Health Insurance

Georgia Congressman David Scott, who found a swastika painted on a sign near his office just days after a heated exchange about health care reform, appears on “American Morning” to comment that the individual responsible is “very, very dangerous.”

He also reads a letter he received – “Obama joker” letterhead and all – peppered with the N-word. Scott thinks such hate or racism has no precedence in the health care debate. “We need to explain what the public option means without the tension,” he explains, and goes to say that it’s “not a death panel” and does not cover abortions.

He also blames Rush Limbaugh for setting the tone when he wished for President Obama to “fail”.

The “Hell No You Can’t : YES WE CAN” Videomix by Josh Stanley of original by Black Eye Peas member will.i.am (featuring John Boehner) …It Rocks..MUST SEE and share…
///
House Republican leader’s John Boehner’s final “Hell no, you can’t” angry and profane rant on Sunday (Mar. 21, 2010) against President’s Obama’s Health Care Plan is now infamous.

And his blustering outrage had nothing to do with his perpetual tan and the fact that the bill places a tax on tanning salons. No, really, it didn’t.

Here’s the latest mash-up of will.i. am’s video with Boehner’s profanity to illustrate the division between the Republican and Democratic parties. Not mention a lack of class and manners.

But his Hiel — sorry, — no does signify a frightening and depressing Republican movement to stop change and halt Obama’s reforms, recommendations and appointees.

“No” Republicans have voted for health care reform or for financial reform in the Senate banking committee.

Who are you for? The Hell-No-It-Alls or the Yes-We-Can-Dos?

What I think this all means is that everybody loves a winner. Everybody but Republicans, that is. In the viral video of the day, some wonderful videographer named Josh Stanley has repurposed the Obama “Yes We Can” song by splicing in the musical contribution of House Minority Leader John Boehner yelling at the top of his lungs, presumably on the House floor, “Hell no you can’t!” causing a poetic commenter to swoon, “Oh Internet. How I love your series of tubes.” Another commented that only Boehner is off-key. Yes He Is. The video captures the essence of this moment: democracy ascendant, Republicans raging out of control.

Even among all the horrible violence & death threats against Members of Congress who did the right thing for the American people, there is one glimmer of light: the Secret Service reports that threats against President Obama are down to the levels of threats to former Presidents.

And in another sign of reversal of fortunes, the Democratic National Committee has co-opted one of the tea-partiers’ favorite signs, “Hands Off My Health Care.” Yep, they’re warning that Republicans want to take health insurance away from your kids & drop seniors back into the donut hole. May the next mob be made up of Democratic activists locking arms & singing “Yes We Did” with will.i.am & John Legend.

Health reform is here to stay. It’s a winner.

Part 10 out of 10 of a film about how the largest supermarket chain in the USA are being paid and begged to open new stores in towns, while they are abusing the American people.

Wal-mart have been begged and paid to establish new stores in towns all over America. As soon as the store opens, local shops are forced to declare bankruptcy since they cannot compete with Wal-Marts prices.

Employees are victims for racism, and lack of proper health insurance through the job. Wal-Mart wants to put the responsibility on MediCare in order for them to save money.

The company don’t care about the environment, and they care even less about the Chinese that make all lots of the goods you by for a cheap amount of money.

They don’t care about you as a customer. Once you have paid for your grocieries, you are left on your own. Security on the parking lot? Forget about it. It costs too much.

Again, this is not a film that I have created, I just want the message to get to the people! Please look at the credits at the end of the film!

Former President Bill Clinton responded to comments made by fellow former President Jimmy Carter about criticism to President Obama, on “Larry King Live.”

“I believe that some of the right wing extremists which oppose President Obama are also racially prejudiced, and prefer not to have an African-American President,” Clinton said, but did not say that all of the right wing share that view. “We should disaggregate lingering problems of discrimination from the attacks,” he said.

Clinton also said that while he didn’t think Carter was wrong to share his views, he’s “exceedingly sensitive” being a “white Southerner.”

Ageism, Sexism, Racism. How are we going to survive these? When I had to apply for food stamps last year, the first three of us in line were women over 35 with a bachelor degree, and NOT fluent in Spanish. Our home State has abandoned us. Reading the Web last night I found that the unemployment figures go up as income goes down. So those making 150K and above have 3.9 unemployment rate. For those at 20K and below, it is more like 51 percent. We have had a lot of shakeups here lately, just under us, in the ground. It is worrisome, a bit, as the San Andreas is right behind me in this video. .But when the unemployment runs out, the shakeup will be catastrophic. There is no welfare for folks without kids. It is called “Aid to Families with Dependent Children.” There isn’t even any General Relief now. An acquaintance who had been in hospital more than two years on and off with diabetes, gangrene, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, could not even get approved for 100 dollars a month to live on after he was discharged. Some women on employment forums admit they are already living in cars with their dogs, quietly. These women took care of the homes, husbands, child-rearing, caregiving, and all the real estate offices, the law offices, the schools, the hospitals, the county offices, the corporate money-gatherring of the 80s and 90s, and now are left with nothing. Shame on California, and shame on employers.

The New Poor
Millions of Unemployed Face Years Without Jobs
By PETER S. GOODMAN
BUENA PARK, Calif. — Even as the American economy shows tentative signs of a rebound, the human toll of the recession continues to mount, with millions of Americans remaining out of work, out of savings and nearing the end of their unemployment benefits.

Economists fear that the nascent recovery will leave more people behind than in past recessions, failing to create jobs in sufficient numbers to absorb the record-setting ranks of the long-term unemployed.

Call them the new poor: people long accustomed to the comforts of middle-class life who are now relying on public assistance for the first time in their lives — potentially for years to come.

Yet the social safety net is already showing severe strains. Roughly 2.7 million jobless people will lose their unemployment check before the end of April unless Congress approves the Obama administrations proposal to extend the payments, according to the Labor Department.

Here in Southern California, Jean Eisen has been without work since she lost her job selling beauty salon equipment more than two years ago. In the several months she has endured with neither a paycheck nor an unemployment check, she has relied on local food banks for her groceries.

She has learned to live without the prescription medications she is supposed to take for high blood pressure and cholesterol. She has become effusively religious — an unexpected turn for this onetime standup comic with X-rated material — finding in Christianity her only form of health insurance.

I pray for healing, says Ms. Eisen, 57. When youve got nothing, youve got to go with what you know.

Warm, outgoing and prone to the positive, Ms. Eisen has worked much of her life. Now, she is one of 6.3 million Americans who have been unemployed for six months or longer, the largest number since the government began keeping track in 1948. That is more than double the toll in the next-worst period, in the early 1980s.

Men have suffered the largest numbers of job losses in this recession. But Ms. Eisen has the unfortunate distinction of being among a group — women from 45 to 64 years of age — whose long-term unemployment rate has grown rapidly.
To see FOR YOURSELF how some of us are getting along, real-life- Search HOW TO SURVIVE FINANCIALLY WHEN UNEMPLOYMENT RUNS OUT. It is a message board and really gives a picture of what is going on with people on unemployment. Not bums, not welfare remoras: real people who live day-to-day and can’t get hired. love and peace.
