America under ObamaCare, Day 189: Less care, lighter wallets
Posted by Staff

Business First of Buffalo reports:

Health insurance rates in Western New York will likely go up by another 9.5 percent to 14 percent in 2011.
The region's three main insurers submitted rate proposals to the state Insurance Department for the 2011 plan year:
• BlueCross BlueShield's average increase will be just under 14 percent, though about a third of members will see increases of less than 10 percent.
• Independent Health rates will go up about 10 percent for community-rated groups over 2010 rates.
• Univera's rates will rise between 9.5 percent and 12.5 percent.
The double-digit increases for employer-sponsored health insurance still must be approved by the Health Department under a "prior approval" law passed earlier this year.
It has 60 days to review those rates and determine whether to approve them or ask insurers to make modifications.
"Our expectation is they're going to stick," says Jared Gross, vice president of health-care economics at BlueCross BlueShield of WNY.

Medical Miracles

A doctor from Israel says:
"In Israel the medicine is so advanced that we cut-off a man's 
testicles,   we put them into another man ,and in less than 6 weeks he is  looking for work"

A German doctor comments:
"That´s nothing, in Germany we take part of the brain out from a 
person, we  put it into another person's head and in just 4 weeks he is looking  for work".

A Russian doctor says:
“That's nothing either. In Russia we take out half of the heart 
from a person,   we put it into another person's chest and in only 2 weeks he is able  to  look for work”.

The US doctor answers immediately:
"That's nothing my colleagues, you are way behind us. About a year  ago, in the USA ,  we grabbed a person with no brains, no heart and no balls, we made   him President,   and now the whole country is looking for work!!"

CNS News reports:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent $1.39 million over the last 3 years on a study that involves surveying a group of married Tajik migrant workers in Moscow, and interviewing some of them, their wives, girlfriends and prostitutes.
According to the description of the study on the NIH Web site, the research was developed in order to address "the major global health problem of HIV prevention amongst married male labor migrants in Central Asia and the public health risk for an AIDS epidemic in Tajikistan."
"The study focuses on married men from Tajikistan working in Moscow and their risks for acquiring HIV through having sex with female sex workers and then transmitting the infection to their wives or female sexual partners," the description said.

The New York Post reports:
ObamaCare's a painful shot in the wallet.
A Greenwich Village resident was socked with an eye-popping 25 percent increase in health premiums -- and his insurance company is slapping part of the blame on President Obama's health-care overhaul that took effect yesterday.
Doug Gowland's monthly bill will jump $140 -- from $565 to $705 -- under the hike, according to a letter he received from insurer EmblemHealth.
And the annual cost for the self-insured 62-year-old man's mostly bare-bones plan will increase $1,680 -- from $6,780 to $8,460.

USA Today reports:
A Christian event on Saturday for Fort Bragg soldiers and members of the surrounding area is unconstitutional and should be canceled, according to a national watchdog group.
Americans United for the Separation of Church and State said in a statement Thursday that the planned event - a concert and other activities called "Rock the Fort" - improperly enlists the military in a bid by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to win Christian converts.
The Charlotte-based ministry has sponsored similar events on military bases around the country. According to the BGEA's website, Saturday's event in Fayetteville is different because civilians as well as military personnel will be able to attend.
"Chaplains at the fort identified 20 churches in the area where most soldiers are involved," the site says. "The churches are now walking alongside chaplains from Fort Bragg, hosting training and praying for this event."

Obama = Anti Christian

President Obama removes 'Creator' from the Declaration of Independence.

 

On September 15, President Obama addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. At around 22:30, he incorporated part of the The Declaration of Independence, but  removed any reference to the "Creator."

Bill Clinton

I see Bill Clinton is still preaching to America.

He is an impeached President who was also disbarred and by all rights should be on some kind of sexual predator list.   So why do the Democrats keep rolling him out to speak for them?  I guess we know where they stand. . . . too bad for them.

L.A. Stimulus Jobs

Stimulus $111 million = 55 jobs
Exhibit #222119983 that the stimulus was a complete failure: Los Angeles got $111 million in stimulus funds and produced a whopping 55 jobs. L.A. would probably be better off if they just randomly selected 111 people and handed them $1 million each.
