Texting While Walking Earns $85 Fine
ARLO KALLEMEYN I know from experience that more and more drivers are texting whi le driv ing. You ca n just tell. They think that driving 5 miles below the speed limit will give them the extra time to read or write a text - and no one will ever know. What they hope no one else notices is that they drift out of their lane, slam on their brakes at the last minute, and sit at the stop light long after it has turned green. A New Jersey town is tired of people texting while driving – and while wa l k ing. For t Lee New Jersey has had 3 fatalities t hat were caused by people tex t i ng wh i le crossing the street. I’m guessing that they forgot t h e i r p a r e n t ’s a d v i c e to look both ways. Fort Lee, N.J. police said they w i l l beg i n issu i ng $ 85 t icket s to pe de st r ia n s
who are caught texting while wa lk ing. Perhaps the pedestrians in New Jersey don’t rea li ze a l l the features of their fancy tex t i ng mach i nes. T he new features of electronic gadgets are hard to keep up with after all. Maybe t he y don’t k now t h at their texting machine has a great feature, they can press a single button or tap the screen once, hold it up to their ear, and actually talk to the person on the other end. That way they can keep both eyes on the sidewalk in front of them. Any way, I hope it helps keep people safer in New Jersey – I’m just not sure you can cure stupid with an $85 ticket.

Yugoslavian Couple Still Likes Me
On Ju ly 13, 2015, a s e n ior c it i z e n c ou p le visited me for help with a medical bill problem. The couple is originally from Yugoslavia and they now live in Schererville, Indiana. I made phone ca l ls with them to check on a medica l bi l l f rom 2013 for $150. The compa ny that sent the bill claimed that the man had signed a d o c u m e nt a l lo w i n g t hem to bi l l h i m even i f Med ica re ref used to help pay for the medical e qu ipment . I told t he biller to send a copy of t hat doc u ment to ou r client for his review. Then, I explained to the client that if he did sign such a document, I would not be able to help him regarding the bill. “ T h a t ’s o k a y. I u n d e r s t a n d . I t ’s n o problem. You helped us plenty before,� the man told me.
“Do you remember helping us before? � his wife asked me. “Last time, you helped us with a bill that I got. You saved us about seven t hou sa nd dollars.� I recognized t he couple as clients that I had helped earlier, but I had forgotten those details. I guess they still like me. They invited me to attend a Serbia n fest iva l w it h t hem at a loca l church later this year. I like being appreciated. Note : Woodrow Wi lcox is the senior medical bill c a se worker at Sen ior Care Insurance Services in Merrillville, Indiana. He has saved clients of t hat i nsu ra nce agenc y over one million dollars by cor rec t i ng med ic a l bi l l e r r or s c au s e d b y mistakes in the Medicare system. He wrote the book S O LV I N G M E D I C A R E PROBLEM$.
