Obama ordered to Area 51 as 'anomoly' grows

A most strange report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Russian Federal Space Agency (FKA/RKA) states that this Sunday past (April 10th) an ФКА Satellite operating in space over North America detected a massive “infrared-magnetic anomaly” emanating under the highly secretive Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) in the western US.

The NTTR is the largest military base of its kind in the US covering an area greater than 12,140 km (4,687 square miles) and includes the Tonopah Test Range (TTR), known as Area 52, the Hawthorne Army Depot (HWAD), which is the largest ammunition depot in the world, and the recently named Homey Airport, otherwise known as Area 51.

Coinciding with the emergence of this “anomaly” on April 10th, this report says, were violent near-surface earthquakes that have as yet not subsided and have led to earthquake expert Graham Kent, the Director of Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada Reno, to state his “growing concern” as hundreds of quakes continue to shake the region.

Kent further warned today that the next big earthquake could happen in Reno (the 4th largest city in Nevada) “in a couple hours” due to this mysterious “anomaly,” a warning going unheeded by President Obama who this morning announced he would be traveling to Reno this coming Thursday.

According to this report, however, Obama’s trip to the Area 51 base region was “ordered” by America’s top military commanders after a mysterious “object” erupted from under the NTTR and flew at an estimated Mach 6 speed towards Washington D.C. in the early hours of Thursday (April 14th) where it was met by fighter jets from Andrews Air Force Base.

The ФКА Satellite monitoring the flight path of this UFO, described by witnesses as a “bright star like object,” states that from Washington D.C. it flew south where it “disappeared” under the Atlantic Ocean in the Antarctica region where one of the most mysterious battles in human history occurred in 1947 when a vast armada of ships under US command were repelled by as an yet unnamed “force” and known to history as “Operation High-Jump.”

Important to note about this mysterious battle in Antarctica was its being ordered by one of America’s most powerful war leaders, US Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal, but who was “suicided” after the crushing defeat of the Operation High-Jump forces.

Now to if those “forces” that repelled the American attack in 1947 are responsible for the events occurring now it is not in our knowing. It is, however, worth noting, and as we documented in our April 10th report “Russia Orders Missile Alert After Mysterious ‘Vortex’ Slams Into Germany,” recently released classified US documents prove that shortly after Operation High-Jump American military forces did, indeed, capture at least 3 UFO’s, and as we can read:

“According to this FBI document, a memo titled ‘Flying Saucers’ to the FBI director J. Edgar Hoover from Guy Hottel, the special agent in charge of the Washington field office in 1950, stated “three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico” by the US Military in 1947 that he described as being “circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in a metallic cloth of a very fine texture and with each body bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.”

Even more alarming about these alien “forces” are their being reported to have caused mass panic in the highest reaches of the US government when during the late 1970’s they were reported to have taken over 8,000 cattle from American farms, removed their sexual organs, and then tossed them back to Earth from their UFO’s, and as we can read, in part, as reported this past week by London’s Daily Mail News:

“Cows were sacrificed by aliens sending the White House into a panic declassified FBI files have revealed.

It is claimed that more than 8,000 cows were abducted by UFOs before they were mutilated and thrown back down to earth over the southern United States during the 1970s. The memo is one of thousands of previously unreleased classified files that the bureau has made public in a new online resource called The Vault.

The files detail how the aliens took trophies from their victims in the form of body parts and in some cases they drained the animals entirely of their blood. One investigator’s theory was that ‘these animals are picked up by aircraft, mutilated elsewhere and returned and dropped from aircraft.

‘Identical mutilations have been taking place all over the south west. whoever is responsible is well organised with boundless technology, financing and secrecy.’ When news of the cow abductions reached the White House in 1979, there was fear.

‘The materials sent to me indicate one of the strangest phenomenon in my memory,’ said the then US Attorney General Griffin Bell in a letter to senator Harrison Schmitt, according to The Sun newspaper.”

