Retraction........
Turns out the allegations against Jerry has been proven false. He presented all of the evidence and facts on their blog.
http://www.readthetruthnow.blogspot.com/
So I am retracting my beliefs that Jerry was guilty of wrong doing.
If you read the church letter that they have posted on their March 3rd posting, the letter eerily resembles in wordings much like what an Elder or even a staff member of the Jehovah's Witnesses would say. Jerry and his wife and his famiy members who stood by with Jerry are "shunned" (liken to be disfellowshipped). I am shocked that this church that I used to go to many years ago (before I moved to the North Central part of Indiana whereas it's too far for me to make the drive for the Sunday services) would treat their members in this way. This is NOT the Christ like love that I came to know prior before I left. Everything there has changed and is not the same church that I once knew. I am very disappointed in how they handled in these matters and is not in accordance to Matthew 18: 15-17 in any way, shape and form.
A polygraph test was conducted and he provided a 15 page document to prove that he was truthful when he denied the allegations that was made against him.
So I apologize that I should have waited until all the facts was laid out FIRST before opening my big mouth. I conducted a "gossip" behavior w/o knowing the facts firsthand. I am ashamed of my behavior. So I wanted to update this post to clear my conscience of my mistake.

I am looking into it, the doctor that my wife is currently with doesn't accept this type of plans that HIP offers. So I'm still looking into other doctors that may accept the HIP plan.

But you do own a body, and it will break down.
Well of course, everything breaks down, biological or man-made. Does that mean we will have to force every single biological being on this planet to get health insurance?
Insurance Man: Hey, you're a biological living being, by law you must purchase health insurance!
Lion: ROAR! GULP! BURP!
Hey, whattaya know, they got a cartoon on that already!

An Obama administration official did not respond to a request for comment on AT&T's announcement but the White House in the past has suggested that companies are exaggerating the impact of the loss because they oppose the new law.
Now here's the thing, it's not gonna matter whether or not they are exaggerating the impact because of the new law, they're gonna lay off people anyway. Expect a massive layoff in the coming 4 years unless somehow the new law gets repealed.
Loopholes that I am reading are being looked into and I am reading that hiring Temps is looking good and hiring contractors is also looking good. They don't have to pay them benefits. In some states, Temps can be employed for 90 days before they rotate them for a new set of Temps. Some states have laws that if you retain an employee for more than 90 days based on a number of employees they have, they have to offer choice benefits, but employees don't necessarly have to accept them.

AT&T Joins Growing List of Firms That Say Health Care Law Will Cut Into Their Profits
AT&T is the latest and biggest company to announce the costly impact that the health care overhaul will have on its bottom line.
AT&T President and CEO Randall Stephenson, delivers a keynote speech during the CTIA wireless show, Tuesday, March 23, 2010, in Las Vegas.(AP)
AT&T said Friday that it is preparing for President Obama's health care overhaul to cost the telecommunications giant an additional $1 billion in expenses in the first quarter, possibly forcing the company to cut benefits it offers to current and retired workers.
AT&T is the latest and biggest company to account for the financial impact that the health care overhaul will have on its bottom line. It said the tax ramifications related to the legislation that Obama signed Tuesday will force it to take a non-cash charge -- an expense that does not require cash to be paid out but has to be charged against the company's earnings.
Earlier this week, AK Steel Corp., Caterpillar, Deere and Valero Energy announced similar accounting charges, saying the health care law will raise their expenses. On Friday, 3M said it will also take a charge of $85 million to $90 million.
But AT&T's charge is the largest disclosed so far. The other five's combined charges are less than half of the $1 billion that AT&T is planning. And the $1 billion is a third of AT&T's most recent quarterly profit. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the company earned $3 billion on revenue of $30.9 billion.
The sweeping health care legislation that Obama signed into law Tuesday requires companies of a certain size to provide health care coverage to their workers in an effort to expand insurance to some 32 million Americans.
Taxes on some companies are being raised to help defray the cost of the legislation.
AT&T said Friday that the charge reflects changes to how Medicare subsidies are taxed. Companies say the health care overhaul will require them to start paying taxes next year on a subsidy they receive for retiree drug coverage.
Business organizations, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have slammed the new law, arguing it will hurt companies by adding new costs and additional tax burdens.
Chamber spokesman Blair Latoff said Friday in an e-mail that altering the tax law "will have a negative impact" on companies' cash flows, particularly in the first year of the law's enactment.
Latoff added, "the government will quickly find out that by raising the costs for employers to provide retiree drug plans, they are incenting employers to drop these plans and send their employees to the Medicare program; in other words, the government will no longer pay a portion of their costs…it will pay all of their costs."
Karl Rove, a senior aide to former President Bush and a Fox News contributor, also predicted that more companies will drop their retiree drug plans and "put the entire cost on the federal taxpayer."
"There's no incentive any longer for them to continue to have a cordial relationship with their retirees by continuing to pay most of the cost of their drugs," he told Fox News.
An Obama administration official did not respond to a request for comment on AT&T's announcement but the White House in the past has suggested that companies are exaggerating the impact of the loss because they oppose the new law.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday that the tax law closed a loophole.
Under the 2003 Medicare prescription drug program, companies that provide prescription drug benefits for retirees have been able to receive subsidies covering 28 percent of eligible costs. But they could deduct the entire amount they spent on these drug benefits -- including the subsidies -- from their taxable income.
The new law allows companies to only deduct the 72 percent they spent.
The White House and Democratic leaders in Congress argue that under the old law, companies were in effect getting two deductions, not one, because they were able to deduct from the taxes they pay each year the amount of the subsidy the government was giving these companies to help them out.
AT&T also said Friday that it is looking into changing the health care benefits it offers because of the new law. Analysts say retirees could lose the prescription drug coverage provided by their former employers as a result of the overhaul.
Changes to benefits are unlikely to take effect immediately. Rather, the issue would most likely come up as part of contract negotiations between the company and unions representing its employees and retirees. AT&T is the largest private employer of union workers in the U.S.
Candice Johnson, spokeswoman for the Communications Workers of America, which represents more than 160,000 AT&T workers, said these employees have contracts in place until 2012. An agreement covering retirees also runs through 2012.
AT&T rival Verizon Communications Inc. was among 10 companies that sent a letter to congressional leaders in December warning that their costs would increase with the health care changes. Verizon spokesman Peter Thonis said the company had no comment.

Why exactly is having health insurance a bad thing?
It's not, that's the thing. What's bad is like sticking a gun in your face and say "buy this insurance or else!". That's mandate.
The Auto Insurance law doesn't say you have to buy Auto Insurance regardless whether or not you own a car or not.
See the difference?

So you're opposed to the new health care plan? It wasn't clear from the first 50 threads you started on the topic.
I don't oppose health care, I oppose the mandate that requires you to have insurance for as long as your heart is still beating and breathing the air the same as everyone else.
Auto Insurance, you do have a CHOICE, you can forgo owning a car and take a bus, train, taxi and whatever method of transportation you so choose.
Health insurance on the other hand, you do NOT have a CHOICE, you are mandated to purchase health insurance. That's why it's unconstitutional because the madate takes away CHOICE.

Should the Pope resign?
by slimboyfat inquestions are being raised about whether pope benedict was personally involved in covering up a case of child sex abuse by a roman catholic priest.
documents seen by the new york times newspaper suggest that in the 1990s, long before he became pope, he failed to respond to letters about a us case.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8587082.stm.
that would prove the catholic church is capable of reform, no?
