Is Cosmetic Surgery Covered By Health Insurance?

31 Jul

Insurance Companies and What is Covered

Health insurance policies can vary on what is considered a covered medical procedure. Most insurance companies follow the definitions given by the AMA (American Medical Association) and the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) which state that there are two types of surgery when discussing plastic surgery – reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. Luckily, there are guidelines insurance companies must follow when it comes to defining what is considered reconstructive and what is considered cosmetic.

Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive surgery refers to surgery performed on abnormal structures caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease. These typically include;

Abdominal Surgery: If performed to improve or eliminate health problems such as back pain, sores, hernia, rashes, or to help improve your ability to walk normally.

Breast Surgery: If performed to correct asymmetry, reduce large breasts causing health problems, reconstruction due to loss, congenital absence (born with only one breast), or to reduce large male breasts.

Ear Surgery: If performed to correct deformed ears by birth, disease, or injury.

Eyelid Surgery: If performed to correct drooping eyelids that are causing vision problems or correct eyelids that are turned in an abnormal way.

Facial Surgery: If performed to balance the appearance if caused by paralysis, or to treat deformities in the facial muscles, head, or neck.

Hand Surgery: If performed to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s contracture, nerve injuries, tendon injuries, fused fingers, or other deformities.

Nasal Surgery: If performed to correct deformities resulting from birth, disease, or problems with breathing.

Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is the reshaping of normal structures on the body to improve the self-esteem or appearance of a patient. These typically include physical improvements that are not medically necessary. Such as breast enlargement procedures, nose jobs (rhinoplasty), face lifts, hair transplants or laser hair removal, elimination of spider veins other such ‘appearance’ type medical procedures.

Researching Your Procedure

Read your health insurance plan booklet. You will likely find quick answers about surgeries covered, the appeals process and your expected deductible for the procedure.

Every health insurance company has a list of pre-approved medical procedures. So the direct method of contacting your health insurance provider will save you a lot of time when finding out if the exact procedure you need to have, or would like to have, is covered. Ask about exceptions, rule changes or special considerations. If possible, ask them to mail or fax you an approval letter or document outlining the coverage of the procedure you are asking about.

When speaking with your health insurance PPO or HMO provider, make sure you understand all details. Some insurance companies may cover the initial operation, but not the “post-op” complications or touch-ups. Some may not cover the surgery but will protect you in case of problems later on. Some may just cover prescriptions and short-term disability.

Before any type of surgery, discuss the procedure with your doctor and insurance carrier to determine what coverage, if any, you can expect.

Music Review – MercyMe, "The Generous Mr. Lovewell"

30 Jul

The Generous Mr. Lovewell is a fictitious character from the creative musical minds of MercyMe. The band has fashioned him to embody the good-hearted expressions of righteousness, love, and kind-heartedness that we should all should be engaging in. In Mr. Lovewell’s world, doing good is never debated or contemplated; it’s merely carried out from a heart of compassion. So how well does The Generous Mr. Lovewell album properly convey that same attitude to audiences?

The Generous Mr. Lovewell, MercyMe’s 8th CD, is a higher energy work than previous releases. It’s a good balance to the band’s more contemplative classics like “I Can Only Imagine” and “God With Us”. There is generous use of distorted guitars and heavy synth patches, all working together to create a tasteful tapestry of feel-good Christian music.

Some highlights…

“This Life” is a high energy electro-trance kick-off, reminding me of the Newsboys from the ’90′s. The throbbing bass and rockin’ drums lay the musical foundation for “This Life”, sending the message that we were meant make the utmost of the life given us.

I don’t have to stall/I don’t have to wait

Don’t have to bide my time/’Til I make my escape

‘Cause heaven’s in my heart/ I won’t settle for less

I will lift up Your name/by the life I live

Every moment is a chance to let your life break through.

This Life – this life was meant to shine.

Slightly campy but ever so catchy, the title track “The Generous Mr. Lovewell” sounds like it takes some of its influence from The Beatle’s Yellow Submarine movie. The boppy groove is similar to “So Long Self”, but the distinctly novel and refreshing persona of Mr. Lovewell shines through in this original song. It clearly communicates that we need more Mr. Lovewell’s in the world; spreading love just for love’s sake. The background vocals and synth sounds really help convey an irresistible light-hearted character; balancing the more weighty Commission given to us to be lights to this world.