Important to note about cattle is their DNA is nearly a 100% identical match to human beings, with both species being so closely matched that in 2002, four calves were born in the US having human DNA allowing them to produce human antibodies, and just this past week scientists from China’s Agricultural University in Beijing successfully cloned 17 cows that can produce milk similar to human breast milk.

More ominous, however, about the relationship between cattle and human beings lies in their being the most perplexing of species as there is no known evolutionary trail linking them to any other species, it’s as if they just “suddenly” appeared on Earth about 5,000 years ago.

Where science ends, though, the most ancient myths of our planet continues by stating that cattle, along with sheep and goats, were the “food of the gods,” and which in nearly every religious culture the sacrificing of them to “the gods” was mandated. And the reason these “gods” needed cattle, and as explained by the Sorcha Faal in her seminal work titled “Battle Begins For Throne of This World: The Return of the Einherjar Warriors,” was due to the fact that ingestion of cattle photomorphegens would allow an alien species not from Earth to be able to exist in our atmosphere, eat our food, and drink our water.

Ground Zero Mosque - Call to prayer? NO! This is why...

Some people seem to be having a little trouble figuring out why others are opposed to a mosque being built near Ground Zero. This video is intended to provide them with a reminder of what they said they'd never forget.

WHO is or will be funding this mosque? The answer to this question is unknown. It NEEDS to be answered.

May God bless ALL of the family & friends of those who died and those who are still suffering today as a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

History Unfolding

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?

We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine.

And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy... Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten...And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska .. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe are more important.)

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.

This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning..

As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.

And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and... change. And the people surely got what they voted for.

If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books.

So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.

Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbours. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me.

I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

Israel To Get Largest Ever Military Handout From US

The United States plans to provide Israel with its most extensive military aid package in history.

The US Assistant Secretary of State, Andrew J. Shapiro claims that the increased US military assistance should help Tel Aviv reach tough decisions in peace talks with the Palestinians.

He said that there is “hope that the administration’s expanded commitment to Israel’s security will advance the process by helping the Israeli people seize this opportunity and take the tough decisions necessary for a comprehensive peace,” Haaretz reported.

Speaking at the Brookings Institution’s Saban Center for Middle East Policy in Washington, D.C., Shapiro said that the US plans to bolster Israel’s security by providing funding for the Iron Dome anti-missile systems.

Washington also plans to sell Israel new fighter jets.

Shapiro said that since Israel is facing some of the toughest challenges in its history, US President Barack Obama administration has asked Congress for nearly $2.775 billion in security assistance funding “specifically for Israel” in 2010.

“It is the largest such request in US history,” he added.

And now for another take on the same story...

US President Barack Obama has signed the foreign aid budget law for 2010 which includes the granting of $2.775 billion in security aid to Israel.

The Israeli Ynet news website reported that the budget signed by Obama, for the first time, also grants $500 million to the Palestinian Authority.

The aid also includes $100 million to be used by US General Keith Dayton, who is in charge of training the Palestinian security forces in the West Bank.

The aid will be handed over to the Palestinians under the condition that the American taxpayers’ money will only be transferred to a Palestinian government whose members accept the conditions of the international Quartet – the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations. The conditions include recognizing Israel, renouncing violence and accepting past agreements signed with the Tel Aviv regime.

The $3 billion aid is comprised of $2 billion in security aid and $1 billion in civilian aid.

The annual American security aid to Israel increased to $2.4 Billion after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office and gradually relinquished the civilian aid.

The aid is accompanied by special additions to the Israeli military industries for the development of technologies, particularly in the missile field.

News from America - Obama and the deficit

The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, a short civics lesson.

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.

WAKE UP, AMERICA, BEFORE IT’S TO LATE!

Court marshall for Army Officer who refuses to obey Obama

The American Army is to court martial a lieutenant colonel who refuses to deploy to Afghanistan because he won't accept orders from President Obama, whom he considers unqualified to be commander in chief, military officials said Wednesday.

