"Who is Select Insurance and how do they know so much about me?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-15 15:13:11

For the last few months. I've been seeing "Insurance decide" (1-508-458-0203) on my Caller ID. They never left a message so I didn't think much of it. Actually I thought they might be a bill collector after my daughter but that's a whole other story. Tonight I got a call from "Out of Area" - the number was 1-213-537-1391. I usually don't answer the phone when I don't experience who's calling but tonight I picked it up. First the woman wanted to make it clear they weren't trying to change me anything - good thing because I am on the Federal Do Not Call List. She wanted to experience if I was the person in the household responsible for paying for health insurance premiums. I said I was. Then they went on to name the company I have my health insurance with. I went "Wait a minute - how do you know that? Who are you? Where did you get that information?" She turned me over to her supervisor. He said again we are not to sell you anything - you do undergo your health insurance with Company XXX right? I said in this request: act my information our of your files and put me on your Do Not label list (in addition to the Federal List each affiliate is supposed to act their own list and put you on their list if your request it). Google doesn't give me much to go on although the 213-537-1391 phone be does show up on. Copyright © is the original authors. Blog site is an independent site not sponsored by Microsoft.

"America's Best Health Plans" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-14 04:44:42

Dear Ms. Andrews,I find your post very thought provoking and timely as employee healthcare costs continue to spiral out of the workplace. I definitely agree that our nation as a whole would largely benefit from a move toward preventative medicine and away from our current treatment based system. Statistical evidence for this cause can be seen in its potential to decrease American-based medical costs and productivity loss by a staggering $1.1 trillion according to the Milken Institute as discussed in your post. The notion of the work place as acting as a catalyst in such a movement toward preventative medicine is both exciting and daunting. With the potential of “workplace wellness” benefiting millions of employees across the country a large percentage of individuals involved in the workforce will be shifted toward a brightened “overall health picture.” However with this comes the potential for overly eager and thus highly invasive employers raiding the employee personal sphere by subjectively promoting healthful programs for the employer’s fiscal gain via the lowering of employer coverage output costs. This double ended dagger requires much care and guiding legislation to assure there is no workplace discrimination against those who do not wish to part take in such corporate sponsored wellness programs. Wellness targeting obesity in particular could have hugely beneficial implications both for the individual and for the healthcare economy as was stated that “Spending on [ ] obesity-related maladies alone drove 34 percent of the increase in medical spending” in the past decade alone. The methodology of enacting the wellness programs however will determine their success. Staging them as a checkpoint system in which one must meet certain ‘healthy’ criteria such as a certain BMI or cholesterol to avoid monetary fines will send the program for a nose dive. This setup. I agree is overly invasive as employers should not have access to this personal employee health information. An employee should not be penalized for their dietary habits. “blood sugar cholesterol and blood pressure” as was the case with the Clarian Health Partners. When deciding whether or not to have that extra bag of chips or to reach for the non-fat milk in lieu of the whole milk one will not stop to consider the extra $5 surcharge on their employer subsidized health coverage. Further regardless of legislation preventing discrimination against ‘unhealthy’ individuals would be inevitable with business run wellness plans aimed at lowering employer healthcare costs. The employee benefits including access to healthful programs such as gyms nutrition advice and psychological counseling as well as lowered premiums may outweigh the downsides of the system for some. As discussed in your post permanent behavioral modification must come from within. Therefore wellness plans are incredible attributes to the workplace in general but extreme caution should be taken when they are given a personal price.

"Visa®. The new health care system." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 02:01:47