He wakes up every day the same/Believing he’s going to make a change

Never wonders if but when

I guarantee he can find a way/to reach out and make somebody’s day/’cause someone took the time with him.

Hey Mr. Lovewell, do in a day what you do everyday

No matter how small, believing that it’s all the same

Come on Mr. Lovewell, oh we could use a few more just like you

To care enough to give this life away

‘Cause you’ve been changed/the Generous Mr. Lovewell loves today.

Overall, this album has some really fresh experimentation in musical textures and grooves going on that music lovers will appreciate. In a time where lack of musical creativity is more evident than anything else in some artists’ works, it’s clear that MercyMe invested abundant time in composing Mr. Lovewell. I love the retro 60′s spy movie vibe in “Crazy Enough”, showing us that the group’s creative juices are far from tapped out. And “Beautiful” has a wonderful suspended trance-type texture that is both haunting and intriguing. Overall, each song on the album plays a part in building a colorful palate of sounds and musical textures.

No MercyMe album would be complete without a radio-friendly masterpiece; the out-of-the-ballpark anthem of the same magnitude in Christian music as “I Can Only Imagine”. “All of Creation” appears tailor-made to fill that order. With Bart Millard’s powerful vocals delivering this new anthem, the lyrics are drenched with praise to an all-encompassing Creator who made us to rejoice in His glory, and who opens the doors eternity for His believers.

Time’s faded

And we see Him face to face

Every doubt erased

Forever we will worship the King

All of creation sing with me now

Lift up your voice and lay your burden down

All of creation sing with me now

Fill up the heavens, let His glory resound

Having experienced the album, it’s clear that the idea of a “Mr. Lovewell” goes beyond just a “hook” for marketing a new CD. MercyMe uses the courtly character as an inspiration for listeners across the country to reach out to others with acts of charity, acts of kindness, and acts of love – to point them to the Author of love. It then becomes a powerful vehicle to change our world.

Yes, The Generous Mr. Lovewell is a chivalrous and thoughtful gentleman we should all get to know better – both within the confines of our CD collections – AND in how we interact with others.

Barack Obama’s Health Care Plan

29 Jul

Barack Obama’s ambitious health care plan is fairly simple and straightforward. His plan seeks to dramatically and swiftly increase the number of people that have health insurance. He insists that this plan will save the typical American family approximately 00 in annual costs. Since the average Ohio premium is less than most other states, savings to Ohio residents may average less than 00.

The plan is designed to give the federal government more control over medical decisions and dollars, a major difference from the current decentralized system of employer-based insurance and state-based insurance regulation. Here in Ohio, health insurers have been effectively held in check by the Ohio Department of Insurance. This, however, is not the case in many other states.

The Obama Plan

Many parts of the Obama plan resemble initiatives from the Clinton health plan of 1994 and the Kerry Health plan of 2004.

Essentially, Obama’s health care plan is divided into three sections:

1. Modernizing the US health care system to lower costs and improve quality

2. Promoting prevention and strengthening public health

3. Quality, portable and affordable health coverage for every person

The “Savings”

The 00 in savings will come from health care reform, using some of the following initiatives:

*Making medical insurance universal, which may reduce spending on uncompensated care.

*Improving management and prevention of chronic conditions.

*Increasing insurance industry competition and reducing underwriting costs and profits.

*Providing reinsurance for catastrophic coverage, which will reduce insurance premiums.

Shifting Cost Burden

While all of these ideas are feasible, the underlying theme seems to be simply shifting some of the cost burden from the private sector to the government. And of course, much more control of our health dollars and decisions would come from Washington D.C and not Anthem or UnitedHealthCare.

The plan will actually compete directly with Ohio private insurance companies in a “National Health Insurance Exchange.” The federal government (not health insurance carriers) would determine the quality of benefits that Americans would receive. And these new rules would apply to both the new national health plan and all participating private health plans.

Preventative Coverage Would Be Emphasized

Obama’s health care plan will encourage “healthy lifestyles” with specific emphasis on wellness. Employer wellness programs will be increased, and cafeterias and vending machines in the workplace may see healthier food.

School-based health screening programs may increase along with increased support for physical education.