Army doctor Lt. Col. Terry Lakin believes Obama wasn't born in the United States, and therefore does not meet the constitutional requirements to be president, NBC News reported.

Lakin refused to report to Fort Campbell, Ky., for deployment to Afghanistan, and instead showed up at the Pentagon, where he was informed that he would face court martial. His Pentagon building pass and government laptop computer were seized.

The 18-year Army veteran is under investigation for failure to report for deployment and for conduct unbecoming an officer, The Associated Press reported.

The destruction of Detroit and Obama's new Health Care Bill

To understand what is going to happen to America's health care delivery system, we must first understand what has happened to Detroit.

     Detroit is dying.  Yes, I know that there are lots of books on "The Death of. . . ."  That word sells books.  But Detroit really is dying.  It is the first metropolis in the United States to be facing extinction.  We have never seen anything like this in American history.  It is happening under our noses, but the media refuse to discuss it.  To do so would be politically incorrect.

     Two factors tell us that Detroit is dying.  The first is the departure of 900,000 people -- over half the city's population -- since 1950.  It peaked at 1.8 million in 1950. It is down to about 900,000 today.

            http://GaryNorth.com/public/935.htm  (link now missing!)

     In 1994, the median sales price of a house in Detroit was about $41,000.  The housing bubble pushed it up to about $98,000 in 2003.  In March 2009, the price was $13,600.
Today, the price is $7,000.  Check the price chart.

           http://GaryNorth.com/public/6259.cfm


   There has never been a collapse of residential real estate values of this magnitude in peacetime history, anywhere.  Detroit is dying.

     We are unfamiliar with anything like this. The media are silent. The Powers That Be are not interested in reporting on this, because readers might ask the obvious question: "How did this happen?"  Obvious questions tend to lead to obvious answers.

     Detroit has been killed by flight out of the city. The 2008 Clint Eastwood movie, "Gran Torino" dealt with this problem. Eastwood plays an 80-something Korean War veteran who will not leave the neighborhood. His children keep bugging him to sell and move into a retirement home.  He will not hear of it.  He is alienated from them and from his immigrant neighbors: among refugees from South Vietnam.  They have trouble with the Blacks.  Every group is essentially trapped in a neighborhood, with the gangs running the show.

     There is no surge of buyers to take advantage of fabulously low prices in Detroit.  Can you imagine buying a home for cash for $13,600 in 2009 -- a house that had sold for $98,000 six years earlier -- and losing half your money?
It's incredible.

     The "Wall Street Journal" recently ran one of the most creative stories I have seen in years.  The journalist told the story of the history of a 5-bedroom home in Detroit, from the land purchase to its recent sale.  It was built by one of the most influential men you have never heard of, Clarence Avery.  Avery was on the Ford Motor Company team that conceived of implementing an assembly line for Ford's factory. He copied the idea from a hog-slaughtering operation.

     His home was a very nice home for the time.  The journalist located his daughter, now age 91.  She said that she always thought the home was the best home she ever lived in.

     As recently as 2005, the home sold for $250,000. It was purchased by a woman who was lent $200,000 to buy it. It was financed by a subprime loan. The asking price was $189,000. Where the other $61,000 went, the woman has no idea. She defaulted.

     The deteriorating house was bought by a Christian organization that is renovating it.  The house sold for $10,000.

             http://GaryNorth.com/snip/936.htm

     This is simply inconceivable to anyone who is unfamiliar with Detroit since 2005.  Nothing like this has ever happened.  How can we conceive of a lender lending $200,000 to a woman to buy a $250,000 home offered at $189,000?  How can we conceive of a fall in price from $250,000 to $10,000?

     This is the sign of a dying city.  This does not happen in a normal environment.  Even with the mania created by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in conjunction with Alan Greenspan's Federal Reserve, nothing like this has happened anywhere else.

