a lot of their issues surround the workers having to leave early from family functions. My niece has to be at toys r us by 6pm to work till 2, then off for 8 hours, then back again for 8....this article doesn't really address that, it hits more of the shopper angle. She's looking forward to the paychecks, as a 19 year old student, but the fact that she has to leave immediately after dinner is the part that sucks.

I wondered about that as well. The financial waiver per medicare is specific to the services received, and if the waiver is not complete or correct, the provider has to write-it off.
Based on the above story as well, I'm thinking that she may have had Part A only...which if that was the case, the hospital should have figured that out right away to help themselves. Makes me frustrated, because it's not that hard to verify and check. Argh!

here's a link to the original story http://www.komonews.com/news/19339104.html

at lot of the procedures were considered cosmetic, but some of the big ones were covered....the fact is that even with insurance, it still doesn't cover everything and as a checker...there's not much to live on. ;-)

France wants to get upset about this? Saying this policy is outrageous? really?
How about the fact that France has released the name of the victim, which in the US is against journalistic standards? It's goes both ways I guess...but that's how we do things here, and there every victim is exposed to being called a liar or worse...and obviously they didn't single him out with this process. Everyone needs to simmer down there.

I enjoy my time on my commute. I have about a 30-45 minute drive time depending on traffic. My coworkers and some of my family cannot understand this and why we haven't moved in the last 4 years since i started working there. My opinion is that this is my "me time" With my two kidlets, age 5 and 4, this is my time to listen to my music, my audio books, or just enjoy the beautiful area I live in. Taking the time to slow down, and having that time really helps me keep my sanity. ;-)
so yes, i understand the appeal of bopping along in the right lane.

i would agree with that. I was actually disappointed to see that article under the entertainment portion of the news, when it's actually pretty significant event/series of events that is happening in that country.

There's currently no food being shipped from Japan. The goods from that area were already here/on their way, were all packaged before the earthquake.
The FDA has already said that one Japan starts shipping again, they will be very stringent on the testing of those products...

and as a side note, our ports already have radiation detectors for every container that is moved. so there would be an alarm/concern raised if that happens.

You might want to comprehend some of the story as well. This has nothing do with him being a hip-hop artist, it has everything to do with the unrest in Haiti and the corruption with their government, especially since the catastrophic earthquake they suffered.
He is trying to support a democratic overhaul of Haiti, but he is being targeted because of it.

A Volvo is one of the safest cars out there. It also appears that all the kids in the vehicle were wearing their seatbelt, which is probably a huge reason none of them were seriously hurt. Luck for them all, wishes for a speedy recovery. :-)