For Ohio individuals and families, the Obama plan would require preventative services on many federally-supported programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP. One benefit may be possible discounts to on health insurance premiums for enrollment in wellness and prevention programs.

Currently, some Ohio individual health insurance policies offer a similar discount, such as Anthem’s Lumenos Health Incentive Account (HIA).

Ohio Group Health Insurance

Employer-based health insurance would radically change under the Obama plan. Here in Ohio, both small and large employers are able to choose among many different plans for their employees. The Obama plan would force employers to offer a specific level of health benefits to their employees or pay a tax to finance a national health program. Currently, the amount of provided health benefits and the size of the tax have not been specifically discussed.

Perhaps the best and most economical health insurance plan for Ohio residents would be a concept already in place…HSAs (Health Savings Accounts). Thus, instead of imposing a top-down change on the health care system, it would seem to be prudent to transfer direct control of medical dollars to individuals and families. This would allow Americans to choose their own health plans and benefits, while making health insurance companies compete directly for consumer’s dollars by providing a real value to patients.

All of this could be accomplished by specific tax and regulatory changes designed to utilize the power of free-market competition. Health care spending could be reduced, preventative treatment could be emphasized and portability could be promoted. Reforming the tax treatment of health insurance and aiding employers that help their employees buy health insurance would help quite a bit.

For now, Ohio health insurance rates are remarkably low compared to many other states. There are many reputable insurance companies that offer a wide array of policies, including Health Savings Accounts. That shouldn’t change much for the next two years. In 2011, things might change…hopefully, for the better.

Life Insurance For the Terminally Ill

28 Jul

If a person is suffering from a terminal illness, accelerated death benefits, or terminal life insurance, can help that individual pay the associated costs of the medical care he or she needs. Should everyone have terminal life insurance? What are the illnesses that this kind of insurance policy covers? Explain the way this kind of policy works. This article will attempt to address these issues.

How are the qualifications for terminal life insurance defined?

The people who are covered by terminal insurance are those who have a fatal illness, such as cancer, only. The insurance policy carrier will offer a significant sum of money for defraying medical costs if a qualified physician has diagnosed the insured with a terminal illness, and the individual’s life expectancy is less than one year.

Why is terminal insurance necessary?

Medical costs can sky rocket very quickly when a patient with a terminal illness is being cared for, whether it’s yourself or someone you are responsible for. The patient’s loved ones are not only dealing with the associated emotional distress, but also with the expenses, which can be a grim ordeal. Some of that burden can be relieved, as the terminal insurance will cover a significant amount of the medical costs.

How does one obtain a policy?

This kind of insurance policy is not offered separately. Terminal illness insurance is an option for an existing mortgage or life insurance policy and can be attached with a rider. There are insurance carriers that offer this kind of benefit by default as a part of their life insurance coverage. Other companies may provide benefits for terminal patients with a rider at an additional charge.

Is terminal illness life insurance similar to that for the critically ill?

It is different. Terminal illness life insurance covers only the terminally ill; that is, those individuals who will die from their illnesses within a brief time. Do not mistake it for a critical illness policy. Only people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and are expected to succumb to their disease one year following that diagnosis will be covered by terminal illness life insurance.

Diseases such as AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney failure, Parkinson’s disease, bacterial meningitis, heart disease, or stroke, are covered by critical illness insurance. Because of the specific qualifications of these kinds of life insurance, it’s critical to be aware of their differences.

What kind of verification of terminal illness does the insurance provider require?

Most insurance carriers want a qualified doctor to provide a medical certificate that officially states that you have a terminal illness and are expected to die within a year. After receipt of the certificate, the carrier will provide the money that the policy agreed to pay.

What about after I’m paid?

Following payment by the insurance provider for the covered amount, your policy will be terminated at once.

What happens if I unexpectedly recover?

If a year or more has passed since you were diagnosed with a terminal illness, and you are still living, the money you received from the insurance provider is yours to keep without penalty. You will not be required to pay any additional premiums ever, as the terminal illness life insurance coverage is no longer in effect. Of course, neither can you can make any future claims against that policy to cover the costs of any continuing medical care.

The purpose of this article is to provide a fundamental understanding about this kind of insurance policy. If you need more information or have questions about your current policy, call a qualified insurance professional for advice. You will be able to make a more informed decision on the kind of policy that will best meet your requirements.

