About 'unitedhealth group'|How to Get Healthcare Jobs?








The               course               of               our               country               has               been               decided               by               our               most               listless               population-sheep               who               are               causing               our               country               to               fall               off               a               cliff.

They               have               been               duping               the               same               group               and               their               ancestors               in               the               past.

Their               progeny               undoubtedly               will               have               little               education               and               income               in               the               future               and               would               love               the               opportunity               to               have               their               baser               instincts               appealed               to               by               fear,               hate               and               war               mongering-the               perennial               GOP               platform!
               The               GOP               agreeing               to               Tea               Party's               demand               of               eliminating               earmarks               was               just               theatre.

Earmarks               constitute               .003               %               of               budget               and               if               it               isn't               earmarked               an               individual               Senator               or               Congressman               can               still               get               money               funneled               to               his               area               anyway!

It               is               just               propaganda--just               like               everything               involved               with               the               GOP               and               Tea               Party.
               Why               did               the               entertainer               Limbaugh               try               to               get               into               ESPN?

ESPN               isn't               a               Mensa               group.

It               is               a               bunch               of               sports               nerds.

Why               did               they               fire               Limbaugh               almost               immediately?

How               can               Limbaugh               be               held               in               such               high               esteem               by               so               many               right-wing               fanatics               when               ESPN               dumped               him               so               unceremoniously?

Every               time               I               listen               to               Keith               Olbermann               I               always               think               that               this               guy               does               sport               broadcasting               also.

Why               don't               many               right-wing               fanatics               have               the               same               reservations               about               a               sport               broadcaster               also?

Olbermann               never               has               been               dumped               almost               immediately               as               has               Limbaugh.
               The               answer               is               that               Limbaugh               appeals               to               red               staters               baser               instincts.

They               don't               care               about               his               failed               background.

He               helps               them               hate               others.
               Bush               43               always               had               a               propaganda               team               as               illustrated               in               the               11-10-3               article               "50               False               News               Stories               By               Bush               Propaganda               Machine               --               A               Strategy               of               Lies:               How               the               White               House               Fed               the               Public               a               Steady               Diet               of               Falsehoods"               which               stated               "Colonel               Sam               Gardiner               (USAF,               Ret.)               has               identified               50               false               news               stories               created               and               leaked               by               a               secretive               White               House               propaganda               apparatus....

               Gardiner               has               credentials.

He               has               taught               at               the               National               War               College,               the               Air               War               College               and               the               Naval               Warfare               College               and               was               a               visiting               scholar               at               the               Swedish               Defense               College.
               According               to               Gardiner,               "It               was               not               bad               intelligence"               that               lead               to               the               quagmire               in               Iraq,               "It               was               an               orchestrated               effort               [that]               began               before               the               war"               that               was               designed               to               mislead               the               public               and               the               world.

               The               Times               of               London               described               the               $200-million-plus               US               operation               as               a               "meticulously               planned               strategy               to               persuade               the               public,               the               Congress,               and               the               allies               of               the               need               to               confront               the               threat               from               Saddam               Hussein."
               So,               when               we               see               Bush               43               hawking               for               his               book               of               lies               remember               we               were               lied               to               back               then               about               decisions               that               caused               people               to               lose               their               lives               "in               a               covert               campaign               to               "market"               the               military               invasion               of               Iraq."
               When               we               see               the               GOP               Congress               trying               to               get               tax               cuts               for               the               rich               they               are               proposing               increasing               our               debt               which               will               result               in               bilking               our               children               and               grandchildren               out               income               so               that               the               fat               cats               can               have               extra               objects               of               conspicuous               consumption.
               This               propaganda               effort               also               helps               foreign               countries               as               U.S.

Treasury               statistics               indicate               that,               at               the               end               of               2006,               non-US               citizens               and               institutions               held               44%               of               federal               debt               held               by               the               public.

About               66%               of               that               44%               was               held               by               the               central               banks               of               other               countries,               in               particular               the               central               banks               of               Japan               and               China.
               Our               least               interested               don't               realize               when               they               are               being               played               by               misinformation               experts               for               the               benefit               of               those               who               don't               need               any               more               benefits               than               they               already               possess.
               The               article               "In               memoir,               Bush               spins               fiscal               fiction"               states               "It               was,               or               so               I               thought,               a               dandy               column               idea:               an               imaginary,               missing               chapter               of               George               W.

