Meanwhile, the children’s parents have no idea, nor do they care what their children are learning at school. They also have no clue what is happening RIGHT NOW to their country.

This is an example of despots coming to and maintaining power. Shut up any criticism or truth that may shine light on wrong.

I really appreciate the fact that you supplement your videos with text. Providing transcriptions which can be read so much faster than watched, and which can easily be excerpted by others, is a truly valuable public service.

Thank you!

And that’s only if he decides to keep practicing when he’s losing money on your visit.

When keeping his doors opening and paying his staff, isn’t possible because the government reimbursement is set too low, by people (like Barack Obama) who don’t know what they’re doing.

But he can make it up in volume! – Barack Obama

OT – Kadaffi suggested that the wold would be very happy if Obama were made President FOR LIFE!!

I agree he should be president for life.

Of Libya, Zimbabwe, Myanmar or some other tinpot craphole country he and his little cabal of jackasses can rule and stay the hell out of our hair.

And maybe over there, they’ll appreciate his boneheaded ideas.

OOOooo yeah baby. That’ll help huh?

Being a Kentuckian, there are times that Mitch has made me very angry with his positions like appearing to support immigration reform until they knew it wasn’t going to pass and then ultimately voting against it instead of doing the right thing all along. However, in this situation, he is spot on.

Being an Oklahoman, I entirely agree.

Whose ever idea to send this threatening letter should be fired immediately and HHS should be ordered to cease and desist.

MEDICARE ISSUES NEW GUIDANCE TO INSURANCE COMPANIES ON MEDICARE MAILINGS
GUIDANCE COMES AFTER HUMANA DISTRIBUTED POTENTIALLY MISLEADING MATERIALS

Medicare today called on Medicare-contracted health insurance and prescription drug plans to suspend potentially misleading mailings to beneficiaries about health care and insurance reform. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently asked Humana, Inc. to end similar mailings. Humana has agreed to do so.

“We are concerned that the materials Humana sent to our beneficiaries may violate Medicare rules by appearing to contain Medicare Advantage and prescription drug benefit information, which must be submitted to CMS for review” said Jonathan Blum, acting director of CMS’ Center for Drug and Health Plan Choices. “We also are asking that no other plan sponsors are mailing similar materials while we investigate whether a potential violation has occurred.”

Humana is one of a number of private health plans that contracts with CMS to offer health care services and drug coverage to Medicare beneficiaries as part of the Medicare Advantage and Part D programs. CMS learned that Humana had been contacting enrollees in one or more of its plans and, in mailings that CMS obtained, made claims that current health care reform legislation affecting Medicare could hurt Medicare beneficiaries. The message from Humana urges enrollees to contact their congressional representatives to protest the actions referenced in the letter.

“We are concerned that, among other things, the information in the letter is misleading and confusing to beneficiaries, who may believe that it represents official communication about the Medicare Advantage program,” said Blum

Specifically, CMS is investigating whether Humana inappropriately used the lists of Medicare enrollees for unauthorized purposes.

Based on the findings of the investigation, CMS will pursue appropriate compliance and enforcement actions.

Humana did the smart thing here IMO. First, they asked forgiveness and not permission to communicate their views with their own customers. Then, when the government unleashed the hounds, they raised a stink and went to their Senator who happens to be the Minority Leader. It’s his job to advocate for them and “call out” Max Baucus and HHS; it is not their job to risk further sanctions and incur legal costs and reputational risk (how soon before the state-run media would start calling them racist? If you worked for Humana, would you want that?) by challenging the government.

McConnell has pulled some jujitsu here. He has turned one of the biggest and “baddest” insurance companies in America into a victim of government thuggery.

But dare we say anything negative about “The Won” or his policies and the gag orders fly.

Humana’s lawyers should be having a field day with this. But no healthcare company has enough of a pair to rock the boat right now. Spineless weenies. And the Libs still spew their drivel that these are the “evil corporations” sticking it to us…

I suspect Obama will send mega bucks to the NEA artists to draw ugly carricatures of Human execs and shame them publicly.

Human is in trouble for transparency.

I bought ammo a few weeks ago and the private dealer imposed a two box limit on me, they still can’t make the stuff fast enough.

I’m still getting all the 12 gauge Federal that I want at $4.95 per box. Way too much 12 gauge now. Need plans for a 12 gauge Gatlin gun… WHEE!!!