My Concern – Your Duty

27 Jul

In plight–

Where as I have retained a domicile of the Prince George’s county for the last 17 years and citizen of this great nation of ours for the last 22 years I have expected and achieved many of the things this nation promised and offered and failed in some that could be expected and should have been ascertained that prompted me to write this letter of appeal for a possible intervention. As it is customary, it is often the hard wrap that we citizens get that make us cry for your ears and help that incites us to contact you, and here you have it from one badly bitten up constituent of yours. Whereas I have been tormented, harasses, stacked, embezzled, robbed and bitten, as it is expected and as it is often done, I had made reports to the local police all or most of the incidents without hope of getting solution for the past incidents and abatement of future acts of crime. To date I found no vindication to past commitment of crimes against me or abatement to current ongoing acts of crime and lost hope in the possible curtailment of future acts as well.

Whereas I clearly understand my duty to serve my country if needed and called up on, I simultaneously feel deeply that my rights and property ought be respected and defended. A citizen whose properties are not defended and whose rights are not respected should not be expected or called up on to serve for duty without right is servitude. As I strongly feel that the only one commodity humanity is willing to exchange her/his life for and had done so for millennial is her/his freedom, the gravity of any violations to any aspect of our freedom is clear to all without any verbal or other fanciful expressions. It deprives the very essence of living as nature has it in itself in all forms to either die or fight to death when deprived of its innate rights. As infringements on my property, civil rights and personal rights has become my staple and the local law enforcement are inept to alleviate or solve the problem, and in the face of ever continuing flagrant invasive and intrusive violations against me, all that is mine and I do: It has become clear to me that the problem is not going anywhere in light of my weakened economic and other means available to me without a help may be of you and your good offices power and authority.

A call for conscious and remedial action: -

Where as memory time and space does not suffice it to innumerate all the accounts of my grievances, I shall try to describe them as briefly as I can and leave the details of them to be available upon request.

A) Where as learning is a virtue and teaching a higher calling, when consent and direct two way communications between the two parties is absent. It violates the very foundation of learning and it would only serve either in apparent creation of a sense of entitlement and a sense and reality of duty without rights on the one or the other party when such a direct communication lucking in spite of the well meant and very good intentions. Whereas the teacher or a student is and should be entitled to a private and public acknowledgment for her/his mental or other works. You know better than I, that the absence of such an acknowledgment engenders a host parasite/host relation that corrodes social and personal well being of the individuals or groups involved. I have been locked up in such a relationship with out my consent or intent with people who are much stronger, much organized and with much greater means than I, and I need your help.

B) Where as I believe anything that is done and said with an intent and purpose of service to country in the defense of human freedom and well being is vitreous, when and if anything done in the guise of service lucks accountability, sense of direction by way of inputs, consent and will of the actors on the theater, it becomes a chaotic anomalous disturbance to nowhere and about nothing instead of the synchronous targeted effective persecution of an objective.

Whereas audits may be worthwhile necessary preoccupations, but if one looses the rights to ones audits, how different would it be from losing ones prized property?

Whereas prior consent and agreement is a social legal norm of conducting any for profit or nonprofit business, absent such pre agreement and consent, if and when a work mental or physical is directly or indirectly forced on someone by the use of God given and natural abilities and utensil creations of human ingenuity, how difficult could it be to see the parallels between classical slavery and this kind of modern day bondage? Such a usurpation of my work without prior legal or other agreements and without my consent authorized or implied is the case I bring before you for possible reclaim and future curtailment.

C) Where as I think and believe reporting crime committed against one or the other to the police for a remedial or diagnostic counter measures, failure to garner sympathy leave alone solutions and abatement to repetitive criminal violations against me and lose of hope and confidence again is the cause for this appeal letter just in case you will be able to do something about it and I am sure you can and you will.

D) Where as personal privacy of fellow citizens is one of the corner stone’s of our bill of rights, mine has been diminished to the point of non existence by some invisible untouchables of means and power for reasons not yet clear to me, but clearly not rational enough.

