded. And there doesn't appear to be any federal government insurance scheme behind those plans.

Conservative estimates places the potential taxpayer liability between $500 billion and one trillion dollars for those private pension plans. And too boot, nearly 1/3 of all Baby Boomers work for an employer who has promised retirement health care benefits. As with our now govermnment owned auto companies in Detroit and other places, almost no funding for these benefits is on the table either. Where and how will these promises be met?

Certain California municipalities have declared bankruptcy because of their employee retirement plans and the first Baby Boomer is still only 63 years old.

What all this points us to is a huge gap between what an entire generation believes is going to happen during its retirement years and the funds that are supposed to be there - but are not - to make good on all those promises.

What may happen as some have visioned is that somebody is going to be really upset. Either the Boomers will not have the retirement life they had counted on (and we're seeing this right now) or grassroot taxpayers are going to be hit with a walloping bill. Or both.

Now, rewinding back to the idea of a Ponzi scheme for a minute - this federal government has spent money that it doesn't really have. So we must ask, how can they keep promising more and more entitlements? They can't and do it legally. Remember, Maydoff and others are going to jail for this type of scheme.

This may help you crystalize on this matter better: Trustees for the SSA have estimated an unfunded liability of in excess of $100 trillion in current dollars. Not rocket science here, this would equate to mean that the feds have promised more than $100 trillion over and above any taxes or premiums it expects to receive. This $100 trillion represents about six and a half times of the US economy - they should have this on hand right now building interest.
Truth is Genevieve, it doesn't exist.

This in a brief fashion is a story of Social Security - Next Words of Widsom will talk about the other side of the government entitlement program, Medicare and after that the widsom of Private Health Care Insurance. Stay tuned to this page regularly.

Springtime! A Season of Rebirth

2009-04-11T12:13:00.000-07:00

Greetings from a blustery Denver, the day before the Easter Celebration. While yesterday was calm, sunny and warm for the Opening Day at Coors Field, today's a sharp contrast!

Downtown was really packed, particularly in the area of the stadium..course, the opening day tilt was "sold-out" sometime ago. Son-in-law James West and I enjoyed the hospitality event hosted by none other than Pete Coors at a LoDo club. All the Coors brewed products that you cared to have plus a bountiful fare of ballpark cuisine; hotdogs, several kinds of bratwursts, salades, all the fixings and fresh cookies!

Spring brings professional baseball back to birth at major and minor league outposts across this great land of ours. We're fortunate to have the Colorado Rockies right here in Denver, and down the road at Colorado Springs, the Sky Sox compete in the Pacific Coast League, AAA action! We try and make at least one trip a season to Security Field there...$2 hot dogs, beers and FREE parking!

Spring also brings a renewal of growing things...buds and flowers are starting to pop their heads up - the grass is re-emerging here even after a dry, dry winter. Soon, it will be time to start thinking about vegetables and bedding plants...as long as I can keep the two precious Scottish Terriers away from the growing stuff!
They always seem to find a way over the fences particularly when nice, fresh compost is put out to enrich the soil.

Spring also brings renewal to people's hearts and souls. Those that celebrate the Glory of God in their own way, should be bouyed by the very things that are now becoming visible to the human eye.

In spite of these economic times, I believe that God is a God of increase...a God of measure...through Him, ordinary people accomplish extraordinary things...I've seen it..you may have too, but keep looking UP and you shall!

Now for a paid commercial! Soon, you'll see some new features and new products on this website. You can find informative news on insurance matters. As long as you're here..swing on over to the INSURANCE NEWS PAGE. Keeping you informed on cutting-products is just one of the things that's on my mind. The latest article on the Insurance News Page is on CRITICAL ILLNESS Insurance. Czech it out!

On our LifeStyles Page - For the Not So Rich and Famous, you'll be able to connect with several of our friends in a wide range of things...if you would like to join our special friends on our LifeStyles Page, just let me know...it's FREE!

Re Bopping in Denver!

2009-03-26T15:02:00.000-07:00

Today is a good day to re-bop! That's an old jazz term from my friend, singer Mark Murphy! It's like hooking up again, and bopping about stuff from the past...or put another way - reminiscing about the future!

After a dry and very mild winter, today on the 26th of April Denver is under a Winter Storm Warning...it's been snowing for a few hours and although it seems to have lightened up at this 4pm hour, the prognostication is for 12-24 inches before it gets outta here! That's ok, we need the moisture...and this snow is good and wet!

A couple of days ago, I had fished one of those soaker hoses out of the long flower bed that its called home..not wanting to energize the sprinkler system in fear of freezing weather like today, I decided on a manual watering operation.