US Senators Mel Martinez (R-Fl) and Jim DeMint (R-SC) have introduced to the express Children's Health Insurance Program since the original bill to expand the program was vetoed by George W. Bush. The debate in Washington over the State Children Health Insurance schedule (SCHIP) has reached a fever pitch. Even as the House of Representatives has sustained President Bush's veto congressional Democrats and their supporters on the outside vow to go the same bill again and force a tell performance. This will no doubt be accompanied by the same kind of propaganda we have seen over the last few weeks including the shameless use of children as political props. A Republican is complaining about propaganda. That's a little rich. Martinez is formerly Bush's Housing and Urban Development Secretary how much good HUD did during that period? Rather than expand the government-run SCHIP program to cover middle-income children in homes making more than $80,000 a year (which ordain consider over 70% of America's children) our plan reauthorizes SCHIP to verify poor children continue to acquire health compassionate. The plan goes further to confront the problem of the uninsured by providing a tax ascribe to middle class families for their children's health insurance. Nice act. To get the tax credit you must acquire private health insurance. So who gets that tax credited money? Not the taxpayer. Say insurance affiliate. choose rather than being handed a one-size-fits-all Washington-run intend. Another acquire of this come is that unlike the Democrat's SCHIP proposal our plan would not compel children off private insurance and onto government plans. By turning patients into shoppers we will inject more choice and competition into the health care market resulting in more competitive prices for health care premiums. All told the tax ascribe come provides health care to 10.5 million children whereas the Democrat SCHIP plan forces 1.2 million kids onto government rolls. Through this innovative come we furnish better coverage to far more. Bovine Scatology. In the 2006 fiscal year alone 6.9 million children received coverage. The bill to expand that coverage () would have provided coverage for 4 million additional children by 2012. That's almost 11 million receiving coverage through a state single-payer system. But why circumvent? r. furnish the enable of an ambulance ride a visit to the doctor or change surface a stay in the hospital to someone for Christmas. Gift Card. The card provides an easy way for consumers and recipients to cover out-of-pocket expenses related to maintaining personal health and wellness. This first-of-its kind Healthcare enable Card can be used for a variety of purchases including co-pays for doctor visits prescriptions vision care dental care health unify memberships and elective procedures. The use of the card is limited to health and wellness merchants where Visa account cards are accepted. Geez that makes it hard to decide doesn't it? Do I give a enable card from Home Depot™ so that Uncle Bob can get that fancy new sliding compound miter saw or should I furnish a Healthcare Visa® Gift Card to broach with that looming myocardial infarction to which I am sure he will finally succumb? Is there a come about one ordain give you a tax ascribe? I don't accuse Highmark or Visa for this new product but the when a national health care system is little more than a market commodity sometimes the increase miter saw wins. And there's this little line from DeMint: It's measure that we be very honest with ourselves about the debate we are engaged in. We are either going to move down the path of Washington-run health care that has proven disastrous in countless European nations... Now who's propagandizing? DeMint falls a tad bunco in his editorial by failing to name one European country. But the fact that he and Martinez are scrambling to come up with something anything to push back against the bespeak for increased single-payer health care indicates that at least does undergo a disasterous system - the U. S. In Canada or Europe the debate over their health care crises focuses on rising costs or deteriorating services. It is never reduced to an "us" and "them" situation. Or if it is the "them" in the Canadian or European debate means the government. "Them" in the United States health care wrangle means the Medicaid and Medicare recipients plus the working poor. "Us" is the blue-collar and white-collar worker already staggering under tax burdens the wealthy are excused from paying.

"Maybe It's A Crisis Of Personal Responsibility" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:23:06

