1. Mass. Healthcare Reform Augurs Badly for Obamacare

A new study of the healthcare reform enacted by Massachusetts and its then Gov. Mitt Romney five years ago offers an ominous warning about the likely effects of Obamacare on the nation as a whole.

Researchers at the Beacon Hill Institute (BHI) at Suffolk University in Boston found that the Bay State healthcare reform plan has led to increased healthcare expenditures and private health insurance costs, as well as additional payments for Medicare and Medicaid, for a total of $8.5 billion in new outlays.

In 2006, Massachusetts enacted healthcare reform legislation that promised to extend healthcare coverage to all citizens while significantly lowering costs. The law imposes mandates on residents to obtain health insurance and on employers to provide it if they have 11 or more employees.

It also expands Medicaid coverage, establishes a health insurance subsidy program, and creates an insurance exchange that helps those who are ineligible for Medicaid buy competitively priced health plans.

The BHI report states: "Now that the law has been in effect for more than five years, we can begin to assess its impact on the state of Massachusetts."

Among the findings:

• State healthcare expenditures have risen by $414 million over the five-year period.

• Private health insurance costs have risen by $4.31 billion.

• The federal government has spent an additional $2.41 billion on Medicaid in Massachusetts.

• Medicare expenditures increased by $1.42 billion.

The total cumulative cost over the period is just over $8.5 billion.

But the state has been able to shift the majority of the costs to the federal government, which continues to absorb a significant part of the cost of healthcare reform through enhanced Medicaid payments and the Medicare program — meaning Americans outside Massachusetts are helping to pay the bills for the healthcare plan.

In analyzing the study's results, the researchers observe: "Cost‐containment is often a major goal of health reform plans. However, this particular healthcare reform legislation did not provide an effective means for containing costs.

"The promise of cost‐containment rested on a vague hope that the newly insured would seek preventive care, access their primary care physicians earlier in their illness and avoid costly emergency room visits. Yet the number of emergency room visits rose from 2.351 million in 2006 to 2.521 million in 2009, or by 7.2 percent over the period. The total cost of emergency visits has soared by 36 percent over the period, or by $943 million."

The large number of newly insured residents in the state has increased demands on the primary care system, forcing patients to visit emergency rooms at a rate significantly higher than expected.

The BHI report also states that "by increasing demand for healthcare services without an equal increase in their supply, the universal healthcare law guaranteed that the price of healthcare services and health insurance would increase."

The researchers point out that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed by President Barack Obama in March 2010 is "essentially identical" to the Massachusetts law.

Obama claimed the law will lower healthcare costs. But the researchers conclude: "If the federal law is modeled after the Massachusetts law, it stands to reason that Massachusetts' experience with healthcare reform provides an idea of what is in store for the country under the federal law."

2. George H.W. Bush Praises RNC's Priebus

Former President George H.W. Bush has sent a personalized letter to high-level donors strongly praising the Republican National Committee under its new chairman, Reince Priebus.

In the fundraising letter, Bush 41 notes that Priebus — who assumed his post in January, replacing Michael Steele — is working hard to unite the Republican Party and secure GOP victories in the 2012 elections.

"New RNC Chairman Reince Priebus is doing the hard work to rebuild our Party and prepare for the tremendous challenges ahead," Bush writes.

"Reince made it clear to me that he has one goal as Chairman: to unite our Party and to secure Republican victories from the White House to state houses all across America, and I back his efforts."

Bush reminds donors that the RNC is the only party committee allowed by federal election law to directly support the next Republican presidential nominee.

Bush also fires a clear shot across Obama's bow, stating that the upcoming campaign "is certain to be one of the most important presidential election cycles in our nation's history."

The former president, who also served as RNC chairman, is making his own campaign gift of $10,000.

Bush accompanies his letter with one from Priebus, who declares: "Leftist special interests are doing their part to keep the most liberal president in our nation's history in office.