Bush's               "Decision               Points,"               in               which               the               former               president               would               admit               to               having               made               the               wrong               call               on               taxes.
               The               imaginary               but               completely               delusional:               My               inner               Bush               would               not               regret               pushing               for               the               tax               cuts.

But               he               would               acknowledge               -               how               hard               could               this               be?

-               that               Alan               Greenspan               was               right               when               he               suggested               a               trigger               mechanism               to               cancel               the               cuts               if               the               promised               surplus               failed               to               materialize.
               If               only               .

.

.
               Of               course,               that               surplus               was               a               mirage.

Rather               than               presiding               over               erasure               of               the               publicly               held               national               debt,               Bush               watched               it               grow               from               $5.6               trillion               to               nearly               $10               trillion."
               Bush               43               never               apologizes               even               if               the               facts               would               require               him               to               do               so               as               the               article               states               "He               took               office               after               three               years               in               which               Clinton               had               overseen               surpluses.

After               2001,               Bush               presided               over               seven               straight               years               of               deficits.
               In               short,               Bush               inherited               a               budget               in               healthy               shape.

He               left               it               in               tatters.

The               faltering               economy               played               a               supporting               role,               but               the               chief               factors               were               of               Bush's               making:               his               tax               cuts,               his               wars,               his               prescription               drug               bill.

Without               these,               the               country               would               have               been               running               surpluses               during               his               tenure.

The               wars               will               wind               down,               but               the               price               of               the               tax               cuts               and               prescription               drug               bill               will               climb               even               higher               over               the               next               decade.

"
               Remember               how               the               GOP's               response               to               health               care               reform               could               be               summarized               as               let               them               drop               dead.

That               disdainful               attitude               for               the               bottom               99%               has               been               a               reusable               tactic               for               GOP               governance               for               decades.
               Reagan               ran               on               limiting               the               government               and               since               then               every               GOP               has               tried               to               imitate               their               role               model.

The               article               "GOP               to               jobless:               Drop               dead"               regarding               this               states               "But               you'd               never               know               it               listening               to               the               newly               empowered               and               emboldened               Republicans               who               have               returned               to               Washington               determined               not               just               to               reduce               government's               role               in               the               economy,               but               to
               thoroughly               emasculate               it.

"
               McConnell               admitted               that               his               primary               objective               wasn't               governance,               but               winning               the               upcoming               election               and               he's               not               alone               with               this               goal               in               the               GOP               as               the               article               states               "Only               two               weeks               after               the               midterm               election,               it               seems               clear               that               the               2012               campaign               has               begun.

For               too               many               Republicans,               the               aim               is               to               politicize               policy,               trash               the               institutions               of               government               and               intimidate               anyone               who               might               disagree               with               their               radical               ideology.
               There's               no               better               proof               of               that               than               the               so-called               debate               over               extending               the               Bush               tax               cuts               on               incomes               above               $250,000.

Unable               to               defend               more               tax               cuts               for               the               rich,               Republicans               like               to               pretend               that               their               real               concern               is               for               job               creation,               citing               the               fact               that               about               half               of               all               business               profits               now               flow               through               partnerships               and               small               corporations               that               are               taxed               at               personal               rates.

               As               health               care               reform               was               mentioned               some               new               accounts               of               GOP               being               in               bed               with               their               masters-which               always               results               in               shafting               of               the               bottom99%               are               noted               in               the               article               "New               Report               Reveals               Health               Insurance               Industry               Pumped               $86               Million               Into               The               U.S.

               The               article               states               "This               morning,               Bloomberg               reporter               Drew               Armstrong               broke               an               incredible               story               revealing               that               health               insurance               companies,               like               UnitedHealth               and               CIGNA,               funneled               $86.2               million               into               the               U.S.

In               January               of               this               year,               the               National               Journal's               Peter               Stone               reported               that               insurers               had               pumped               $20               million               into               the               Chamber               for               its               anti-health               reform               campaign.

However,               the               report               also               poses               new               questions               about               the               role               of               insurance               companies               in               the               health               reform               debate.
               Why               did               insurance               companies               try               to               hide               their               donations               to               the               Chamber's               anti-health               reform               campaign?

