My problem is I sleep but I don't rest. I wake up after 8 hours still feeling like my brain has worked the whole night. I think my problem is I'm a belly sleeper and now that I am trying to sleep in a position that's good for the baby, my body can't adjust and it feels like I'm constantly moving, tossing turning.
What's on your mind?

(Thursday, January 9th) Final Score: Troy 98, Arkansas State 84 Jonesboro, AK (SportsNetwork.com) - Tevin Calhoun poured in a career-high 35 points to lift the Troy Trojans to a 98-84 win over the Arkansas State Red Wolves in a Sun Belt conference shootout at the ASU Convocation Center. Calhoun nailed 11-of-15 shots from the floor, including a 7-of-9 showing from beyond the arc for Troy (5-10, 1-2 Sun Belt), which snapped a two-game slide. Hunter Williams added 24 points, while hitting six shots from 3-point range and Antoine Myers tallied 20 points. Kirk Van Slyke (27 points) led the way for Arkansas State (9-5, 2-1), which had a four-game winning streak put to an end. Brandon Reed added 23 points and Melvin Johnson III tacked on 17. Troy went into halftime leading, 54-44, after hitting 57.6 percent from the floor, including 9-of-15 from beyond the arc, in the first half. Arkansas State shot 45.2 percent, but did hit 5-of-13 from 3-point distance. After the break the Trojans shot above 50 percent once again, which was enough to hold off the Red Wolves, who improved to 53.8 percent shooting themselves, but fell short from 3-point range (15-6). Arkansas State scored 25 points off of 17 Trojan turnovers. Troy had a 36-24 edge on the boards.

acedemics from the Univ of Wis. are weighing in with opinions
relating to Hmong shanenism and a possible defense. The concept of
a freedom of religion defense along with self defense might fly.
Most interesting will be the acedemic involvement in the case. With
the defendants family involvement with the CIA this could become a
most interesting case to follow. I would imagine we will see Hmong
shamanism will be linked to the strong hunting customs of these
peoples. That ties religion to hunting and surly a good defense
lawyer will tie racism to the mix. I would not like to be the

Locked in a re-election battle with downtown Councilman Steve Fulop, Jersey City Mayor Jerry Healy today seized on a quote delivered at last night's council caucus meeting by Ward F Councilwoman Diane Coleman, a running mate of Fulop's.
"I believe in Jersey City and am proud to run alongside a group of dedicated leaders who respect and look out for all residents," Healy said. "Steve Fulop knows that Councilwoman Coleman's belittling comments hurt the hard-working people of Ward F and he should call on her to apologize for these insensitive remarks."
The Jersey Journal reported that Coleman joked as the council discussed a federally funded job-training program.
According to the Journal, "Keith Davis, who runs a job-training program that works with the city, told the council that applicants with a criminal history are prohibited from applying for the program."
The Journal quoted Coleman saying in response, "So that means everybody in Ward F." She laughed after the remark, even as At-Large Councilwoman Viola Richardson objected. "No, it does not. No, it does not," Richardson said, according to the Journal.
Richardson is running on the Healy ticket.
Jermaine Robinson is also running with Healy as the mayor's Ward F candidate, in opposition to Coleman.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Postcards From London
by Alanah McGinley on 09/26/07 at 06:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
NHL.com's Shawn P. Roarke is in London and providing daily updates about his experiences and the upcoming games. From his Day #3 installment:
Wednesday, NHL.com took an abbreviated double-decker bus tour of London. But the company couldn't be beat as I joined the Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks and the Stanley Cup itself for a quick jaunt through the city.
We all climbed aboard a 30-year-old traditional red double-decker bus that is only used for special occasions. And, what could be more special than escorting the Ducks and the Stanley Cup on a sight-seeing tour?

The Agile Manifesto happens to be a unique document. I cannot find any equivalent document in whole of software engineering history. Why only software engineering, I cannot think of any equivalent in any field of engineering.
Think of how it was developed. In February, 2001, seventeen like-minded people got together and came up with the manifesto. They got together because all of them had a common goal … to break out of the rigidity imposed by the prevalent heavy-weight processes. Many of the members of that group had already proposed there own solutions, their own different light-weight process. These processes had little in common.
But, in less than a day they came to a common understanding.
They agreed on the term "Agile" … They drafted the "Manifesto" … They wrote down the twelve guiding principle behind the manifesto.
No committee was formed. No pre-work had been done. There was no prior "plan" to create a manifesto. There is no motivation to "sell" anything. It happened spontaneously.
Subsequently others have tried drafting manifesto for many other topic but non of them have been spontaneously and have never matched the universal appeal of the agile manifesto.
Once the manifesto was in place it slowly went viral. Today, everybody agrees that agile is the way to go.
What makes the manifesto so enduring?
Apart from useful advice explicitly stated in the manifesto, there is an unstated message which comes across clearly.
It provides the reader a sense of freedom.
It is protest against rigid and inflexible planning.
It urges the reader to break free of shackle imposed by processes.
It advocates trust and cooperation.
It begs you to think.
In short…
Manifesto reads like a declaration of independence
It is about the freedom to choose your own method of working … a process that works for you … your team … your project … your organization.
Is is about having the flexibility to make changes to how you work … keep those practices that work for you and reject those which do not work … adopt that which you think may work with the knowledge that you can discard it if it does not work.
Points to Ponder
Having said that the agile manifesto gives you the permission to reject the rigidity of the so called heavy-weight processes, does it mean that you should reject everything that is a part of heavy-weight process? Do you really think that there was no practice of any value to be found there?
Maybe some of those practices where designed for a specific situation where it worked well. Maybe the people who designed them where intelligent, experienced and knowledgeable software engineer. Maybe the practices became ineffective because they were lumped together and applied for all situations.
So, having earned the freedom to choose your practices, should you not look at some of them and evaluate it for suitability?

