The deadline for obtaining health insurance before Lifetime Community Rating commences is the end of April.   Lifetime Community Rating means that after this month older people will pay more than younger people for health insurance.   There is some logic to this because older people cost health insurers more money in claims and younger less frequent claiming customers are needed to subsidize the older claimers.  However it is an overly simplified view of health using only one variable, age, to determine your health status.

Peter played on the Irish Aussie Rules team again last Saturday in a very hot Dulwich College in South London. This was the return leg of the test match played a few weeks ago against Great Britain. It was a good day for the Irish Warriors winning by 73 points to 36.

Peter had Dr Tammy on hand for an interchange adjustment and a curious onlooker was Robert DiPierdomenico (pictured with Peter), affectionately known as Dipper. He was a star player in his day in AFL and might be known over here from his commentary on the International Rules series. Known for his on-field toughness he might make a good mentor for Peter!

Congratulations to Peter Ross of Life and Balance Centre, who made his Ireland Aussie Rules debut last Saturday in the Irish Warriors test match against The British Bulldogs in Dublin.  It was a close game with the Ireland team eventually winning 59 to 54.  Peter had a solid performance and made a significant contribution to the win.

Peter who also plays Gaelic Football is aiming to get his place on the Irish team that will travel to Australia in August for the International Cup.  This international tournament that runs every three years will decide who is the best team in the world outside Australia.

Dr. Tammy Verlaan-Ross was invited to speak to the Conscious Living Dublin Group on 14th April.  Dr. Tammy presented Stress Management.  Find the Bless in the Mess.