"The RNC must post a solid fundraising number so the Obama Democrats and their mouthpieces in the liberal media know we're ready for the battle ahead."

3. Ex-Harvard President: Facebook Claimants 'A**holes'

Former Harvard President Larry Summers declares that the Winklevoss twins, who complained to him that Mark Zuckerberg had stolen their idea for Facebook, are "a**holes."

After Zuckerberg launched his social network site, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, along with another Harvard senior, accused Zuckerberg of misleading them into believing he would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com, while he was instead using their ideas to build a competing product.

In the movie about the origins of Facebook, "The Social Network," the twins are depicted walking into Summers' Harvard office wearing matching suits and ties.

Speaking at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen, Colo., on Tuesday, Summers said: "One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities.

"One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview. The other is that they are an a**hole.

"This was the latter case. Rarely have I encountered such swagger, and I tried to respond in kind."

In the movie, Summers dismisses the twins, saying: "Since you're on the subject of right and wrong, this action, this meeting, the two of you being here is wrong.

"It's not worthy of Harvard."

Asked if the scene was accurate, Summers — a former Obama economic adviser — said: "I've heard it said that I can be arrogant. If that's true, I surely was on that occasion."

The Winklevoss twins eventually filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg. The suit was settled in February 2008, but several issues remain unresolved.

4. Margaret Hoover's Book Gets Positive Reviews

A new book by television commentator Margaret Hoover — great-granddaughter of President Herbert Hoover — is attracting some positive attention in the media.

In "American Individualism: How a New Generation of Conservatives Can Save the Republican Party," Hoover argues that the GOP needs to move quickly to exploit younger voters' dissatisfaction with President Barack Obama or the largest generation in U.S. history will be lost to it forever.

Reviewing the book for the Washington Post, Jennifer Rubin says "it's likely to make some waves."

Rubin writes: "Her main and most valuable point is that the hyperpartisan, anti-Obama rhetoric that gets the juices flowing in tea party gatherings and primary races is not the way to capture younger, less ideological voters.

"Hoover is an engaging personality with timely advice for Republicans. Her book and her message, if seen as a way to expand rather than divide the party, are helpful guides to candidates and political operatives."

Elise Jordan, a former speechwriter for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, writes in National Review that Hoover's book is "insightful and important."

And Amity Shlaes writes for Bloomberg that the author "argues that Herbert Hoover offers lessons for today's Republicans about connecting with young voters, and channels his thoughts about the American system."

In a recent interview with Newsmax.TV, Hoover noted that there are 80 million members of the so-called "millennial generation" — born mostly in the 1980s to baby boomer parents.

"They voted for John Kerry in '04, they voted for Barack Obama in '08," she said, "and so Republicans basically have 16 months to make inroads with this generation or we could lose them for the rest of their lives."

5. Study: Americans 'in Poverty' Are Seldom Poor

Most of the Americans the federal government defines as "in poverty" are "not poor in any ordinary sense of the term," according to a new study — especially when compared to the poor in less developed countries.

"To the average American, the word 'poverty' implies significant material deprivation, an inability to provide a family with adequate nutritious food, reasonable shelter, and clothing," the study from The Heritage Foundation states.

"The actual living conditions of America's poor are far different from these images."

The Census Bureau reports that there are 43 million Americans living in poverty. To help them, taxpayers spend some $900 billion a year in federal and state dollars — over $20,000 for each person deemed poor — through more than 70 means-tested programs providing cash, food, housing, medical care and more.

But according to the government's own survey data, in the past decade the average household defined as poor by the government lived in a house or apartment with air conditioning and cable TV, The Heritage Foundation study found.

The household had a car — one-third had two or more cars — two color televisions, a DVD player, and a microwave.

"The home of the average poor family was in good repair and not overcrowded," the study observes.

"In fact, the typical poor American had more living space than the average European — average, not poor.

"When asked, most poor families stated they had sufficient funds during the past year to meet all essential needs."