German government to foster e-cars
By the year 2020, the government hopes to see one million electric vehicles on Germany's roads. In order to catch up the backlog the German automotive industry has against its competitors in other countries, in particular Japan, the German federal research ministry plans to spend 200 million (about $282 million) in R&D. According to other sources, the spending will amount to 500 million.
The R&D program has two focus points: First, batteries for electric and hybrid cars. This is not entirely new; German research minister Annette Schavan has committed to intensifying the research on lithium ion batteries several times over the past months. In the announcement of Wednesday (August 19), she named an amount of 170 million for batteries and another 30 million for the charging infrastructure. Other ministries however are also involved in the plan and are expected to announce their own budgets soon.
The second focus point is the development of the infrastructure necessary to charge or exchange the batteries. "We have to rethink the car," Schavan said. "We need completely new vehicle concepts and an alternative refilling/recharging infrastructure."
A central point in the infrastructure concept is the link between electromobility and renewable energies. "Only the availability of renewable energies will make electric cars zero-emission vehicles," said the ministry of economics in a press release. With this statement, the officials indirectly endorse schemes under development in countries such as Denmark and Israel to use car batteries as energy storage pool when the vehicles are not in use.
Another element of the German plan is to offer financial incentives for the first 100.000 buyers of electric cars in the years through 2012. However, concrete figures were not announced.

Principal To Cut Jobs, End Medical Insurance Business | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and Weather | Local News
It has been removed.
Well, here is one about the Ocare Impact:
McDonald's Says It May Drop Health Plan - WSJ.com
Looks like all fast food will be in the same bucket.Quote:
Last week, a senior McDonald's official informed the Department of Health and Human Services that the restaurant chain's insurer won't meet a 2011 requirement to spend at least 80% to 85% of its premium revenue on medical care.
McDonald's and trade groups say the percentage, called a medical loss ratio, is unrealistic for mini-med plans because of high administrative costs owing to frequent worker turnover, combined with relatively low spending on claims.
Looks like they will not be hiring anyone soon. If the profits (even 1%) will not exist in medical insurance, the companies will leave that area.
After all, why risk a company/business when you have a 1% profit industrywide??? The govt will eventually own the industry as a single payer. Hope the govt then does not go bankrupt or otherwise their goes the medical bill payments.
Well sob, have a job interview there next week. Looks like I will be double thinking about taking it
Well, it your interview was with the health insurance division, I doubt it is still on. If it is elsewhere within the company ,why would this news matter? In fact, if they are getting rid of unprofitable business unit that is currently (or projected in the future) to drag the entire corporation down, wouldn't this generally be good news for those working in other parts of the company?
All I can say is wow. Did you even read the article, before you came to this conclusion?
What would Principal cutting their medical insurance DIVISION, have anything to do with their life division?
They are NOT cutting their medical coverage for employees, they are getting out of the medical insurance business.
I am talking from a cost benefit point of view.
Meaning if Principal cuts their health benefits from providing their own to assigning this duty to an outside vendor then the costs will go up for the employees of Principal.
So in short, the cost of benefits is going up for the employees and any new people coming on board will have to offset this cost to them by asking for more money per year.
No it is called looking at the bigger picture.

St. Louis lawmaker proposes ban on texting while driving for everyone
Missouri law currently bans drivers under 21 from texting while driving, but not those who are older. Democratic State Rep. Michele Kratky has introduced a bill that would change that.
Kratky says that looking down to send a text message is unsafe for drivers of all ages
"It's almost like having a blindfold on while you're driving," Kratky said. "And I don't think that's very safe for the citizens of the state of Missouri."
Kratky's bill, HB 394, would allow for hand free texting.
Only 11 states still allow at least some drivers to text and drive.

