What happens to private health insurance companies if American health care is nationalized?

Posted in health | No Comments »


Few would be willing to dish out for private coverage while they are receiving health care from government taxation. Would the private health industry perhaps dwindle down to a few big players and be forced to take a hit by improving coverage and care?
I’m well aware health care won’t be nationalized. I meant to indicate this is a hypothetical question.

~~This is a mute point because Nationalized insurance is not in the works. All the government is proposing is an alternative for people who can’t get employer based insurance to be able to buy directly from the same insurance that senators and congressmen get. Otherwise, business as usual for private insurance companies.~~

March 122010

someone i know signed that he apprenticed someone in tattoos and he did not. now the man is a liscened artist and was not trained by him.

Signing a false statement is called perjury. If a lawsuit comes in the future, the person who signed the false statement could face monetary and jail time penalties.

When should I start planting in my outside garden?

March 122010

I live in Southwest Michigan and I am a freshly turned vegetarian. I think it would be beneficial for my health a little bit. My father used to garden when we first moved in, and we have a large, long spot. I was just curious when is a good time to start planting and what I should be planting.

i’m from upstate NY, similar climate i started my garden middle to end of April no later than May .depending on the weather. sometimes winter doesn’t know when to leave in my neck of the woods
corn., tomatoes, green peppers , cucumber, green beans, squashes, radishes, check with your local nursery they will answer all your questions or go to the library and research. try researching on your computer quicker! good luck hope your thumb turns green.

Fire health & safety for a shop..Only have 1 entrance is this okay?

March 122010

I am thinking of buying a small shop in UK. The shop only has 1 entrance, there is no back door or fire escape. Would I have trouble obtaining health and safety certificate for this property? I need to get Health and Safety as the shop will be used as a tattoo studio.

I live in the US and know who to ask here but you need to ask the Department that approves Fire Health and Safety in your area>

I am going to be in Seattle in February and would like to do some outdoor activities?

March 122010

I am not skilled enough to do the hard mountain climbs, but am up for camping, hiking, whitewater rafting, and lots more! I’d also like a guided service rather than planning my own. Any suggestions? I have about 3-4 days to spend.

Dicovery Park is a short bus ride from Downtown and has nice beaches and trails. if ya can go to a Town called Gold Bar WA,
Wallace falls is there and got a 7.5 mile trail to the top and some great hiking in a rainforest around. big trees and lots of giant ferns and one of a kind moses. starts out a little lame but gets ruff towards the end, bring water and food

Football/Soccer Help (10 points)?

March 122010

Hi,
I am a good player, i have good technical ability, like passing, control as i am a midfielder. My shooting is ok, but i need to work on that. I am quite tough, like i get stuck in, but sometimes a i have a few problems. Sometimes i come back in the car with my dad, and tell him that i didn’t enjoy the training session. It’s quite difficult to explain, but like its just that i’d enjoy it with a bunch of determined and motivated boys. I have a trial with Bristol Rovers coming up, and i want to work hard, but in sessions/training i can’t because of the others don’t seem to be interested, like goofing about, talking about Xbox Live, thinking whats for dinner. Like i have the mind like Wayne Rooney like on improving, but i can’t. I live in Cardiff. UK, and surprisingly, there are no outdoor football facilities locally, and my friends around here do like football, but prefer Xbox Live. I am leaving my team for the ‘a’ division next season, and going for the team that is in 2nd place at the moment. Also, lately before i’ve been going to sessions i’m like ‘here we go, same old thing’. Like I want to go to places, learn, get better, good drills which pay off! Just can’t seem to do it.

Thanks – Adam

If changing teams is not an option then you have a decision to make.
That decision is, do you want to be the best you can be. If the answer is yes then what the other young men are doing does not matter. You need to step up and focus on the drills and tasks the coach is giving you. Yes, it may not be easy to do when everyone else is messing around but do it. You sound like you take the sport very seriously, so take it seriously then. Also by focusing and working hard, you may find yourself in a leadership role. At first it may be hard, since everyone else still wants to be messing about. Ask them to buckle down and work, then lead by example. You may be surprised at how many of your team mates actually feel the same as you, but were too afraid to do anything about it. Try to identify those players and get them on "your team" then as well.
I am a firm believer that you will play like you practice. If practice is just a mess the result of it will usually show up on the scoreboard later on.
Best of luck to you.