Study authors Robert Rector and Rachel Sheffield cite U.S. Department of Energy data showing that in 2005, the most recent year on record:

• 62 percent of poor American households had a clothes washer in the home, and 53.2 percent had a clothes dryer.

• 65.1 percent had more than one TV.

• 54.5 percent had a cellular phone.

• 38.2 percent had a personal computer.

• 36.6 percent had an answering machine.

• 29.3 percent had a video game system.

• 25 percent had a dishwasher.

• 5.2 percent had a photocopier — and .6 percent even had a Jacuzzi.

The study also found that 5.9 percent of households "sometimes" did not have enough food, and just 1.5 percent "often" did not have enough.

"Some poor Americans do experience significant hardships, including temporary food shortages or inadequate housing, but these individuals are a minority within the overall poverty population," the study authors concluded.

"Poverty remains an issue of serious social concern, but accurate information about that problem is essential in crafting wise public policy. Exaggeration and misinformation about poverty obscure the nature, extent, and causes of real material deprivation, thereby hampering the development of well-targeted, effective programs to reduce the problem."

Former Congressman Ernest Istook, now a distinguished fellow at The Heritage Foundation, echoed that sentiment in a recent Newsmax blog: "By defining poverty so broadly, we drain resources that instead could be focused on those who truly are in dire straits.

"And we spend billions that could be cut from the budget instead."

USERS REVIEWS:

Happy to discover these at a excellent cost. Necessary these in bulk for pressure sores for elderly.


I have searched several times for a much better item,but this item has usually proved most satisfactory. Considering that I have had a profitable kidney transplant for over 38 years, my only caveat is being vulnerable to some skin infections, specifically in my ankle areas. This item is far better to any Curad brand. When compared to Johnson &amp Johnson’s other brand of “significant band-aid” (it looks just like an oversized standard Band-help), this item is far superior. I learned by painful expertise the other item, even following 24 hours, begins to turn into “disassembled”, loosing the adhesive qualities on 1 or both sides.
If the intended user will be engaged in any extensive physical work-out when using this product on the extremities, I would advocate applying some medical good quality “micro-pore” very first help tape (either paper or “Next Care Versatile Clear First Aid Tape” about the outside perimeter of the massive Band-Help adhesive Pad. With standard walking I have not identified this needed.
The only negative you will find this is the overall value. Most of the Amazon rates begin at .00 for a box of ten. I am locating this item more hard to acquire in pharmacies which are now shying away from first help supplies (no doubt do to the high expenses of inventory). Ahead of acquiring at Amazon, you might want to checkout your nearby supermarket and even some of the massive workplace provide catalogues.
I trust you have identified this review useful.
God Bless.

Oh and by the way, they did it without knowing a single thing about the stock market.

My name is Adam Mesh. CEO of Adam Mesh Trading Group and author of the best- seller, "The Average Joe's Ultimate Beginner's Guide to the Stock Market."

I've been trading for more than 15 years. It's my life. My passion. I've been featured in Fortune Magazine and have appeared many times on the Fox Business Network and CNBC's Squawk Box.

As a loyal Newsmax reader you've probably heard about me from that famous article in Fortune magazine where they watched over my shoulder as I raked in a cool $19,743 in one single day.

In the past year I've been on the Fox Business Network many times and was asked to identify stocks that I liked. Each one of my picks went up over 20%. One went up 50% in under two months.

Sure I've made more money than I will ever need the rest of my life, but the truth is I'm just an "Average Joe" who's found a system that will guarantee me success for the rest of my life.

And now I want to share it with other "Average Joes" by giving you my custom stock market action plan absolutely FREE. I created it especially for those who know little or nothing about the stock market.

What I am about to share with you has turned many ordinary folks—like you and me—into multi millionaires.

But there is one catch. While I am certain that this report will help most anyone who reads it, I am only looking for those who have little or zero market experience.

If that's you then I have some good news for you!