Mo. AG Koster sides with Gov. Nixon on tax cut
Thursday, 29 August 2013 14:45 Published in Local News(AP) Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is siding with Gov. Jay Nixon in determining that a vetoed tax cut bill could have applied retroactively.
At issue is a provision in the legislation that triggers an automatic half-percent reduction in Missouri's income tax if the federal government makes it easier for states to collect taxes on Internet retail sales. Koster released an analysis today that says the tax-rate reduction could be applied retroactively, entitling people to ask for refunds on their three previous years of taxes. That backs Nixon's assertion but is at odds with an analysis by the legislative research office.
Koster examined the issue at the request of House Speaker Tim Jones.
Jones wants to try to override Nixon's veto of the tax cut.
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Jay Bruce homered and had five RBIs and the Cincinnati Reds got a dominant effort from Homer Bailey to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-0 on Wednesday night and avoid a three-game sweep.
The Reds came out swinging a few hours after Brandon Phillips' expletive-filled tirade at a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter sparked by scrutiny of his .310 on-base percentage, and after manager Dusty Baker criticized his team for falling short while dropping four of five.
The Cardinals lead the NL Central by a half-game over Pittsburgh after losing for the third time in 12 games, and the Reds are 3 1/2 games back.
Bailey (9-10) capped a six-run first against Adam Wainwright (15-8) with the Reds' sixth hit and his first RBI of the season. He allowed five hits in 7 1-3 innings with seven strikeouts and is 4-0 in his past six starts.
The poor start was unusual for Wainwright, who matched his career worst with nine runs allowed and lasted two innings for his shortest outing of the year.
He had worked at least seven innings his previous eight starts and was coming off a complete game against the Braves.
Phillips singled his first two at-bats and struck out his next two trips while going 2 for 5.
The Reds also got RBIs from Ryan Ludwick and Todd Frazier in the first with another run scoring on a wild pitch. Zack Cozart got the first of his three hits when Wainwright failed to cover first.
Phillips singled and Joey Votto walked again to open the second, setting the table for Bruce's 26th homer on a 1-2 pitch. It's his third five-RBI game, one of them against the Cardinals in 2009.
Rookie Michael Wacha was a bright spot for St. Louis, following Wainwright with four scoreless innings and seven strikeouts.
Shortstop Pete Kozma was among four substitutes in the sixth with the Reds still up 9-0, going to left field in his first appearance as an outfielder since July 28, 2007, when he played right field for Class A Gulf Coast.
Chris Heisey put the Reds in double figures with his 10th homer off Fernando Salas in the ninth.
Notes: Votto entered just 3 for 23 with one RBI and one walk against Wainwright. ...The Reds have won three of the past 11 in the series. ... Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter, out all season with a nerve ailment, accompanied the team on its last trip to serve as a mentor after manager Mike Matheny said he "realized he could bring value." Matheny was hopeful the pitcher would make the next trip, too.
Manziel to sit half of A&M's opener against Rice
Wednesday, 28 August 2013 23:01 Published in Sports
HOUSTON (AP) -- Johnny Football's season will start a little late.
Johnny Manziel was suspended for the first half of Texas A&M's opening game against Rice on Saturday for what the school called an "inadvertent" violation of NCAA rules by signing autographs.
The penalty appears to have brought a quick end to an investigation that could have ruined the seventh-ranked Aggies' upcoming season.
The school issued a statement Wednesday saying it declared the Heisman Trophy winner ineligible and that the NCAA agreed to reinstate Manziel after he sits out the first half against the underdog Owls.
"I am proud of the way both Coach Sumlin and Johnny handled this situation, with integrity and honesty," Texas A&M Chancellor John Sharp said in the statement. "We all take the Aggie Code of Honor very seriously and there is no evidence that either the university or Johnny violated that code."
The quarterback was being investigated by the NCAA for allegedly accepting money for signing autographs for memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension. ESPN first reported the allegations against Manziel earlier this month.
According to the statement, Texas A&M and the NCAA "confirmed there is no evidence Manziel received money in exchange for autographs based on currently available information and statements by Manziel."
Conditions for reinstatement include Manziel discussing his actions with teammates and A&M revising how it educates student-athletes about signing autographs.
"Student-athletes are often asked for autographs from fans, but unfortunately, some individuals' sole motivation in seeking an autograph is for resale," said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs. "It is important that schools are cognizant and educate student-athletes about situations in which there is a strong likelihood that the autograph seeker plans to resell the items."
He likely will be replaced in the starting lineup by either junior Matt Joeckel or freshman Kenny Hill. Joeckel has thrown only 11 passes in his college career.
The news of Manziel's suspension was the talk of Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, with many questioning the length of the suspension. Former NFL and MLB star Deion Sanders was incredulous at the brevity of Manziel's suspension, after Dez Bryant was suspended for an entire season while at Oklahoma State after lying about having dinner with Sanders.
"Can we investigate the investigators? (at)DezBryant got suspended a season 4 lying about a dinner that wasnt a violation & Manziel gets a half," Sanders tweeted soon after the ruling was made public.
The decision also had a major impact in Las Vegas, where the odds of Manziel's chances of repeating as a Heisman winner and Texas A&M's chances of winning the national championship shifted dramatically on Wednesday. RJ Bell, the founder of sports betting web site Pregame.com, said that Manziel's chances of winning the Heisman jumped from 12/1 to 6/1 on Wednesday, and the team's shot at the title increased from 18/1 to 10/1.
The latest problem isn't the first time off-the-field trouble has put Manziel's career in jeopardy.
Manziel was arrested last summer after a bar fight near campus and charged with disorderly conduct, possession of the fake ID and failure to identify himself to police. It was an incident that put him in danger of being suspended from school and left him having to earn the starting job in fall camp.
Manziel admitted this June that he failed to identify himself to police following the altercation. As part of a plea deal, other charges against the 20-year-old, including disorderly conduct, were dismissed, and it looked like Manziel's trouble was behind him before the latest problems came to light.
Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy last season, setting numerous school and Southeastern Conference records while leading Texas A&M to an 11-2 mark and a victory over No. 1 Alabama in its first season in the SEC.
He followed that with a high-profile offseason of road trips to Las Vegas and the NBA Finals. Manziel got to meet Heat star LeBron James and rapper Drake, and he posted some Tweets that made headlines.
His biggest misstep, however, came during the summer when he departed early from a quarterback camp for high school players run by the Manning family in Louisiana. Manziel said it was a mutual decision after he overslept and missed meetings and activities.
Dat Nguyen, an All-America linebacker at Texas A&M in the 1990s and former assistant coach for the Aggies, lamented Manziel's mistakes, but noted what he's done for the program.
"I'm a little bit disappointed with what's going on down there," Nguyen said recently. "Going into the season I thought this would be the year for A&M to win a national championship and this has been a distraction. He made a bad decision and he's just got to move on ... but overall the guy has put A&M back on the map."
Former Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum, who is now a special adviser to Texas A&M's president, has watched Manziel's career with great interest and is looking forward to seeing how he'll follow up his incredible first season.
"This young man has been in a position that no one has ever been in," Slocum said on Wednesday before the suspension was announced. "He's been a freshman and a 20-year-old winner of the Heisman Trophy, and he's done some great things with that and he's had a few things I'm sure he'd like to have a do-over with. And if I were advising him, I might have said, `That's probably not in your best interests to do that or say that or be there,' but in terms of the upcoming season, I'm as anxious as anybody to see what happens and see what the results are."
Manziel was the main attraction at SEC Media Days, where he was peppered with questions but answered with the same cool and calm he often shows in the face of a pass rush.
"I don't feel like I've done anything that's catastrophic," Manziel said at the time. "Of course, I've made my mistakes. It's time to grow up."
The day before the Aggies reported for preseason practice, ESPN reported Manziel signed thousands of autographs for brokers in Texas, Florida and Connecticut, and cited unidentified sources who said Manziel was paid thousands for dollars for the signatures.
Manziel has been off-limits to the media since news broke of the NCAA investigation, but has been practicing with the Aggies.

