Truth About The New York State Flag- It Is Super Racist!

  The larger ship in the picture may have represented the international trade. Read about the flag and how the pictures represented values and political ideas. It should be taken down!

Medical Cost Transference And What To Do About It

  

     Cheating lower income and people with medical needs out of medical care since 1970. The government passed legislation ending non profit, tax subsidized community care facilities, promising that the privatizing of the whole system would be better for all Americans. But it never was. Programs set up to assist the poor were not equal in coverage or quality to private care received, under policy purchases in the private sector.

   Basic care and fundamental rights to basic care in community health centers and non profit minor care facilities, should be the foundation of the political action in the federal government. Issuing supplemental policies that cover major medical, as those who can afford the supplemental policies, should by law be ordered. The supplemental policies that are given to the Medicaid policy holders can be affordable in the overall insurance pool. Spending far less money in actual expenses by implementing non profit facilities for basic healthcare needs is something that is long overdue. With drastic savings to the states that use non profit basic care facilities. Along with access to major medical through the private system coverage with the supplemental policies. This can work.

   Hospitals that incorporate cost transference in providing minor care at major medical facilities are only providing convenience to the consumer.  At the expense of the whole system. This habit, trend, is the real reason costs have continually climbed for policy holders.

   Treatment for a minor condition in a hospital facility could cost, in real expense, ten times more than in a non profit community operated facility. Imagine the savings that the state and insurers would have with more non profit facilities. A good estimate would be 2500 dollars in actual expense to treat a patient for a minor ailment in a hospital. While the same treatment in a non profit basic care facility would be about two hundred and fifty dollars.  The problem in the assistance programs is that the government really only, pays the two hundred and fifty dollars to the hospital.  Leaving the rest for cost transference. And the policy holders also pay more for the minor care in that facility with cost transference. Because of cost transference. They have been told that the bill is the expense and it's not. The bill is a part of the overall expense and the other money from the cost of the operation, per patient, is covered by transferring the money to be paid onto other services and procedures. Like that.   There is no cost transference on the two hundred and fifty dollar bill at the non profit facility. Or basic care facility. That may be a little more inconvenient to policy holders but will ultimately save the system up to 35% on annual expenses. That's a lot of extra care that can be afforded for people. And a lot of savings. because that would cover the actual expenses to the non profit facility. 

    So, every time a policy holder uses a non profit or basic care facility to be treated for minor care they are dodging the expense of the major care facility. If the actual savings were 1500 dollars every time they use a lower cost facility, (Lower Operational Costs) not less of a payment to the doctor), then the policy holders would have a decrease in the amount of money the policy costs, not another increase. This would not affect patient care in any way. It would decentralize the process and change the way that the system deals with minor care issues.

    Cost transference at major medical facilities was the same on Medicaid, Medicare, as policy holders insurance coverage. That means, ultimately, the government in paying the bills for treatment in the facilities helped to cover the cost of patients who used the facility who had insurance policies. Patients who used the facility for minor care as a convenience. Put it  that way. So, in reality a percentage of every bill was taken off the top after increase to the charges of procedures to cover minor care, mostly because the policy holders wanted the convenience of the facility. That is a very expensive, non essential, habit that needs to be overcome.

    

 

   

     

   

   

 

Democrats Failed The Immigrants, So now, It's Everyone Else's Fault

     

 

     Laws could have been passed to allow families to apply for sponsorship of non citizen occupants but Democrats wouldn't do anything to deal with the immigration problem. The actual laws that helped immigrants were mostly enacted during the Bush administration. The borders became a horrific mess during the Obama administration. Security became almost non existent. There were few if any checks on illegal immigrants crossing the borders. The failure was set to become an open door policy by the Democrats and Obama. Turning the open borders into a immigration policy fiasco that would simply allow anyone who wanted to cross the border automatic citizenship. The policy didn't work out even in the Democrat party. It was a typical everything without restrictions or nothing but if you reject the stupid policy then your labeled a bad guy for not allowing the dreamers into America. The worst kind of flim-flam politics. What else could you expect om Oboma and the liberal   think tank headed up by Pelosi. -Buy 5 million votes from illegals with offers of citizenship.- That's great! But don't worry, those people would have been abused by Democrats at every turn and all the while they would be finger pointing and accusing the Republicans of unfair practices.