Instead               of               fighting               reform               tooth               and               nail,               the               insurance               industry               worked               to               manipulate               the               process               and               ultimately               kill               reforms               by               adopting               what               ThinkProgress               termed               "The               Duplicitous               Campaign."               In               public,               health               insurance               lobbyists               and               executives               promised               to               support               reform               and               work               closely               with               reform               advocates.

The               top               health               insurance               lobbyist,               Karen               Ignagni,               went               to               the               White               House               early               in               the               reform               debate               and               promised               Obama,               "You               have               our               commitment               to               play,               to               contribute               and               to               help               pass               health-care               reform               this               year."

                   Ray               is               in               his               middle               fifties.

    I               met               Ray               nearly               fifteen-years-ago.

    I               was               managing               a               restaurant               and               he               worked               at               a               hardware               store               up               the               street.

    I               had               an               account               there               and               purchased               tools               and               hardware               from               him.

    Eventually,               we               became               good               friends.

    We               both               belonged               to               the               local               Elk's               lodge.

    We               played               golf               together.

    We               still               see               each               other               from               time-to-time.

    A               couple               of               week's               ago,               I               called               him               up.

    It               had               been               at               least               three               years               since               I               had               talked               to               him.

    We               met               for               coffee.



                   Ray               was               raised               along               with               his               two               brothers               by               his               mom               who               worked               in               the               same               factory               for               forty-five               years.

    His               father               left               when               he               was               three.

    His               mom               never               remarried.

    Most               of               the               time               he               stayed               with               his               grandparents               while               his               mom               worked.

    Ray               was               the               youngest               in               the               family               and               rather               sickly               as               a               child.

    Later               on               in               life               this               would               manifest               itself               when               he               came               down               with               severe               hypertension               and               diabetes.
                   Despite               his               health               problems,               he               did               well               in               school               and               actually               got               a               partial               scholarship               to               college.

    He               was               interested               in               medicine               and               wanted               to               be               a               doctor.

    Maybe               that               was               because               he               had               been               so               exposed               to               it               when               he               was               a               child.

    But               unfortunately,               he               had               to               put               his               plans               on               hold               and               get               a               job               when               he               was               eighteen.

    He               moved               out               of               the               house               a               few               months               later.

    His               job               was               working               in               a               retail               store               for               a               large               national               chain.
                   Eventually,               he               worked               his               way               up               to               assistant               manager.

    The               pay               was               alright,               but               really               not               enough               to               get               ahead.

    Despite               the               long               hours               and               his               health,               he               sometimes               worked               a               second               job               on               his               days               off               to               make               ends               meet.

    At               first               he               intended               to               go               back               to               school,               but               he               never               made               it.

    He               just               didn't               have               the               time               or               money.
                   After               about               thirty               years               in               the               retail               job,               he               found               that               he               could               no               longer               do               the               long               hours               standing               on               his               feet.

    Besides               the               diabetes               had               started               to               take               its               toll.

    He               had               neuropathy               in               his               feet               and               legs               and               vision               problems               that               required               extensive               laser               surgery.

    He               went               blind               in               each               eye,               but               fortunately               he               eventually               regained               most               of               his               sight.

    He               also               came               down               with               severe               end-stage               kidney               disease.

    Despite               all               of               this,               he               still               managed               to               keep               his               job,               even               though               he               was               on               the               firing               block               a               lot               of               the               time.
                   Finally,               he               had               to               give               up               when               he               was               in               his               early               fifties.

    He               just               couldn't               do               it               anymore.

    He               went               on               Social               Security               Disability,               but               he               wasn't               eligible               for               Medicare               for               two               more               years.

    During               that               time               he               paid               $500/month               to               COBRA               to               keep               his               insurance               active.

    During               those               years,               he               used               up               what               meager               savings               he               had               and               nearly               starved.
                   When               he               finally               got               Medicare,               he               bought               a               top               tier               supplement               policy.

    That               cost               him               two               hundred               a               month,               but               he               figured               it               was               worth               it               as               many               times               as               he               went               to               the               doctor.

    Then               his               kidneys               failed               altogether               and               he               went               on               dialysis.
                   He               was               on               dialysis               two               years               before               a               kidney               became               available               for               transplant.