Now that Barack Obama has been sworn in for a second term, the focus will again turn to Obamacare and health care exchanges. A key component of Obamacare, health care exchanges are to be set up by the states giving consumers a limited amount of options to purchase health care in their state. Those that traditionally cannot afford to purchase health care will be given tax credits. Additionally, the federal government will also help cover co-pays and deductibles that aren't covered by insurance. New taxes and a large fine for not having any health care coverage will allegedly be used to pay for the enormously expensive plan. In their continued efforts to protect their individual states from the ever-increasing interference of the federal government, governors across the nation have fought back against the Obamacare health care exchange mandate.
In South Carolina, Governor Nikki Haley is one of over 20 governors who have refused to set up state exchanges. Featured by Forbes, Haley seeks to focus on reforming the state's established health care system; as opposed to the Obama administration's plan to simply take it over. Haley explained her position recently in her State of the State address:
But let us ask a simple question. "Are taxpayers getting the most health for the money they spend on health care?" My answer is no – not by a long shot. We spend more money for health services per person than any nation on earth. Year after year we devote a larger and larger portion of our paychecks, our payrolls and our state and federal budgets to health care services. Maybe we wouldn't worry about all of this spending if our outcomes were better, but they aren't. The United States is falling behind the rest of the world in infant mortality and life expectancy – and here in South Carolina we have one of the lowest life expectancies and highest infant mortality rates in the U.S. With such high costs and such poor outcomes, why would we throw more money at the system without first demanding improved efficiency, quality, and accessibility? The Affordable Care Act, known as ObamaCare, says expand first and worry about the rest later. Connecticut expanded early under ObamaCare and just reported a $190 million Medicaid deficit – in spite of subjecting their citizens to a massive tax increase. California just raised taxes in part to cover their Medicaid deficit and yet needs $350 million more to pay for ObamaCare next year. That's not us. That's not South Carolina.
I spoke with Governor Haley about the state health care exchange mandate, Medicaid and South Carolina's response to federal government's plans. The following is part one of our discussion.
After a brief introduction, Governor Haley dove right in to the substance of the issue:
As to the issue of the exchange, Governor Haley reiterated her conviction that South Carolina will not play along, saying "What I can tell you from South Carolina's perspective is we are not accepting a state health exchange because after you look at it, all it is a bureaucratic program that tells you what to do, how to do it, and makes you pay for it; and doesn't in any way look out for the people of South Carolina that have issues like obesity and diabetes and prostate cancer. So then you go from that standpoint, so they try and throw a carrot and say, "Okay, well if you'll expand Medicaid, for every $1 you give we'll give you $9 back." What good is the $9 if we don't have the $1? And what good is expanding Medicaid on Washington, DC's terms, when they're only going to pull the rug out from under us and we're not going to be able to continue to pay for it. So, you know what we're trying to do is really look at health care."
She went on to explain the current state of health care in South Carolina, saying "We started with one of the lowest rates of insured children in the country and now South Carolina is recognized for leading edge strategies to start to cover kids. We started with mental health and addictive disorder programs that have been really cut, we've reinvested in both of those. We didn't have a lot of accountability in our Medicaid program. Now we have really gone after getting the most quality of health for the cost that we're spending. The focus that our country needs to have on health care doesn't need to be on cost as much as it needs to be on outcomes, because we as a country, we're falling behind on infant mortality, we're falling behind on life expectancy and money's not going to fix that problem. What will fix that problem is when we start demanding that we have efficiency, quality and accessibility and that's basically what South Carolina wants to do. So while Obamacare says, you know, go ahead and expand this and we'll deal with it later, well that's what Washington, DC has done for years and that's why we're in the mess we're in. South Carolina is not going to do that. What we are doing is we're saying we're going to start to improve health care and we're not just complaining about Obamacare, we are actually doing things."
By refusing federal exchanges and also declining to set up a state exchange, South Carolina will be in violation of Obamacare requirements. In part two of my interview, Governor Haley and I discussed the consequences of this and how she intends to protect her state's rights in the face of the federal government's heavy hand.
FreedomWorks activists across Georgia celebrate as the bill moves to the State Senate
Washington, DC- FreedomWorks activists across the state of Georgia celebrate this week after the Georgia State House passed a bill that effectively nullifies ObamaCare. The bill, H.B. 707 passed with an overwhelming 115-59 majority and travels now to the State Senate, where a solid Republican majority should be able to pass the bill.
The legislation effectively nullifies ObamaCare by stopping state and local officials from assisting in the law's implementation in any way. This would stop Medicaid expansion in the state, stop the health insurance exchange, and would make it very difficult for the Obama Administration to force Georgians into the one-size-fits-all federal program.
FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented, "The passage of this ObamaCare nullification bill would not have been successful without the relentless efforts of grassroots activists across Georgia. They're the ones that insisted their legislators listen and pass this bill. If and when the bill passes the State Senate, Georgia will be a model for other states who want to effectively push back against the federal health care takeover."
FreedomWorks joined the efforts of grassroots groups like Georgians for Healthcare Freedom, setting up action alerts that drove hundreds of individual calls to legislators demanding they take a stand against ObamaCare.

