SvenskMandée skriver: februari 1, 2012 kl. 20:38</a>Mini Problemen inom religion är inte religiösa problem, det är kulturella problem. Låt oss anta att prästerna inför en modifiering av lagen så att man kan konvertera in till religionen och därmed kan vi gifta oss med ursprungliga icke-mandéer. Tror du verkligen att våra familjer och det mandéeska samfundet accepterar dessa nykonvertrade som att de vore våra egna?Vi står inför kulturella problem, inte religiösa. Dessa kulturella problem har fått jäsa i hundratals år och utgör nu en stomme av vår tradition, som många av oss beblandar med religionen. Givetvis kommer våra familjer inte accepter att man gifter sig med en nykonverterad. Familjens rykte och prestige står ju på spel. Våra familjer kommer förmodligen att acceptera de smutsigaste mandéerna för en nykonverterad mandée.Även idag, då två mandéer ska förlova sig, är det inte någon problemfri process. Din partners familj ska utvärderas, deras status, yrken, utbildning osv. just för att du inte ska gifta in dig i en dålig släkt. Med dessa kulturella värderingar kommer man knappast att acceptera nykonverterade mandéer, oavsett hur mycket prästerna öppnar upp.Jag vill jämföra den sociala statusen hos mandéer med kastsystemen i Inden. Man tog bort kastsystemen och gjorde även de olagliga, men än idag lever dessa kastsystem kvar och pojkar och flickor får sätta sitt liv för att de förälskar sig i någon från fel kast.För att bekämpa dessa problem måste vi först kunna identifiera dess ursprung. Vårt mål bör inte vara att få igenom enstaka religiösa ändringar även om det givetvis är ett måste. Vårt mål bör att i framtiden, då menar jag flera decennium framåt, kunna radera dessa kulturella traditioner som grott under flera hundra år.Vad vi än gör idag, vilka lagar vi än ändar idag kommer det inte bli accepterad att gifta sig av någon icke-mandée. Vi kan dock snabba upp processen för att eliminera detta kulturella tänkande, så att våra barnbarn eller kanske t.o.m deras barnbarn kan gifta sig med vem de vill, utan att behöva bekymra sig för sin religion.Vi lever i Sverige. Här regerar media. Genom att tillsammans via denna blogg ta fram ett budskap anser jag att vi anonymt bör berätta vår historia för någon stor tidning. Förhoppningsvis kan detta öppna upp den kulturella spärren bland vår trångsynta generation, som är vårt absolut största hinder. Svara</a>

The simple answer is Freedom of Choice. First of all you must understand that there is a great deal of fraud involved with Government run Medicare. Scam artists regularly milk Medicare out of BILLIONS of dollars. Private insurance companies are out to make a profit and therefore investigate the claims much better.It should also be noted that Medicare has approx $1100 deductible each year for hospital coverage and $162 per year for Outpatient deductible. After that the member is responsible for 20% co-insurance. Add to that the fact that there is no routine dental coverage, no routine vision coverage and no prescription drug coverage.Private plans are requires by law to follow federal guidelines that either meet or exceed original Medicare coverage. Most of them far exceed these guidelines. Many plans offer dental, vision part d coverage and even health and wellness, transportation and/or fitness classes (health club memberships)The private insurance companies receive a set monthly per member fee as determined by our federal government and not a percentage. If this amount is less than the cost of care for a certain individual the insurance company is liable to pay with no additional reimbursement.Insurance is actually defined as pure-risk but closely monitored by underwriters. They have an idea of what health care costs but there are so many variables that there is no clear cut number that can actually be obtained. It is all based upon estimates.Private insurance competes for more business and thus offers additional benefits and lower co-payments in order to entice more people to join their plan. We can all keep blaming the big bad insurance companies or give the reigns over to the government who will dictate what we deserve and what they feel we need. What a novel idea. Our government thinks they are more intelligent than we are and has decided that we are too stupid to decide what is best for ourselves.With all of that being said. Everyone still has a choice to have original Medicare or choose a private plan. Medicare advantage is growing at an incredible pace and there are over 11 million seniors and growing who have made this choice. I will side with Seniors on this one. They know what works because they use these programs every day. Not everyone will ever have the same opinion but the overwhelming majority of seniors will tell you &#8220;quit screwing with my Medicare&#8221; They like what they have

Every state will be slightly different, but I&#8217;ll give you the proverbial swine slap across the face about why Medicare is generally the worst thing invented by modern liberalism in this nation, in only ONE word: Access.In my state, there are 1,127 primary care Medical Doctors, and 130 Osteopaths in family practice. That&#8217;s 1,257 doctors that handle routine care (non-emergency care, not otherwise in a named specialty).Of that 1,257, less than 11% accept Medicare assignment. CMS provides these figures, so my point is irrefutable. As others have noted, Medicare pays a fraction of an already deep discounted rate that is substantially below what providers call &#8220;usual and customary&#8221; (a fancy phrase for &#8220;retail prices&#8221;).When a doctor refuses to sign up for Medicare assignment, they still get paid for treating Medicare patients, but they get EVEN LESS than the already bottom dollar (read: guaranteed loss) reimbursements of the doctors that willingly accept Medicare assignment. This is not my opinion. This is verifiable, irrefutable fact, and the source is CMS. Nobody knows better how bad Medicare is than Medicare itself.Of the several hundred doctors I advise in my practice, more than 95% go out of their way to refuse Medicare patients. Some go as far as sending out birthday letters prior to age 65 politely asking the patient to find another doctor (if you schedule an appointment after age 65, they aren&#8217;t always so polite &#8212; some instruct their staff to refer Medicare patients to CMS for the very short &#8220;list&#8221; of doctors willing to work for the absolute lowest wage a doctor can possibly earn).What this means to you is this: More than 89% of primary care doctors do NOT want Medicare patients, because they are guaranteed to lose money on those patients.What this also means to you is this: Private insurance subsidizes Medicare in an &#8220;off the books&#8221; fashion, via cost-shifting. Take away private insurance, and not only would Medicare go broke virtually overnight, providers would vanish faster than a modern liberal can fail at math (and they fail 100% of the time faster than any other group).Doctors aren&#8217;t going to work for free. Neither will nurses, and other support staff (and you can&#8217;t force them outside of a chattel slavery system of forced labor). They will all seek other ways to earn a living. This will lower access even further from the abysmal point it is now, and lower access ALWAYS equals higher costs, lower quality, and more early deaths among those modern liberals who failed at math so fast.Other points of interest: Largest and fastest growing form of crime in the USA is identity theft. Among that large group of crimes, the single fastest growing aspect is medical Identity theft. A Medicare card has a street value of $500 to $700 &#8212; ten times that of a stolen credit or debit card.The second most profitable crime in America today? Medicare fraud. The source for that is the same government that built the failed collectivist system. The smart criminals are leaving the drug trade and turning to Medicare fraud. The numbers are staggering. A mid-level drug trafficker might make $300,000 a year, taking extraordinary risks. The same crook can make $30,000,000 stealing from Medicare, and never get shot at.Talent and capital go where it is rewarded, and stay where it is well treated. This axiom applies to the talent that goes into medicine, and it also applies to talent when it comes to criminals seeking to profit from the system that has ZERO financial incentive to fight fraud (ONLY a for-profit enterprise will root out the thieves, and find ways to detect them before they cause real damage &#8212; the government just asks for more funding to replace what was stolen).
