Don W researches as one would expect a senior scientist to do. I therefore expect the information included is "straight skinny". If nothing else, just scroll to the end and read the highlighted sentences. No, We Haven't Lost It, not yet.
JRH
I searched the current 11/2013 Obama Care Act (or the Affordable Care Act (ACA)). I could not confirm or deny the assertions in this, however I tend to believe them. If they check you into a hospital for observation you are going to pay for the whole bill unless you are not covered like a non citizen. The reason I could confirm or deny the assertions is there are gaggles of Boards (most with nonrenewable final decisions, i.e. they can’t be appealed), the legislation gives new powers to several other agencies each with authority to make rule for implementation. Congress has the right to get a non-binding report, they do not have the authority to alter the rules made by some of the Boards established under the ACA, essentially rendering unnecessary the US Congress, relegating them to the role of a potted plant, and transferring their authority to the Administration. How the Supreme Court found this to be constitutional is astonishing to me.
Here is a clip relating to one provision of the ACA that is being answered by a Democratic Senator who voted for it. As a fine example of “Lying Congressional Style" he claims that he read the bill, (but that depends on what the term “read” means to him, which I doubt has anything to do with the word “Comprehend"). Reading it wouldn’t give you the ability to understand the effect or consequences of the legislation, because of all of the references to other law, the 50 plus Boards that have the authority to make non-reviewable Rules and Rules that are yet to be implemented.
CALLER: I want to know if Cardin read the bill, and if he could explain about the advisory board which is going to be established in 2014. The board can effectively edict certain mandates to the law and changes to the law without congressional action or approval and they cannot be challenged judicially by the constituents or the citizens of this country. In other words, they are going to be able to pass a law without authority, making congress irrelevant, which seems to be a blatant violation of our constitution. How could anybody with a clear conscience vote for that?BEN CARDIN: I did read the bill and I share some of your concerns about that provision in the bill. The Affordable Care Act contains many provisions. I strongly supported the bill itself. But in terms of that particular provision, I agree, there are certain concerns that I have. The purpose of the board is to make sure that health care costs are maintained at a reasonable level and that there is an objective review of the payments made under the healthcare system. That was the main purpose of this board in its report. It comes into effect under certain circumstances. It has not been implemented yet, but it is a provision in the law that needs to be revisited to make sure the concerns you expressed do not occur.
Clearly we have to vote the usurpers out and vote in a Congress that represents the people, or at least try.
This was forwarded to me. Very serious info for Senior Citizens!
Having just gone through a similar experience as this I am compelled to Pass This On! I was recently released from E.R. much worse than when I went in 5 hours before because I would NOT be admitted for ‘observation’. It did not matter to the hospital that I was in serious condition and could hardly walk, they just turned me out with no help to get to my pick-up by myself. It was 3 days later before I got the medication that I needed from my regular doctor. During those 3 days I was almost totally incapacitated! I was told that I was treated this way by the hospital because I am over 75, and "the affordable care act" doesn’t cover this type of situation for ‘Older Folks’! Please Read the Letter Below – It is important for those in their 70’s and above, and for those of you that are approaching the 70’s to know what is going on!
This is from a friend of mine whose friend received this experience in the hospital. Obama, the Democrats and Chief Justice John Roberts are to blame. If I were the patient, I would send this entire email to John Roberts, a traitor to all Americans. Read this and weep. -PLEASE READ THIS. MARY & I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED 3 LETTERS FROM MEDICARE REFUSING PAYMENTS FOR TESTS AND HOSPITAL STAYS TO OBSERVE THE PATIENT.I RECEIVED THIS FROM A LONG TIME AND DEAR FRIEND WHO KEEPS ME UP-DATED ON MANY ITEMS OF HEALTH AND POLITICS. IT IS WORTH KEEPING IN MIND SHOULD A HEALTH CARE EVENT HAPPEN TO YOU OR A LOVED ONE OR CLOSE FRIEND.WORTH READING AND CONSIDERING.------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------ Dear Family, Friends, Neighbors and former Classmates,
Some of you might ask, "why is he writing this?", others will be very aware of my reason. I just found myself in the middle of a medical situation that made it very clear that "the affordable care act" is neither affordable, nor do they care. I'll go back about seven years ago to a fairly radical prostate surgery that I underwent. The Urologist (a personal friend) who performed the surgery was very concerned that it was cancer, though I wasn't told this until the lab report revealed it was benign. Since that procedure, I have experienced numerous urinary tract infections, UTI's. Since I had never had a "UTI" prior to the prostate surgery, I assume that it is one of the side effects from surgery, an assumption since confirmed by my Family Doctor.The weekend of March 8-9, I was experiencing all the symptoms of another bout of UTI. By Monday afternoon the infection had hit with full force. Knowing that all I needed was an antibiotic, I went to an Urgent Care Center in Mesa, AZ., to provide a specimen, a requirement for getting the prescription. After waiting 45 min. to see the Doctor, I started getting very nauseous and light headed. I went to the Receptionist to ask where the bathroom was as I felt that I was going to throw up. I was told that I would have to wait for the Doctor because I would need to leave a specimen and they didn't want me in the bathroom without first seeing him. That was when the lights went out, my next awareness was that of finding myself on the floor (in the waiting room) having violent dry heaves, and very confused. At this point, I tried to stand up but couldn't make it, and they made it very clear they weren't going to let me get up until the ambulance got there. By the way, when you're waiting to see the Doctor and you pass out, you get very prompt attention.
Now, "the rest of the story", and the reason for sending this to so many of you. I was taken to the nearest hospital, to emergency. Once there, I was transported to an emergency examination room. Once I had removed my clothes and donned one of those lovely hospital gowns, I finally got to see a Doctor. I asked "what is going on" I'm just having a UTI, just get me the proper medication and let me go home. He told me that my symptoms presented the possibility of sepsis, a potentially deadly migration of toxins, and that they needed to run several tests to determine how far the infection had migrated. For the next 3 hours I was subjected to several tests, blood draws, EKG's, and demands for specimens. At about 7:30 the nurse came back to my room to inform me that one of the tests takes 1- 2 days to complete, I asked if they could be e-mailed, at which point she informed me that I wouldn't need them e-mailed because I wasn't going anywhere. I started arguing with her but was told, "if you don't start behaving, I'll start taking your temperature rectally, at which point I became a perfect gentleman. I did tell her I wanted to see the doctor because I had no intention of staying overnight. Now, this is what I want each of you to understand, please read these next sentences carefully. The doctor finally came in to inform me that he was going to admit me. I said, "are you admitting me for treatment or for observation?" He told me that I would be admitted for observation. I said Doctor, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you admit me “for observation” my Medicare will not pay anything, this due to the affordable care act, he said that's right, it won't. I then grabbed for my bag of clothing and said, then I'm going home. He said you're really too sick to be going home, but I understand your position, this health program is going to hit seniors especially hard. The doctor then left the room and I started getting dressed, I was just getting ready to put my shoes on when another doctor (the closer) came into the room, he saw me dressed and said, "where do you think you are going?" I simply said "I'm going home, to which he replied, quite vociferously, no you aren't. I said, Doc., you and I both know that under the "affordable care act" anyone on Medicare who is admitted to a hospital for observation will be responsible for the bill, Medicare won't pay a cent, at which point he nodded in affirmation. I said, "you will either admit me for a specific treatment or you won't admit me. Realizing he wasn't going to win this one, he said he would prepare my release papers. A few minutes later the discharge nurse came to my room to have me sign the necessary papers, relieving them from any responsibility. I told her I wasn't trying to be obstinate, but I wasn't going to be burdened with the full responsibility for my hospital stay. After making sure the door was closed, she said, "I don't blame you at all, I would do the same thing. She went on to say, you wouldn't believe the people who elect to leave for the same reasons, people who are deathly sick, people who have to be wheeled out on a gurney. She further said, the "Affordable Care Act" is going to be a disaster for seniors. Yet, if you are in this country illegally, and have no coverage, you will be covered in full. This is not internet hype folks, this is real, I just experienced it personally.Moving right along, this gets worse. Today I went to a (required) follow up appointment with my Arizona Family Practitioner. Since my white count was pretty high, the follow up was important. During the visit I shared the experience at emergency, and that I had refused to be admitted. His response was "I don't blame you at all, I would have done the same thing". He went on to say that the colonoscopy and other procedures are probably going to be dropped from coverage for those over 70. I told him that I had heard that the affordable care act would no longer pay for cancer treatment for those 76 and older, is that true? His understanding is that it is true. The more I hear, and experience the affordable care act, the more I'm beginning to see that we seniors are nothing more than an inconvenience, and the sooner they can get rid of us the better off they'll be.So where does we go from here? The way I see it, we have two options. First, go to the polls and vote out every congressman/woman who supported this debacle, republicans and democrats alike. The vast majority of whom didn't even know what was in it when they voted for it. Remember, when Nancy Pelosi was asked, "what is in the affordable care act"? She replied, "we have to pass it to see what's in it". Now doesn't that make us all feel warm and fuzzy. As seniors, I think our only other option is to find a pastor who operates like the government does, follow him to a mountain retreat, and drink the Kool-Aid. Where is the Reverend Jim Jones when the government needs him?November is coming folks, we can have an impact on this debacle by letting everyone in congress know that their responsibility is to the constituents, not the president and not the lobbyists. We need to let them ALL know that they are in office to serve and to look after the BEST INTERESTS of "we the people", their employers, and not to become self-serving bureaucrats who serve only out of greed. And if they don't seem to understand this simple logic, we'll fire them.On the mend,REMEMBER; BE ADMITTED FOR TREATMENT not FOR OBSERVATION