Whereas when a crime is committed by one, it is often the norm to lose a fraction or some of the constitutionally guaranteed rights upon indictment or conviction, it is another to lose any or a fraction without even a formal allegation or arrest as is the case for me, where I feel as a non convicted convict in a jail house without even a formal indictment or court proceedings that I will like you to feel my feeling and act on my plight.

E) Where as modern technological advances had made many high-tech high end tools and gadgetry to people of money, means and ingenuity for good and novel use from medical to industrial productions, it is no news to you that the same tools and instruments could and are being used in manners and ways that are totally and completely incompatible to modern norms and ways (you may call it savagery in modernism and backwardness in modern advance). Whereas their capability to reach, see, hear, and deliver has been enhanced to such an extent, if by intent or by mere accident a wrongfully targeted individual or group by a legal entity or illegal groups or individual could suffer lethal and devastating and irreversible blows. Light and sound wave instruments being among the ones that are extensively used by the medical practitioners, in the hands of untrained ill intended individuals the measure of harm and damage they could do is clear to you than I and I have been and am subjected to deployment of such intrusive gadgets and tools by people who had the means and the organization and I stand in a living testimony to the devastating effects of such gadgetry.

F) Where as the Internet and the cyber technology has enabled and enthroned as many, it need no telling you or anyone else that it as well enthroned and enshrined fraud, extortion, embezzlement, theft and recently blackmail and harassment. Where as one of the greatest freedoms entertained and practiced by this nation is the freedom to freely worship the God or no God of ones personal choice, any effort or intent to coerces one in to worshiping a God or religion of preference by any means and way, I for one feel counters the same fundamentals. I have suffered a tremendous amount by such coercive tactics and am suffering and demand its abatement and ask of your help.

G) Where as the entertainment industry is vitally important to the well being and is a vital form of social expression the loss of the individuals right for the mere entertainment value to the public is a highly slippery road to individual civil and human rights that ought be seen with care and diligence. Whereas actors, directors, auditors and writers and everyone else involved in a film or any other media production their relative position, rights and duty are clearly demarcated and legally defined, it sounds to me something to have seriously gone wrong when any local villager demands an action on a scene without any of the legally binding agreements and role allocations and without any accountability by the action calling self proclaimed director individual or group with an ear piercing sonar sound or skin pinching laser. Whereas some things rather remain classified for the purpose and with intent of the public good, limitations ought to be drown as to when the balance tilts in favor of declassification for the sake of the observance of the individual’s right against the public’s interest for classification. After all the public is a collection of individuals and a collection of free individuals is freer than a free collection. Where as a collection of free individual’s guarantees a free collection it can be argued that a free collection cannot guarantee all free members of a collection. Where the night and the bush has become a hiding cover, the car an escaping chariot, and the wall a protective shield; Answer me if you will, do we have to suffer such humiliation as individuals without the exorbitant means to protect ourselves against these local brute brats and outlaws?!

H) Where as it is expected that all the causes of my grievance to ease and help to have been forth coming after and due to the plight I had made to all and everyone concerned and duty bound to see to the well being of any citizen. It is unprecedented to be faced with an escalation of abuse, torment, harassment and extortion to such a level of total physical social and psychological decapitation as a result may be of my appeal for help for there are indications that lead in the direction by way of whistling and the like. The gravity of the circumstance have become such that intrusive interferences and coercive efforts have escalated from audio and video illusive tactics to chemical, physical and medical intrusive interferences that I have become a living cadaver on whom medical autopsy is being performed every night from the tip of my finger nails to the tip of my head hairs. To know may be all and none of what I might have been mad of and evolved to be despite my understanding and full knowledge that I am an ordinary person living and leading an ordinary life. I will leave to the concerned and diligent reader of this plight, to imagine and calculate the lasting and temporary medical, psychological, economic, social and moral coast of such belligerence and disregard for the well being and right of a fellow human being and simply say once again and for ever more stop and help stop this scourge. Be mindful of the fact that even things made of iron and steel have malleability and ductility limits that they simply yield and break in time under pressure, leave alone me who is made of flesh, bones and blood. And I beg all not to let it break for every ill that begets one begets everyone else and will not be limited to one in form and content however small. As it is clear that we do not let others do unto anyone what we do not let others do unto us, but if we do, it will or sure could be done unto us as well. Thus It would be every once moral imperative to see to it that these acts are stopped as all morality ultimately is nothing other than being placed in the shoes of the other and fell the joy and agony he feels as that is a certain possibility for its direct and indirect effects to reach every one if let stand

