Insurance Groups to Tout Projected Premium Increases, Oppose Health Bill

"This report is pitching some seriously flawed analysis that nobody’s buying, as it excludes all the provisions that will actually lower the cost of coverage – tax credits, grandfathering for existing policies, increased enrollment in private coverage and administrative savings from a more efficient mechanism for purchasing coverage,"

The Health Insurance Oligopoly has been spending 1.4 million dollars a day to lobby in opposition to the Health Care Reform legislation currently being put to vote. We knew someone would have to pay for this, and that someone is the American Consumer.

The Health Insurance Oligopoly is a big playground Bully right now, taking our lunch money & promising protection. When you are down for the count and asking for some of your protection money to pay your medical expenses, your Bully laughs & says "Pay it yourself."

If we have a cheaper Gov't plan as an alternative the Bully will have to compete, something that hasn't happened... ever! Our Bully of a Health Insurance Oligopoly is screwing us badly. Just where is our insurance money going? Right now its going to incite riots & interrupt due process in our nation.

Wake up & kill the Bully.

Barack Obama, climate misinformation, UN Climate experts
Climate Terrorism? World Held to Ransom with Contrived Climate Science.


By Dr. Tim Ball Monday, October 12, 2009

Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize partly for dealing with climate change. It wasn’t deserved for that or any other reason. In his public reaction he cited the same climate misinformation used in his September 22 UN speech.

Worse, the misinformation was part of the claim humans are causing climate change, which is among the biggest falsities in history.

A small group of scientists mostly associated with the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia have consciously withheld data and methods to place global progress, development, economies and peoples lives in jeopardy. Lord Moncton calls it a global fraud. It is that, but much more and raises the question about accountability?

There’s a scientific responsibility to establish validity and credibility of new work. When the work is presented in the public arena as fact a different set of responsibilities emerge. This group bypassed or controlled climate science in the scientific and public arenas primarily through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Deception is unacceptable but as always the cover up compounds and exposes the culpability.

Their ‘science’ supposedly proved current world temperatures are the highest ever and human CO2 was the cause. Working Groups II and III of IPCC extrapolated the claims into hypothetical doom and gloom scenarios. Then through the Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) they controlled the flow of misinformation to the public. Political leaders including Obama, eager to jump on the green wagon or assert more government control, used their work to make frightening claims of doom.

“Human-induced global warming poses as much danger to the world as war”. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon

Climate change is a far greater threat to the world than international terrorism. Sir David King, UK government Science Advisor.

King almost got it right. Climate change is not a greater threat but false promotion of climate change as a threat is greater than international terrorism.

Two pieces of evidence were central to the influential 2001 IPCC Report. First the “hockey stick” which showed the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) from 900 to 1200 AD did not exist and current warming was the highest ever. We know attempts to eliminate it were deliberate. Professor Deming told us about the email from Jonathan Overpeck, an IPCC lead author that said, “We must get rid of the MWP.” Mann, Bradley and Hughes (MBH98) produced the graph that was to appear in the Summary for Policymakers of the 2001 report. As Roger Peilke Jr., notes, “So the IPCC was in effect saying, “We’ve looked carefully at all of the evidence of climate change and from all of those studies and reports the best example that we’d like to share with you policy makers of changes in the earth’s climate is represented with this graph.”

Hockey stick production involved scientific shortcomings, but possibly due to genuine incompetence. Their detection required a competent peer-review process. However, they controlled the peer review system as Professor Wegman identified.

They co-authored and peer-reviewed each others work. They had friendly editors like IPCC lead author Andrew Weaver, editor of the Journal of Climate. The Journal lists Michael Mann as Editor Emeritus among others.

Or biased editors like Donald Kennedy of Science who editorialized, “The scientific consensus on global warming is so strong that it leaves little room for the defensive assertions that keep emerging from ... a shrinking coterie of scientific skeptics.” This journal refused to make Briffa disclose his work.

Ironically, it was a journal editor who enforced the rules. As McIntyre wrote; “I am very grateful to the editors of Phil Trans B (Roy Soc) - at long last, a journal editor stood up to CRU, requiring Briffa to archive supporting data.” Even then it took 10 months before the information was provided.

Up to this point Mann, Briffa and others all refused to disclose their data and method. They even involved the University of East Anglia and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO). It is incredible because in most cases taxpayers paid for the raw data and the research while the output was used to determine global energy and economic policies that negatively affects their lives.

The second piece of evidence was the claim that global temperatures increased 0.6°C (1°F) in the last approximately 130 years. They said this was faster and larger than any ‘natural’ increase and clear proof of human causes. It supported the hockey stick claim of unprecedented late 20th century warming. Phil Jones, contributing author to the 2001 IPCC Report and currently director of the CRU, produced the number. Australian researcher Warwick Hughes asked for the data and method and was told, “We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it.” Outrageously, he continues to refuse the information to anyone. So does the UKMO. As Anthony Watts explains, “The Met Office (UKMO) refuses to release data and methodology for their HadCRUT global temperature dataset after being asked repeatedly. Without the data and procedures there is no possibility of replication, and without replication the Hadley climate data is not scientifically valid.”