   The Democrats continual message in their losing cycle in Washington is to hate. Hate everything and everybody that isn't Democrat. That's all they can come up with these days. More hate.

    The liberal media can't stand the fact that Clinton lost the election so they're still whining about it like it's the end of the world. Their political leader, Putin has his office in Russia. As though e could lead the Russians back into a monopolized economic dictatorship with help from the elite Washington Democrats. Those are the real dreamers in the Democrat party.

   

    Russia is open....

Changes That Can Save Medicaid And Make It Better and Less Expensive (Dr. House)

  One payer wont work. We've been through that argument for fifteen years. What will work is transferring Medicaid back to state policies and implementing supplemental policies for working people and those who can afford them. Medicare Aetna/ Humana as examples. The supplemental policies will help to cut costs to Medicaid providers with respect to overall cost to states for the  policies. States can handle the Medicaid administration with more cost effectiveness  than the federal government. More money savings. Having non profit clinics and minor medical care centers for all users will also drastically reduce costs of Medicaid and reduce the costs overall, in the system. The federal government should assume over site regulatory controls based on criteria models in patient diagnosis and scheduled treatment. That includes legal definitions of adequate and equal care per patient.

   The largest expenditures in Medicaid come with minor medical expenses. Real costs per patient verses payments for services per patient is drastic in the differences. In some cases a normal visit to a minor medical center would cost an estimated 250 dollars in actual costs to see a patient. This number can go as high as 2500 dollars to see the same patient in a specialist center or major medical care facility. That is ten times the amount of money that it should cost to treat the patient. The profits made on this practice is usually none. In most cases the actual expenses are transferred to other areas to cover the costs of a minor medical treatment. This is called cost transference and should be against the law.   Cost transference allows the patient to be treated for minor medical issues at a major medical facility and have the bill be nearly the same that it would be in a lower cost setting. This seems to be a service provided mostly for convenience to patients who have policy coverage. They receive minor care at a nominal fee but the real cost is ten times the bill. The bill is 250 but the actual expense to the facility is 2500. It adds up fast. But the savings can add up fast too if more facilities are incorporated to treat people for minor care conditions at non profit based facilities. Facilities that are located outside of low income neighborhoods and slum or high crime areas. The government has always had a policy of putting facilities in those areas knowing that the impact of using the facilities would be trivial. But facilities that are outside of those demographics can be a money saver. A huge money saver if you compare 2500 to 250 in actual costs to treat the patients. Eliminating Medicaid from private sector care facilities is equal to segregation enforcement. Which would be unconstitutional.

     Supplemental policies will work. Minor care centers that are non profit will work. Transferring Medicaid administration to the states will work. And in this way a guarantee of care for all Americans can be worked out. This is the way to do it. 

   

The Starting Point Needs To Be Standard Care For Every American

 

      Both nations in America, Democrat Party/Republican Party, want to guide the system in a direction that will result in a favored political outcome. Like a continual tug of war. One wants to go in one direction, the other wants to go in another direction. One wants the system to favor the east, the other the west. Americans just want what needs to be fixed, fixed without the continual tug of war. Politics sometimes gets in the way of reason. What should Americans do when this happen more and more in the continual legislative battles fought over every topic in Washington D.C.? How can we end the system of deadlock and stalling in our government when it comes to passing legislation, or, changing legislative decisions from the past that don't work? Like, in the matter of healthcare legislation.

    I think that in the matter of healthcare it comes down to the right of all Americans to have adequate healthcare. Americans should have the right to quality healthcare.  

    Knowing that to be true, a watchdog group in Washington should be allowed to call for immediate passage of legislation that guarantees the right of all Americans to have healthcare, equal to a standard of care that is set by the medical community. At that point, the politicians and states can work out the policies that will be put in place and can argue over what comes after that level of consideration.  Like how to get supplemental policies to lower income Americans and the care of the elderly. There is plenty to discuss. But the starting point needs to be standard care for everyone. 

   

    

      

Video On Climate Change Scam- Truthful Scientist Interview

 

 

"Little Ice Age" Energy Needs- Preparations- Patterns- Climate Changes- Article links

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age  (Mini Ice Age)

Excerpt from Wikipedia article: 

   The NASA Earth Observatory notes three particularly cold intervals: one beginning about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, all separated by intervals of slight warming.....

