Pay attention to what comes out of your mouth. The language you use affects how you experience your world, and how others experience you. Inevitably, things get “lost in translation.”

If you’re familiar with cognitive distortion or cognitive bias, these psychology terms teach us that there are subtle ways that our mind can convince us of something that isn’t really true. These inaccurate thoughts are usually used to reinforce negative thinking or emotions, thus holding us back.

We all do this, both consciously and unconsciously, and how we do it provides pointers to our underlying beliefs about ourselves, our peers, partners and colleagues, and the immediate world around us.

This could spell trouble. Which of these do you do? Check the areas below and be courageous enough to ask a trusted peer for perspective. Is it a problem?

All five members of the Wadstein family have Covered California’s most comprehensive — and expensive — level of health insurance, even though the two youngest children are the only ones who need that kind of plan.

Zachariah, 8, and Zoey, 2, have a serious metabolic disorder, but the El Cajon family was told it couldn’t purchase a benefit-rich plan for them and a separate, cheaper policy for the other three, said their mom, Christine Wadstein.

That’s about to change. This month, Covered California began making it easier for families like the Wadsteins to choose different health plans for different members of the family.

http://www.healthcaredive.com/news/battle-of-the-bulls-aetna-threatened-aca-participation-over-humana-merger/424640/

  • In July, Aetna sent a letter to the Justice Department insinuating it would leave the ACA market if its pending merger with Humana was blocked by the DOJ, The Huffington Post reported.
  • Aetna announced late Monday it was exiting nearly 70% of the ACA markets it participated in next year (parsing down 778 counties to 242).
  • On Monday, CEO Mark Bertolini cited losses in the millions as the reason for the decision. However, the July letter obtained by The Huffington Post implies the decision was more influenced by the Justice Department lawsuit.
