Anyone on Covered California (Obamacare)?

that many of the exchange plans will not have the same doctors as the non-exchange plans. Blue Shield will only offer 50% of the doctors and only 40% of the hospitals as the same non-exchange plans. I guess you have to sign up for it before you know what's in it. Pun intended. The silver lining to all of this is that market forces are about to be re-introduced into the health CARE industry. I've read about doctors opening cash only clinics, and like Medicare will pass on Obamaca ...

...to promote his HC. Ads are on TV with Richard Simmons "dancing" to try to entice the millennials. I have now seen it all. What a patent waste of tax dollars. Kind of brings new meaning to the old adage of "tax and spend liberals." ...

red for Reagan and H.W. Bush, but NO more. California's gone very blue in Presidential elections ever since. For those who don't remember, 187 was an attempt by conservatives to deny schooling and healthcare to illegal immigrant children. It outraged MANY of all backgrounds, but it especially activated the Hispanics it was aimed at; and although it was later voided as unconstitutional, the damage it did to the GOP lives on. If no 187, we might well have woke up to a President-Elect ...

last month the state insurance commissioner, Julie Mix McPeak, approved premium increases of up to 62% in a bid to save the exchange set up under the Affordable Care Act. “I would characterize the exchange market in Tennessee as very near collapse,” she said. Then last week BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee announced it would leave three of the state’s largest exchange markets—Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville. “We have experienced losses approaching $500 million over the course of ...

I work for a company who had great insurance that I was in the process of signing up for and cancelling my old insurance, when I get an email saying they are changing insurance. The new insurance is expensive and weight loss surgery is always an exclusion (though deemed medically necessary by my physician). I was crushed because I thought I was finally going to be able to have surgery. Has anyone had this surgery and if so, what company do you work for and who is the insurance ...

I laughed out loud on that one. ...

1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...

Can all you Obama supporters fit there? I would like to make that suggestion -- take that state. You will fit in with the Hollywood clan. You will be surrounded by the rich that you hate, but that you also want the money of. Ought to work out great. ...

When Nuance laid off all California MTs, I began to wonder what was happening but that was employees. TTS wrote me and said they will not hire any from California. I have applied to numerous jobs and hardly a word. I have passed tests at 96% and still, have not been hired. I purposefully applied somewhere and left off my address. I saw there were 400 hits so I figured I would not hear from them. Today I got an email asking, "Where are you located?" Am I correc ...

How awful this whole thing is. It is apparent that the school officials just wanted to avoid any unrest, but they ended up setting the stage anyway. I don't think they could have avoided it no matter what they did, but it seems it would have been much better if they had announced that there would probably be those who choose to wear the American flag. The students should have been counseled on how to handle situations such as these as a group, and made fully aware of the c ...

What a crazy political climate in that state. I feel for ya'. Banks were mandated to make these risky loans, then were asked to absorb the financial loss. California decided to use taxpayer money to pay those mortgages. Unbelievable. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/20/us-taxpayers-bailout-california-homeowners-as-banks-fail-to-pay-their-share/ ...

So, I'm new to this forum and to MT. Looking for legit work and i see InScribe then I click on the site and : Inscribe is not currently accepting Radiology applications or applications from any resident of the state of California. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is the reasoning behind this? Any suggestions to a really good company to work for? ...

Every now and then something comes along that is exceptional and you just have to share it, this is one of those times. This rendition of Hotel California is performed completely without insturments.

If you live in California, have a job and pay taxes Governor Jerry Brown would like you to know that you’re a freeloader and he’s tired of your complaining. In a speech in Orange County last week Brown responded to criticism over a new $52 billion tax hike that was hastily rammed through Sacramento by the Democrat supermajority over the objections of taxpayers across the state. Democrat Senator Josh Newman narrowly defeated Republican Ling Ling Chang in Novembe ...

will take over the fight for our planet. Leave it to the states is what the president says about a lot of things yet: "Trump has ordered a reassessment of national fuel-efficiency rules set under President Barack Obama and suggested he might take away the right of California and other states to set their own tailpipe emission rules. The president says the requirements are too onerous on the car companies and will kill jobs. California leaders argue that consumers worldwide are demanding th ...

I should not be surprised. Leave it to the idiots in California. The California Supreme Court has reversed a lower court holding and sided with California Regents and illegal aliens on the issue of in-state tuition breaks. Under the latest ruling, California colleges (California State University, the University of California, and California Community Colleges) have been given the green light to offer tuition breaks to illegal aliens and deny the same benefit to U.S. citizens from ...

The link posted is for the video. Part of the story is from another news source. The unmistakable contrail of a missile streaking into the California sunset was captured on video last night by a KCBS news helicopter flying over Los Angeles at around 5 p.m. Pacific time. The missile firing drew more attention when local news stations were told by Navy and Air Force officials that they did not launch a missile last night. Flying above Los Angeles, the crew aboard the helicopter estimate ...

Hello out there...my 22-year-old is home from college this summer and is going to take care of my neighbor's 2 daughters, ages 5 and 6, a couple of days a week probably for around 8 hours a day. What would be a good rate for her to charge? It's been so long, I don't even have a clue. I used to do daycare before my illustrious transcription career so I know people can't pay a normal minimum wage. Would 5/hr be good? Any suggestions would be greatl ...

but I miss it and find the more insular, mostly white Christian town I live in now sadly lacking in important ways. My society in L.A. was mostly white, mostly born and raised there, but with plenty of variety, like our Japanese-American neighbors, the black guy in the next office with a passion for French antiques, a Turkish friend whose wistful descripions of the farm she grew up on sound like a little paradise, the accountant who's probably gay, a Yemeni-American manager with a terrific ...

Excerpt from the NY Times article, link at bottom. "As the immigration debate simmers in Washington, California Republicans face a very different reality than a majority of their party colleagues, who elsewhere largely represent districts that are overwhelmingly white. More than half of California’s 15 Republican members of Congress have districts that are at least 30 percent Latino, making them potentially vulnerable to Democratic challenges and prime targets for those pushing for ...

The 2009 stimulus package funded millions of dollars for safety improvements for a dam in California that was in “good shape,” but not to the Oroville Dam that is now on the verge of a spillway crisis. Nearly 200,000 residents north of Sacramento were ordered to evacuate after fears that erosion would cause the emergency spillway to fail, which would lead to “catastrophic flooding“ from a 30-foot wall of water. Despite more than a decade of warnings about Oroville, there is no publ ...

A California state assembly committee has a key vote on the future of Senate Bill 128, which would allow doctors to help terminally ill patients take their own lives. If approved, California could soon join a handful of states that would allow physician assisted suicide. ...

A new bill introduced in California’s state senate requires nursing homes and similar long-term care facilities to implement transgender bathroom policies. The bill makes it unlawful to require transgender residents to use the biologically correct bathroom, and prohibits nursing home employees from calling residents anything other than their chosen name and pronoun. Additionally, nursing homes that assign rooms based on gender will be prohibited from assigning rooms based on biological ...

Imam Ammar Shahin is taking heat for a sermon at the Islamic Center of Davis (ICD) last Friday in which he called on Allah to annihilate Jews and “let us play a part in this,” and liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Israel from “the filth of the Jews.” The Al-Aqsa Mosque is in East Jerusalem, on a holy site for both Jews and Muslims, and has been riddled with conflict and bloodshed as the war rages on between the two sides. Jewish groups are up in arms and calling on Homeland Security. ...