So the data and method for the two major pieces of evidence for human induced global warming and climate change in IPCC 2001 Report were deliberately withheld. There is only one explanation – it wouldn’t bear peer review. This was confirmed when the data and method for the hockey stick was grudgingly released. But the complicity doesn’t end there. All the people involved in this debacle were involved in producing and controlling the crucial claims of the IPCC Reports and the SPM.

For example, McIntyre raised the problems with the hockey stick as an official IPCC Review Editor. “The seemingly biased selection of Yamal over Polar Urals has been a longstanding concern of mine and was the theme of numerous of my AR4 Review Comments, all of which were repudiated by Briffa, the IPCC author responsible for this section.”

Briffa was also author of major hockey stick papers. This problem caused Professor Wegman to make his first recommendation, “Especially when massive amounts of public monies and human lives are at stake, academic work should have a more intense level of scrutiny and review. It is especially the case that authors of policy-related documents like the IPCC report, Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis, should not be the same people as those that constructed the academic papers.”

They’re shouting fire to panic the world, an action not protected by free speech even in the US. But here there is no fire except the one they kindled. Of this situation Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, ”…the character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.” “The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater, and causing a panic. It does not even protect a man from an injunction against uttering words that may have all the effect of force.”

Now they obfuscate, bluster and attack those who dare to even ask questions let alone expose the problems. Tolstoi said, “I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.” But this is much more than not admitting falsity of conclusions. It’s now apparent they could not admit the falsity because they were contrived. Their falsity was built into the political, social and economic fabric of the entire world.

So... how often do you voluntarily increase your monthly payments to your insurance provider and not ask for increased coverage?

YOU are a SLAVE... you are just to dumb to realize it.

That's a new one coming from the lunatic reich-wing bigots...the reason I should protest against healthcare reform, that would help me and my family, is to keep from paying slave reparations? Are you out of your freaking mind? Did you read this asinine statement before you pressed "add comment?" You're a moron, and anything you are against, I am for.

COURT CASE AGAINST OBAMA WILL MOVE FORWARD

OBAMA JURY TRIAL SCHEDULED FOR JAN 26, 2010

United States District Court Judge David O. Carter
Case Number: SACV09-0082

Captain Pamela Barnett, Et. Al.
v.
Barack Hussein Obama, Et. Al.

Date: October the 5th, 2009

Motion to Dismiss this Case: Denied
Motion to Set for Trial: Affirmed

Court Aforesaid Mentioned Now Orders The Following Dates to be Made Final:

1. Motion for Summary Judgment November 16, 2009
2. Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment November 26, 2009
3. Reply to Motion for Summary Judgment November 30, 2009
4. Final Pretrial Conference January 11, 2010, at 8:30 a.m.
5. Jury Trial January 26, 2010, at 8:30 a.m.

The above titled case in the matter of Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility to hold the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America will proceed to trial as outlined above. U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter posted his adjudication. There was a Motion to Dismiss put forward by the attorneys representing the Justice Department and Barack Hussein Obama, which motion was denied. The case as to Mr. Obama's eligibility shall now proceed toward trial. This includes but is not limited to: Articles of Discovery wherein all matters pertaining to Barack Obama's Birth Certificate, College Transcripts, Employment Records, Housing and Residence, Passports, etc. shall be subpoenaed and ordered to be brought forward for review.

The decision by this U.S. District Judge is profound on several levels. I doubt, however, government-run media will have any reference to this ruling or the actions pertaining to this case. There is a clock ticking, and I can't help believe Obama, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Read know there is a clock ticking. Not only in the matter of Mr. Obama's Constitutional legitimacy for the office he currently holds, but also because WE THE PEOPLE are waking to the reality our country is being taken away and recast in a mold counter to the Founding Father's vision, our Heritage and culture, and the Rule of Law our Nation has stood on from inception.

There is a clock ticking in this law suit. So ramming as much "change" as humanly possible makes sense in the event sufficient evidence is found to proceed with Impeachment of the President. I released an earlier Intelligence Briefing (March 16th, 2009) wherein I stated a Constitutional Crisis may be coming in the matter of Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility to hold the Office of President of the United States of America. The decision of U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter just moved our Nation one step closer to this very real possibility.

When I wrote to Lyle to request confirmation, this is what he provided.......