All seemed to be going according to Hoyle and giving our yard a much needed drink. I decided to leave this soaker hose rig out in the yard...lo and behold, our youngest Mascot (pictured on the home page of this website) decided to do a little gnawing on this old hose...long story shortened...the hose is history..all my fault for leaving it there and I sure hope that Murphy MacIntosh, the lovable 1 year old Scottish Terrier had a great time!

At the height of this morning's snowfall, I took the boys out there for a romp in the snow and shoveled their piddlin' paths and spots...usually, we walk the woods and trail that is located behind our house, but today seems like not a good thing to try...maybe tomorrow...we hardly miss a day save for inclement weather.

Speaking of nice weather and nice singers, if you haven't visited our LifeStyle Pages lately, you'll find links of several of our people and companies that we share specially with you. One such is singer Libby York who often times can be found in either Key West, Florida or Chicago. Libby is a consumate interpreter of the Great American Songbook and then some.

You can visit Libby via her website...check out her music and view a Utube video of her in performance. Her music is available through her website and I highly recommend it.

If you have a gift of singing like Libby or even a product and service that you believe that our readers and visitors would like to know about...by all means, let me hear from you with the details...we'll put your information, pictures, links on our site for FREE! I would delight in that!

See...I'm more about being in the people business than being in the insurance and financial services business...I believe that all people need to be treated as such and I also have the inner mission to share with anybody that decides to be friends..no, this isn't a social network, but an opportunity for you to connect with some of the finer things in life...like Libby York!

I also believe, in case you wondered, that God is my boss...in spite of an economy and oft chaotic times we live in...God is a God of plenty...of increase..and He takes ordinary people and creates extraordinary things. After all, He created you and I as the head...not the tail..believing so...we shall see favour far and beyond what we've ever seen..ages to come..far and beyond. Explosive Blessings!

Thanks for dropping by to read these words...and above all...DARE TO BELIEVE!

Medical Travel Insurance

2009-03-16T11:36:00.000-07:00

On the right side of the Home Page is a link for MULTINATIONAL that you can click on, get a quote and enroll, AND print your policy while you wait! What could be simpler that than?!! And - Bon Voyage!

Thanks for dropping in to the Words of Wisdom today! Please contact me if I may be of additional service to you for all of your individual and family health insurance needs.

Life's Little Pleasures REbopped!

2009-03-12T18:13:00.001-07:00

I lead a simple life...now that the 100 year old Rocky Mountain News has stopped publishing it's the Denver Post and a morning cup of freshly ground, brewed Java! Usually the view from my coffee klatch area is the front-range of the Rocky Mountains...still snowcapped and they look lovely!

Colorado is not home to any coffee plantatations, but many craft-beer brewers call Colorado home. If I'm going to have a beer, it's a good one. Tonight before supper was just such a night. The New Belgium Brewing of Ft. Collins has been putting out some dandy brews for beer aficianados for some time. If you're fortunate to live in their distribution market, make sure you try one of their good ones for this time of year - 1554 Enlightened Black Ale. As the name implies, way on the dark side but full of flavour and a tad of bright taste side, uncommon for a lot of dark beers seen around St. Patrick's Day.

Right down the road from their bigger brewing brother in Ft. Collins, the Odell Brewing Company also turns out some very fine craft-brewed beverages.

Speaking of St. Patrick's Day - a lot of places around here will be celebrating the "Luck of the Irish" and other things Irish! This weekend, the two Mascots, McDuff McTavish and his little brother, Murphy MacIntosh will be in the annual celebratory parade under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Scottish Terrier Club...it's a first for the boys and they'll be all spiffed up with fresh haircuts and even possibly a shamrocked bandana!

And...since you've asked...YES, I do like jazz, particularly vocal jazz! This love affair has been going on for a long time, starting back in Detroit where I barked my knuckles on the drums and sang in several groups. BUT, once I discovered the beauty of this music, there was never any turning back for me. Although I'm not playing I still listen a lot. We're fortunate in Denver to have KUVO-FM that provides one of the best jazz radio outlets in the country. My man Arturo Gomez, Music Director, has done wonders with this station...even in spite of the economic crush that has affected everybody - everywhere.

From time to time, you'll find music artists on our LifeStyles Page, elsewhere on this website...in fact, you'll find lots of good stuff and I invite you to cruise on over to the LifeStyles Page...as we call it...of the not so rich and famous. Join us! If you have a product or service that you would like to share with our visitors to this site, please contact me and let's talk it over! It's FREE!
Here at Dennis Bukantis Marketing, we make it our business to help you in any way that we can with promoting your business, as well as providing you with FREE consultation in the world of medical insurance products...and some related products.

Soon, we're going to be featuring audio messages (the IT people call it Podcasting)...we're working on the production now and getting the various platforms in place. We also expect to move into the world of Internet Television soon too. More on this as we move this along.