     If you had predicted anything like this in 2005, you would have been dismissed as a crackpot on crack.  You would not have been taken seriously by anyone.  Yet it has happened.

     The city planners, the Federal government's subsidy defenders, and the welfare state aficionados are all discreetly silent about Detroit.


     The city funds its schools with property taxes. Property taxes have collapsed as sources of revenue.  An honest property tax system will generate less than ten cents on the 2003 dollar.

     Last week, the school board announced the closing of one-quarter of Detroit's schools.  The city is out of money. The central agency of propaganda by the government is in the process of closing up shop.  This is not "anti-business as usual."  This is collapse.

     The American public does not perceive what is happening in Detroit.

     When a city simply shuts down from the effects of government mismanagement, the media say nothing.  Detroit has become the poster child of government regulation, welfare
systems, and a population that has given up hope.

     The media say nothing because they are caught in a dilemma.  If they say that the local government's welfare programs are not really to blame, what does that leave?  The unmentionable issue: 82% of the city is Black.  So, that means blaming white employers, who discriminate, despite 40 years of Federal anti-discrimination laws.  But the main non-employers today are the region's auto companies, and two of the three are partially owned by the U.S. government.  One -- GM -- is mainly owned by the retirement fund of the United Auto Workers.  So, the media are not about to blame the auto companies -- not now.

     That leaves that other politically incorrect issue: the rate of illegitimacy, which is in the 80% range.  That social phenomenon represents a moral collapse, but the participants
were all educated by the tax-funded schools.

     Who ya gonna blame?

     The media pundits cannot decide, so they simply ignore the collapse.  "Detroit?  Never heard of it."

     The lesson of Detroit is this: the experts do not see a collapse coming.  They assume that next year will be like today, give or take 3%.  They do not believe that anything as complex as a city can collapse.  So, they believe that things will continue, as they always have.  Taxes need not be cut. Spending need not be cut.  Schools should be allowed to educate.  Tax-funded welfare programs should be increased. When it comes to tax revenues, "there's always more where that came from."

     And then, overnight, the system collapses.  The assumptions were wrong.  Real estate prices collapse, indicating an irreversible flight of capital from the city. The ability of the government to collect taxes collapses.

OBAMACARE

     This brings me to the other subject: the health care law.  It is not law yet, but it soon will be.

     I know what is going to happen.

     1.   Cost overruns
     2.   Fraud
     3.   Additional coverage extended to groups
     4.   Rising deficits in the program
     5.   Lower payments to physicians
     6.   Lower payments to hospitals
     7.   Delays in payments
     8.   Rising taxes on the rich
     9.   Rationing by doctors, hospitals, government
     10.  Delays in treatment
     11.  More HMO care: assembly line medicine
     12.  A search for scapegoats

(Does this ring a bell?)

     In 1977, I was involved in an early warning operation. Three teams of physicians and economists toured the country. We hit 30 cities in two weeks.  We warned physicians in
poorly attended meetings that something like Obamacare was coming.  It has now arrived.  The physicians we spoke to are mostly retired.  They saw some of this happen on a minor
scale, but they escaped.

     I spoke about the percentage of the GDP (then GNP) devoted to heath care: about 7%.  Today, it is 15%.  Medicare and Medicaid have increased costs.  The care is no better.
Except for technology, it is arguably worse.

     Obamacare will lead to an expansion of these forms of medicine:

     1.   Concierge
     2.   Wal-Mart
     3.   ER
     4.   HMO
     5.   Mexican

     CONCIERGE.  The rich and very rich hire their own physicians. They pay top dollar. The physicians do not take third-party payments, either from the government or insurance
companies. They are independent practitioners. They make house calls.  The houses they call on are very large.

     For the upper middle class, there are fee-for-service physicians.  They take no third-party payments.  They do not make house calls.

