The Effects of Healthcare Reform


Ladies and Gentlemen while working for ACS as a Medicaid Choice Counselor in Tallahassee I learned things about Health care and the insurance companies who team up with the government to take advantage of the elderly and people who live in rural areas who may not have the resources those in large metropolitan areas have. Now again if you have been following you know that John Whetsel, the mafia, real estate, corrupt mogul in Tallahassee has conspired against me for leaving his company when I wouldn't oblige to being his nor his son's mistress, prostitute or slave. He was under the sick notion that I was from one of these small rural areas where people don't utilize resources and in all of this this man has not only made a mockery of himself, he has made the entire republican party look like clowns and this blog will help expose the "Healthcare" side of this system made up of snakes and crooks. Republicans you can thank John Whetsel and all of the men in Tallahassee who assisted him in the disorganized conspiracy against my family.

Now as you may or may not know my Grandmother and Grandfather lives in a small town in Ga, just about 45 minutes outside of Tallahassee where people are very racists and many of the citizens just let things happen because they fear the white man. The man who hides behinds others so that the evil he does doesn't get back to him. It's no different with the Health insurance companies who are upset with President Barack Obama for wanting to reform health care. Here is the thing you have companies like Humana, Aetna and Cigna that team up with the government and offer coverage to people who either receive medicaid or medicare they dress up their plans to make them seems slight better than what the basics plans are for medicaid and medicare and then they make money by robbing the recipients making them pay co-pays they normally would pay with regualr medicad/ or medicare. Then they go a step further and team up with Doctors and Hospitals so they stop accepting regular or straight medicaid or medicare again making it harder for the patient.

Now this is what John Whetsel did because he was following me while working at ACS, once he realized I was comfortable there and would not be returning to his company he started having the managers as well as other staff with in the company filled with women, harass me. Hoping I'd quit the same thing he had the employees do to me while working at his company hoping that I would only talk to him (sick I know). He also had men at Inspired Technologies another company I worked for do the same thing so I'd quit hoping I'd coming running back to him looking for work. Well because his is involved in the "mafia" and so many people in this area is intimidated by him, he had people coming to my Grandmother's house harassing them trying to get them to sign up for extra insurance coverage in hopes they'll eventually spend so much money they'd wouldn't have anything left over in case any of the children needed assistance. Mainly me, again hoping that I'd coming running back to him looking for work or money.

So my Grandparents have been enrolled in a Health Care plan because the man sent here by John Whetsel has advised them they needed this plan for prescription drug coverage. Now I need to mention during this time he had his team of people watching to make sure that I didn't interfere with this because he need to get my Grandparents personal information for the salesmen so that he could follow them. Are yall following? So please know that there is a John Whetsel everywhere mainly in the Republican Party because most of them think just like this. The same thought process of slave owners of the past.

So through out this process my Grandparents have been wasting money paying co payments at Dr. Visits, paying extra for prescription drugs when WalMart has designed a prescription drug plan for people such as my grand parents and others recipients of regular and straight medicaid. All along I had been telling my Grandmother you are wasting money but because the snake salesman originally got to my grandfather, the weaker of the two he was sold. Now mind you this insurance company had changed names so many times since my Grandparents initial sign up, we have called to discuss prices of copays and why they getting billed after they've paid for services. The customer service rep said she'll have somebody call us back with in 24-48 hours, that was 3 days ago.

Ladies and Gentlemen don't be fooled by the middle man and his health care plans that may offer more that what you already have with the government. It's all a scam to take your money, if there's any left over. See republicans are always looking for a way to get their money back while making us think they are helping.

Sorry Republicans, Healthcare's Reformed!


I am sorry but that's goody for your asses! Sticks and stones equals scandal and disease you filthy mac nasties. Thought we was just gone sit around and let you use the poor as tools for experimentation! (Middle finger bitches) Now a word from our President!

Cristina --

I'm writing to you on a great day for America.

This morning, I gathered with members of Congress, my administration, and hardworking volunteers from every part of the country to sign comprehensive health care reform into law. Thanks to the immeasurable efforts of so many, the dream of reform is now a reality.

The bill I just signed puts Americans in charge of our own health care by enacting three key changes:

It establishes the toughest patient protections in history.

