How do I find out if my Life Insurance policy is good? I keep hearing all the horror stories of Life Insurance policies being no good. I have a policy through AARP and New York Life. Does anyone know of a way I can check with someone regarding the dependability of my policy.

Is AARP reputable? Do you know of a better Life insurance company? Besides the fact that I am still grieving for my husband who passed on January 22, 2010, I have been consumed with concern about another issue in which I would like to obtain knowledge. Does anyone know if AARP is reputable for their benefits specifically their life insurance policy. I don't want to start paying premiums and then have my 2 sons find out later that they don't/won't pay for the remainder of my funeral expenses. I don't even know how it works. If I were to start paying premiums and died after just 6 months or a year or more would I be covered for the full amount? Is there another life insurance company that anyone has or knows about that's better? I need to get this straightened out before anything should happen to me because I want to be buried next to my husband when my time comes, the plots are already prepaid for the both of us. I want to have one less thing to worry about right now. I don't want any more stress in my life than need be. I know those of you who answered my posts already understand how it is going through this grief. So, I want to express to everyone who replied before that I really appreciate your condolences. God bless, Simba

Does anyone know anything about Life Insurance? I heard on the news that some life insurances might be in trouble..especially if they dealt with AIG. I have life insurance with AARP...Please tell me if I am in danger of losing it....What is the matter with people...Why are they so evil and greedy??? How would I find out if my Life Insurance si still good??

My now deceased grandmother's life insurance has lapsed. What can we do? My grandmother passed away this weekend after a long battle with gastric cancer. She's let her insurance with AARP lapse since February and never told any of her kids. Her late husband was put to rest by the Philadelphia police department, but I don't know if that covers the spouse as well. Everyone is broke and have no kind of collateral. What can we do? UPDATE: I forgot to mention she has already been cremated, but they won't give us the ashes until we have the money.

i am almost 54 years old & i want to take out life insurance on myself. (female)? what is the difference in Term Life & Whole Life? and which would be the best one to get? and is AARP insurance a good one to look into? i am on a fixed income. the money will go to my son. it will be used for my funeral arrangements. AARP has a price that i can afford & the rates will go up a small amount as i get older but it will still be something that i can afford.

Can I buy a life insurance policy on my mother without her knowing it? My mother is convinced she can't get a life insurance policy (just for burial purposes) because she has degenerative disc disease and that it would be too expensive. I know people who have heart conditions (including relatives) who died and their family had life insurance for them. She has no life ins on her but my father has it on him. All my siblings including myself have gotten into arguments with her because we don't want to have to foot all the bills after she has passed away and we equally don't think my father should take out a loan to pay for her burial. I've seen these commercials with AARP through New York Life stating that regardless of age or health condition you can get a $10,000 policy. Are there such policies out there and can I get a policy on her without her knowing about it? I want to do this to have a peace of mind and don't want to see my father go through all these stressful things when she passes away. Do I need her SS# to do this?

Life Insurance and Contestable Period? My mom took out a $25,000 life insurance policy through AARP, underwritten by New York Life insurance in August of 2009. She found out in April of this year that she had Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer, and she passed away in May. I sent in the claim form, as well as the certified death certificate and medical provider information to the insurance company. Because she passed away before reaching two years on the policy, does that mean I will not receive the full amount of the policy? She was only 50 years old, and had no medical problems before this.

Where can I find an AARP person to talk to about health Insurance? In live in North Manchester Indiana. I am a widow. Insurance for myself and I am 63. Birthday is 10/08/1943. Fairly good health and my Insurance Premiums are OUT-OF-SIGHT. I draw each month $1004 and my health Ins. is up to $442 a mo. this isn't including my payment for Life Ins. I hear that the AARP Organization is good. Been trying to get ahold of them but, with this talking-to-a-machine thing is just not working so, is their someone out their that would know when and where the next AARP Meeting is going to be at? Maybe I could talk to someone face to face.

A question about life insurance in Minnesota that maybe gets a little sticky? My mother married a man in 1991. She retired from Quest in 2000 or 2001. I had moved out around then. She had life insurance and switched the benificiary from me to him. He died in 2004, but she always procrastinated putting me back on, though she continued to pay the priemiums. I moved back in to help her out. Yesterday morning I found her dead in the living room. After some dorking around, I know I get her three vehicles and the house. But since he was still on her life insurance and not me, I thought I was screwed out of that. My grampa kind of thinks the same way but wants to talk to a lawyer Monday first. I just got home from the funeral home planning her wake and funeral. When I got home, a woman called and asked for my mom. I told her what had happened and she asked if there was insurance. I said yes and explained the situation. She said that it is BS for the insurance company (AARP) could keep it. She said she worked for the county attorny's office. (cont.) She said what I have to do is prove he has been dead. Prove that mom has died. Prove she is my mother. That makes me next of kin. She said as long as my mom was paying, the insurance has no right to keep what she put in. And whether it be a sibling or child, next of kins is entitled to it. What are your thoughts? Do I have a shot at it?

Life insurance for 15,000 or more...for someone 65 or older..no health questions.? My father is 69 years old, and wants to take out more life insurance, but is having trouble finding a suitable policy for his needs, colonial penn only wanted to give him 5k in coverage...and he is looking for AT LEAST 15k...He already has life insurance for 15k with aarp/nylife. I was wondering if anyone knew of another life insurance company who could give him at least another 15k, without asking health questions, like aarp/nylife? I told him that I would check on the net to see if I could find something for him, so your help would be appreciated... thanks!:)

life insurance law? and what it means for me.? Ok this is going to be a bit of a long question so if you don't like long questions then please by all means move on. So ok here i go, my MoM died on 5-07-10 at a hospital here in Las Vegas. She had a term life insurance policy worth $25,000 through AARP underwritten by New York life. She had just gotten it a few months back for me. When she filled out the form it only had 3 health questions #1 in the last 2 years have you been told you had a life threatening illness. #2 have you been in a hospital in the last 2 years. #3 have you had any medical test in the last 3 months. She answered honestly in the no. They never asked any follow up questions at all. Now when she died, unknown to me she died of a bleed in her G.I track with chrrossis of the liver and hepatitis c as an underlying cause. Now my question is if they deny my claim do i have a case to sue? P.S if the poster is right then why would they send me a claim form and ask for her death certificate. Would it not be more simple to just tell me they will not pay unless it was in force for 2 years.

Anyone know of any companies that offer life insurance for those over the age of 85? I've tried AARP, PROGRESSIVE, PRUDENTIAL, STATE FARM ...

Who can be contacted to see if someone else is using my son's social security number? My son is 21 years old & about 4 months ago he started getting AARP mail, life insurance offers for senior citizens, & he just received a happy 65th birthday card from UnitedHealth Rx. At first we thought it was funny....but now we are wondering if there has been some sort of mix up somewhere.