Twenty-seven Democrats vote to delay the individual mandate, up by nearly a quarter from last year
Washington, DC- A record-high, twenty-seven House Democrats voted yes on H.R. 4118, legislation that would delay the ObamaCare individual mandate for one year. The total number of Democrats voting to delay the mandate is up by five, nearly 25 percent, compared to the same policy vote last year.
"As we predicted, Democrats are beginning to run for political cover as Americans continue to experience the ObamaCare enrollment disaster," commented Matt Kibbe, President of FreedomWorks. "This is a sign of many things to come in this election cycle. The failures of the big-government Obama Agenda, combined with an anti-incumbent climate nationwide, have created a perfect storm for some change-ups in Congress and the Democrats know it."
FreedomWorks issued a Key Vote in favor of the bill, which will count when calculating the FreedomWorks Economic Freedom Scorecard for 2014.

The Obama administration has unilaterally altered Obamacare again in a way that is wholly illegal, expending money from the Treasury without Congressional approval. Someone ought to pay dearly for this crime, but like all such actions in this administration, it is our children who will pay.
The South Carolina Senate is taking up an extraordinary bill this week, H 3101, that (with an amendment) would be a model for state resistance to ObamaCare. The underlying bill was in need of strengthening, so Senator Tom Davis has offered an amendment that would make the bill airtight. The bill would, for all intents and purposes, nullify ObamaCare in South Carolina, using a Supreme Court-approved procedure called "anti-commandeering".
The bill, with the vital Davis amendment, would:
Stop any state or local government official from cooperating in any way with the federal implementation of ObamaCare.
Prevent the above agencies from applying for or receiving any of the federal grant money under ObamaCare unless approved by the legislature, going so far as to prohibit each grant program by name.
Require the ObamaCare Navigators to register with the state and pass a background check (which is not required under the federal law).
Specifically prohibit the state from either accepting the Medicaid expansion or from establishing a state-run health insurance exchange under ObamaCare.
The Davis amendment has achieved strong support within the South Carolina Senate, and ought to be on its way for an easy passage. Unfortunately, a few Republican senators could be the only thing between South Carolinians and a historic declaration of health care freedom. No doubt one factor that has confused the issue for some of these senators is that the powerful South Carolina Chamber of Commerce has entered the fray - on the side of ObamaCare.
What is most disconcerting about the Chamber's involvement is that its self-declared mission is "to prevent anti-business legislation and regulation". Yet, this supposedly pro-business organization is working to save ObamaCare, a law which is putting business owners in a vice, forcing them to cut hours and workers and drastically raising their insurance premiums.
South Carolina citizens must stand up against corporate lobbyists and reluctant Republicans and demand that H 3101 be passed with the Davis amendment attached. SC residents can Take Action by clicking below:

