 Your Rx Cost Under MEDICARE Part "D" Now - It Will Be Outrageous If Republican Plan is Passed Thursday, March 23, 2017 Lansing, MI  As I listen to the television reporting of today's vote on the Trump or Ryan Care Bill I opened my mail to find my monthly statement issued by OPTUM Rx, the latest replacement of provider of drug coverage for State of Michigan Employees.  Monthly Statement HOW YOU PAY MORE What I found confirmed my suspicions that Republican Governor Rick Snyder is pulling off another Executive Manager type switch to a coverage plan where retiree co-pays are rising at a rate where the insurer or provider pays "less" or even "zero" for prescription drugs!  With the Republican-American Health Care Act due to come to a vote now set for tomorrow morning, I wish to illustrate how the current Medicare Part D is currently impacting seniors.  The plan now in place increases the "out of pocket cost" for e...

FORGET 50 TOP SECURITY EXPERTS - BEST SCHOOLS OF PSYCHIATRY DIAGNOSIS OF DONALD TRUMP "President Obama is the founder of Isis and Hillary Clinton a co-founder" - Rationale: SARCASM AUGUST 12, 2016 The top Schools of Psychiatry are now assessing the moods, behavior, thought process and outrageous public statements of Donald Trump. Faculty members from the Mayo Clinic, Boston University, Duke and the University of Michigan all conclude that Trump displays the "symptoms" of an assortment of mental illnesses as defined in the DSMIV. Of course, the top psychiatrists and psychotherapists did not have direct access to the subject for face-to-face assessments and testing due to  isolation and denial. Those close to the candidate may have witnessed some signs of instability but rather protect him than draw his ire. Within the psychiatric realm of study, doctors assess patients for signs of  major categories...

THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK YOU MAY NEVER READ!     But Must Know the Basics due to the Presidential Election     This book will explain the current issues of the Presidential Campaign and the motivation of the outrageous Republican candidates. This is about YOU and the future of the U.S. The book is Dark Money by Jane Mayer an investigative reporter for the New York Times who tells the story of the KOCH BROS. The author became intrigued. There are several unanswered questions about the Koch Bros and an intrigue on the American political theater. I first heard of Dark Money last Tuesday, January 19 in a radio interview aired for NPR , Fresh Air , by Dave Davies. While I listened, almost all of the questions about political campaign reform, the influence of the unknown upon Washington D.C. and a whole lot more! Dark Money reveals the facts that should frighten you as an American citize...

FLINT : TAMPERING with WATER SUPPLY = INTERNAL THREAT of TERRORISM and to NATIONAL SECURITY   Would PAUL RYAN, RICK SANTORUM, TED CRUZ...bathe their children in this water?   Is it just a matter of semantics when FEMA disqualified the Flint Water Crisis as not the product of a natural disaster, but man-made? If that is the case, then it can be labeled as an act of terror from within. Internal acts of terrorism including tampering with our drinking water has been the topic of discussion in recent weeks. The existence of terrorist cells within the USA is a matter of concern and increased monitoring by all intelligence agencies. And a case can be made that even an act of negligence (in the least) is qualified for DHS (Department of Homeland Security ) to intervene with any and all resources to address the rehabilitation and security in Flint. The release of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder's email has only muddied the Flint River tragic poisoning. The large sampling ap...

WHERE IS NESTLE IN THE FLINT WATER CRISIS?   THE FLINT WATER CRISIS GOES FAR BEYOND A SINGLE ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENT. IT IS ABOUT WATER AS A HUMAN RIGHT, NOT WATER FOR PROFIT – CORPORATE & POLITICAL GREED.   GOVERNOR SNYDER’S answer to a media query as to WHY it is taking so long to declare a State Disaster Area in Flint was cowardly and weak. Snyder utilized State Government’s longstanding rationale of following protocol. It is Outrageous, Deplorable and ....Unacceptable! Governor Snyder adhered to what termed as “proper protocol” in place within government. He went on to say that he first had to wait for Karen Weaver, the Mayor of Flint to “declare a disaster in the city,” which he said he received upon emerging from “productive talks.” He expects a similar request from Genesee County. Only then can he declare a State Emergency. To date volunteers and first responders did not delay in taking action in giving of time, effort and money to purch...