I) Whereas refusal to succumb to coercion and intimidation are not only practices entertained and forced it has become rather the way my complaints are being answered. Physical torture and mutilation has become pervasive to the extent one disbelieves one lives under the laws this nation and in this nation. Identity theft web de-froudment and domain usurpation for material theft, psychological, medical and physical manipulation has been escalated to the extent one could easily loose once sanity and resort to insanely ways and means. The mention and invocation of scientific, biblical and political who is who of this nation and others in apparent effort to make one submit to the empty and meaningless phrases and statements ever broadcast via the Internet, the telephone and the television and other hidden audio and video transmitters simply defies any norm I had known in my 52 years of living on this Earth. It would have mattered less if the abuses were confined to broadcasts devoid of physical harm ,but the fact remains their acts are not limited to the physically harmful ,but it has become increasingly downright toxic and lethal as my cry for help and my written expose of the crime continues. In spite of my grand effort to avert, restraint and defend this atrocious indiscretions the determination to physically and mentally undermine, incapacitate, render me irrelevant by chemical, light, audio and electronic and electrical instruments have increasingly become unmatchable by my individual means and ability. As it is the sole intent of the state and the social contract to come to the aid of the individuals need when and if the individual is not able to defend himself and stand for himself. I had before and I still appeal for help again and for ever more from the authorities for the abatement and permanent solution to this scourge. As it was not a long time ago that I made these appeal to whom it might have concerned, yet I am not sure to date that it had fallen on at least sympathetic ears or if it had at all fallen on some ones ear and caught an eye it ought be none other than the eyes of my tormentors, and they do seem to have both the means and the organization and the power to either cover every ones eye and deafen every body’s ears or simply make it invisible and in audible as they often do. It have been clear to me as I had made it clear from the outset that these definitely are organized are endowed with the capacity to wreck havoc on any one who simply refuses to surrender to their intimidation, coercions black mail, suggestive and implicating moves and tactics. Their exploitative tactics of hacking in to my work and my life is not enough it have now become a way of life for me to live to expect an unwanted visitors with their stunt guns and laser guns, sound guns lenses and mirrors if and as soon as I start working on anything of value that I have given up on doing anything including reading in my own privacy at work or residence. That is the freedom I am enjoying in the land of the free and home of the brave and indeed I clearly see the bravery and the freedom the extortionists, thieves and tugs are entertained with and only wonder if that is what it takes to make it anywhere. It is even funny and ironic that all the laws of privacy, civil and the rest of them all combined apply only to those who respect them and the greater desire to abide by them while the other parties make a total mockery of them and get rewarded even better, and think maybe that is the bravery and the freedom of action and thought that is reiterated in the national anthem or is there that I am missing and still beg an explanation from all the free and the brave to dare and tell me the raw truth. Believe me I can stand to bear the raw truth if I were able to carry all that I had written and said above. I feel that I am dealing and confronted with a group and an organization that had made it its true mission to cause any harm, physical psychological, social and monetary to get their way across, their miracles accepted to be the norm and a complete submission to their will which they equate it to the will of their creator. Such are the idiosyncrasies that are entertained by these groups and tugs that I simply say, I can’t stand them anymore and still demand and ask the resolution of this matter before some one innocent get terminally heart as it had happened many times. This to me is not a game this is not an entertainment, it is not educational and it is not even funny or serious it just is outright criminal, destructive, parasitic, and predatory that ought be stopped and stopped now!!!

II) It is with such people who relent no less than seeing what they wish and believe realized by any and all means that they might be willing to do any and every thing including and not limited at all by fear of God or Law . They had rather believed that they are the law and the God they proclaim to have believed in whose name they think can kill and get away with as they have often done. They often employ and manipulate air, sound and light as their weapons of murder and torture that are often easily concealed from the victims, officers of the law and the general public that they have often are dubbed the miracle makers and their murderous acts miracles.when they get what they want they accuse you of all possible crimes and call you all possible derogated names and when they seek they call you coach and are the kind who are left only with veracious appetite and no conscious whatsoever.