Fw: Chicken in a blizzard
Subject: Chicken in a blizzard
Two years ago Chick-fil-A made national headlines when company president Dan Cathy spoke out in support of traditional marriage. Liberals and gays came unglued and launched massive protests against the restaurant chain. Several mayors spoke out saying they would not allow any more Chick-fil-As to be built in heir cities.
They tried boycotting the Christian owned company, but that backfired. Instead, Chick-fil-A had a world record day with many locations selling out of food to the hundreds of thousands of supporters. Is it any surprise that the only news the liberal mainstream media has reported concerning Chick-fil-A has only been the negative?
Remember last week when the ice storm hit the south? The mainstream media showed footage of miles of cars stranded on the frozen interstates. Several national news broadcasts that I saw
reported about school kids trapped on busses for almost 24 hours because of all of the ice and parents going frantic wondering where their kids were.
In all of the icy gloom and doom, I bet you didn’t hear about the heroic and generous actions of a Chick-fil-A along Highway 280 in Birmingham, Alabama, did you?
Mark Meadows, owner of the Chick-fil-A closed early the day of the storm and sent all of his
employees home. However, the employees and Meadows soon discovered that they were not going to be able to get home with all of the stranded motorists stuck on the roads. Some of the cars near the restaurant had been stranded for up to 7 hours.
Audrey Pitt, manager of the Chick-fil-A described the conditions: “Our store is about a mile
and a half from the interstate and it took me two hours to get there. It was a parking lot as
far as I could see. At one point there were more people walking than driving.”
Meadows and his employees fired up the kitchen and began preparing chicken sandwiches as
fast as they could. They prepared several hundred sandwiches and then Meadows and his staff headed out and began distributing the hot meals to the stranded motorists on both sides of Highway 280.
Some of the drivers tried to pay them for the sandwiches, but Meadows and his employees refused to take a single penny. Pitt explained why: “This company is based on taking care of people and loving people before you’re worried about money or profit. We were just trying to
follow the model that we’ve all worked under for so long and the model that we’ve come to love. There was really nothing else we could have done but try to help people any way we could.”
However, Meadows and Pitt were not through with their Good Samaritan efforts. They helped push cars off the roads, up inclines and whatever else they could do to help. Then they kept the restaurant open overnight so that stranded motorists could have a warm place to be. A number of motorists slept in booths or on the benches.
Then in the morning, they again fired up the kitchen and prepared chicken biscuits for their overnight guests and once again they refused to accept any payment. During that 24 hour
period, this Chick-fil-A restaurant opened their kitchen, their doors and their hearts to hundreds of stranded motorists and they did so refusing to accept any payment. As one source put it, Meadows and his staff lived up to the words Jesus spoke in Matthew 25:35 which states:
“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and youi nvited Me in…”
Their actions were truly generous and heroic as they also braved the frigid temperatures to hand out hundreds of hot meals to complete strangers. And I bet you never heard anything about this
from the mainstream media. Had it been a group of homosexuals or atheists, it would have been all over the news from coast to coast. It was too much against their liberal standards to report a Christian company doing something so positive for so many.
We need to support this and all Christian company's.
Pass this along and bypass the media!