    Temperatures trailing off from a global warming period  can be followed by a mini ice age or "Little Ice Age". In several examples recorded from studies, including NASA studies, the effect of mini ice ages has been a reality.

    Preparing for the circumstance would be beneficial to human kind and an effort to preserve animal species, that can be isolated in hostile environmental factors,  can be made now. 

    Supplies of coal, clean burning coal from America and other countries and set aside reserves of oil and natural gas would be most beneficial in survival situations. The cold from the little ice ages can last for periods of time that are variable. 

Picture from Wikipedia. 

    Is there a relationship between the warming temperature at peak levels and the fall of global temperatures? It seems that there may be. In any case it would be necessary to study climate change from a standpoint of global warming/mini ice age trends to try and predict the impact of a possible ice age event. 

    Primarily, the preparations should include energy resources, food, medicines, vehicles, with emphasis on supplies for homes and necessary buildings. The data shows that an average mini ice age could last as long as 200 years! In that case the more coal and natural gas that is stored for a population, the better. Solar panels probably wont help much in a time like that. 

     Trying to counteract global warming by controlling emissions from industry and fossil fuels is not a very bright idea. However you think of the problem associated with global warming. The worst problem would be a mini ice age. 

     Fossil fuels did not create global warming in the past. The theory is that man caused an imbalance in nature and that imbalance in turn caused global warming. (Cave man campfires.) Cow farts. (Seriously, they think that.)

    The notion is preposterous. In reality global warming is a natural occurrence and repeatedly happens over a period of time. Climate change happens because of global warming. Climate change does not happen because of fossil fuels or cave men cooking buffalo or brontosaurus burgers. 

    Really.

    As a state that is rich in natural gas, oil, and coal, we should have a system of preparation to get ready for a mini ice age if it happens. Coal production should be geared up to supply nations the coal at non market prices - nations that are third world nations. They will need a supply of clean burning coal, (not pet coke) to use for heating. It may be possible to assist those poorer nations in well drilling operations so they can supply some natural gas for themselves and hold amounts in reserves.

    A mini ice age may be challenging for earth people but I think we can prepare and weather the changes without becoming victims of real climate changes. 

Man Made Global Warming Is A Hoax- Read- Diagram- Logic- Answer-

 

    From 8th grade, knowing that there are variances and temperature swings from warmer to colder, the understanding that Global Warming has been a constant throughout history tells you that man made Global Warming is probably just a theory.

    Upon examination of the actual (modern) theory of man made global warming it becomes evident that the scientist, scientist, that created the theory of man made global warming were speculating on unprovable reasoning and not considering the facts.

     Once you know more about the modern theory, you will be able to understand what the theory means in reality. It means that scientists back in the 1800's and before theorized that chemical changes due to mans activities on earth somehow triggered chemical reactions that led to climate change caused by global warming. As if the cave men's fires caused a chemical reaction in nature and the Wooley Mammoths died in the resulting ice age after the warming trend turned cold. (Which usually happens after an ice age.  Thinking about it - it seems like they were saying that there was some kind of mysterious chain reaction taking place in nature because of what men were doing and that was causing global warming. Like disrupting the balance of nature or causing some kind of disturbance. 

     The modern theory of man made Global Warming is based on the same theory that man is ultimately responsible for doing what causes Global Warming and in turn Climate Change. That the world and nature are the victims of man's activities and there are consequences from their actions. 

    With that in mind, if you study the diagram above you will note that global warming has happened over and over again. In modern times, the scientists who believe in the theory of man made Global Warming don't come out and say that they hypothesized that cave men caused Global Warming or that people who lived 2500 years before Christ caused it in some unknown way. There had to be a common denominator that was measurable. That common denominator turned out to be C02. Carbon Dioxide from emissions.  Fires, car exhaust, factory emissions, *camp fires) methane gases, and so on. The argument that a couple of large volcanoes would equal all that was passed over by the scientists saying that there was no way to measure the output of carbon dioxide emissions. (Good excuse) And man did not create volcanoes, so, therefor it couldn't be to blame for any changes due to the emissions, anyway. LOL.

