This post is to share some information and hopefully inspire and motivate.
My question is what are you going to do for your welfare and well being?
For your sisters and brothers welfare and issues. Your cousins and aunts.
There is no longer a need to march. We can no longer sit back and watch.
From our decisions and purchases we can get the respect and programs we need to help our communities.
Voting with your dollars speak louder than any spokesperson.
All those who have Aetna have to do is threaten or state
that when open enrollment period comes
Say you will be switching providers based their non support for American health care issues.
American issues are our issues.
American wars are our wars.
We don’t have a country. We don't have a chamber of commerce.
We haven't built these things since 1865 nor since we lost them
in the early part of the 1900's.
We were born here. Own little or nothing here and get no respect here.
We do not have an African American Consulate like every other person of another race.
America gives money our tax dollars to the consulates and the consulates give their people the money to their people here to help them secure their place in this land.
Their people open up all these businesses and malls we see in our surrounding communities.
America is a welfare system and we are constantly pointed at for the small portions we need or get.
Those same countries of all others origin get extra money so their people can pay for education. It’s a dirty game.
We don’t have a chance or an opportunity since we are in this country that won’t respect us, give us our due or just stop hindering us in our progress we do make. How many Black owned banks are left? There are no longer black townships. There was once a Black Wall Street. All crushed early in the first part of the 19th century.
Buy from X because Y has practices we do not agree with.
In a block fashion like. We all vote. We do that as a block.
Our vote is counted before the election...and not courted.
Because we are known to vote 98% Democrat.
So the Democrats have gotten complacent on us.
We have in the past and they believe we will remain committed.
They will forever ignore us as long as we are predictable.
I read the paper and the news needs to be about us in a positive moving way. Stating how we are voicing our needs and concerns.
Done correctly, done immediately before November’s Election.
Some sane justice can and will begin to happen and take place.
I mean a make em sit up and pay attention type of message.
I read how the President is constantly challenged. On every issue and ground.
I get calls since the election is in November.
I ask the caller, how did your candidate vote on the health care bill?
I will say to them I will be going online to check their voting record, the caller stumbles for answers, and really don’t know or care how their candidate voted for this President’s agenda’s.
The health care bill had more contained in it than health care. There was education funding in the bill. Considerable amounts to Historically Black Colleges.
In the paper I have it states that over 500,000 children will be without coverage.

I am fortunate to have their competition Kaiser that has been hurting them for years.
Managed care health providers like Kaiser Permanente came about to provide inexpensive care for more people. They have been steadily eating away at Aetna's subscriber base because it cannot compete with them on cost.

Major insurers to drop child policies ahead of coverage mandate
I say shame on him.
I am sure there are some Republicans running as Democrats. You know the wolf in sheep’s clothing trick.
This House Representative of Congress voted against the bill. Then he has the nerve to say he is surprised that the challenge is on.

Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna Inc. and others will halt new child-only policies in California, Illinois, Florida, Connecticut and elsewhere as early as Thursday when provisions of the nation's new healthcare law take effect, including a requirement that insurers cover children under age 19 regardless of their health histories.
I am fortunate I don’t have to use the listed insurers below.Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna Inc. and others say they will make the move as soon as Thursday when parts of the new healthcare law take effect. They cite potentially huge and unexpected costs for insuring children.
By Duke Helfand, Los Angeles Times
Major health insurance companies in California and other states have decided to stop selling policies for children rather than comply with a new federal healthcare law that bars them from rejecting youngsters with preexisting medical conditions.
Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna Inc. and others will halt new child-only policies in California, Illinois, Florida, Connecticut and elsewhere as early as Thursday when provisions of the nation's new healthcare law take effect, including a requirement that insurers cover children under age 19 regardless of their health histories.
The action will apply only to new coverage sought for children and not to existing child-only plans, family policies or insurance provided to youngsters through their parents' employers. An estimated 80,000 California children currently without insurance — and as many as 500,000 nationwide — would be affected, according to experts.

I am concerned that many African Americans are a major portion of the half million that will not have benefits, if the insurers follow thru with their actions.“ Health insurance giant Aetna is planning to force up to 650,000 clients to drop their coverage next year as it seeks to raise additional revenue to meet profit expectations.
In a third-quarter earnings conference call in late October, officials at Aetna announced that in an effort to improve on a less-than-anticipated profit margin in 2009, they would be raising prices on their consumers in 2010. “

Then this article where a Democrat didn’t vote for the bill.“ Just days away from the implementation of new rules that will prevent insurers from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions, numerous major insurers have opted to end the sale of child-only policies.
Anthem Blue Cross and associate WellPoint, Aetna Inc., Cigna Inc., CoventryOne and others have been making under-the-radar announcements about their child health offerings in recent days, drawing sharp criticism from Democrats and progressive activists who championed the president's health care reform agenda.”
I say shame on him.

I read of the Hispanic community. They are marching for every right they can march about and they are no joke. They get their due!Reports the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
As key provisions of the federal health overhaul take effect today, lawmakers and health care advocates are expressing outrage over a plan by some insurers to stop selling child-only policies.
Health plans including Aetna Inc. and Cigna Inc. will no longer sell some child-only policies because they say it will be too costly to comply with the new federal requirements. They worry parents will buy insurance only after their children become sick, increasing the pool of patients who need costly care. The law calls for insurers to cover people younger than 19 under their parents’ policy regardless of their health.“I don’t want to look like I’m gloating, but this is exactly what some of the concerns were before the bill passed,” said U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire of McCandless, a Democrat and former UPMC executive who voted against the legislation. “It’s not a surprise, and I’m very disappointed.”
Highmark Inc., the largest insurer in Western Pennsylvania, said the health law is prompting an assessment of some of its child-only policies. Spokesman Aaron Billger said that even if those plans are scaled back, Highmark will continue to offer coverage to anyone with pre-existing conditions through other products with child-only lines.