Above all, I have tried to make your experience here and with us, a very positive and enjoyable thing..as my friend Carl Bloetscher, one of Detroit's outstanding attorney's says...It's a beautiful thing, Dennis! We couldn't agree more.

Thanks for dropping in on the Words of Wisdom Department...please feel free to comment on anything that you find on this site. You'll find the comment page on this website expressly for that purpose! I would love to hear from you! Until next time!

Medical Insurance For Small Business

2009-03-09T14:25:00.000-07:00

If you're a small business owner/operator, you've come to the right place to learn about setting up quality medical coverage for you and your family.

When I say small business, I mean generally a group of one, with dependents, usually a spouse and children.

Individual Plans for what is called a Business Group of One in Colorado, Michigan and many other states can be a significant way to manage your costs.

Individual major medical plans are usually fully underwritten by insurance companies. While underwriting guidelines vary among companies, if you do purchase coverage under a Small Business Group of One, certain tax advantages and deductions may apply. We urge you to consult your tax professional on this aspect of your plan.

At Dennis Bukantis Marketing, we can assist you in designing just the right coverage based on your wants. We use highly sophisticated eTools to accomplish this for you from start to finish..that is, from the first proposal to the final issue - all done through the web. This saves your precious time, and mine too, while I'm able to provide you an insurance product of your design, efficiently and with the best possible rates available in today's medical insurance marketplace.

I've made a lot of friends out of strangers..and you can read some great testimonials of that fact on the 'Customer Appreciation' page on this website.

If you've noticed our 'Complaint Department' on the Home Page of this website - I'm thinking of closing it down...we just don't get any complaints from our work!! Nah...the Scotties would not like that..after all, they have to earn their life of luxury here at the office! If you ever drop by, I'll introduce you to these charming pure-bred Scottish Terriers, McDuff McTavish and Murphy MacIntosh...McDuff is 4 while 'The Murph' is just a year old...they love people!

Well, from a sort of sunny and hazy day at about a mile-high, I wish you all the best - and look forward to assisting you with your insurance matters - I will really appreciate that opportunity of showing you the best possible experience in filling your wants!

Thanks for dropping in on these Words of Wisdom today!

Life's Little Pleasures

2009-03-05T14:58:00.000-08:00

Here it is about 4pm, MST, and I just finished up a cup of fresh ground and brewed, Mocha Java made with Decaf Sumatra Beans. It was the perfect afternoon beverage, you know from the smell of the fresh beans being ground then giving off it's fragrance when the water hit the grounds...(I use the Melitta method when I'm making only a cup or two)...this whole drink is made with a touch of dark chocolate and then topped with fresh, whipped creme and a dash of cinnamon. Going with this fine cup of coffee was a dark chocolate Biscotti from Paula's Biscotti's out of Michigan. She's an interesting person in that she's developing the bakery, the online store and the goods to provide the BEST Biscotti that I've ever tasted. You can find a recipe that she was gracious enough to share on our friend's website: www.ashleyfamous.com
As jazz vocalist Mark Murphy sang, 'What a Way to Go'!

Speaking of jazz singers, make sure that you visit our LifeStyles Page on this site and check out vocalist and actress, Luba Mason. Her latest CD is called Krazy Love and is a collection of some very good music, mostly in the Brasilian idiom, but guaranteed to make you wanna Samba!...once you're on Luba's site you can find a whole lot of stuff that this lady does including a couple of short videos of her staring on the popular tv show, Law & Order! I believe that you'll find her very pleasing to the ears and eyes...and enormously talented.

We like to bring things to you that are way beyond the world of insurance products - I mean, I'm pretty sure that your life is much more than dealing with insurance, so we like to inform you about things and people that aren't commonly found elsewhere...you know, it's like making the uncommon- common. BUT...when your insurance wants come up, please give me the opportunity of working with you on it - and shucks, if you're in the area drop in...and I'll even make you a cup of fresh Costa Rican Coffee!

Thanks for your visit today and enjoy the music and coffee!

All the best from Denver,
Dennis Bukantis

Health Insurance For Everyone!

2009-03-04T12:09:00.000-08:00

Ok, I've been asked many times over the past couple of days to comment on the talk...and it's just talk, of the government stepping up to the plate to offer some kind of health plan for everybody.

If you've been laid off from an employer and you and your family were covered under a company sponsored health plan, you generally have the option of continuing those benefits under a program called, COBRA. Usually, the coverage is not quite as good as what you had and often times you will be required to pay a whole lot more now even if you were on the co-insurance plan with your employer. And, coverage under COBRA is never to be considered permanent.

But, getting back to the idea that the current administration is talking up now daily. Step back from the television for just a minute and ask yourself; 'Just who is going to pay for this?'