Fewer and fewer doctors in the US are self-employed, and more employed by hospitals. That is a direct result of government policy, sharply accelerated by Obamacare. The trend will be damaging to American health care. It is still possible to reverse the decline, but powerful forces want it to continue.
A Foolish And Dangerous Paranoia
Doctors effectively can't own new hospitals any more. That's because the Big Hospital lobby convinced the leftists who designed Obamacare that physicans owning hospitals was a conflict of interest. That's right: according to that theory, the people who have devoted their lives to the study of medicine want to own hospitals so they can profit by withholding care, or by overcharging for it.
The trouble with that line of reasoning is that the non-physicians in charge of hospitals and insurance companies have no such conflict. Their incentives are to provide as little care as possible while charging as much as they can. Their desire to protect their personal reputations and adherence to ethical code are not as strong as for physicians.
If you could invent the kind of person to run a health care business, you would invent a physician.
To reverse this, repeal Obamacare.
The Costs
While half of all physicians currently work for independent practices, three of four doctors hired this year will go to work for hospitals, according to one study.
As Dr. Scott Gottlieb wrote last year, hospitals are on a buying binge:
Doctor practices are being acquired at a rapid clip. While some physicians are choosing to sell their practices to integrated delivery systems that are provider led, the majority of doctors are selling their practices to hospitals.
This should have everyone concerned. For one thing, there's ample evidence that provider productivity declines when doctors become salaried employees of hospitals. (Some selected research, analysis, and commentary of these trends can be found here:A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H)
In less urban areas, the hospital and high school can be the largest employers. That leads state and local governments to give them preferential treatment to preserve the jobs associated with them.
Dr. Jason Fodeman of the Galen Institute lays out the question. Will doctors working for hospitals lead to lower costs, or higher?
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) says that the trend toward hospital-employed doctors may drive up costs because care that was once billed as physician visits will be billed at higher hospital outpatient rates—even when they occur in the same location. In addition, many hospitals charge facility fees for visits with doctors in their system.
Explicit higher charges for seeing a physician in a hospital are one thing, but the real issue is the incentives doctors employed by hospitals face. As employees, they will be less efficient, subject to the bureaucratic pitfalls present in all organizations.
According to Dr. Keith Smith of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, Medicare and other insurance billing issues involve bigger legal hassles for the self-employed doctor. Self-employed physicians have to comply with Medicare and Medicaid regulations, if they accept those patients, and simply filling out the forms incorrectly can lead to criminal charges. Doctors employed by hospitals don't have that worry: their organization may have to pay a fine, but no one goes to jail.
But even if doctors don't take Medicare and Medicaid patients, Obamacare pushes on them more regulations. Medical practices also have the same issues as other small businesses, which are holding back hiring and changing because of the law.
As The American Interest notes, despite the Obamacare sales rhetoric of lowered costs, hospital bills will be going up:
On the surface, doctors taking on salaried jobs at hospitals might seem like good news for health care costs. One driver of health care inflation is the "fee for service" model, which gives doctors an incentive to deliver the maximum feasible number of billable services per patient. Salaried positions, on the other hand, are supposed to keep down costs, because you get paid the same no matter how many tests you order.
It isn't the fee for service (FFS) model in itself that is the problem, but third party payer in conjunction with it. Taking the decisions about price and service out of the hands of doctors and patients and turning it over to actuaries and bureaucrats will not lower costs, but increase them.
Rather than ditching FFS, we should be deemphasizing third-party payer (like Medicare, Medicaid, and typical health insurance) and instead allow people to pay directly for normal and routine medical care, perhaps with their Health Savings Accounts.
New Coding, Same Control
On top of everything else independent physicians face, the government is pushing a new medical coding system called ICD-10. Independent of Obamacare, it's part of the general regimen of price controls forced on doctors by the health care industrial complex.
A new AMA study indicates ICD-10 will cost on the order of a physician's yearly pay for a practice to implement:
The study, an update of research published in 2008, predicts that small practice costs will range anywhere from $56,639 to more than $226,000. Medium practices, it estimates, will pay between $213,364 and $824,735 for implementation; costs for large practices are predicted to run between $2 million and $8 million.
It's always the same with price controls, whether from insurance companies or governments. When limits are set on prices for products, people selling those products relabel them something else, often resulting in a cat-and-mouse game. Shortages, black markets, and higher overall prices are the inevitable result.
The health care establishment is trying to "reimagine" the field of medicine, to change the role of doctors, asking them to reengineer their practices to work with the governmental, insurance payment models, and electronic systems being developed. Instead, those systems should be eliminated or built around the relationship between the patient.
If we continue down this road, doctors will cease to enjoy the level of public respect they currently have. Along with that lack of respect will come lower pay, and increased treatment of physicians as mere objects to be plugged and played like so many robots on a shop floor.
The problem, as always, is state control. The answer, as always, is freedom.

There is a myth in politics that elections are won and lost in the middle. The premise is that "independent" voters support tenets of both major political parties and candidates must craft their message to attract a majority of these "moderates." Despite the fact that nearly twice as many Americans self-identify as conservative as compared to liberal, conservatives are often referred to as "extremists," or worse.
Prominent political operatives write op-ed pieces proclaiming that Republicans win elections by ignoring the base of their party and that sticking to your principles is a "self-defeating strategy." Yet, these same political operatives commission polls whose results state the opposite to be true.
One such poll was commissioned by a mainstream Republican advocacy group in early June of last year. Several months before millions of Americans discovered that their health insurance premiums and deductibles were set to skyrocket in 2014, nearly two thirds of Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike told a pollster that the top priority of health care policy should be reducing the cost of health care.
Before the defund debate had begun and Senator Ted Cruz stood for 21 hours to implore his U.S. Senate colleagues to defund Obamacare, a cool two thirds of Republicans and Independents told a pollster they wanted Congress to take whatever steps possible to "dismantle" Obamacare now.
The most startling fact of all: when asked whether people should be allowed to purchase insurance across state lines, more than 75% of Democrats, Republicans and Independents agreed. In fact, the greatest agreement was seen among Independents, a cool 85% of whom do not want the government restricting their choice of health insurance.
This brings up a larger point. A record 42% of Americans self-identify as Independent rather than Republican or Democrat because the major political parties do not advance policies that are important to those voters. As an example, while few agree that our present immigration system is ideal, Republican and Democrat politicians press the immigration debate despite only 3% of Americans viewing immigration as the most pressing issue of the day. It is no wonder that pollster Frank Luntz suggested that the most effective political soundbite of 2013 was one where Senator Ted Cruz observed that the President and Congress are not listening to the American people.
In the aftermath of the 2012 election, a prominent Republican political operative suggested that Republicans could regain their political swagger by deploying an "army of computer engineers, mathematicians and social scientists" as the Obama campaign had done to mine electoral data and achieve electoral success. The creation of Para Bellum Labs within the Republican National Committee would seem to indicate that the RNC has heeded this operative's advice.
As a mathematician, I would suggest that the answer is much simpler. Do not target voters, target the message they are sending. When three fourths of the voting public tells you something, LISTEN!
Republicans should offer a simple alternative to Obamacare. Suggest that if you elect us in 2014, we will allow you to buy whatever health insurance plan you want, wherever it is offered, and we will not punish you if you choose not to purchase anything at all. Pass a one page bill out of the House of Representatives and offer it up in the United States Senate with every Republican Senator as a co-sponsor. Take a clear unadulterated stand and follow through! Freedom works!
Conservatives were excoriated during the defund debate last fall as being outside the mainstream. It was a question of tactics we were told, notwithstanding the fact that those doing the questioning were sitting on polling data stating that they ought to have been following the conservatives. It is no wonder that a recent Freedomworks poll found nearly half of its respondents listing health care as a top concern.
The Obama administration told Americans recently that it is "good news" that they will have the "opportunity" to work less as a consequence of Obamacare. Only in a dystopian Orwellian fantasy is more unemployment "good news." By that economic scorecard, Washington should be celebrating with parades every month!
Washington is not listening to the American people. If Republicans are not proactive in fighting our decline into dystopia, their political fortunes will get sucked into its vortex.