If I know who the life insurance beneficiary is do I have to tell them? In April of 2011 my mother passed away from cancer. When she passed away no one knew of any life insurance policies she had, we went searching for clues and found out she had one through AARP that he had been paying on. We also found on my step father had one too that he had no idea that my mother set up for him. About 4 weeks ago my step father passed away as well and I called in to claim his life insurance and the ytold me that I was not the beneficiary. They told me they could not tell me who it was but if I asked they could tell me yes or no. When they asked to start naming people I said tehre is no one else because he never would have named his children (Who he has never had a good relationship with, and which he also left nothing to in his will). When I named his daughter (who is the worst money hungry of all) they told me she is the beneficiary. Now because of their past I took it upon myself to set up his funeral arrangements and got everything squared away, but now that I am not I have to pay everything out of my own pocket because his daughter is going to take the money and run because there is no law that say she has t ogive me life insurance money to pay the funeral. There is no doubt in my mind she will not give me anything, but I'm fairly certain she does not know that she is the beneficiary. So my question is 2 parts. A.) Do I have any legal duties t ocall her and tell her that she is the beneficiary even though AARP wasn't really supposed to tell me in the first place and B) If AARP is now aware of my step fathers passing and they call my step sister to let her know that she is the beneficiary and she needs a deat hcertificate and his ss do I have to give them to her?

can anyone recommend a reputable no exam life insurance ? My husband was recently denied life insurance. We were shopping around because his 20 year term life is about to expire. Thecurrent company wanted over $500 a month to convert if to a permanent policy. He is out of work so cannot afford to do that. We do have an agent who had found us another plan, but underwriter has turned him down due to an aortic aneurysm that is small and under control. So now, guess our best option is going to be one of those no exam policies, but would still like to have at least 100,000 in coverage. We were told to steer clear of AARP (my husband is 53) as they have bad reputation for finding reasons not to pay out. Any suggestions?

I work in a nursing facility and need to know where I can get phone #'s for medicare co-insurance companies? I work in a nursing facility in the admissions office and need to verify insurance prior to admitting a resident. I need phone #'s for insurance companies which are a supplement to medicare such as AARP, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, United Health Care, Bankers Life, Humana Gold,and other insurance companies. Is there a list of these phone #'s? (toll free preferably but if not, other phone #'s will do) I need them to verify insurance coverage for residents.

Do you belong or know someone who belongs to AARP? what do they offer? Is it life insurance, auto insurance? ect? Is it expensive?

Is AARP trying to establish it's own New World Order? They want our life,health,and auto insurance business.They even send us magazines telling us what to eat and drink.

can someone explain to me how the AArP PROGRAM WORKS? i'M 56 AND AND LOOKING FOR LIFE INSURANCE. wOULD THIS BE A GOOD DEAL AND SAVE ME MONEY

My mother and step-father passed away 2months apart in the state of N.J.? The house or deed is in my mothers name only.... i want to know does it goes under my step-father estate automatically or does it go under my mothers estate because he never had the deed transfer into his name before he died. He made me beneficary under his life insurance with AARP but because he didn't answer the questions correctly in regards to his health i was refunded the premiums. His brothers and sisters want my mothers house because they are under the impression that it was his because my mother hasn't work for years but don't know that the house is in my mothers name only. I got a attorney and under his guidence i was made administrator because they both didn't have a will. My parents were married for 35yrs and i am 36 now and i don't want everything to go to my uncles and aunt when my parents have raised me all of my life and when i got older i have stayed in their lives to look after them due to health issues. I'm so stressed b/c iam alone in this no brothers or sisters.

aarp and america legion endorsed co? AARP, are they any good. Why is it that they endorse insurance companies (auto, life, etc) with such high premiums, and same with the American Legion. Are they both using Vet and Seniors for their own purpose? Do the top people in those organization make a lot of money? Just wondering.

If we have lower life expectancy and higher birth mortality rates at nearly twice the price? of health care in other developed nations, EU, etc then why do so many insist that we have the best health care in the world- yeah, specialists for the wealthy and those who have or can afford very good health insurance? My source is AARP- Bulletin. There are numerous other sources. Drug and health care corporations are ripping us a new one every time we pay these inflated rates in the name of a free market for a life and death necessity. I'm not for socialized health care but affordable health care for people who work or retire early- after 55, for example, due to illness, etc. Stephen, your answer implies intellectual laziness at the outset- do you really believe that anyone who gets ill becomes so because they are either lazy or inactive? This may be true of some but surely not all by any stretch. That's just plain silly putty. Correction- "universal".

How do you feel about AARP? GREAT LETTER TO THE AARP THE AARP This letter to the AARP says it all. It is a must read regardless of your age. Some people just make sense in what they say. This lady certainly does. Please forward this to everyone on your contact list. This was sent to Mr. Rand who is the Executive Director of AARP Dear Mr. Rand, Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you. Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.. While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse it's abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government. Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic. We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own. AARP gave us a sense of belonging which we no longer enjoy. The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain. Clearly a conflict of interest there! We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces whom we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret. We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our sensibilities. This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out of us. Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage, but even more importantly for our children and grandchildren. Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic I have never in my life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them. I don't have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence. Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist Mindset in power. Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires. Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING??? Someone has broken into our 'house', invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them. I DON'T choose to welcome them. I DON'T choose to support them.. I DON'T choose to educate them. I DON'T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing. American home invaders get arrested. Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get? Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to break & enter to be welcomed? We travel for a living.

Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current administration One of us is out of touch with mainstream America.

Individual dental insurance? I'm 22 years old and I'm looking for dental insurance. I've called a few places that I could find that offer dental insurance and either I do not qualify because of my age or dental insurance isn't available for my state. I'm in the State of NY. I called AARP--- they only deal with senior citizens. I called Delta Dental and they don't serve NY. I called MVPHealthCare.com, I forgot their reason but I think it was the same as Excellus reason (they don't offer it individually, I must go through an employer). I can't go through an employer cause I'm self-employed. I turned to EHealthCare.com but I have a feeling they are a scam. They claim to be a broker for several comapnies. When I run a quick quote on their site, it comes up with "Bay Dental" as the insurer, but they HAVE NO INFORMATION about bay dental to give me. I wanted to research the insurer first but I couldn't cause they didn't give me any info about them. ehealthinsurance.com gave me dentemax.com and claim they are something to do with bay dental, then they told me bay dental is underwritten by a comapny called "Standard Security Life" and i can't find any company by that name. The only one I found was Standard Security Life of NY but they are a completely different company. There is a company called bay dental but it's in california and they are a dentist office. So, i'm completely lost. I'm eligible for bay dental pan thruogh ehealthinsurance.com but i'm scared to sign up because i don't know if bay dental plan is a true company or if ehealthinsurance.com is a complete scam. The weird thing is this. Ehealthinsurance.com said that I must pay them in full with a credit card for their bay dental plan or they can deduct it each month but i have to give them a bank account. They won't charge my credit card monthly for the plan. Instead they want my bank account # to charge it monthly. They will only use my credit card if i want to pay it in full. DO YOU KNOW anyone who offers dental insurance for the state of NY? I"m not looking for a dental plan where I'm limited to the company's dentist office. I have my own dentist I go to and i want some type of insurance to go to my dentist of choice.

If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president.

Why do obama supporters get so mean when someone shows them the FACTS about their candidate? I already know this question will be reported, just as my other recent FACTUAL question were, but isn't ANYONE interested in FACTS, ISSUES & where the candidates stand? 1: Favors new drilling offshore in the US - McCain: Yes Obama: No 2. Will appoint judges who interpret the law & NOT make it - McCain: Yes Obama: No 3: Served in the U.S. Armed Forces - McCain: Yes Obama: No 4. Amount of time served in the U.S. Senate - McCain: 22 YEARS Obama: 173 DAYS 5. Will institute a socialized National Health Care Plan - McCain: No Obama: Yes 6. Supports abortion throughout the pregnancy - McCain: No Obama: Yes 7. Would pull troops out of Iraq immediately - McCain: No Obama: Yes (bringing the terrorists to us) 8.