     WAL-MART.  These are the walk-in clinics.  They are price competitive.  They treat minor ailments.  They sell services on a one-time basis.  They take credit cards.  They may or may not cater to the Medicare crowd.  They are assembly-line clinics.  There are no major surgeries or other high-cost, high-risk services.

     ER.  Large hospital emergency rooms are mandated by law. The poor get treated there.  In a life-and-death emergency, they work.  People who would otherwise die in a couple of
hours are saved.  For walk-in patients, the ERs ration by time.  Patients demonstrate their patience.


     HMO.  This style of medicine is efficient.  It cuts costs by cutting services and cutting time.  You see the physician on duty.  You may not have seen him before.  His job is to get you in and out as fast as possible.  Time is monitored by the company.  Computers make this easy.

     MEXICAN.  This is off-shore medicine.  In Canada, when you can't get treated for months or years, you come to the United States and pay.  This will not be possible for Canadians much longer, except for rich ones.  Mexico will serve upper middle-class Americans as the USA has served Canadians.

     It is possible to get very good surgical care in Asia and Latin America.  You have to know who the good practitioners are.  Asian hospitals sell for 25% the same level of services.  There is less regulation there.  Place fares are cheap.  A stay in a hotel is cheap.

     There will be entrepreneurs who set up Websites off-shore that direct Americans to practitioners abroad.  The Web allows this sort of advertising.

     Physicians who practice alone or in small limited liability corporations will find that they cannot compete under the new payment system.  Assembly-line medicine will replace the traditional doctor-patient relationship.


TRAPPED

     Most physicians are trapped.  They cannot sell their practices.  The price of practices has been dropping.

     Foreign-trained physicians who can pass the U.S. tests are coming to America.  They are competitive.

     Technical Services that can be digitized are being outsourced to India and other Asian nations.

     Young American physicians begin with a lot of debt. They need income fast.  They will be hired by the HMOs and clinics.  They will not reach the salary level of this generation of physicians.  They will be upper-middle-class income-earners.

     There will be specialists, of course.  Plastic surgeons who specialize in making rich women better looking will not be part of the new system.  They will be able to do well.
But for the typical practitioner, his career options have been dramatically restricted by the new law.

     I think most physicians will stick it out until they retire at age 67.  They owe money.  They need the income. The law's most restrictive provisions will not kick in until
2014.  They will adjust.

     Residents of Detroit also adjusted.  Then, without warning, the economy changed.  Those who were still living in the city saw their capital disappear.


     People put up with the devils they know.  They do not look for a lifeboat when they hear the ship's hull scrape the iceberg.  They assume that it will be business as usual.

     Then, one fine day, it isn't.

CONCLUSION

You had better decide which kind of medical care you can live with. Then you had better locate a practitioner soon. This is especially true if you want a fee-for-service
physician.  People with money will go to them.  They are already hard to find.  They charge more.  It's not easy to become a patient.  They are booked up.

     If you have an existing physician, do what you can to become an above-average patient.

     You had better start getting into shape.  You can no longer afford to be vulnerable to the diseases and afflictions of a flabby lifestyle.  ObamaCare has changed the risk-reward ratio.  Risk has just gone up.  It will continue to go up.

     There will be no roll-back of this law.  It is going to be enforced for as long as the U.S. government has money.

     That may not be as long as Obama thinks.

Special thanks to Lisa in Detroit for forwarding this article. Lisa informs me that her healthcare quote is $350 per month. 

In her own words...

Basic healthcare starts at $124 p/m with the first $2,500 (per year) payable by yourself then the remaing split 70/30. The insurance company paying the 70%.

A better plan would be $196p/m with the first $1,500 (per year) payable by yourself then the remaing split 70/30. The insurance company paying the 70%.

This is BASIC coverage. You have to see a doctor and then go through a medical underwriter who determines if you are the 'norm' or if a special rider is needed because of weight, either over or underweight.

Basic insurance does not cover prescriptions or major medical/catastrophic/hospitalisation.

There is major medical/catastrophic/hospitalisation coverage available.
