NATION’S BIGGEST PROBLEM
Insurance Premiums, Deductibles & Co-Pays Are Making Us All Sick! By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com No matter who our president is in 2020, you can almost guarantee that the winner of the election will at least have some plan to lower health insurance premiums. There is no getting around the fact that we are paying an unbelievable amount of money, forcing many to go without. Even paying the penalty is not going to make someone get something they cannot afford. Let’s face it, we have lost our grip on this issue.

as a way to get the word out, social media is now at the center of every major business, countries, education and just plain socially. South Florida Sun Times Newspaper President Craig Farquhar, who has watched his product grow with a physical newspaper, website and social media platforms, believes that most are a member of some form of social media, and tapping into them has kept many businesses alive and thriving. “In our case, we have had a physical publication that many read each week for nearly two decades, and for that we are very appreciative,” he points out. “But we also understand that to broaden our product and