Voted AGAINST making English the official language in the U.S. - McCain: No Obama: Yes 12. Voted to give Social Security benefits to ILLEGALS - McCain: No Obama: Yes What about taxes? Do you know where they both stand? Capital Gains Tax - McCain: 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does NOT propose any changes in existing home sales income tax. Obama: 28% on profit from ALL home sales. In other words, if you sell your home & make a profit. you WILL pay 28% of your gain in taxes. If you are heading to retirement & want to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from selling your home WILL go to taxes. This WILL adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income. Dividend Tax - McCain: 15% (NO change) Obama: 39.6% In other words, if you have ANY money invested in the stock markets, IRA, Mutual Funds, College Funds, Life Insurance, Retirement Accounts or ANYTHING that pays or reinvests dividends, "YOU" WILL now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes IF obama becomes president. Experts predict that "Higher tax rates on dividends & capital gains WILL crash the stock markets & will do NOTHING to cut the deficit."

New gasoline taxes, New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity), New taxes on retirement accounts & last but not least, New taxes to pay for "socialized medicine" so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third world countries!!! NOTHING IS FREE, SOMEONE ALWAYS HAS TO PAY!!! All of this can be verified by these........ www.money.cnn.com/news/specials/election/2008/index.html www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/issues.taxes.html www.elections.foxnews.com/?s=proposed+taxes www.bulletin.aarp.org/youworld/politics/articles/mccain_obama_offer_different_visions.com http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/candidates/barack_obama http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/candidates/john_mccain So, I want to know why obama supporters get so angry when they are shown FACTS? Audrey: Like what? Did you look the information up? Barb: Then prove me wrong. Many of the facts that I have found come from the "left" media CNN. Are you telling me THEY don't have their facts right? If so, then why are they left? jim,twa: That is such a pathetic & typical Democratic comment you just proved my point. McCain is NOT stalling, he IS doing his JOB. This is the SECOND time in recent weeks that McCain has put the U.S. first. The first time was when Hurricane Ike was coming in. But all obama thinks of is himself. Then of course he wouldn't want to do anything that would bring into the for front his involvment in being in the number 2 spot feeding at the trough of Fannie & Freddie would he? Just ANOTHER FACT I thought I would share!! What Democrats need to remember is that CONGRESS makes the laws & the President can ONLY do with what he is given. The Democratic Congress is NOT doing anything so as to make the Republicans look incompetent since it is an election year, when in FACT it is the DEMOCRAT led Congress that is NOT doing their job because THEY are incompetent. Your Horns Are Showing: You have GOT to be kidding!! The right is paranoid? The Democrats have leaped off the edge. They are sending hate mail to a Maine news anchor saying she is trying to look like Governor Palin & sending subliminal messages to viewers to get them to vote Republican! That is beyond paranoid, that is just plain INSANE!!! B Star: NOBODY is talking about race but YOU. As for New Orleans, look at YOUR governor & mayor. THEY left those people there by NOT doing their job & NOT using the funds provided SEVERAL times to fix & reinforce the levies. Hurricane Katrina was an act of God, NOT the Federal Government. I'm not upset in the least. There is ALWAYS things about people that we don't like, I am not different, but I have yet to find ANYONE who supports obama who can tell me why & what has he done in his 173 days to qualify him for the presidency. I don't want regurgitated campaign garbage either. I want "REAL" reasons & "REAL" experience & "REAL" qualifications. Annalies: are you serious? Higher taxes will NOT get more people health care. Who do you think will be paying for this universal health care? When businesses are taxed & MORE people are unemployed, who will they tax to pay for it then? You cannot simply raise taxes on people to get more money, because sooner or later, the people will have NO money, NO house, NO job, NO food, NO NOTHING!! Then what? Universal health care will no longer be there because there will be NOBODY left to tax to pay for it! uneyk: Do you honestly believe what you wrote? "WITH THE PEOPLE"? What does that mean? He was a "Community Organizer". what is that? Did he organize monday night bingo, community bake sales & rummage sales? WHAT is a community organizer? There are scarecrows in Kansas who know as much about foreign affairs, government & this country than obama does. What country have you ever been in where they have changed their official language to suit ANYONE but the people who make up that country? If I move to France, I should speak french, because THAT is their OFFICIAL language. If I move to Norway, I should speak Norwegian, because THAT is their OFFICIAL language. NO country should lose their OWN identity or language to make immigrants happy or make it easier for illegals. ENGLISH IS the "OFFICIAL" language of the United States & it ALWAYS should be & WILL be. Whiteside: NOW fifeldity matters to you? NOW? Did it bother you when Clinton did it? or how about Edwards or the multitude of other Democrats. Did it bother you THEN?? I'm sure it didn't, you were all just as blind, deaf & dumb to all of that as you are about facts concerning Obama. Every person who registers as a Democrat should receive one of those little statues of the three monkeys..."HEAR NO EVIL" "SEE NO EVIL" "SPEAK NO EVIL" because that is how you all are when it comes your candidates. ooopppsss! that should have read - fidelity

The AARP has it right on healthcare...? what do you think??? Cost is at the root of this problem. Health care is expensive and getting more so every day. The health care system is a maze of paperwork and confusing charges that make it impossible for an ordinary family to understand what they have to pay to get the care they need. The United States spends $1.9 trillion a year on care - some $6,280 for every man, woman and child in the country. 31 percent of this is expenditure is wrapped up in administration costs... far more than any other country. A bureaucracy created by insurance companies to increase their bottom line. Health care expenditures are 16 percent of the U.S. economy, well above what any other industrialized nation spends on health care. And these nations make health care available to all their citizens. Yet, when we compare health outcomes-measurements of health such as infant mortality or life expectancy-the U.S. trails these nations.