     The main point of the modern theory that they apparently keep secret is that there might be a relationship between the amount of man activities and the extent of the Global Warming. Theoretically, the more activity, (Carbon Emissions( (((((((((((((  the BIGGER the Global Warming will be. And the more devastating thev Climate Change will be. And since man is way more active today that before, like preceding the MINI ICE AGE,  then we better LOOK OUT!!!!

    And governments need a lot of regulations and control on what mens / womens do because they need to protect the earth.

     One thing about that control, like the "Paris Accord" agreement is that certain companies and certain countries seem to have a favored status with respect to the control counsel. Meaning that they can turn their advantages into making more money, like oil sands in Alberta Canada, and the control group can regulate investments around the controls and restrictions and regulations. * Pretty slick huh?

     Ultimately, the question of Global Warming in science, is: Did men cause Global Warming 2500 years before Christ? Did cave men cause Global Warming that resulted in the Wooley Mammoths freezing to death? The answer is, of course, no. It is ridiculous to assume that Global Warming is man made. 

     Climate change can and probably has occurred in regions where vast areas of forest have been destroyed. Like the rain forest being depleted. We know that this process causes changes in weather patterns.  We also learned that in 8th grade.

 

    

On The White House Statement On The Poor

  Return my oil company that I was partners in in west Texas. Return my bank account. Return my company that I inherited that was stolen by impostors and crooks. Return my land in west Texas. And I wont need to be on Social Security. Social Security disability is mostly just a victims prison. 

   They spend more on coffee a month than I live on. I paid for it. It's insurance. Not mooch money from the greater rich to the inferior poor.

   Most of the money spent on mental health is spent on drug rehab and other expenses within the system. The disabled in mental health already get less than anybody. 

    You can save huge amounts of money by employing non profit community based minor medical facilities.  That is something that will work. Vilifying poor people the government and society has harmed isn't helping.

    Return my property. 

   

   

Global Economic Interests Suppressed Oil Production In the USA?

   Trump said that he decided to fire Comey (the head of the FBI) before he asked for recommendations from department heads and politicians whether or not he should fire him. But some people thought that he was fired because of the investigation into whether or not Russia interfered in elections. 

  As it turned out, the Democrats sort of ratted out the Russians by stating that there was partnerships being formed in attempts to control American oil and natural gas industries. That the Russians had planned to purchase oil refineries in America. 

   Ultimately, all of this leads to the fact that interests in global economics suppressed oil production and development of natural gas to protect the foreign market in oil, namely OPEC and Canadian oil sands toxic oil.  The Obama administration was very hypocritical when it came to pollution standards. Their interests in Canadian oil created a void of concern for environmental factors in Canada and the United States. Especially with respect to fracking operations harming the environment in Canada and oil spills from pipelines that were under regulated.

    This, while oil production was ignored in the U.S. Specifically, the oil found in the Permian Basin in the west Texas region. The amount of oil there would have made America far less dependent on foreign oil and would have greatly helped the U.S. economy. The government acted as though they knew nothing about the oil in west Texas. While the largest oil companies sold oil from oil shares bought from OPEC and put America in the position to be dependent on Canadian oil.

    Investors in OPEC futures made billions of dollars while we set on oil and did nothing all those years. The question is, whether or not, the government global economic fanatics protected the investors who had billions tied up in OPEC and Canadian oil? It seems that they did. And they wanted the international community to have exclusive access to our resources that profited over seas companies and their crony investors in the global marketplace. 

    The big lie was that we were dependent on foreign oil because our oil was mostly gone. Huge profits were made by perpetuating the lie and keeping Americans dependent on foreign oil. The government officials worked hand in hand with the global oil marketeers. Deceivers and crooks that cost America over trillions of dollars. 

   Monopolizing business interests with government orchestrated partnerships was what global economics was all about in the long run. Basically, that economic reasoning caused the market fall of 2008. And open markets with business partners who exploit the masses for profits by cutting human rights and quality standards ultimately harmed the American economy in turn, regardless of profits being made for stockholders and global investment firms. Mismanagement of the financial institutions ultimately reeked havoc on the network.

    Better management of our natural resources by pro American government agencies is the best way to ensure prosperity for our country and the way to protect American workers from job loss.

    Self sufficiency becomes the necessity in personal lifestyle. Self sufficiency in economic terms also becomes necessary to set us free from the global economic dictator crooks who have stolen trillions of dollars in wealth from Americans.
