May 5th, 1923 – December 25th, 2019 Ruth Louis died on Christmas Day after suffering a bad fall days earlier. At 96 years old she lived a full life, bringing brightness, laughter, and love to her family and friends. Ruth was always an active volunteer and leader. (In fact, she once said that you couldn’t fail to be a leader when you’re almost six feet tall.) She lived at Carmel Valley Manor for the last 12 years where she served on and led multiple committees and participated in many clubs. Before moving to Carmel she spent 45 years in Marin County. She was married to Walter Louis (who died in 1994) and they raised their three sons, Augie, Chris, and Dan, as well as four stepchildren in Larkspur and Tiburon.

Ruth was a proud graduate (1945) of the University of Michigan. She was raised in Evanston, Illinois, and brought to California many stories about her Midwestern roots. She was an avid sports fan and a reader, always willing to discuss either in an engaging conversation. Since she was so much fun, genuine and caring, Ruth was beloved by her family, including her three sons, her three daughters-in-law, and her nine grandchildren who all came to visit her as often as possible. She delighted in showing pictures of her three great-grandchildren. Friends are invited to join her family in celebrating her life on Saturday, February 15th, 11 a.m. at All Saints Episcopal Church, 9th and Dolores, Carmel.

PITY THE small business owner. From restaurants, to retail stores, to law firms, and, yes, to newspapers, the cost of providing health insurance to employees has gotten so high, nobody can believe it. And yet, nobody does anything about it, either. Not to make a poster child out of ourselves, but since we have the figures right here at hand, we might as well write about The Pine Cone. In 2014, which was the last full year before Obamacare went into effect for us, our company-wide annual health insurance premium (for 11 em- ployees and seven dependents, or a total of 18 people) was $66,360. This year, for 12 employees and five dependents (17 people) it is a whop- ping $149,954. Are you kidding me? If our coverage has gotten any better, it certainly doesn’t seem that way. And everybody is still beset with a big yearly deductible — $4,000 or so — which makes them just as hesitant as ever to go to the doctor. As we have said before, Obamacare is great for the people who get free medical care or enjoy heavily subsidized premiums. Meanwhile, everyone over 65 also has free or very low-cost health care thanks to Medicare, and for the rich who are under 65, health care is just another easily manageable personal expense. But what about the rest of us? Once again, the great population of work- ing people who give this country much of its prosperity and who pay most of its taxes are just screwed. And no one seems to care. Several months ago, at one of the Democratic Party debates for presiden- “Who’s walking who?” tial candidates, every single person on the stage said they think the govern- ment should offer free health care to illegal immigrants.