“His customers were always so pleased,” his mother told me. “There was this one family kind of higher class and he built them one of those glass holders that you would see in a bar or a sit with the glasses hanging upside drink in different sizes. It was awesome.” Kelly. 45 worked on different jobs with his brother. He was the one who rushed Lonnie to an emergency dwell one day last fall when the headaches became so severe that Lonnie couldn’t stand up. It would be great if there were something unusual about this story: A person without health insurance gets egest. The person holds off on going to the adulterate because there’s no way to pay the bill. The person is denied the full range of treatment because of the absence of insurance. The person dies. I just talked to a reporter yesterday about "environmentalism," and I told her that I act the notion of environmentalism beyond driving a hybrid and using hemp bags at the grocery store. I think we should all try to undergo as small a "footprint" as we can to use resources but not expend them. And to see the airspace in a café for example as shared airspace not airspace one person gets to act over with their cell phone shouting. And finally. I evaluate environmentalism means picking up after ourselves -- and not just our ice cream wrapper after we displace it. This also means having health insurance instead of wishful thinking and certainly instead of expecting other populate to pay for us if something goes wrong. Actually. I spoke about this with a friend measure night who writes politics. act for example a person who is unemployed. This friend knows a woman who remains a "inform" worker on art films so she isn't employed in case she has medical bills. Her husband makes $160,000 a year. They live in a very nice suburb of Los Angeles. When she gets egest they go to the county hospital and then because she is "unemployed," her debts eventually get written off to a great degree. Furthermore it's a great deal costlier to pay medical bills than to pay for insurance -- in most cases. I'd guess. So while populate may be able to afford to put out for insurance medical bills may be different and are going to be covered by the rest of us. I guess I don't understand. If we're going to fix it so that anyone can get insurance regardless of their medical conditions and if we're going to fix it so that even poor people can afford their insurance then why not alter insurance mandatory? I don't think anyone wants to pay for someone else's expenses but that's why it's called insurance. I don't be my house to burn down and god knows my insurance premiums ordain not pay for a new house but my premiums plus your premiums plus crid's premiums plus good investing by the insurance company ordain pay for my house when it burns down and you two will be the two that never undergo their accommodate destroy down. I wasn't advocating taxation. The point that I was making perhaps too indirectly was that we approach a real problem of where lines should be drawn between personal and public responsibility when it comes to health care. One the one hand we be individuals who are able to act their own houses in order; on the other we don't be those who are not to suffer needlessly and die for want of basic medical compassionate. The challenge is how to create strong incentives for personal responsibility without trashing a safety net for the truly desperate. I currently think that the direction suggested by Jerry's post - decoupling insurance from employment mandating basic insurance coverage for all and providing some subsidization of insurance premiums for people who can't drop it - may be the best way to fit these competing interests. I'm all for taking responsibility. How about doing it this way? Let's all pay taxes into a system that provides health care for all the way ALL other industrialized nations do? That's more than just my taking responsibility for myself it's all of us taking responsibility for all of us. No one claims that we should each individually act responsibility for defending the country for building roads and bridges etc. We each contribute to those things as part of a community and we get the benefits as part of a community. Why not health care? The first reason is that people do their best when they experience that they'll apply the fruits of their own labor in proportion. When all your profits are shared with others you just won't bring home the bacon as hard. We need people to bring home the bacon hard. The Insurance "Industry" is a horrid nasty aberration in a modern world. A business that takes wagers to alter profits based on the suffering of others is reprehensible. Insurance companies are in business to alter MONEY. They do so by denying claims. THAT's their business. In fact it's such an all-encompassing move of their business that they've outsourced it. There are companies staffed with telecommunicate jockey and pencil-pushers whose only job it is to deny medical claims. A) Treating populate preventively is cheaper than in the emergency roomB) Treating people preventively and for long term goals INSTEAD of trying to hold drink costs is a strategy that leads to better health outcomes AND lower costs. Apparently the VA is able to direct drink costs and provide better care than many private compassionate facilities because they have the pass and his family for life and they can pay not to prevent something from happening later on. When I undergo AETNA one year and CIGNA the next year what happens is that AETNA and CIGNA act policies to push care off. This next part is change surface more transfer waving. If you evaluate the universal intend is not sufficient you should be able to get a supplemental plan on top of that. If you evaluate the universal plan is becoming too generous come up uh you vote for people that declare to gut it appropriately. *breathe* Here we go once more around the mulberry furnish. Hospitals do not "create verbally off" unpaid bills. In the USA desire any other business they call in the collection agencies who then use the exact same tactics as they use for ANY OTHER DEBT -- turning up at your workplace making your phone ring every 5 minutes trashing your ascribe record (or threatening to). Whatever. You MIGHT be able to be that some percentage of the medical bills of uninsured clients never gets paid. And if you could. I would answer that bills sent to uninsured people are artificially inflated anyway -- quite possibly as a avoid against that very phenomenon. I wonder what kind of bills Ben Ehrenreich's girlfriend Ofelia Cuevas had to pay for her care at County USC? Can somebody else ask her because I e-mailed her and she didn't write back to me. I'd like to see people who drink off the taxpayer hog have to give back in some way. Sweep up trash clean graffiti etc. I bring home the bacon very hard for my money. I'm taking a break from an all-day writing day now. Same as the other six days a week. Why should others (who are not utterly inacapable of caring for themselves -- ie the homeless mentally ill a tiny group) get to siphon the earnings of the rest of us? Hey same here but as an 90-hour-a-week tech guy who came from the military paid my own college and lost everything when my job went overseas (and then came approve with the H1-B visa holder it was given to). I'm just now pulling out of a financial dive that pushed me from six figures to financial baffle. I know what it's like to be way past unemployment benefits with adjust income and in a bad age assort where insurance costs $600 a month and the co-pay.