III) As we read this letter I am under fire and being assaulted by the same tugs and gangsters with instruments of teaser, laser, stunt guns and sonar. It would be hard for me to imagine who would provide them all these gadgets and instruments of assault and decapitation and lament as to why the school behind my residence is their staging ground. The school yard after 6 or 7 o clocks turns in to a shooting range every night and the shootings every night accompanied with incomprehensible mambo jumbo have escalated to a point where one can’t simply ignore it and hope that it will somehow subside or disappear on its own. It has become rather clear and is made more than ever more and more blunt in its motive of intimidation and harassment to bring those of us in to conformity with some of the widely held beliefs and norms out of fear or rob us of our measured intellectual and physical labor’s fruits and they have often made that clear by their open and flagrant plagiarisms. The effort to dictate their will, desire and need has become more and more physical as opposed to the psychological, material, and subliminal it has started out with. The amount of physical punch by electrical sonar and laser jolts they deliver has steadily increase as to either physically, mentally or psychologically and monetarily incapacitate .The one surprising irritant to them as is often indirectly indicated by their ever increasing intensity of their deplorable practices seems the inability of their actions ineffectualness to the degree they believed it should.

These indeed are relentless tugs that ought to be stopped by all means for if they can do it to one they sure will do it to many but only in time. Above everything else their effort to make their treason-some acts as though they came about by the wrath of God or are of natural causes and hid themselves from any kind of responsibility is an ultimate criminal act of cowardice. I am sure many will agree that there are no some men who are ridden like horses and others who ride them, and there are no masters and slaves or servants for we are all created equal, but only with varied interests and skills talents and gifts , rolls and positions no one Else’s more important than anybody else for the social machine only works or moves not with one part missing and we are all parts of one national social machine. I demand and expect my roll and everyone Else’s roll be respected and acknowledged as I will do so instead of the nonsensical degrading and belittling disrespect of the arrogant hooliganism which has become a staple of mine these days.

Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Supplement – Help Filling the Gaps of Medicare

26 Jul

Many seniors new to the idea of Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Supplement plans are curious about why they need supplement insurance in addition to their standard Medicare coverage.

While Medicare is a great federal program designed to help seniors pay for the high costs of health care, it was never intended to pay for all costs. This is a fact that surprises many people and causes them to want to find something that gives them more coverage. What you need is to simply add to your Medicare coverage with a supplement plan. This way, you will be less responsible for your overall health care costs.

Medicare has two parts – Part A gives hospital and nursing care coverage and Part B covers standard doctor bills and various other medical costs. Even with this seemingly all-encompassing coverage, many portions still come out-of-pocket without a Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Supplement plan.

Things such as the Part A hospital deductible, co-pays on lengthy hospital stays, nursing care past 20 days, and a lot more become additional payments you must still make on your own. This becomes difficult if not impossible when living on a fixed income as a retired senior citizen. In fact, without a supplement plan, your expenses could easily exceed ,000 in only one year.

Private insurance agencies like Blue Cross Blue Shield offer Medicare Supplement plans for seniors all over the country. Such plans are standardized by the government and are named Plans A through L. Government standardization means that Plan C from one company will provide exactly the same coverage as another company.

This makes selecting your plan much simpler. Once you decide which plan suites your current physical and health needs, then you can compare pricing options from different companies. Overall pricing, reputation, membership benefits and quality of service can all play a role in which company you decide to choose.

Eligibility for Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Supplement plans comes with no fine print if you are a US citizen over the age of 65 with Medicare Part A and Part B already part of your coverage. In this case, you are automatically guaranteed to be covered.

If you are under 65, your coverage depends on current diseases, disabilities and if you already possess Medicare Parts A and B. If you are looking for great service at a great price, consider a Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Supplement plan.

This plan is aimed at families and emphasizes preventive care for children and adults alike. The premiums are higher than the other plans that Anthem offers but because it pays for wellness visits it could end up being more affordable in the long run. Costs can also be controlled by taking higher deductibles and coinsurance rates.

If you are looking for individual coverage or don’t have children, Anthems’ Smart Sense may be better suited to your needs. This plan provides basic coverage at some of the companies’ lowest rates.

These coverage plans offer similar benefits to the other plans. It also might be worthwhile to check the alternatives the companies offer to COBRA because in many cases your premium will be less expensive.