It guarantees all Americans affordable health insurance options, extending coverage to 32 million who are currently uninsured.

And it reduces the cost of care -- cutting over 1 trillion dollars from the federal deficit over the next two decades.

To ensure a successful, stable transition, many of these changes will phase into full effect over the next several years.

But for millions of Americans, many of the benefits of reform will begin this year -- some even taking effect this afternoon. Here are just a few examples:

Small businesses will receive significant tax cuts, this year, to help them afford health coverage for all their employees.

Seniors will receive a rebate to reduce drug costs not yet covered under Medicare.

Young people will be allowed coverage under their parents' plan until the age of 26.

Early retirees will receive help to reduce premium costs.

Children will be protected against discrimination on the basis of medical history.

Uninsured Americans with pre-existing conditions can join a special high-risk pool to get the coverage they need, starting in just 90 days.

Insured Americans will be protected from seeing their insurance revoked when they get sick, or facing restrictive annual limits on the care they receive.

All Americans will benefit from significant new investments to train primary care doctors, nurses, and public health professionals, and the creation of state-level consumer assistance programs to help all patients understand and defend our new rights.

As I've said many times, and as I know to be true, this astounding victory could not have been achieved without your tireless efforts.

So as we celebrate this great day, I want to invite you to add your name where it belongs: alongside mine as a co-signer of this historic legislation. Organizing for America will record the names of co-signers as a permanent commemoration of those who came together to make this moment possible -- all of you who refused to give up until the dream of many generations for affordable, quality care for all Americans was finally fulfilled.

So, if you haven't yet, please add your name as a proud health care reform co-signer today:

Please accept my thanks for your voice, for your courage, and for your indispensable partnership in the great work of creating change.

History, and I, are in your debt.

President Barack Obama


A Message From The President


Cristina --

I wanted to take a moment to thank you directly for the outstanding work you've been doing as part of Organizing for America's Final March for Reform. I can tell you that your voice is heard in Washington every day. I see how your efforts are moving us toward victory.

But I also know that with just days remaining, the final vote is shaping up to be extremely close. Everything we've worked for is on the line, and your voice is needed now more than ever before.

Raise your voice today: We must all speak out together to finish the job.

In these final, crucial days, much more will be asked of us. Our resolve will be tested.

During moments like this, I believe it's important to remember why we have worked so hard for so long. That's why I spoke to the country Monday at a gathering in Ohio and said it plainly: I'm here for Natoma.

Natoma Canfield is like most of us: She works hard, and tries to do what's right. Years ago, she had battled back from cancer, so she always maintained health insurance in case she ever really needed it again. But because of her medical history, the insurance company kept raising her deductible and her premiums.

Last year alone, Natoma paid over $10,000 in monthly premiums and co-pays, while her insurance company chipped in just $900. And then they hiked up her rates another 40%. She simply couldn't afford it -- she had to cancel her policy. That's when she wrote to me. I read her letter, and shared her story with insurance company CEOs as another reason why the system has to change.

That was two weeks ago. Then, just last week, the unthinkable happened: Natoma collapsed, and was rushed to a hospital. It's leukemia -- the cancer has returned. Now she's in the hospital, worried sick not just about her condition, but how she'll financially survive.

So why am I still in this fight? Simple. I'm here for Natoma.

I'm here because of the countless others who have been denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions. I'm here for the small business owners forced to chose between health care and hiring. I'm here for the folks who are forced to watch helplessly as their premiums skyrocket with no reason or recourse.

And I'm here for my mother. She died of cancer, and in the last six months of her life, I saw her on the phone in her hospital room arguing with insurance companies instead of focusing on getting well and spending time with her family.

As I was finishing my remarks Monday, a woman in the crowd called out, "we need courage." She's right.

The politicians in Washington need courage to face down the powerful interests who have held back progress for far too long. And all of us who share this cause need courage to speak up with persistence and clarity in these final days.

I've always found that courage comes from remembering that we fight for something and someone beyond ourselves. It comes from our faith. And it comes from our commitment to those we love.

So please take a moment to remember those who inspire you -- those who give you the strength to march on.

There's very little time left, and still much to do. But I believe to my core in the power of Americans to change history when we put our mind to it. And if you'll stay with us in these final days, I know we can do it again:

Thank you for making it possible,

President Barack Obama