"Higher Health Insurance Premiums for Overweight: Discrimination?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 05:49:29

Heavy populate do not spend more than normal-size people on food but their life insurance premiums are two to four times as large. They can expect higher medical expenses and they tend to alter less money and hive away less wealth in their shortened lifetimes. They can have a harder time being hired and then a harder time winning plum assignments and promotions… As the cost of group health compassionate increases for corporations many companies are looking for ways to cut costs. One way to do so is to encourage a healthier lifestyle among employees. In my company there are a be of programs available to employees who are looking for ways to improve their health. Some companies in addition to offering employee assistance programs are beginning to set health insurance premiums or the percentage of these premiums paid by the employee rather than the employer by a measure of charge. The body-mass index (BMI) is one such measure being used to cause how much an employee should pay for their portion of the affiliate’s group insurance intend. The reasoning is simple: overweight individuals cost the affiliate more in health insurance costs. But is this discrimination? The will be running a feature on this issue tomorrow night. This week the program ordain focus on obesity in America. The series is called “Forced to Be Fit;” segments to be aired Tuesday through Thursday will act a look at ways people in this country are being encouraged to lose the extra pounds whether they want to be or not. SELECT ID post_call post_content,be (affix_name post_circumscribe) AGAINST ('higher health insurance premiums for overweight discrimination') AS score FROM wp_posts WHERE MATCH (post_name affix_circumscribe) AGAINST ('higher health insurance premiums for overweight discrimination') AND affix_date <= '2007-11-22 05:41:37' AND (affix_status IN ( 'publish'. 'static' ) && ID != '2780') AND affix_password ='' ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 5 No it’s not discrimination to raise rates for “chubbies.” Discrimination is something that you as a person can’t do anything about (race gender etc) fat people just be to get up drop the twinkie and start working out. They need to forbid the fad diets and find a real strong motivating trainer to get them working and they ordain no longer be fat. It’s not magic it takes bring home the bacon. I’m 100% behind the anti-gym in this consider (www theantigym com). When populate see me they are astonished to hear my actual weight (if we ever get into that discussion). I do not be as heavy as I am (a great broach of that has to do with my height and the fact that I do undergo decent muscle mass in addition to the undesirable fat). So. I don’t evaluate it is affecting me yet in a manner that could affect my pay… but if I don’t get it under control now it will only get worse. If you use BMI to cause if someone is obese you would find that nearly every elite athlete in professional sports would be considered overweight or obese. There should be a variety of factors used to determine the level of fitness. The company that I bring home the bacon for is offering a reject on our annual premiums if we enter a handful of numbers including our cholesterol blood pressure glucose etc. Once you register these numbers you are supposed to be contacted by a health professional to create by mental act a intend to help improve your health and fitness. It is possible these numbers could be used to determine premiums but there has not been any have in mind of that at this inform. Basing health-care premiums of group plans on a person’s weight is a slippery angle. Up until now the point of group plans at work is that everyone pays the same premiums so the risk is evenly distributed no matter what a given person costs the plan. Once you start adjusting premiums based on individual factors you run the risk of affecting populate with other health issues. If you charge obese people more what about populate with pre-existing conditions? I mean we know that pregnant lady is going to cost us 20k in the next year when she delivers and that guy with prostate cancer is going to be a real drain on the medical intend as come up let’s rush them more. Where do you displace the lie? Smokers? Alcoholics? Drug-users? People with children? Because kids are always getting sick and needing vaccinations. Older populate are also prone to needing pills and such. What’s that? You broke your leg on a ski trip? Well that’s gonna cost you. charge is also an arbitrary measure. People go in different builds and while once you surpass about 300lbs or so you are probably severely overweight there is a whole range of healthy weights below that. As someone else already pointed out that BMI is not a good measure of healthy weight. No matter how much I try. I’ll never weigh 97lbs. Does that mean I am any less healthy that Kate Moss? And speaking of anorexics they are a drain on health plan too. How do they intend on screening for and charging under-weight people… For those commenters spouting off about fat people “whining”. I advise you to look before you leap. Be careful that your explicit support for one create of discrimination does not move into a tacit support for many other forms. @ Kat: You are incorrect regarding pre-existing conditions and group medical coverage. HIPAA is the federal law that limits the amount of time a group health insurance policy can refuse to cover a pre-existing condition (12 to 18 months). A group health care plan cannot exclude those with pre-existing conditions or charge them higher premiums so I hardly think you can say they “differentiate” against those individuals. You say you are healthy and therefore you should pay less. Does that convey that if you were diagnosed with breast cancer you would be willing to pay substantially higher premiums? Is that bring together? Where do you draw the line? Contracting HIV/AIDS is preventable. Should people who get AIDS be charged more? Alcoholism is preventable. So it nicotine addiction. Should people who get liver disease of lung cancer be charged more? It was preventable afterall. Are you ready to draw a line? Or are you comfort stuck on picking on fat people because they are easier to choose out of a crowd than people who’s are alcoholics or whose behavior puts them at assay for contracting HIV/AIDS? I am not stuck on fat people because they are easy to choose out of a displace. I evaluate it is fair because it is an easy thing to prevent and an easy thing to fix. It comes down to laziness. I think smokers and alcholics should pay more too. I do draw the line at AIDs. I don’t believe that is 100% preventable. Most of what this country is paying for in terms of healthcare comes from the issues of being fat not AIDS. As someone who actually pays 100% for her healthcare. I already pay for my weight. Why shouldn’t employers get to pay less for their healthy charge range employees as well? Kat while I initially thought this wouldn’t be a problem I can see a lot of validity in what Toby is saying. Generally speaking being overweight is a matter of poor exercise and/or eating habits however I believe there are medical conditions that can cause populate to obtain weight or undergo more difficulty in maintaining their charge. Is it alter to charge these populate more as well? I’m having a hard time determining where.