Thanks for your message regarding U.S. District Judge Carter's ruling. I had the opportunity early on to assist Attorney Orly Taitz. Since that time, associates close to the case have kept me informed so I have enjoyed watching the proceedings from a closer seat than most. This was the situation with regards to my releasing the information from which you referred. Try accessing Dr. Orly Taitz website: Barnett v. Obama. You could also access Alan Keyes

Many times, as fast as information is posted on Attorney Taitz's site, the site crashes and we have known three occasions where the site was sabotaged to keep information from being accessed nationally. If you are unsuccessful retrieving information related to what I reported, please let me know and I will try to go some other routes for you, and with you. Thanks again for your message and consideration. LYLE

Just one of many problems for your well proven 'Frivolous' scams; "Captain Pamela Barnett, Et. Al fired Taitz, complained to the CA State Bar that Taitz was never authorized to prevent her MILT Deployment or represent her in court"

* WNutD Drew Zahn found the online posted B/C of '44 is in fact valid, as has been posted online for over a year.

* P Berg & The US State Dept also confirmed Obama's travels to Indonesia via his Valid; 1967 US Passport! Berg's $5B plagiarism suit against Soviet Taitz is far more likely to bear fruit.

* The B/C is posted here for your inspection in the comments section & includes a link for ordering your own certified copy from Hawaii for $10 or online for $11.50. http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/09/01/conservative-boycott-of-right-wing-worldnetdaily-over-embarrass/1#comments How come you still have No evidence? LMAO!

Do you mean the unions? if so I would agree, but the blacks are going to end up with nothing from this president but an empty promise. He used them for the votes just like he did Jews, Catholics, auto workers, the teachers unions, the gays, the women, and the young and uninformed. His election was a despicable deceptive sick joke on the American people of all back grounds. He won't get by with it again.

If the names are true, you pick your side.

DEMS=socialists, communists, marxists, facists, liberals.

REPUBS=traitors, treason,war mongers and profiteers,hypocrties.

It's on you slappy.

Another consideration is the massive national debt. Obama's deficit spending in his first year is three times as large as Bush's worst annual deficit. Current national debt is $12 trillion, forecast to grow to $20 trillion in 10 years. Current interest on our national debt is $500 million PER DAY !! The value of the dollar is plunging which will eventually push interest rates to Jimmy Carter levels. The last thing we need is another huge entitlement program our kids and grandkids will try to pay for, but won't be able to because it will just be too massive.

Copterdude, Did you even know W's record final FY '09 budget & $1.84 T Deficit began 10/01/08, before the election of Potus Obama?

The CBO proves Obama's Health Care reform saves $80B initially & ".25% to .5% of today's $14T US GNP annually" http://cboblog.cbo.gov/?p=387

Thankfully Potus Obama trimmed w's record Annual deficits from $1.84T to $1.4T while his just begun (10/01/09 first budget;

* FY '10 is $800B less than w's record whopper, includes Health Care Reform, Renewable Energy, w's 2 wars, etc. & also unlike w; declining deficits! http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/index.php?year=2010

I hope your piloting skills are better than your inaccurate budget fantasies, are well proven to be.

Remember when constitutionally guaranteed freedom of the press and freedom of speech were still officially recognized? No more.
The Obama administration previously issued a gag order to prevent Humana from telling its customers how the liberal/socialist health care plan would reduce their benefits.
Today i read about the administration's intention to disqualify FOX as a legitimate news medium, and they have vigorously criticized the insurance association for issuing truthful forecasts about how the health plan will harm the typical working American.
The next step will be to censor any post on this or other web sites which criticize the administration. Then they'll prohibit any reference to the U.S. constitution.
I am not a supporter of everything insurance companies have done, but I still believe in their rights to free speech.

Money: The 10-year cost of the Senate Finance Committee's proposal is $ 829 B. Yet the deficit is reduced by $ 81 B. So there must be an input of $ 829 B plus $ 81 B = $ 910 B. This is to be accomplished through tax increases, spending cuts, and savings of hundreds of billions from Medicare. Thus, the government budget is balanced. But, we the people, we're not the government. How is our budget to be balanced? That government input of $ 910 B is going to come out of our pockets. How are we going to pay our bills?

to nettie,

We're already paying double what Canadians pay for their system where everybody's covered, and yet they rank #30 to our #37 on the World Health Organization's rating system for health care. Another country with National Health, France ranks #1.

In Canada there are no Gov’t "Death Panels". All the Canadian Gov't does, for an administrative cost of one and one half percent of the total cost, IS PAY CLAIMS. All decisions are made by the Patient and Doctor. In the US, your insurer must approve any treatment and often disallows treatments vital to your health, simply because they are FOR PROFIT. Or after you have paid in all your working life, your claim is disallowed because it was PRE-EXISTING.

In America ,Cigna Health Insurance’s CEO receives a net compensation package for his services of $120,510,000 over 5 years. Can you imagine the head of a Gov’t Agency getting that? We’d scream blue murder!

In Canada, if you desire more "elite" treatment, there are many options for Private Insurers and HMOs. But most Canadians love there National Medicare. In fact, the Conservative Party in Canada put a measure on the Ballot to do away with Canada Medicare, and they were nearly run out of the country! The measure was defeated by 87%.

PUNDIT Geeze forget it. Everyone knows your post are false and half truths, get over it. bush had a deficit under 500 billion.

60 posts must be crashing there server.
