If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave. — John Adams

SOS: Speaking of Seniors – Correcting Hospital Bills

April 17, 2012   ·   By   ·   0 Comments

On April 16, 2012, a client brought some papers and a bill problem to me to help solve. The client is an elderly woman from Cedar Lake, Indiana.

With our client present, I phoned her Medicare supplement insurance company to learn what it knew of the bill. It had already paid the bill. In fact, the insurance company gave me the check number, the date the check was made and sent, and the date that the check was cashed by the hospital that got the payment.

Next, with the client present, I phoned the billing department of the hospital. Our client gave permission for me to speak in her behalf. I asked the hospital representative to check the file for our client’s account. Then, I recited the facts that the hospital sent another bill to our client almost a month after it had received payment by check from our client’s insurance company.

The hospital representative admitted that I was correct. She promised to correct the problem and cancel the erroneous and wrongful bill to our client.

The help that I gave to our client was FREE OF CHARGE. The owners and managers of this insurance agency really do care about the senior citizen clients that we serve. Does your insurance agent give this high level of service to the senior citizens that you know? If not, why not?

‘Narcissist-in-Chief’ humiliates himself, yet again

Dr. Theo

When I saw the photo on The Drudge Report my reaction was the same as almost any other current or former member of the Armed Services—disgust. It reminded me of the Clintons who used uniformed military officers as servers to pass drinks and hors d'oeuvres at one of their White House gatherings.

Kirkeby Mailer in the Rapid City Mayoral Race

Bob Ellis

This mailer went out yesterday regarding the Rapid City mayoral race. We have an establishment "Gov. Daugaard is our supreme being" RINO Mark Kirkeby running against incumbent Mayor Sam Kooiker. Rapid City voters know what they're getting with Kooiker, since he has served them for years on the city council and now for one term as mayor. The voters also deserve to know what they would be getting with Mark Kirkeby.

Liberal Hijacking of the National Conversation

Bob Ellis

This video of Glenn Beck does some jumping around, but there is one overriding theme: the hijacking of the national conversation by the morally bankrupt Left. Please take the time to watch this, and then ask yourself some tough questions, including: "Have I been taken in by any of this? Have I let them silence me? Have I let them intimidate me from standing up for what is right?" If you don't like the answers you come up with, what are you going to do about it?

Abortion? Right move is crisis counseling, birth

Star Parker

According to pro-abortion reasoning, poor women -- desperate because of an unwanted pregnancy, pressed because regulations and costs make abortion difficult to get -- turn to sleazebag doctors who will do it cheaply, with no regard for the woman, the law or safety. But it is ironic that those who call themselves "pro-choice" argue that the only alternatives facing low-income women are unsafe abortions done by sleazebags or government-subsidized abortions. There is another choice, but those who call themselves don't want women, particularly poor women, to consider it. This option is called birth.

Rep. Kelly Rakes IRS Officials Over the Coals

Bob Ellis

This is a very interesting and telling interview from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) of IRS Commissioner Steven Miller over the Obama Administration scandal involving IRS harassment of Tea Party and other conservative groups. I don't know why Kelly isn't trying to extend an olive branch. Why isn't he trying to find common ground? Why isn't he trying to persuade this guy to see things his way? Why is he being so mean?

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964