Why does GOP insist on ling to Seniors about Health Care - why do Seniors continue to listen? After lie after lie after lie - are Seniors stupid? Death Panels’ Hypocrisy: RNC Health Insurance Provider Promotes End-Of-Life Counseling Over the summer, one of the GOP’s loudest complaints against health care legislation was a provision offering senior citizens Medicare reimbursement for end-of-life counseling. Republicans claimed it would create so-called “death panels” or urge seniors citizens to die. RNC Chairman Michael Steele “endorsed this type of rhetoric, and on July 28, the RNC put out research document claiming that the government would “dictate” Americans’ “end-of-life care.” But it has been noted that Cigna, the RNC’s health insurance provider, also urges beneficiaries to think about end-of-life services. Cigna’s website has a page called “Care at the End of Life,” which covers topics such as how to talk with “loved ones” about “end-of-life choices” and whether to stop life-prolonging treatment: It’s unclear whether the RNC’s insurance plan covers these end-of-life consultations, and neither Cigna nor the RNC replied to inquiries. But nevertheless, the RNC’s insurance provider has posted information on its website advising beneficiaries about the complicated questions that accompany decisions at the end of someone’s life. There is nothing objectionable about this planning, which has been endorsed by Democrats, Republicans like Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA), and the AARP. But this type of advice is exactly what the GOP fear-mongered about this summer. As FactCheck.org explained: What the bill actually provides for is voluntary Medicare-funded end-of-life counseling. In other words, if seniors choose to make advance decisions about the type of care and treatments they wish to receive at the end of their lives, Medicare will pay for them to sit down with their doctor and discuss their preferences. There is no requirement to attend regular sessions, and there is absolutely no provision encouraging euthanasia. Recently, the RNC has been urging lawmakers to support the anti-choice Stupak amendment, which would not only ban women on the federal exchange from using federal funds for abortion, but could bar employer-sponsored plans from offering the coverage. However, Politico reported this week that the RNC health care plan under Cigna has coverage for elective abortion services. Upon hearing the news, the RNC quickly opted-out of the abortion coverage, although its money is still indirectly subsidizing other women’s abortions. What will be the next GOP lie (their next statement) and why are Seniors so gulible? The GOP plays these folks & the weak-minded like a fiddle. They lie! Hey Snowman - blowing more lies - NO SUCH report from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. I will be happy to review link for such a report - there are NOT ANY. You lie. The report from AMA that you link too are regarding Fradulent claims from insurers - which should NOT be paid and can account for savings - MISREPRESENTATION. You lie, again. The other report you reference from the AMA (who support the current bills) & link to are for FRAD claims from insurors & should NOT be paid resulting in savings - MISREPRESENTATION - you lie again, Snowman - you earn your name. With a name like 'Snowman' you like laughing at these idiots as much as beck and the rest of us do.

What if children were forced to pay for parents social security pension (and not by strangers)? The geriatric population is the most represented demographic in Washington (AARP)... ...not to mention, bio-medicine is invested heavily because of geriatric demand (instead of improving quality of life for all ages); Life-span will inevitably increase--b/c of the bio-tech industry geared towards the ever expanding geriatric population--leaving younger generations to carry the burden of Social Security longer; for every one senior citizen, eventually it'll take one younger person to support them rather than five (talk about pressure)... ---------------------------------- With all that said, what if legislation geared social security to be paid directly by the old folks' kids (and not by strangers)? It would shift the social structure of the American family; new couples would want to have--AT LEAST--two kids AND successfully raise them... Single people or couples who can't have kids will have the duty of being very professionally productive in society than ever before in order to support themselves--independently--into old age (since they don't have kids who can support them)... ...or become successful enough to enjoy a sustainable geriatric lifestyle. And as for vagabond couples who have relationships for the sake of having a child to support them into old age, the required contribution of the child for the parent growing into old age is based on a percentage of the child's future income... ...this would force parents to raise their kids successfully for the sake of receiving MORE pension based on their kids success! Another potential benefit is that because of more mothers joining the workforce and lessening the birth rate, people would be encouraged to have at least two kids (in order to have a sustainable lifestyle for the kids' two parents) ...and IF this law is abused, by parents irresponsibly giving birth to TOO many kids, those parents won't get a dime unless they rear their kids into success stories (as opposed to having too many kids today strains the overall intelligence and chance for success for modern day uber-families i.e. trailer trash) * 3 minutes ago * - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details oh, and with increasing advances in extending life span through bio tech medicine, insurance companies will see a demand for the tech by the ever-increasing geriatric population... ...and inevitably the insurance companies will force old people to live super healthy lives in order to secure those life span extending treatments. If--and inevitably, it will--this is the case, maybe university post grads and America's young, fit, capable workforce will find themselves illegally immigrating to other countries (and not the other way around)! how do you 'force' anyone to pay their taxes? social contract that ensures civility and order is a right we pay for through tax (unless private contractors take over most civil services like policing, fire, hospital etc). The social contract to pay into that right is still their...I'm just saying, shake up the society (otherwise how people are organized) that enters the contract.

Noticed the shell game going on with government medical takeover? Claim 848 bil but 2 trillion closer to truth? Almost all big business interests have been bribed by the Obama administration. Like big Pharma, AMA, AARP, Lawyers Ass. Insurance Companies, Medical Devise Makers, For Profit Hospitals (Non profit charity hospitals hit with excise tax). Only the little guys who depend on those hospitals have been left out if this bribe off, and they are trying to take care of us all using deception, a shell game. We will pay more, get worse service and a less effective health system. A government panel has just been made more important in deciding the needed testing procedures and what did they do? They cut mammography testing priorities, which will be followed by insurance companies, against doctors panels in the national cancer societies better judgment. MORE WOMEN WILL DIE OF BREAST CANCER AS A RESULT. Congress has been putting out a rouse which is infantile in it's dishonesty, but so complex in it's wording over 2000 pages that they know most people won't have a clue what they are doing until it's done. Most of the news media is going right along with it, and make no mistake, they are bought off and or so ideologically tied to the democrat party that they will not start making waves for them until they actually see the deception in action, and most like GE=NBC are so tied in financially, getting fed windfall after windfall from our money by the 100s of billions, that they don't care what happens to our system. They have theirs through the current administration, they are bought off. We, on the other hand, are SCREWED, if we don't wake up, and now. See the Medical Bill is a shell game of cost hiding and slight of hand concerning provisions and effects as well. Over 10 years they tax our economy heavily, but only provide services at all starting in 3 years and don't get to full force for 7 years or more. The actual cost of the program is double or more while it is actually running than what it says it is now. Does Anyone think it will be free health care? Think again, because it won't be. That is another shell game designed to create huge popularity in some groups, but they will be disappointed, seriously. Has Obama kept his promises to this point? All he's done is attempt to make it seem as he has, but he doesn't. Some people thought they got a tax break? They didn't, and they will understand this when they go to file for their refund and get all they had received, deducted from that refund. Those who didn't have much of a refund to have it deducted from? They will be on the hook for tax payments and will be in a world of hurt if they don't have the extra money to pay up. Obama knows people will see what's up once the whole thing comes down, and he doesn't care because by then it will be to late. The federal government will have it's power over banks which will allow them to control who gets credit. They will control much of the manufacturing interests. With this medical take over they will control another 18% of the economy, and more importantly to them, everything can be tied into health care. The car you drive, what you eat, owning guns, your recreational activities like hiking or boating or skiing or hunting or being a couch potato, most anything. It's a huge amount of control we give them if we allow government to be in charge of health care. What can they do with all that power? Buy of important components of our society and business to give themselves even more power and more control. If you like control of the government of some groups and think it's great because you don't like them, just wait until they drop it on you. Wait until they tell you what you have to buy. When you have to go to medical institutions and when you can't. Make you wait in lines. Tell you what to eat drink or smoke. Make you fill out tons of paperwork on your and your families private lives, or what used to be private. Have bureaucrats looking over your easily accessible electronic medical records and asking you questions about this or that and "suggesting" changes in your behavior. Just wait, you will get what you deserve. All the little people who support leftist revolutions get smashed once their support gets those who promised them the world, what they want. It's always been that way and it probably always will. They believe that those who promise to take resources away from one group will be giving those resources to those who supported them ... they never do and they proceed to use that power to take away the power that the little people had to put them in power, because it can also be used to take them back out. We are not taught so much about the benefits to the people after the Bolshevik revolution, the revolution in Cuba, North Korea, North Vietnam, China, and others, but it always ends up the revolution is won on the backs of the poor, and those who end up suffering worse for it, is the poor. Obama wants the control that controlling our health care will bring, and I'm pretty sure he's bettin ... betting that by the time the little people truly understand in majority what has been done to them, it will be TOO LATE. He will have the control needed to crush any opposition and by off those groups he needs to totally cement power, and the constitution will be destroyed, with his group's controls in place in it's stead. Read up on this assessment of the shell game being played on the health care bill. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/11/2…