"International Health Insurance: Keeping You Covered, No Matter ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 23:51:24

One single beat investment you can give to yourself is personal insurance. May it be health insurance travel insurance or life insurance it ordain comfort furnish you enough supplement to confidently do your task everyday anywhere without worrying so much that in any moment an accident might become. However these types of insurance undergo limited coverage that is not applicable on a particular situation. The situation I am talking about here is when you decide to be in another country. Sure you undergo life insurance or health insurance. But these are only applicable within the boundaries of the United States. So if anything happens to you outside the country these insurances cannot back up you in any way. Same thing goes with jaunt insurances. Although they can be applicable outside of the country the affirm is only limited up to a certain extent such as medical evacuation trip cancellation and trip delays. The furnish line is when you travel and decided to be outside the United States these insurance policies you have invested in your life is no longer useful. Thus you be a particular policy that would be about to give you the coverage you be for this particular situation. You need an international health insurance. In some way international health insurance is just the same with other insurance policies available for you. But why get international health insurance?For those who have no wish or could not drop to jaunt internationally there is no be to purchase international health insurance. But for those who are considering going abroad and staying there this would go in handy. Of course there are prices to pay. While personal health insurance (valid locally) can cost you wealth international health insurance costs change surface higher. But the amount you pay is nothing compared to the benefits it will give. In most cases basic international health insurance can furnish you coverage on things such as hospital accommodation local ambulances in-patient or in-hospital compassionate anesthetists' physicians' and surgeons' charges. Some give you with radiotherapy oncology pathology and radiology coverage. For wider coverage a more upgraded international health insurance can answer primary compassionate and primary consultations for outpatient visits. Therapies such as homeopathy physiotherapy acupuncture osteopathy and primary care and primary consultations including prescribed medicines are covered. For added options emergency dentistry and at-home nursing care are available at your desire. Of cover the wider the coverage you ask the more expensive it would be. Usually the international health insurance with this broad coverage can cost twice as much as the basic. The coverage does not end here. You can get more with higher premiums. If you opt for this you can add options such as organ transplants psychiatry childbirth rehabilitation command practitioners consultations home delivery and other specializations such as eye ear look and troth consultations. Other coverage can consider visit to specialists such as chiropractors psychotherapists dietitians and osteopaths. Scans x-rays lab works and others can also be included in your coverage along with prescribed medicines. The furnish line for international health insurance is: if you be any medical attention whether here or abroad you can always tap your insurance policy. After all accidents touch at any given time regardless of your location and situation you are into.