I don't want to shock our readers but, occasionally, liberals can be inconsistent. They can be, if one dares use the term, hypocritical. This latest example came to my attention as I was researching a recent piece on the case the Supreme Court is hearing with regards to unions.
The issue, in short, is this: there are those who do not want to be forced to pay union dues, while the unions say they must. The union rationale is that a worker benefits from union negotiated wages and conditions, so it's only right that he or she pay the dues.
The unions call this, in true liberal euphemistic fashion, the "fair share provision." It is thought that, should dues paying become optional, there would be a disproportionate financial burden on those who choose to pay union dues. But apparently, progressive objection to subsidizing the benefits of others doesn't translate to other situations.
Take Obamacare, for example. How does this "fairness" apply to that darling of the left? On the surface, it translates perfectly. Everyone is forced to pay for something they may or may not want, in order to finance the benefits of everyone else. This is another case of fairness above choice because our liberal overlords have decided that it is in our best interest. That, however, is as far as the correlation goes because, in reality, everyone does not pay in.
Obamacare waivers are given out like Mardi Gras beads to those who most enthusiastically flash their support in public. Ironically, this includes unions- the very groups that believe everyone should chip in for the greater good have managed to get out of doing exactly that.
Should the unions wish to be ideologically consistent, I have a a suggestion. Perhaps they should take a page from Obamacare and give waivers to those who actually love their union (and would choose to pay dues), thus only collecting dues from those who have no wish to join. Easy peasy.

Conservatives were right to warn that Governor John Kasich's embrace of the Obamacare Medicaid expansion would increase government spending and hurt Ohio's labor force, a February 4 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report affirms.
States still being pressured to take "free" Medicaid expansion money from DC should learn from Kasich's mistake.
Of exploding federal spending, CBO wrote, "The increase in outlays reflects substantial growth in the cost of the largest benefit programs — Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — and in payments of interest on the government's debt; those increases would more than offset a significant decline in discretionary spending relative to the size of the economy."
The Obamacare Medicaid expansion will cause damage beyond further busting DC's budget, as The Buckeye Institute, Opportunity Ohio, Media Trackers, Foundation for Government Accountability, and others explained while Kasich, a Republican, tried to ram the policy through Ohio's legislature.
"CBO estimates that expanded Medicaid eligibility under [Obamacare] will, on balance, reduce incentives to work," the nonpartisan budget office opined, citing a National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper Media Trackers called attention to last summer.
CBO listed "expansion of eligibility for Medicaid" as the second most important Obamacare provision affecting the nation's labor supply.
"In particular, studies of past expansions or contractions in Medicaid eligibility for childless adults have pointed to a larger effect on labor supply than CBO had estimated previously," CBO wrote.
The left-leaning Urban Institute has estimated that 90 percent of Ohioans eligible for Medicaid under the Obamacare expansion will be able-bodied childless adults, a point The Heritage Foundation's Ed Haislmaier made during Ohio House testimony last spring.
Heritage, like every other right-of-center think tank, was ignored by the Kasich Administration and by the state's rabidly pro-expansion press.
CBO's February 4 report also discredited assurances from Gov. Kasich that Medicaid expansion is separate from Obamacare and that Ohio would save taxpayers no money by refusing to expand Medicaid.
"Medicaid spending is expected to accelerate in 2014, because about 25 states have expanded coverage significantly in keeping with provisions of the Affordable Care Act," CBO wrote.
Elsewhere in the report, CBO noted that new estimates did not take into account any "decisions by states about expanding Medicaid coverage" since last December, an acknowledgement that Obamacare's increased Medicaid costs rise with each state that enacts the expansion.
Media Trackers has sought to explain this simple fact to a seemingly indifferent press since last February. Cato Institute health policy expert Michael Cannon refuted Kasich's position in March 2013 testimony before the Ohio House, but the media chose to ignore him.
The left-leaning Kaiser Family Foundation's cost projections from 2012 — and a direct quote from last March — also affirm that Kasich's talking points are false, but Gov. Kasich continues to misrepresent how the new entitlement benefits will be paid for.
See a list of other findings from the CBO report that are not so much revelations as confirmations of years-old conservative warnings about Obamacare.
This story was originally published at Media Trackers.

