As a small business owner of Factory Service Agency and an active participant in health care reform discussions, he is concerned about the taxation schedule. Mike says he pays for his familys health insurance and the premiums for employees, not because he has to, but rather because such coverage should be the choice of an employer. It should not be a government mandate to provide health care.

How many states will Obama’s attorney general sue…?
…before his ignominious ousting in 2012?
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100804/D9HCF3I80.html
"About 71 percent of Missouri voters backed a ballot measure, Proposition C, that would prohibit the government from requiring people to have health insurance or from penalizing them for not having it."
"Legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana and Virginia have passed similar statutes without referring them to the ballot, and voters in Arizona and Oklahoma will vote on such measures as state constitutional amendments in November. Missouri was the first state to challenge aspects of the federal law in a referendum."
FOX TV? Nevermind that it is an AP story?
I guarantee he will not sue all the States Obama wants sued. I am 100% certain he will never be able to locate all 57 nor can Barack name them.
Cap stops gushing oil, but problems still flow throughout Louisiana
The capping of the broken oil well comes as welcome news for those along the Gulf Coast, but people there are far from celebrating. At the posh MiLa restaurant in downtown New Orleans, oil has already changed the menu.
“Lately, we’ve been buying black bass from North Carolina, Alaskan Halibut, and oysters from Connecticut,” said Slade Rushing, chef and owner of MiLa.
Creeping crude has marred the perception of Louisiana seafood, but even with BP saying it has now covered the broken oil well, the comfort that follows is not without worry.
“We’re all just kind of walking on egg shells and keeping our fingers crossed,” said Rushing. “We’ll see.”
Along parts of coastal Louisiana, the reality is the fear and frustration has not stopped even though the gushing oil has. The problems are still flowing.
“We might be out of business five, maybe 10 years,” said Belle Bundy, owner of a seafood loading dock in Lafitte.
At a meeting aimed at comforting residents about a new independent claims process, many filtered out of the Lafitte Convention Center with more concerns than when they arrived, Raymond Griffin among them.
“The oil is still out there, it hasn’t magically disappeared just because they put a cap on it,” said Griffin. “We wish it would, it hasn’t.”
We first met Griffin in early June. Oil turned his charter fishing business into a bust and his lodge a ghost town.
“We don’t know if we’re ever going to open back up,” said an emotional Griffin on June 3. “I mean how tough is that?”
Now he’s waging yet another battle: BP’s claims process. For two months of lost work, he says he showed BP piles of paperwork proving a shortfall of about $120,000. The oil company, he says, offered him $24,000.
“My health insurance is $3,000 a month, my wife’s chemo medicine is $900 month,” said Griffin. “My apartment complex…that we own, where our people stay is $3,000 month, our utilities is $2,000 for our fishing lodge, plus our taxes and flood insurance and other things, so it doesn’t add up.”
As residents head home from the claims meeting in Lafitte, cleanup crews down the road prepare for the night shift. Pristine white boom lay ready to be deployed, ready to soak up the crude. The scene is somber, but now routine.
“The oil is still going to move with winds, the tides, and the currents,” said Dr. LuAnn White, a toxicologist at Tulane University. “So it’s likely we’ll still see oil coming on shore for a period of time.”
Despite the cap in the Gulf, few things have changed along the Louisiana coast and likely won’t for awhile. From the docks of Lafitte to the kitchens of New Orleans, there is now a new normal, one that’s still hard to swallow.