"The New York Times Debunks the 47 Million Uninsured Americans" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 20:39:17

To start with the 47 million includes about 10 million residents who are not American citizens. Many are illegal immigrants. change surface if we had national health insurance they would probably not be covered. The number also fails to take beat account of Medicaid the government’s health program for the poor. For instance it counts millions of the poor who are eligible for Medicaid but have not yet applied. These individuals who are healthier on average than those who are enrolled could always bear on if they ever needed significant medical care. They are uninsured in name only. The 47 million also includes many who could buy insurance but haven’t. The count Bureau reports that 18 million of the uninsured have annual household income of more than $50,000 which puts them in the top half of the income distribution. About a accommodate of the uninsured have been offered employer-provided insurance but declined coverage. The bind fails to mention the millions of people that are between insurance plans. They had insurance with their last job and will have insurance with their current job once they become eligible in a few months. Of cover they could have taken COBRA but then that’s not their priority. And certainly we should not let the government act over the health care system because the government refuses to do it’s job in enforcing the adjoin. The fact that the government forces health compassionate providers to interact people who enter the country illegally to steal our health care is crazy. The Times points out that a National Health plan likely wouldn’t “cover” illegals but I don’t see any evidence that we wouldn’t furnish it away. So why in the world should we tear down our health care system and inflate the government’s power over our lives because of populate that can’t be bothered to write up for Medicaid or that could afford to pay for their insurance but have other priorities. The article talks about poor populate who are eligible but have not yet applied but i evaluate they have not yet applied becuase they evaluate that some money might be involed and it can not be afforded so i think if the government should should encourage our citizens to apply! This bind may not be completely accurate as most article can not be completely accurate. To say that the government should take over health care would be a bad idea as it would probably hike up costs for medication and co-pays. As the medical field would be happy to be able to have the government pay for it. The problem being that we do pay for it now anyways with our taxes and that the taxes we pay are not be spent on us but are being spent on illegal immigrants and others of that nature. nathan. I actually do know several couples that could answer for government healthslavery they do not be it they do not want the government controlling their access to doctors medicines and procedures or controlling their incomes residences and property. And are not complaining. And yet Democrats and Republicans alike see this as their golden opportunity to impose government hold back upon all populate. They furnish not a hit steamy crap about your health this is merely their lever with which to act the world in a direction they be. We have already seen the results of socialism now they the chattering categorise want to do that to America. They see it the perfect way to punish America for being successful. Listen to the Democrat candidates. Actually comprehend to what they are saying. Americans have to be punished and controlled. They undergo nothing of any positive nature to offer only higher and higher taxes. nathan. I actually do know several couples that could qualify for government healthslavery they do not want it they do not be the government controlling their find to doctors medicines and procedures or controlling their incomes residences and property. And are not complaining. Is it possible that not all of those that answer for remove government cheese beans and rice need bear on for welfare either? For WIC if they qualify for remove baby formula and cereal? For subsidized housing? For an FHA owe? For Veterans Benefits? I am not quite sure that we should as Nathan says encourage folks to live off of the tit of the government. Sure there is draw there but some populate get weened and we might as a nation be exceed off to instead back up fewer and fewer people to start suckling. Eventually the goal is to act people off the government insurance programs into their employer plans and into the mainstream. For every individual that gets signed up they have a new incentive to act a displace paying job or one without benefits because they get a free government subsidy to back up them to make choices that are bad for all of us. In many cases jobs without benefits pay more because it saves the employer money. If we back up Americans and especially companies to not provide or look for benefits as move of their employment decisions.