    During               that               time               he               switched               to               Medicaid               as               his               supplemental               insurance               because               it               was               free               and               he               was               struggling               to               make               the               United               Health               Care               payment               every               month.

    The               only               way               that               he               could               get               Medicaid               was               to               have               a               spend               down.

    The               spend               down               was               over               seven               hundred               dollars               a               month.

    It's               complicated,               but               if               you               incur               medical               bills               over               the               spend               down               amount               at               the               first               part               of               the               month,               then               you               have               coverage               for               the               rest               of               the               month.

    For               the               two               years               that               Ray               was               on               dialysis,               it               wasn't               a               problem               as               a               single               treatment               cost               that               munch.
                   He               had               the               transplant               and               it               didn't               go               well.

    There               were               a               lot               of               complications               and               he               was               in               and               out               of               the               hospital               a               lot.

    That,               plus               the               expensive               cost               of               the               anti-rejection               drugs               met               the               spend               down               for               several               months               after               the               operation.

    Then               he               messed               up.

    He               started               to               get               better.

    He               still               couldn't               go               back               to               work               because               of               the               other               complications               from               the               diabetes.

    He               had               to               face               the               fact               that               he               would               be               disabled               for               the               rest               of               his               life.

    But               he               still               managed               to               work               a               part-time               job               that               paid               about               two               hundred               dollars               a               month.
                   Then               his               Medicaid               became               inactive.

    He               wasn't               accumulating               enough               bills               to               cover               the               spend               down.

    Suddenly               he               was               responsible               for               twenty               percent               of               his               medical               bills.

    Even               though               he               was               healthier,               he               still               had               weekly               labs               and               other               expenses               that               came               to               a               lot               more               than               he               could               afford               to               pay               each               month.
                   None               of               the               private               insurance               companies               would               take               him               back               even               during               open               enrollment.

    He               lived               in               a               state               where               the               new               laws               against               being               turned               down               due               to               prior               conditions               didn't               apply.

    His               state               opted               out.

    He               tried               to               get               help               through               numerous               other               programs               like               "Ticket               to               Work"               but               he               made               too               much               money.

    Between               his               job               and               Social               Security               he               made               about               $1600               a               month               and               the               cut               off               point               for               aid               was               $1279               for               a               single               person.

    To               get               Medicaid               without               the               spend               down               you               have               to               make               around               $650               a               month.

    Ray               has               no               family               left               to               help               him.

    How               can               anyone               possibly               live               on               $600               a               month?

    Even               on               $1600               a               month               Ray               has               trouble               making               ends               meet               sometimes.
                   He               doesn't               qualify               for               food               stamps,               assistance               with               his               utilities               or               rent               because               again,               he               makes               too               much               money.

    His               social               worker               suggested               for               him               to               ask               the               doctors               if               they               would               just               accept               the               Medicare               payment,               but               two               have               already               said               no               and               now               require               the               twenty               percent               upfront.
                   He               needs               an               operation               to               help               the               vision               in               his               left               eye,               but               he               can't               afford               it.

    He               worries               a               lot               about               becoming               an               "emergency               room               patient"               even               though               he               has               Medicare.

    The               only               solution               is               to               reject               the               kidney               and               go               back               on               dialysis.

    In               other               words,               get               sicker.

    Then               everything               would               be               paid               for.

    Ray               is               being               penalized               for               getting               better               and               there               is               no               way               out               in               sight.

    He               makes               just               enough               money               to               not               get               the               help               he               needs,               but               he's               still               poor               and               struggling.

    That's               a               tragedy               for               someone               who               has               worked               hard               his               entire               life               just               trying               to               get               by.

    The               health               care               reform               signed               into               legislation               by               the               Obama               Administration               took               effect               on               September               23rd,               2010.

    Children               in               Texas               will               be               significantly               impacted               by               this               change               as               many               of               the               top               insurance               carriers               in               Texas               will               be               doing               away               with               child-only               policies               in               the               wake               of               this               reform.

    What               does               Health               Reform               State?
                   The               Health               Reform               legislation               will               now               require               all               insurance               providers               to               carry               children               with               pre-existing               conditions.

    In               the               past,               many               children               were               denied               coverage               if               they               were               found               to               have               a               pre-existing               condition,               but               thanks               to               the               new               law,               insurance               providers               cannot               deny               them.