How do u turn in an establishment that constantly has Police parking in the 1 & only Disabled Parking Spot?

March 122010

The bar on the first floor has been breaking law after law for the entior time they have been open (About 2 years now) and I only now realize exactly HOW MANY LAWS they break on a weekly (Sometimes Daily) basis… They are constanly braging about how one of the owners has a LOT of cop friends that protect them and they are always ‘encouraging’ cops to eat here so they can get on their knees and blow them to continue their protection and it is only NOW I realize that the fact that I have had to call the cops and file a noise complaint at LEAST once a week, usually upwards of 5 times a NIGHT on weekends with the overly intoxicated patrons out in the parking lot until 2:00am to 3:00am so I am DONE calling down there and asking them to turn the music down and control their customers!

I am going to start collecting video of their illegal outdoor events… I’m going to start taking pictures of how they block off the whole parking lot and treat it as one big patio… (Which is illegal if their Outdoor Patio/Beer Garden License is only for the “Normal” patio that they use) I’m going to take video of the over served drunks stumbling to their cars or, even worse, SHOWING UP DRUNK and stumbling INSIDE then stumbling even more BACK to their car… And I’m going to turn in each and every person without a disabled parking placard…

I AM DONE PLAYING NICE.

I have HIGH DEF pictures of the police officer’s car:

Who can I turn these photos in to?

And just do demonstrate how tired of all this I am, I have done the research and discovered that the specific ordinances they have broken EVERY DAY are:
11-4-2800 Music and amplified sound.
(a) No person on the public way shall employ any device or instrument that creates or amplifies sound, including but not limited to any loudspeaker, bullhorn, amplifier, public address system, musical instrument, radio or device that plays recorded music, to generate any sound, for the purpose of communication or entertainment, that is louder than average conversational level at a distance of 100 feet or more, measured vertically or horizontally, from the source.

(b) Between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., no person on any private open space shall employ any device or instrument that creates or amplifies sound, including but not limited to any loudspeaker, bullhorn, amplifier, public address system, musical instrument, radio or device that plays recorded music, to generate any sound, for the purpose of communication or entertainment, that is louder than average conversational level at a distance of 100 feet or more from the property line of the property from which the noise is being generated.

FAQ from the City of Chicago Department of Environment Website ( http://www.cityofchicago.org )
What are the requirements of having an outdoor patio or beer garden? Can I serve liquor at my sidewalk cafe?
An Outdoor Patio License allows the service of liquor to the public outdoors on private property. Outdoor Patios must be enclosed and be directly adjacent to the existing licensed business. No live or recorded music should be played in an Outdoor Patio and it must be closed (for both food and liquor service) by 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Outdoor Events – An outdoor Special Event Liquor License is required anytime liquor is to be served or sold outdoors to the public at a previously unlicensed location or at a private event in the which the attendants are charged a fee for the event. Although licensed caterers may provide liquor service for these events, the service of liquor by a licensed caterer DOES NOT exempt the event holder from obtaining a special event liquor license. Contact the Mayor’s Office of Special Events at (312) 744-0793 no later than two months before the event to receive information on the outdoor special event application process.

The two squad cars in the far end of the lot left at 9:06 p.m. The car in the disabled spot left at 9:08 pm

Being on an upper floor, I can see the whole lot from both bedroom windows, the kitchen window, and the living room window.
P.S. No, we can’t move until the economy gets better and we can afford it…

P.P.S. We lived here a good number of years BEFORE the bar opened.

Your details and documentation are excellent. Please consider any repercussions, once you set the wheels in motion. The District Attorney for the City and County will consider your complaint and enforcement of violations, but in doing so you are also going to subject yourself to some ridicule. I am sorry but the reality of the situation is they may tell you that they are busy catching hardened criminals.
You may also file a complain with the State license board, they are more likely to be interested in action TAF (Tobacco,Alcohol, Firearms) gets quicker response. Sincere best wishes in your quest. and thank you.