That's the number one thing I look for in someone who comes to me wanting to become a successful trader. He or she must have little or no experience trading stocks.

In fact every person I hired for my trading company had to pass this test or I simply wouldn't hire them.

You probably think I'm really crazy by now, but stick with me here.

Almost every successful trader I've coached started out with little or no stock market experience. (I'll tell you why in a moment)

And they began by learning the same basic principles you'll find in this FREE special report I want to give you today.

It is the very first step that can send you on your way to financial self-empowerment.

Claim your very own copy! Go here now.

If you have little or no stock market experience this is for you!

Don't Ever Let Them Tell You That You Can't

The stock market is one of the major money-making machines of all time. It's made more "Millionaires' Next Door" then you can shake a stick at.

Bust sadly most "Average Joes" feel it can never happen for them. That it's "others" who make all the money on Wall Street. They feel they don't have the education, smarts, or technical background needed to trade stocks successfully.

I'm here to tell you that it absolutely CAN happen. And it can happen for you—and sooner than you think.

And the less experience you have trading stocks, the better.

In the few minutes it takes to read this special report you'll discover the same basic principles and strategies I've used that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life.

It doesn't matter if we are in an up market, down market, or sideways market.

If you follow my simple plan, it's possible for you to find success—and wealth—in the stock market.

Even, if you start out knowing absolutely nothing about trading—like the two "Average Joe's" turned multi-millionaires that you are about to meet.

Get your very own copy for yourself right now. It absolutely FREE and you can access it online in the next two minutes!

Sincerely,


Adam Mesh

P.S. My closely guarded secrets to massive stock market wealth are detailed in this step-by-step guide. They're the same principles I've used to go from "Average Joe" to multi-millionaire.

You see I've already made more money then I will ever need. But I am so fed up with Wall Street jerks and their silly games, that I want you to take these secrets and use them to capture your own life changing wealth without their "help." So get your own copy right now. Click here.

Reviews: HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS TO GET RID OF A CHRONIC SINUS INFECTION?

HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE ANTIBIOTICS TO GET RID OF A CHRONIC SINUS INFECTION?

Question by Timen M:
How lengthy really should it take antibiotics to get rid of a chronic sinus infection?

I’ve had post-nasal drip for four months and it’s not due to allergies (I got tested), so my medical doctor prescribed me antibiotics and Prednisone. I have been on the antibiotics for three days and I have not noticed considerably of a distinction in my symptoms.

My doctor has given my 10 days really worth of antibiotics and Prednisone.


——————————————

Answer by Spookymom
Then you will need to take the antibiotic for the full 10 day regimen, especially if you have an infection. If you do not, then you could possibly turn the bacteria that is creating you ill into a resistent bacteria. What this signifies is that, if you do not get all of the little buggers, the ones that stay can come back stronger and more virulent. If by tomorrow afternoon you do not begin off feeling a small much better, you do require to call you doctor and let him or her know. Depending upon the antibiotic and the bacteria it is attempting to support you fight, the speed in which it works might be a small slower. Also, watch what you eat whilst you are on the antibiotic as some foods will interfere with the functionality of the medication for instance, something as simple as cow’s milk can delay the action of Tetracycline. Some doctors aren’t up on what can and cannot be eaten with certain antibiotics, so you could wish to ask your pharmacist on that one do not count on the world wide web for all of the answers, call your pharmacist on the phone.