Obamacare has been a drag on the US economy so far based mostly on uncertainty and on businesses preparing to comply with its various rules, mandates, penaties, taxes, and fees. But a new report from the CBO shows that the law will trap people in unemployment and cause higher deficits, piling onto the national debt while lower tax receipts make it harder for the government to repay.
There is no way to fix the flawed design of Obamacare. Since its subsidies for insurance companies are inversely proportional to the income of their customers, dropping off as it rises, Obamacare will inevitably convince people to turn down work to keep their insurance. In case it's not clear, that's not good.
To be specific, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that Obamcare will cause up to 2.5 million Americans to be unemployed by 2024.
Those aren't jobs lost, exactly, but that's not to say it's a good thing. The jobs may still be there, at least for a while, but in a sad twist of bad policy, 2.5 million Americans will see themselves unable to take those jobs, or be convinced that they should not. Over two million people will see their dreams put out of reach, their will to succeed sapped, their working lives cut short by a warm pit of pleasant-looking quicksand.
Once again, we see government policy encouraging income inequality, while those who claim that inequality is the defining challenge of our time applaud. The income inequality will persist for generations, unless Obamacare is fully repealed.
It's not "job lock," where a person is locked into a job to keep insurance. It's more like being locked out of the labor market altogether: a job lockout.
That problem is especially acute since other government programs like SNAP, housing assistance, and the Earned Income Tax Credit also cut off as income rises. Obamacare makes the Work vs Welfare problem even worse than before.
Avik Roy noticed something else, that the CBO estimates economic growth will be slower:
Because of this slower economic growth, CBO projects that from 2014 to 2023, the federal government will receive $1.4 trillion less in tax revenue than it had projected last year. As a result, "CBO now estimates that the cumulative deficit for the 2014-2023 period…would be about $1.0 trillion greater than it projected in May [2013]."
So that's another $1 trillion added to the debt our generation will be leaving for the next. There will be another trillion added to the debt, with millions fewer unable to work to pay the taxes needed to pay it off, while those millions more are trapped in government dependence.
It's all so unnecessary. America's employer-based health insurance took off because of wage and price controls in the 1940s: companies could offer health insurance, but could not offer higher wages. Since the benefits are tax-free, companies have been able to use the health insurance benefit as a way to compete for employees.
Via Twitchy, Martha McCollum asks a simple question:
Lemme get this right: companies used to incentivize hard work with benefits, now the govt discourages it with benefits?
— martha maccallum (@marthamaccallum) February 5, 2014
It's a policy run amok. Even the US Chamber of Commerce, which has been warming to Obamacare, noticed the problem. Obamacare will sap from people the will to succeed, providing not a safety net, but an inescapable hammock.
Obamacare has been a drag on the US economy so far based mostly on uncertainty and on businesses preparing to comply with its various rules, mandates, penaties, taxes, and fees. But a new report from the CBO shows that the law will trap people in unemployment and cause higher deficits, piling onto the national debt while lower tax receipts make it harder for the government to repay.
Fearing baldness, I long ago stopped scratching my head at the public moves of the Republican hierarchy. With Obamacare crumbling like a celebrity marriage all around them, the Democrats are so desperate that they're focusing on raising the minimum wage-a "feel good" bunch of nonsense that benefits an age demographic that isn't even old enough to vote for them. But they need people to talk about anything but Obamacare.
Savvy combatants don't fall for deflections, they look around to see what it is the other side doesn't want them to see. This year, the Republicans don't even have to look around. But, like ten year old boys with ADHD, that is all they seem to want to do.
At the end of last year, I wrote that a narrow focus on Obamacare and school choice would serve the GOP well going into this year's elections. Imagine my mild surprise when party quickly got around to talking about the latter.
Proving that there is almost no reason for optimism when it comes to GOP strategy lately, the House has decided to wrap up National School Choice Week by putting the focus on...a thoroughly awful farm bill and the immigration reform windmill at which it loves to tilt.
Bravo, party betters. You managed not only to get off-topic, but did so with muddy message issues that aren't election winners.
Let us for the moment go all WIlly Wonka and enter a world of pure imagination. Suppose that the farm bill and immigration reform weren't fraught with problems. If you need to belt down a couple of stiff drinks to get there, I'll wait.
Even then, there isn't a good case to be made to take the focus off of Obamacare. And school choice is the one issue where conservatives can woo minority voters through principles and action rather than political pandering.
If I were a full-blown conspiracy type, I would posit that it seems as if the GOP leaders are deliberately focusing on things that draw bolder battle lines between them and Tea Party conservatives, than them and the Democrats. I am, however, not ready to go there.
There are few people outside of the RNC, NRCC and NRSC who wouldn't agree that the Republican party has had a messaging problem for quite some time. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is that it hasn't had many prominent elected officials who can articulate the case for, well, anything. Thankfully, that is changing.
The second, and more problematic, is that it chooses positions that are esoteric and/or numbers laden, which aren't easy to explain to the electorate.
The current state of Obamacare and school choice both practically explain themselves. They provide a clear path to victory in November but the party hierarchy keeps wandering off to do other things because...just because.
The current diversion is especially maddening, given the fact that the upper echelon of the GOP was just whining that the government shutdown prevented them from focusing on how awful the Obamacare rollout was.
The good news: the Obamacare rollout is still awful. Feel free to fire up that focus any time, guys.