The general consensus of those who seem to understand the current monetary policies of this country feel that it is YOU that will pay for any program of entitlement. It won't be free. There must be a quid pro quo.

Furthermore, expecting the government to manage such a health care plan for everybody is like offering you ownership of any number of bridges over the Hudson River.

I'm trying my best to meet the wants of people that have felt the crunch like most of us have. If you're laid off and need to keep yourself and family insured, I can likely meet your needs, on your basis. I see a trend by people to want to insure themselves for the big bill and take care of the routine things themselves.

Out of pocket cost containment is possible by using the above guidelines. I'll tell you how when you contact me.

If you're reading this article, you can find the quoting link on the Home Page..just provide me basic information and I'll get back with you to talk it over.

Writer John Pugsley, had this to say about the government. "Government doesn't work. You work, I work, FedEx works, Safeway works...but the government doesn't work."

Thanks for dropping into this page..until next time!

Going Bare..or without medical insurance

2009-02-23T20:18:00.000-08:00

For any number of reasons, you may find yourself without major medical coverage. It might be a loss of employee benefits, or an outright loss of a job. While major medical insurance is getting more expensive by the year, the real cost of not having it in the event of a catastrophic health challenge, could be devasting.
Let me explain a very personal situation.

My wife, Claudia, wasn't expecting to be involved in an accident at home a couple of years ago, and in the process, shattered her right shoulder and her left leg and ankle. This was an unplanned accident.

By the time she got done with the ambulance rides, hosptitals, surgeries, rehabilitation centers, physical therapy, home nurse visits, additional doctor's office visits, all kinds of Durable Medical supplies...and things I can't remember...the bills exceeded $600,000.00. That's not $600, or $6000 bucks...but Six Hundred Thousand.

So...it turns out that 'going bare' that is, without any coverage can be VERY expensive. In Claudia's case, I'm glad that we were properly covered or I'd still be paying on that one.

I like to think that most of us in our situations, can afford to handle the sneezes and sniffles on our own, but sometimes, even those require some kind of medical intervention. What really should be a concern of yours are the BIG BILLS.

Today's insurance products that I offer are unique in that you can have pretty much what you want, from plans that cover everything or just the catastrophic events....the BIG BILLS.

In selecting your benefits, if you don't use Prescription drugs, you might consider not having this as a benefit on your plan. There is a lot of flexibility in choosing Doctor Office Co-pays too.
Flexibility in choosing co-insurances is a new thing too. Regardless of what you decide on, I'm very confident that I can assist you in custom designing just the right product for you.

Getting your input as to what you want for coverage is the way that I do it here at Dennis Bukantis Marketing. It seems to work, in that the two guys pictured on the Home Page, McDuff and Murphy, don't get any complaints! We like it better that way.

I am available to discuss your insurance wants with you right here from my office. Please email me or contact me by telephone for a Satisfaction Guaranteed experience. We have a full array of quality products of which one of them is just right for you and your family!

Thanks for your visit and taking the time to read these words!

All the best,

All of A Sudden

2009-02-15T13:13:00.000-08:00

Hello and thanks for stoppin' in to read my scribes.

Lately, I'm getting a fair number of inquiries from people who all of a sudden have found themselves without a job and in some cases, without major medical insurance.

If you're one that has unfortunately been laid off or furloughed with or without benefits, I may be able to assist you in finding suitable coverage, either on a temporary basis or permanent.

If you were on a employer Group Plan, then chances are you were or will be offered to retain some of your insurance benefits through a program called, COBRA.

COBRA is NOT a long-term program and often times benefits are never the same as your Group Plan and the cost is usually much higher than plans that you can obtain on an individual basis.

I offer quite a few options to meet both your short-term and permanent goals for major medical coverage. Please take a few minutes and tell me about your wants on the Contact Page found elsewhere on my Home Page. I'll be back with you quickly and can often have you covered in 24 hours! Zounds!

My heart goes out to you if you have been the victim of a company downsizing or even closing. I know personally, the feeling that you have.

I'm here to help you as efficiently as I can and making it not only much easier to understand medical insurance coverage but to enjoy the experience in working with me.

Please contact me and we can personally discuss your major medical insurance needs in a very confidential manner. I welcome the opportunity to get to know you and assist you with some of your needs and help you with your aspirations, even in a small way!

Oh yes, a couple of visitors that I have talked with wanted to know about that waterfall scene on the Home Page...that's me in front of Multnomah Falls, a lovely spot in Oregon, a short ride from Portland..if you're out that way, you'll be delighted that you took the drive along the Columbia River to this place of awe!

All my best, and back with you soon,Dennis Bukantis and the Scotties!

Welcome!

2009-02-10T13:05:00.000-08:00