    However,               these               companies               have               decided               that               in               order               to               prevent               themselves               from               having               to               carry               children               with               pre-existing               conditions,               it               would               be               better               to               do               away               with               all               child-only               policies.

    "Child               Only"               policies               are               policies               that               just               cover               children               under               the               age               of               19.
                   Who               is               Doing               Away               with               Insurance               for               Children?
                   In               Texas,               the               biggest               insurers               are               Blue               Cross               Blue               Shield,               United               Healthcare,               Aetna,               and               Cigna.

    Blue               Cross               dominates               44               percent               of               the               Texas               market               and               United               Healthcare               dominates               a               quarter.

    United               Healthcare,               Aetna,               and               Cigna               have               all               stated               that               they               will               be               doing               away               with               child-only               policies,               which               means               that               they               will               keep               the               current               policies               until               they               are               up               for               renewal,               but               will               not               renew.

    Their               argument               for               this               change               is               that               they               are               trying               to               "keep               family               coverage               affordable               for               as               many               people               as               possible               and               avoid               significant               price               hikes"               and               that               "under               the               new               law,               people               suddenly               seeking               coverage               would               predominately               be               those               who               need               to               consume               health               care               services               immediately               for               known,               high               cost               conditions."               There               are               currently               263,800               Texas               children               under               the               age               of               19               covered               by               these               policies.
                   What               is               the               Impact?
                   There               is               no               evidence               to               support               that               these               large               insurance               companies               will               suffer               as               a               result               of               this               element               of               health               care               reform.

    In               fact,               according               to               the               September               13th               edition               of               the               Houston               Chronicle,               Texas               Representative               Garnet               Colemen               of               Houston               was               quoted               as               saying               that               the               actual               number               of               children               who               have               pre-existing               conditions               and               are               seeking               coverage               is               small.

    According               to               the               Kaiser               Foundation,               43.4%               of               Texas               children               are               covered               on               their               parents'               employer               insurance,               30.7               percent               of               children               are               covered               through               Medicaid,               5.8               percent               are               covered               through               individual               or               other               public               plans,               and               20.1percent               are               uninsured.

    It               seems               that               these               companies               are               worried               about               the               number               of               children               with               pre-existing               conditions               who               fall               into               that               20.1percent               of               uninsured               Texans.
                   The               slogan               for               United               Healthcare               is               "Helping               people               live               healthier               lives"               and               Aetna's               website               states               that               they               are               "committed               to               compliance               with               the               new               legislation,               and               we               are               fulfilling               our               obligation               to               implement               new               benefit               and               health               plan               requirements."               How               exactly               is               United               Healthcare               helping               people               live               healthier               lives               when               they               are               dropping               children               from               policies?

    How               is               Aetna               fulfilling               their               obligation               by               coming               up               with               a               new               way               of               denying               children               in               need               of               health               coverage?

    These               insurance               giants               have               decided               that               their               bottom               line               is               more               important               than               the               health               of               their               subscribers               and               their               subscribers'               children.

    They               claim               that               they               are               trying               to               prevent               a               spike               in               premiums               by               not               allowing               certain               children               coverage,               but               is               that               really               the               case?

    According               to               Pauline               Rosenau,               who               is               a               professor               of               Management,               Policy,               and               Community               Health               at               the               University               of               Texas               School               of               Public               Health,               the               "middle               class               will               feel               the               greatest               impact               from               the               change               and               likely               have               to               forgo               coverage               of               their               children               if               their               employer-based               family               plans               cut               coverage               of               dependents."
                   If               children               cannot               receive               health               insurance,               parents               will               be               more               reliant               on               emergency               care               and               public               funding               to               take               care               of               their               children,               which               will               pass               along               the               burden               to               the               rest               of               Texas               citizens.

    We               need               to               allow               all               people               access               to               health               insurance,               so               we               don't               see               price               increases               in               emergency               room               visits               and               our               own               premiums.

    These               insurance               giants               have               always               care               more               about               their               bottom               line               than               their               customers,               and               I               we               need               to               continue               to               support               legislation               to               prevent               them               from               making               our               healthcare               decisions               for               us.
                   Ackerman,               T.