Seniors...whats ya life insurance? AARP or what. Holla

Who is going to be the first to report me? Do you find it kinda creepy that the White House is asking for you to report people that do not agree with THE One? THE BLOG TUESDAY, AUGUST 4TH, 2009 AT 6:55 AM Facts Are Stubborn Things (If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.) Posted by Macon Phillips Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, "facts are stubborn things." Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions. In this video, Linda Douglass, the communications director for the White House’s Health Reform Office, addresses one example that makes it look like the President intends to "eliminate" private coverage, when the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them. He has even proposed eight consumer protections relating specifically to the health insurance industry. There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov. Here are the complete videos that Linda refers to. First from the AARP: And then from the President's news conference: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/

SO CONFUSED! Which medigap Insurance Company is better, AARP Healthcare or Globe Life and Accident Insurance? I am having a REALLY DIFFICULT time choosing between these two companies which serve California. I have all the information about Medigap plans etc. etc. But I just can't decide between these two companies. Globe is $70.00 less than AARP for a Plan F. Can I afford the extra $70 a month? Probably, but I really would rather not pay that much more if the companies are basically equally good. AM Best Rates Globe as A+ and AARP as A financially, and AM Best does have another rating ( I think it's called ICR, but not sure) of aa- vs. a for AARP on the AM Best Website. But in the OUTLOOK section Globe is rated negative and AARP Stable. I have no idea how or if it should impact my decision, or if this would make any difference to me. I like AARP because they are so well known and they do say my rates will decrease substantially when I reach age 65. Globe is issue age rated and AARP is community rated. So Both good. What I was thinking was to go with Globe Insurance for the first three years (I will be 62 in October) and at sixty five switch to AARP (as long as I don't ever get end stage renal disease). AT that point AARP may be well below Globe. Well anyway I really need help in deciding between these two companies. They are soooooo close, but one is much cheaper than the other. I should add, that Globe could not or would not give me an example of the yearly increases or lack there of, for the past two years based on inflation etc, but AARP was able to tell me that their increases for the past two years were about 3.5%. Help. What should I do? My effective date is Sept 1 2009, so I need to make a decision in a hurry. Like today. Has anyone had any experience with Globe Life and Accident Insurance whatsoever? Positive or negative? Anyone ever heard of them? Your answers would be so much appreciated. I'm desperate to make the right decision. Please Please help me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

What are the "3 simple health questions" that you must answer in order to get AARP's life insurance?

Have you read Pelosi's Healthcare Bill ? It is over 1900 pages long; it has 400,000 words in it; it weighs in at just over NINETEEN POUNDS, and it is FIVE TIMES LONGER THAN THE NEW TESTAMENT. Congress had 3 days to review it and even if they DID get thru the entire bill, PELOSI IS MAKING CHANGES TO IT WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. Congress is being strong-armed by White House gangster Rahm Emmanuel - you know, the guy who sends politicians a dead fish if they oppose him.......yeah, thats just one of the crooks Obama moved from Corrupt Chicago machine-politics, over to the White House. WHAT IS ACTUALLY BACK IN THE PELOSI BILL AFTER THE PUBLIC RALLIED ALL SUMMER LONG AGAINST HER BILL? These are back: 1. The largest expansion of abortion funding ever in our history. You get to pay for every idiot woman who chooses not to "dance all night". Not only abortions, but this expansion allows LATE TERM AND PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS AS WELL. It also does not allow for the conscience clause for those medical people who refuse to do abortions on religious or moral grounds. They will get fired. 2. "evidence-based intervention" teams - these "teams" will arrive at your personal residence with a warrant in one hand, and a syringe in the other to innoculate you and/or your children. No opt out, no appeal, no discussion unless you want to spend a few months in jail. 3. Ronald Reagan felt that it was unfair to raise a person's taxes if they get a raise, IF inflation eats up that raise. Pelosi is repealing that "tax indexing" so that if you get a raise at work, but your rent, electric, phone, car insurance, food, etc ....all went up in cost and eats up that raise....PELOSI STILL WANTS YOU TO PAY THE HIGHER TAXES, regardless of what inflation is doing. This is full of nerve, since Obama plans to skyrocket our electric bills to raise them over $1700.00 per year, per household, AND...his economic policies are causing everything to go up in price. IF THIS HEALTHCARE BILL IS PASSED, EVERY PERSON'S QUALITY OF LIFE WILL GO DOWN DRAMATICALLY, REGARDLESS OF YOUR INCOME BRACKET. 3. Government will be able to access AND WITHDRAWL money from your personal bank accounts in real-time; they will electronically transfer money out of your bank account to help pay for whatever medical treatment they approve for you. The money will go missing, and then you will get a letter saying where it went and why, WITHIN THIRTY DAYS. Thought you had the rent in the bank all ready to be paid, huh? NOT ANYMORE, BECAUSE PELOSI CAN TAKE YOUR MONEY AS EASILY AS YOU CAN. The healthcare reform bill is the biggest intrusion into American Citizens private business that we have ever seen by Government. Most of the Bill doesn't even deal with your health: it is full of Affirmative action laws, regulations keeping small businesses from growing, regulations making hospitals and doctor offices under the direct management of government, AND QUESS WHAT: REMEMBER THOSE DEATH PANELS EVERYONE JOKED ABOUT? They have already been put into place BACK WHEN THE STIMULUS BILL WAS PASSED: thats why Obama wanted it signed calling it "urgent"; he didn't want anybody to read it, remember?? Death panels are back now in the Pelosi bill. This Council of politicians, not doctors, will decide what you get, if you get it, and when you get it. That goes for life-saving medications as well. OH, BUT THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOC IS BACKING THIS: The AMA only consists of barely 20,000 doctors AND PELOSI HAS PAID THEM OFF WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO AGREE WITH THIS BILL. Same thing with AARP; they are promised that they will be allowed to survive while ALL OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL DIE A SLOW DEATH. NO, YOU WILL NOT KEEP YOUR PRIVATE INSURANCE: The provision in the Pelosi bill is clear: if there is any tiny change to your policy: you add/delete a child or spouse, you move, you change jobs, or your premium goes up or down - IT VOIDS OUT YOUR POLICY, AND: you legally cannot purchase another private insurance plan, AND, you legally cannot go without insurance; it will be mandatory by law that you enroll in the public option. Welcome to govt takeover of healthcare. FOLKS, READ THIS HORRIBLE BILL AND DO SOMETHING BECAUSE IT IS A GOVT POWER GRAB LIKE NO OTHER WE HAVE EVER SEEN IN AMERICA. Sebelius, the Health and human services director, MIS-COUNTED AND SHORTED AMERICA BY 77% ON THE NUMBER OF FLU SHOTS NEEDED. NOW WE HAVE A DANGEROUS SHORTAGE. BUT WE ARE GOING TO TRUST HER TO RUN 1/6 OF OUR ECONOMY AND DECIDE OUR CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CARE? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Pelosi knows that 87% of Americans do not want any changes to their medical care OR their insurance. She ignores us or else she insults us. SO I ASK ESSPECIALLY OF YOU WHO WANT THIS REFORM: MY GOD, HAVE YOU READ THE BILL?