I hope this helps and get much superior genuine soon. :)

[0]planning to market a non-truck diesel vehicle in the U.S. ��� the Chevy
Cruze. Estimated MPG for the automatic transmission version is in the mid
40s, which is better than the only other small diesel sedan sold in the
U.S. (the Volkswagen Jetta), and slightly better than their gasoline
powered 'Eco' model... I'd like to know what the MPG on the 6-speed

[0]sajjadG writes "After experimenting on 24 adults, a research team at
the University of California, Berkeley has determined that viewing
content on a stereo 3D display [1]hurts your eyes and your brain. This
can supposedly cause visual discomfort, fatigue, and headaches According
to the article, 3D content viewed over a short distance (like with
desktops and smartphones) is more visually uncomfortable when the stereo
content is placed in front of the screen. In a movie theater, it's the
opposite: Stereo content that is placed behind the screen causes more
discomfort than scenes that jump out at you. With the explosion of
3D-capable gadgetry such as televisions and mobile phones, understanding
just what this kind of technology is doing to our bodies may help us
better use it in the future. The only problem is that technology tends to
far outpace research, and until we get a better handle on its effects,
we're more or less walking blindly into a 3D world."

gerddie writes "Two teams of astronomers have discovered the [0]largest
and farthest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe. The water,
equivalent to 140 trillion times all the water in the world's ocean,
surrounds a huge, feeding black hole, called a quasar, more than 12
billion light-years away. One team, lead by Matt Bradford, made their
observations starting in 2008, using an instrument called 'Z-Spec' at the
California Institute of Technology's Submillimeter Observatory, a 33-foot
(10-meter) telescope near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Follow-up
observations were made with the Combined Array for Research in
Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (CARMA), an array of radio dishes in the Inyo
Mountains of Southern California. The second group led, by Dariusz
Lisused, used the Plateau de Bure Interferometer in the French Alps to
find water. In 2010, this team serendipitously detected water in APM
8279+5255, observing one spectral signature. Bradford's team was able to
get more information about the water, including its enormous mass,
because they detected several spectral signatures of the water."

[0]MojoKid writes "We all know that today's flat-screen TVs weigh far
less than old-style CRTs, or they wouldn't be able to hang on the wall.
New research from the Consumer Electronics Association finds that this
translates into a [1]massive savings of electronics waste. The report
found that today's flat screen TVs are 82% lighter and 75% smaller than
cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs. In other words, 40- to 70-inch flat-panel TVs
weigh 34% less than 13- to 36-inch CRT TVs. This reduction in materials
has a staggering downstream effect. The report claimed that an old
36-inch CRT TV generated about the same amount of electronics waste as
5,080 cell phones. However, today's 70-inch flat-screen TV generate the
equivalent of just 953 cell phones."

Oracle's expert [1]'overreached' in concluding that Google owed up to
$6.1 billion in damages for alleged infringement of Oracle's Java
patents, U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup said Friday in a sternly
written order. The 'starting point' for Oracle's damages claim should be
$100 million, adjusted up and down for various factors, he said. At the
same time, Google was wrong to assert that its advertising revenue is not
related to the value of Android and should therefore not be a part of
Oracle's damages, the judge wrote. He also warned Google, 'there is a
substantial possibility that a permanent injunction will be granted' if
it is found guilty of infringement."

presenting Intellectual Ventures both as a patent troll firm and a
legitimate business that allows helpless inventors to monetize patents.
It is stipulated that Intellectual Ventures does not in fact sue anyone.
It is also alleged that Intellectual Ventures creates many shell

compared to a Mafia protection racket that may never actually burn down a

was launched in August. The Air Force Space Command and the contractor,
Lockheed Martin, have devised a work-around plan using the remaining
propulsion systems ��� [2]reaction engine assemblies and electric [3]Hall
Current Thrusters drawing off of onboard fuel���to slowly raise the perigee
of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite until it reaches its
intended orbit 22,300 miles over the Earth in October, but the GAO says
that the $12.9 billion satellite system [4]incurred at least $250 million
in extra costs and a two-year delay because of quality problems due to
poor workmanship, undocumented and untested manufacturing processes, poor
control of those processes and materials and failure to prevent
contamination, poor part design, design complexity, and an inattention to
manufacturing risks. John Pike of Globalsecurity.org, which monitors
defense issues, says the two-year delay is a bigger problem than the
extra expense. 'You've got a lot of other things depending on the
launch,' says Pike, including ground-based weapons."