Fwd: FW: Obamacare Explained
Now I understand. I think??
In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to un-insure the insured.
Next we require the newly un-insured to be re-insured.
To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.
The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became un-insured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be insured for free.
There, I hope that this clarifies this issue once & for all.

Fwd: FW: Fwd: Fw: : REMINGTON ARMS ON THE MOVE
Good for Remington & Alabama!! JUST LOVE IT !
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) Doesn't Want Them
Remington, one of the world's largest gun manufacturers, will on Monday join Gov. Robert Bentley (R) to announce they are bringing over 2,000 jobs to Alabama.
Most of the jobs will be relocated from their Ilion, NY plant, and the initial investment in Alabama will be $87 million.
Founded in 1816 in upstate New York, the company is one of the nation's old...est continuously operating manufacturers. Remington is the only U.S. Manufacturer of both firearms and ammunition products and one of the largest domestic producers of shotguns and rifles.
Remington first began considering new locations after the New York legislature passed the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act in response to the tragic shootings in Newtown, Conn. It broadened the definition of so-called "assault weapons" to include a wide range of guns, including the Bushmaster, which was being manufactured at Remington's New York plant.
A month ago Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) said "extreme conservatives" who are "right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay," have "no place in the state of New York."
Gov. Bentley responded "In Alabama we strongly support and uphold our great U.S. Constitution on which our nation and our states were founded. "The Constitution serves to protect individual freedoms. Among them are those guaranteed in the Second Amendment, which protects the right of the people to keep and bear Arms. We will protect the freedoms of individuals and welcome any one or any company to Alabama to discover as so many have, that we are a pro-business state filled with good, hardworking people. "If Gov. Cuomo doesn't want hard working pro-life and pro-2nd Amendment people in his state, we will gladly take them here in Alabama."
Elections are a battle, Liberty is the war.
We may lose a battle here and there but we must Never lose the war.
Keep fighting the good fight.