My mom is in a financial crisis, my son and I live with her, but I want to move to get a job, help!? Hello, I jsut found out another crushing finanical problem fo rmy mom today. She lost the Cobra benefit she was paying for her health insurance. My mom is 61 and has health problems and takes many medications. SHe does not qualify for medicare yet nor aarp. I told her she can apply for state aide..but she is reluctant(pride). I am out of work, lost my job in April and have a 5 yr old to provide for. we live with her in a good area with good schools. However, I am unable to find a job here and have found more leads in Boston where my sons father lives. He has been out of his sons life for almost 5 years..and has paid child support(not through the state) for about 9 mos now and is trying to be a good father now. I want to move to Boston in order to have more of a chance at getting a job and being paid enough for my son and I to live on our own. The stress of living here is getting to me, my health, and to my son. He wants to be in Boston. I heard that his dad can register him in kindergarten in the area he lives in(whihc has schools that are a 5 or 6 out of 10) even though I don't live at the residence. Then once I secure a job and get an appt I can transfer him to another school if need be. But now if I leave I will leave my mom is a horrrible situation..for I pay her 300(though now it's 4-500 a month since she lost her unemployment payments) and also pay for all the food. I get a small amount in food stamps. Of course she can apply for that too but is upset about that. If I stay here how am I really gonna get a job and make a better life for my son and I? But if I go..how can I look my family members in the face if they feel I am abandoning her and bringing my son from the suburbs and good schools to the city and mediocre schools? HELP! I just want to scream and cry but have to run to class now..ahh!

Obamacare will cost each family an extra $1700/year in premiums; do you really want this? http://caosblog.com/11195 So tote up the cost of this bill on the middle class: – $1,700 more in insurance premiums for the average family. – Medical devices like wheelchairs and hearing aids get taxed. – Those who are sick must pay an average of about $600 more a year in income taxes because the bill raises the threshold for deducting medical expenses from 7.5 percent of income to 10 percent. – A $404 billion cut in Medicare. – Ending the subsidized Medicare Advantage insurance for costs over and above Medicare. Without Medicare Advantage, the elderly can only augment Medicare by buying Medigap coverage for which no subsidy is available and whose premiums are higher (offered, conveniently enough, by Obama’s buddies at the AARP). – No importation of Canadian medicines and no competitive bidding to hold down prescription drug costs (Obama’s deal to get Pharma’s support and advertising dollars). – A shortage of medical personnel and equipment as 30 million new patients are added without any expansion of the population of doctors and nurses. This shortage will make rationing inevitable, even if it shortens life expectancies among the elderly. And, all of this assumes that the House bill, which imposes a 4.5 percent payroll tax (which will discourage new employment), does not pass — and that the cost estimates of this program prove realistic. Despite the Congressional Budget Office’s concurrence, one can’t help noticing that Massachusetts’ program was estimated to cost $200 million in 2005 and now costs $700 million! This health care bill is, indeed, Obama’s first tax on the middle class. And when are we going to feel the pain of the expiration of Bush’s tax cuts? http://townhall.com/columnists/DickMorrisandEileenMcGann/2009/10/14/obamacare_means_$1,700_more_in_insurance_premiums_for_a_typical_family

Is there a case worker or social worker that helps disabled people makes sense of medicare, etc? My younger sister is 22 and now considered disabled. She recently became eligible for SSI and some other things. Due to her emotional problems and learning disabilities, she doesn't understand any of this, and doesn't know what to do with the paperwork. She literally has piles and piles of papers and booklets. I don't know where to start! Is there some type of case worker or social worker who helps with this?? From what I can grasp, she gets medicare, medicaid, SSI, some aarp, plus "extra help" for low income individuals, in addition to my parents insurance. What I don't understand is how they all work together. I dont know if she needs to sign up for certain things or opt out of others. As of now she just ignores it all and I'm afraid she'll lose it all! I can't understand it all for the life of me! I don't know how someone elderly or mentally handicapped is expected to...! We live in wisconsin, if it matters

I turned myself in to Obama's fascist Website, how about you? Everyone turn themselves in! What will they do? Subject: I say this, you stinking fascist maggots! KISS MY FORKING ***! COME GET ME! NOW **** YOU! NOW! You know Obama wants you to turn me in for telling you Democrats deliberately ran up health care to take over? That's right, Obama wants you to turn me in, what do you think they will do to me? I can only say to them, come get some you pieces of crap. This is against the law in the US, expressly against the law to keep track of free speech and those who spoke it. The backers of the leftists who are in control now not only deliberately run up health care expenses by turning loose lawyers to sue over any little thing, and making frivolous law suits come with no penalty so people and lawyers just roll the dice all the time in law suits with no down side. Even if there is no merit often medical providers just pay up to save the costs of litigation. They also deliberately made Medicare and Medicaid easy to steal from, conducive to fraud, to drive up costs. They also made Medicaid and Medicare available to illegal aliens, and forced Hospitals to treat anyone without recompense from the government who mandated it, to drive up costs. Made it wide spread, and pushed down on the price they pay for treatment, so that the medical providers would have to overcharge those left, especially those without insurance who just get raped. The democrats also stop legislation that would allow competition between insurance companies in different states, to destroy competition and drive up the cost. There are people living 20 miles from each other, and one has to pay 40% more for the same exact coverage. Why would they do that? The goals are obvious by the obvious target of the results of their actions. These are all actions the Democrats have taken, which is obviously, in my considered opinion (after years of looking for answers why, coming to light in consideration of these things implemented by the Obama administration) to drive up the cost of health care in the most vile Machiavellian way imaginable, so that they could take over. And that's not the only thing. They destroyed the economy using fuel as a weapon to trigger the bomb democrats set up in the mortgage based securities market. When you see what actions they have taken, you can see that plan plain as day. There is so much more. Now they are buying off groups like AARP to do things which are totally against their members best interests. As the president is using advirors like Rahm Immanuels brother, Ezekial, Cass Sunstien, and the medical Czar what's their name? who Each advocate limiting health care to the very old and very young, denying expensive treatments that many old people require, to cut costs way down. These people are sick, and they see people as live stock, but of course all of this wouldn't apply to Government officials, they are better than us live stock. They are also using the green movement to help destroy the economy, not because they care about the environment more than anyone else, but in order to destroy the economy and put in their own people, their own Oligarchy as they did with the Auto Companies when they stole them and gave them to their friends, and used our tax money to pump those friends of theirs up. So much more, you better investigate for yourself and you can't trust TV or the entertainment industry because they are all thick as thieves and getting your resources as payment, like GE which owns NBC got a big ol government contract and is expecting many more. They go after everyone, especially media, who speaks out against them and work to ruin them. They vilify those who don't agree with them and paint them as evil people. They say all those who complain are backed by the rich republicans, when that is exactly how the democrats work, sending out Acorn and Unions after AIG executives, driving them by their homes on a bus, making them fear for their lives, and threatening the bond holders of GM debt who were legally in first place into giving up their legal position, same with Chrysler. It doesn't matter if you are a republican or democrat, I am neither and I don't like either. You better start paying attention or your behind will be in the soup, just like everyone else. Look what Obama did to those black DC school kids who had vouchers to get them better and so much safer schooling, he just had them jerked away even though they saved about 40% on education costs and provided excellent education in stead of terribly substandard and dangerous education.