Age of Majority for Emancipation in Louisiana?
I am 19 years old, and the age of majority for Louisiana is 18. In Mississippi, it’s 21. Currently, I do not have plans to live with my parents due to religious reasons (and more), and I’m filling out my FAFSA. It seems that, unless a student is emancipated or born before 1987, filing the FAFSA will be based on parental income. If I do not live in my parents’ house and go to church with them, they refuse to support me on car insurance, health insurance, and school.
If I fill out the FAFSA as a dependent student, I will need their tax information. If I do not, I’m more likely to receive help with school.
Any ideas?
*If I do not fill out the FAFSA using their tax information…
It seems that the questions I answered determines whether I need to enter my parents’ tax information. Three of those questions were about my being born before 1987 or being emancipated. The others were about marriage or armed forces.
The age of majority has nothing to do with anything. The FAFSA is based on federal laws. In the U.S. you are considered a dependant until you are 24 years old, married, a mother, or determined to be homeless by the court in the county you live in.
Health bill passes House Saturday night: mandatory vaccinations for all HIPAA H1N1 resistors
http://www.pamil-visions.net/220-215-for-obama-joseph-cao/27696/
WASHINGTON, DC By a slim margin, the House of Representatives on Saturday night passed a bill meant to overhaul the nation’s health care system.
The 220 to 215 vote on HR 3962, Affordable Health Care for America Act, was taken late Saturday evening, and fell largely along party lines, although 39 Democrats voted no and one Republican Rep. Joseph Cao of Louisiana voted yes, according to C-SPAN.
Tonight, in an historic vote, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would finally make real the promise of quality, affordable healthcare for the American people, President Obama said. The United States Senate must follow suit and pass its version of the legislation. I am absolutely confident it will, and I look forward to signing comprehensive health insurance reform into law by the end of the year.

I need insulin syringes, 23 YO, UNCONTROLLED Type II Diabetic, UNINSURED in East Baton Rouge, LA?
I moved to East Baton Rouge, Louisiana from Orlando, Florida in November, 2009. I used to purchase my own insulin and insulin syringes since I am uninsured and cannot get a health insurance policy of any kind and not sick enough for medicaid. I brought my last box of syringes and ran out about a week ago. I have been trying to purchase them here but everywhere I go they are asking me for a prescription when in Orlando, FL I used to purchase them without a prescription. I DO NOT have a doctor and DO NOT have insurance to see one. I CANNOT afford to pay the $134.00 fee to see a doctor at the local clinic and the local charity clinic refuses to give me an appointment claiming "they are booked for the month to try again next month". I explain profusely that this is an EMERGENCY and that I need help but cannot afford to go the the ER (again) and get another $2,000.00 bill and have nothing done for me like always. And nothing. I FEEL myself dying. I’m dizzy, tired/sleepy, moody, my kidneys are hurting mostly my left one, my stomach hurts, and worse of all, my blood glucose is averaging at around 400mg/dL lately because I don’t have syringes. Walgreens, CVS, WalMart, Albertsons, Winn Dixie, Target, Rite Aid, pretty much EVERY pharmacy says I need a prescription to buy syringes. I need help and I need it like last week. 
I can order online but it won’t get here til next week. All I need are like 20 til I can receive these syringes. I CANNOT afford the $32.00 overnight delivery fee. Should I just wait and die or… ? Does anyone know where I can legally purchase syringes locally? Any input/ideas/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I purchase my insulin WITHOUT a prescription because I can’t afford to see a doctor. Thanks though.

Have you tried taking your insulin into the pharmacy with when trying to purchase the syringes? The problem you’re encountering is usually a store policy, not a law, although Louisiana may have a law. I live in Texas and can buy syringes without a prescription (at Walmart) and have done the same in Arizona when I lived there. Some pharmacies assume everyone has insurance and for insurance to pay, you need a prescription. Have you tried explaining that the purchase is self-pay? I encountered this in Arizona once, and after I got through to the guy that no insurance was involved, I was able to buy the syringes. If you can get into Texas, you might have better luck, but you might want to take your insulin with you just in case they give you any crap. Hope this helps.
how would you characterize the effects of the Obama scandals on this nation?
the stimulus that didnt stimulate
cap and tax
the louisiana purchase
the backroom corhusker deal to avoid public debate on health insurance over 50 percent of america doesnt want.
sestak
romanoff
school records being sealed
citizenship records being sealed
illinois voting records being sealed
apologizing for our immigration laws to mexico when theirs are clearly more draconian
the nomination of known tax cheats (daschle and geithner) to govt position
the nomination of known racists (sotomayer) to the supreme court.
etc.
He has had the best effect on the Right since Ronald Reagan. He has awaken more conservatives, Democrat and Republican, than any other candidate in decades.
People are more patriotic, informed and involved in politics.
Thank YOU Barack Hussein Obama