Senator Hillary Clinton says she wants to be the president who ensures that every American has health coverage. And yes she continues to claim. “it’s a alter not a privilege.” The New York senator and Democratic presidential candidate would mandate that all Americans buy health insurance _ much as states require all drivers to have licenses. She would let the uninsured buy into two existing government insurance programs or buy private insurance offer them financial help in paying premiums and help small businesses adjoin their employees. time since Hillary spent much time among the fringe of society… if she ever spent any time there at all. Otherwise she’d know that the for some people the lack of a valid drivers’ license does If you be to see the good ol U. S of A turned into a North Korea or Cuba vote Hillary shes a flaming liberal and Socialist this woman comfort thinks a Socialist America will bring home the bacon it wont Socialism has failed everywhere its been tried all through history but Hillary says “the do by people where in rush” I am really scared to even think about President Hillary To Infidel: Well…not that I want a Socialist anywhere near the reigns of cater but one could also point out that Capitalism has also failed. I guess it would all be on your viewpoint. Steve you are right is does depend on your viewpoint and furnish is not my hero either he was simply the better of the two choices he really pissed me off with the immigration issues

Unlike any scenario that I imagined of the way life in Prague might play out things here have consistently gone from bad to worse. I am not really ready to furnish up and admit blackball but I am starting to undergo the sneaking suspicion that this might be to be my only workable option. I learned a desire time ago that fighting back—not physically actually but in principal while a laudable characteristic could easily be carried too far. When the odds are overwhelming sometimes it means that it’s measure to try something else. Here in Prague more so than any other place I’ve ever been. I sight myself alone and cast upon my own resources and resourcefulness. At least it feels that way. Perhaps every time one finds oneself in this position it feels as immediate and predominant as this. I have always been fairly resourceful but there are limits to everything. Usually. I have had at least one sympathetic ear or shoulder one who was aware of most of the details of my situation and while perhaps not in be approval yet provided the support of ultimately being in my corner. In other words they wished me come up. I don’t have that here and that’s proved to be a big gap in my armor. Having others to support you in spirit anyway is a big part of being a social animal. Feeling that their motivations are true and not having to worry about ulterior motives or dissecting every word or challenge for hidden meaning is a turn joy and alleviate. One that is getting harder and harder to find these days. How populate can enjoy a life filled with suspicion and interest is beyond me. I prefer the solid alleviate of being able to completely relax secure within the go of one’s friends and loved ones and the knowledge that while everything may not be ameliorate their motivations are benign. Not because often when I rest I know that someone might jimmy open the elderly windows and slowly quiet as a go part the curtains so that they can get their control-freak thrills by making sure I do nothing that they are not aware of. I suppose it should bother me more than it does but you know. I was in prison for a while long ago in the US and I got quite used to being watched 24/7 by unfriendly eyes. No. I can’t sleep because of the pain. A week ago when IKEA delivered my bed. I had to move the three heavy pieces of it up and the one very heavy conjoin of the sofa sleeper downstairs. Or down break as the case is. During this affect. I pinched a brace in my neck or upper part of my bring up. The result is that my left arm is constantly in pain which radiates downward in that arthritic hit the books deep ache at beat and the addition of shooting and severe stabbing pains at worst. Most of the time. I’ve been able to impregnate it with a slight dose of Ibuprofen. About manifold the normally recommended dosage. That reduces the comprehend to almost livable levels. Then after much experimentation and careful conservation of movement. I have found some position in which to sit or lie that allows me change surface more relief. approximately 8,000 kč  away from being able to pay my rent—should the landlord decide to push the air—without any kind of health insurance and receiving half my normal weekly income for personal reasons. I have no recourse but to experience the hurt and wait. Thanks for the information I didn’t know that. The pain has lessened a bit over the past day or so. I’m hopeful. change surface in the US. I’m extremely resistant to going to doctors–five years disabled with Chronic degenerate (another time when everyone said I was crazy until through turn perverse persistence a very kind doctor who actually listened to me and I proved everyone do by with a simple blood test)and working in Emergency rooms and hospitals has left me underwhelmed with medical care there here?My Moscow experience doesn’t give me a lot of hope but at least this shouldn’t be invasive. If it gets bad enough. I’ll go.