Where can I buy Term Life Insurance if I had a bout with Cancer? Does AARP Offer Term Life Insurance? For persons who were diagnosed with cancer but have no reoccurrence?

What if children were forced to pay for parents social security pension (and not by strangers)? The geriatric population is the most represented demographic in Washington (AARP)... ...not to mention, bio-medicine is invested heavily because of geriatric demand (instead of improving quality of life for all ages); Life-span will inevitably increase--b/c of the bio-tech industry geared towards the ever expanding geriatric population--leaving younger generations to carry the burden of Social Security longer; for every one senior citizen, eventually it'll take one younger person to support them rather than five (talk about pressure)... ---------------------------------- With all that said, what if legislation geared social security to be paid directly by the old folks' kids (and not by strangers)? It would shift the social structure of the American family; new couples would want to have--AT LEAST--two kids AND successfully raise them... Single people or couples who can't have kids will have the duty of being very professionally productive in society than ever before in order to support themselves--independently--into old age (since they don't have kids who can support them)... ...or become successful enough to enjoy a sustainable geriatric lifestyle. And as for vagabond couples who have relationships for the sake of having a child to support them into old age, the required contribution of the child for the parent growing into old age is based on a percentage of the child's future income... ...this would force parents to raise their kids successfully for the sake of receiving MORE pension based on their kids success! Another potential benefit is that because of more mothers joining the workforce and lessening the birth rate, people would be encouraged to have at least two kids (in order to have a sustainable lifestyle for the kids' two parents) ...and IF this law is abused, by parents irresponsibly giving birth to TOO many kids, those parents won't get a dime unless they rear their kids into success stories (as opposed to having too many kids today strains the overall intelligence and chance for success for modern day uber-families i.e. trailer trash) * 3 minutes ago * - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details oh, and with increasing advances in extending life span through bio tech medicine, insurance companies will see a demand for the tech by the ever-increasing geriatric population... ...and inevitably the insurance companies will force old people to live super healthy lives in order to secure those life span extending treatments. If--and inevitably, it will--this is the case, maybe university post grads and America's young, fit, capable workforce will find themselves illegally immigrating to other countries (and not the other way around)! "Personally if we went by your logic, overpopulation could become a much more imminent problem especially with the bio-tech." - Every child is a potential life saver, doctor, innovative scientist, etc. "Also, those who are unfit to raise children and really shouldn't may just adopt tons of kids and not really take care of them so that one day he/she gets to live a wonderful life while the kids are stuck paying to their... oh i'm sure they'd come up with a new word for it...parents." - If the law is only in effect for biological parents, normally irresponsible parents would WANT to retain their kids instead of putting them into adoption "Also, those who opt not to have children or can't have children even if they wanted to" - This will shape (i.e. FORCE) members of society to contribute to population growth indirectly by becoming independently productive and successful for the sake of living a sustainable, INDEPENDENT, geriatric lifestyle. "But this is based on the idea of sucess coming from hard work. You're being to simplistic, sometimes business ideas or whatever just don't work out, and it's no one's fault. Why should the parents be punished if their kids take stupid risks and can't afford to look after them? Having money doesn't just come from a good upbringing, it's luck, and talent, and ambition, a huge number of factors. It's also impossible for everyone to be rich, in order to sustain an economy, there have to be rich and poor, or else inflation will just lead to everyone being poor. And what about over population? There are already way too many people, we don't want to encorage everyone to have 2 kids. Forcing complete strangers to help each other against their own discretion, volition, free will is farce...parenting is an unconditional responsibility that should always be assumed when a couple undergo creating a family.. ..any argument against the above logic is an attack on the potential of sound parenting.

Forget the hype, forget the rhetoric. Here is the simple math. The question is...who will you vote for? SIMPLE MATH: 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE COMPARISON TALKING POINTS THE ISSUES: JOHN McCAIN / BARACK OBAMA Favors new drilling offshore US JM - Yes BO - No Will appoint judges who interpret the law not make it JM - Yes BO - No Served in the US Armed Forces JM - Yes BO - No Amount of time served in the US Senate JM - 22 YEARS BO - 173 DAYS Will institute a socialized national health care plan JM - No BO - Yes Supports abortion throughout the pregnancy JM - No BO - Yes Would pull troops out of Iraq immediately JM - No BO - Yes Supports gun ownership rights JM - Yes BO - No Supports homosexual marriage JM - No BO - Yes Proposed programs will mean a huge tax increase JM - No BO - Yes Voted against making English the official language JM - No BO - Yes Voted to give Social Security benefits to illegals JM - No BO - Yes CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax. OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.) DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president.

Take these questions seriously.? 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION JOHN McCain BARAK OBAMA The questions below are listed in McCain's and Obama web sites and other sites that was approved by both. The list of questions will have a yes or no or another anwer particilar to that question. Both candidates answered the question and they are listed. To keep it simple the first answer is McCain's the second answer is Obama. Then ask yourself the same questions and if their answer is how you would answer then vote for that candidate. Please know the issues and not because they are cute, black, good speaker, or because your momma and daddy like them or even your best friend… Get a group of people over tonight.

YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS about the new health care bill. Would you let this bill pass knowing all this below? Did you know that when they state , "nothing will change in your current plan" they aren't telling the truth?!!! If you read the bill, it states that you will have to now get permission to see a specialist, everything, even blood work, will have to be either permitted or denied by "government" overseers. This is not going forward, it's going backwards. Changes definitely need to be made to help the uninsured and to prevent families from going bankrupt from chronic illnesses, but there are better ways of doing this without changing your current plans. (In some states, they are trying a system where the big healthcare companies put money in a pool to help these needy cases that aren't covered by medicaid or private insurers, something along this line is the way to go!) Did you know that the president's advisor to this bill, Dr. "Emanuel" actually believes that people are "disposable" based on their "value" and "productivity" in society. If this bill passes, it talks about how people with dementia shouldn't get the same healthcare and neither should infants, since are society is "not invested as much in them". He believes the hypocratic oath that doctor's take is wrong since it makes them provide for the best for the patient standing in front of them, where he states the doctor's should instead think, well if my patient has a chronic disesase, like a child with cerebal palsy, the money could be better spent on a different patient down the hall who isn't going to die sooner. This goes against everything doctor's are supposed to stand up for. They are supposed to give you the best care they know how if you are their patient, not base decisions on if you are "DISPOSABLE!" Of course he doesn't put this directly stated in the bill like this but read about his past and his past statements if you don't believe this. It is so sad, it reminds me of how Hitler operated and thought. Could you imagine if this bill passes and your mother who has alzheimer's is denied any healthcare and just lays there and dies some painful death since the new healthcare bill doesn't want to "waste" money on her. It is a terrible bill for the elderly and infants and the AARP should be ashamed of themselves in supporting it. If you are in the AARP you need to write them a letter and tell them to change their views on this bill or an e-mail or discontinue your membership. People who have children of special needs think this bill will help them and actually it will hurt them, since their child will be considered one of the "disposable" ones. That is a sick view of humanity. This is the biggest mess to hit our healthcare system. There are better ways to include people in the systems rather than this bill. IAND if you are rich and think, well I will just buy my own plan and treatments on the side. Guess what? You CAN"T. If you try to, the bill states that the IRS will charge you what the normal family pays for insurance each year, like 7,000 to 13,000 dollars and then they will randomly FORCE you into anyone of their "qualified" plans. AND If you think "oh Canada has a similar plan and it works for them." Did you know that my sister-in-law had a brain tumor and when she found out she corresponded with someone with the same condition in Canada and guess who had better care? My sister-in-law had it removed the next day because she was in the U.S., the woman in Canada couldn't get hers removed for a year until after it "caused a problem" and had to wait until the tumor wrapped around her ear drums and caused her to go deaf in one ear first! iIs this the "new" system you want in the U.S., to wait till a disease harms you permanently BEFORE they treat you!?! Obviously some of you will write, well if your sister-in-law was an American with no healthcare and not poor enough to get Medicaid she would have died from it and that is worse than going deaf! And I AGREE with you, that is why I am not at all telling you that there needs to be no change in our system at all. I'm not stating that at all, I'm just letting you know that this bill is not the answer! And if you think America doesn't have the best doctors, etc. and did you know that this week the World Health Care Organization just stated that if you get cancer, your best chances for diagnosis, cure, and living life after cancer again are if you are in the U.S.! I want healthcare reform for those who need it, but don't mess up the parts of the system that are already working for the majority of Americans. E-mail your senator on this one, PLEASE, it's important to our elderly, our infants, and all of us! Thanks for listening! First citation for you and I will work on getting more: watch the video from this site, of course strangely enough it has now been REMOVED from you-tube! But you can still see it at this site and do more research about the papers Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel wrote regarding a famous doctor(nazi) as well. Go to http://noworldsystem.com/category/ezekiel-emanuel/ and view the youtube clip from there! The doctor surprisingly leaves the meeting when the questioning about his "hitler"like policies are brought up! TRO - good job! atom- I agree we need to change the system, but do you really think it should be ANY change, not a thought out one that denies more people proper care and is a step backwards! That is what is wrong with some of Obama's supporters too, they think he is God and any plan he wants we should race through congress and get approved before looking at the details and DISCUSSING them. That's exactly what happened with the Tarp funds and why it was such a mess. No thought, just action. More information how this bill is going to be rammed through without discussion and about Dr. Ezekiel and Canada's death rates from cancer as opposed to ours, and who to call to stop the bill etc. at http://www.Igstarr.blogspot.com Click on Igstarr info above, and if you click the first paragraph that is underlined in blue, it will take you to an article that will give you the CITATIONS for most of my arguments along with PAGE NUMBERS FROM THE HOUSE AND SENATE BILLS! For example House bill page 16-17 talks about how if you are in a plan and your have a co-payment change they can put you into a different "qualified" plan then. House bill page 425-430 talks about how all he elderly need to get counseling that will discuss their end of life and in the meeting they will be told about "without nutrition and hydration" etc. Page 167-168 talks about how the rich people who are trying to buy better healthcare and the IRS find out will get fined and forced into a random plan they pick for you. It's all in the bill, that's as much as I can cite right now though. Good luck if you don't veto this thing!

How can I get Obama fired and put some one who cares about the U.S. to take his place? I had enough of his lies and crap before he was in office but this health care bill he's trying to pass is the end of it. I have private insurance from work, my husband and kids are all covered. i don't want his, i don't want to pay for it either. Just look at what he wants us to do. How can i fire him???

The term "Tea baggers" is a hate filled derogatory slur based on nasty sexual reference, is it defamatory? rhetoric which is in fact hate speech against a group of people? Isn't it used as a small minded derogatory slur against one group because another is intolerant and hateful about what they stand for? I know, the hate group who uses it will give a dishonest derogatory response about what they stand for, lie about where they came from, how they comport themselves, and give disinformation about who is behind the movement ... isn't that exactly how Jews were treated by the Nazi Movement? They justified their rhetoric with more dishonest defamation about the subject of their political targeting. The KKK, (founded by the same political party as those who really don't like the Tea Party Protesters) did the same to the black race using much the same small minded tactics. The fact is the Tea party protectors started up while Bush was president because they didn't like trillions spent on bail outs. They felt that the free market economy should be allowed to work, and businesses that don't work should fail. That to prop up bad businesses and put the burden on tax payers to do it is not only a bad idea on the surface, but also incentivizes bad business practices and taking from the people through the government to support those bad, unsound practices that can't sustain themselves. They know that in a free market economy where taxes and government intervention is kept to a minimum the GDP rises and more tax revenue is available to the government, it's happened that way every time taxes have been reduced on the producers in this country They also look at what happens when the Feds overstep, as in the dept of education leading to more money and more money being poured into a bad school system creating parasitic teachers Unions with less focus on the children's education and more on how to grab all that can be grabbed from the public coffers. Just one example, there are many. The Tea parties have nothing to do with race, at least not with those who started them. A few idiots slip in to everything, but that's not what opposition to Obama is all about except for a tiny fringe. It's about wanting to keep our constitution intact. Our economy strong, and the federal government out of our lives as defined in the Constitution because government controls lead to one thing, corruption and massive amounts stealing from the public as does access to any huge pool of cash. If you allow it, the thieves will come in droves, it's their nature, and unfortunately right now it pretty much drives government. According to Martin Luther King, (a man most democrats pretend to respect, but obviously many don't have any respect his message, so it shows the pretension of respect to be a lie) You don't judge a man by the color of his skin, but the content of his character. By the very meaning in his statement, this principal transcends color. It applies to any group, race, religion, political, sex, whatever, because it's not about any special groups we must respect, it's about any group, it's about any individual. No individual is more important than another individual when it comes to respect. No group either because it's all part of the same principal. Obama proposes massive spending and a government take over of many industries. I know he said he doesn't, but the actions speak louder than the words that lie to us. I know they lie, because I know they lied in most instances in the past. Public will be given time to read bills? LOL! Congress isn't even getting time to read the bills. It goes on and on. Laws broken to give his supporters car companies, billions of dollars as in George Soros, Acorn, Al Gore, Unions, Hamas gave him campaign contributions, anything that is Gaza is Hamas, they run the government, nothing goes to Gaza that doesn't go to Hamas, and no one in Gaza has money except it's controlled by Hamas, so it's a fact he got contributions from Hamas and gave a billion to Hamas. There is plenty to be upset about with Obama. How does race enter into it? It doesn't matter what race he is. The same type of people didn't like Carter either, or Clinton before he lost the Congress and made his show of a big shift. The Tea Party movement is not about race, it's not about a party, and it's sure as heck not about big corporations starting something. Obama's bought off most of the big corporations and interests, at our expense. Drug industry by pushing out their patent time so generics take longer, AARP by giving them a monopoly on add on insurances exempting them from high taxes imposed on others, much of the insurance industry, Trial lawyers by opening up a whole new area of fertile potential for them, AMA with a huge contribution to the organization (but he is opposed by nearly 80% of actual doctors) and there is more but that's enough off the top of my head. The big government interests and the filthy rich behind entertainment industry and media are smearing the Tea Party Movement with lies and defamation. Do you real The big government interests and the filthy rich behind entertainment industry and media are smearing the Tea Party Movement with lies and defamation. Do you really want to be with those types? Allow yourself to be turned into a bigoted tool of the fascist interests out to make out riches stolen from the tax payer for themselves at your expense? Or those who are protesting that? Who do you really want to be? What do you really stand for?