THE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE
'WELFARE' SYSTEM.
The Cato Institute released an updated 2013 study (original study in
1955) showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33
states and the District of Columbia. Even worse, welfare pays more than $15
per hour in 13 states. According to the study, welfare benefits have
increased faster than minimum wage. It's now more profitable to sit at home
than it is to earn an honest day's pay.
HAWAII is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13
per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing.
Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent "salary"
that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job!!!!!!
1. Hawaii: $60,590
2. District of Columbia: $50,820
3. Massachusetts: $50,540

As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income
today is $50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession.
Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working
folks earn there (after taxes). Is it any wonder that they stay home rather
than look for a job?
2. Time for a drastic change! America is virtually bankrupt. Are
we NUTS or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity on the part of
Americans? This is CRAZY!
Salary of retired US Presidents..$180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE
This is stupid! Salary of Speaker of the House ....$223,500
FOR LIFE!
This is really stupid! Salary of Majority/Minority Leader
$193,400 FOR LIFE
Ditto last line Average Salary of a teacher... $40,065
Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN... $38,000
Think about this. Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at
$174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a
year. PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority
Leader.
That's $590,900.00 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical
which is not available to us the taxpayers. She is just one of the
hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year!
I think we found where the cuts should be made!
If you agree..... Pass it on, I just did. -----

Fw: Fire ant removal
It’s how I got it...
HOW TO GET RID OF FIRE ANTS
A buddy from Louisiana swears this works.
Go to Home Depot or Walmart and buy a can of black spray paint, any kind, the cheaper the better, so also try Dollar Store, Big Lots, etc.
Go home and stir up the ant mounds and the area around them with a stick.
Spray 1/3 to 1/2 can on each ant mound and surrounding turf, covering fairly well.
Once the Ants realize they live in black neighborhoods, they quit working and start killing each other.

I can't begin to tell you how livid I am over this. Our children are not allowed to recite The Lord's Prayer, not allowed to bring a Bible to school, not allowed to wear a christian themed T-Shirt, not allowed to have Bible study classes at school, not allowed to display a picture of Jesus, and now this SOB is going to use federal tax dollars to promote Islam to our children.Enough is ENOUGH ! Where are all these "christian-hating, separation of church and state" athiests? Why aren't they lining up the to sue the federal government over the use of federal tax dollars to promote a religion in our public schools? I would be willing to bet that nobody will hear a peep out of the "Freedom From Religion" organization.
Obama Administration Announces Nationwide Muslim Outreach Program For Children Grades K-Email
Washington, DC — At a press conference today, President Obama announced plans for the first ever federally funded Muslim outreach program. The program will be available nationwide for all elementary school students grade K-12 beginning February 1st, 2014. The program is designed to educate children about the fundamentals of the Muslim religion and Islamic belief.
President Obama spoke with reporters to explain why it is so important that these outreach programs exist. “The Muslim community deserves our full understanding and respect,” Obama said. “We have killed millions of Muslims overseas since the September 11th attacks. These folks are not all bad. In fact, most of them are hardworking citizens just like you and me. I encourage every student in America to participate in your school’s Muslim outreach program. Learn about the Muslim community, the beauty of the Sunnah and the magic of the Qur’an.”
35-year-old Paul Horner, a teacher at Starks Elementary School in Louisiana, told MSNBC he is excited about the new program. “I think anything a child can learn is good. We need more learning in this country,” Horner said. “These classes are not mandatory but children can use them as extra credit towards other classes. For example, if Becky has a D+ in math she can take a three week after-school class on the Qur’an and would then have an A in Math. That’s a win-win for everyone!”
The Muslim youth outreach program is designed to help young people from different cultures work together to break down ethnic barriers. Their goal is to help promote a greater respect for other cultures, understanding while at the same time learning about all that culture has to offer.
Khaled Matei, who is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood‘s Freedom and Justice Party, told CNN he is pleased with Obama and his actions. “I spoke with President Obama by telephone yesterday and personally thanked him for what he is doing for the Muslim community,” Matei said. “This is definitely a step in the right direction I explained to him. Praise Allah.”
