Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef)
I came across this really tasty sounding recipe for bulgogi a while ago. Bulgogi is a Korean barbecued beef dish that translates to "fire meat". I liked the fact that this recipe used a pear and an apple in the marinade to add sweetness and help tenderize the meat. The bulgogi was pretty easy to make. The hardest part was slicing the beef thinly. I found that freezing the beef for an hour made it easier to slice thinly. The bulgogi was really good. It was sweet and tasty and the beef was nice and tender. I served it with rice and kimchi and I even tried making lettuce wraps with it. The leftover bulgogi mad a great bibimbap.
Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef)
(from Kitchen Wench by Ellie Won)
1 pound beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
5 cloves garlic (grated)
1 inch ginger (grated)
1 small onion (grated)
1 Korean pear (grated)
1 Fuji apple (grated)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 green onions (chopped)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Mix everything in a freezer bag and marinate over night.
2. Cook the meat on a barbecue or in a pan on the stove.

Great GF pizza & knowledgable staff
Loved the GF pizza. Big improvement utilizing the new GF pizza crust.
Waitress was very knowledgable and helpful. Yummy food with a good variety.
I loved Mellow Mushroom. My boyfriend has Celiacs' and had a large, House Special pizza on his own, he LOVED it. It was the first time in 7 years he had attempted to try gluten free pizza and literally was in heaven. I tried it myself and the bread was moist and very tasteful. My chicken calzone was pretty awesome too!
Awesome gluten free pizza and great service as well. Try the salads too.
740 S Mill Ave, Tempe, AZ 85281
I like this place. the pizza is good, the atmosphere is nice. I typically receive good service here. Losing one star because the options are lacking. good place though.
2436 18th Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20009
It's awesome that they have a separate menu for gluten free pizza. A little pricy but it's a good size personal pizza. I thought the choices were pretty good.
2109 Cumberland Ave., Knoxville, TN, 37916
Good pizza but pricey
767 Huffman Mill Road, Burlington, NC, 27215
We got the gluten free mighty meaty and it was amazing. It's the most I've seen my daughter put away at one time since we've discovered her gluten intolerance. You can't even tell it's gf. I seriously believe that if you took it out and didn't tell anyone they would never know. We will definitely be going back for more.
710 Lake Joy Road, Warner Robins, GA, 31088
Omg. Absolutely the best gf pizza I have ever had.
903 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 37738
Delicious gluten free pizza!
1460 East Augustine Lane, Fayetteville, AR, 72703
Visiting from out of town and this is the best gluten free pizza I've ever had! Ordered the house pizza and it was both crunchy and chewy (never had a gluten free pizza that was BOTH before!) Lots of toppings and I couldn't have asked for better service! Definitely recommend!!
1023 Bardstown Road, Louisville, KY 40204
Great pizza and salads!! Lots of topping choices. GF menu online with info about prep safety and kitchen staff training.
2485 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
Excellent service! Good was fantastic! Getting a lil'salad was a bad idea because it was HUGE! Pizza was amazing! One of the best GF Pizzas ever!
238 Broad Street, Rome, GA, 30161
the pizza was so good and it tastes just like regular pizza!
3920 Shelbyville Road, Louisville, KY 40207
Loved the Gluten Free pizza!!!!!! They also have a non-dairy cheese for us lactose intolerant peeps.
4311 Oleander Drive, Wilmington, NC, 28403
Atmosphere was awesome and the staff was super friendly. Way too over priced though and the pizza wasn't too good-I've had better...
700 South Rosemary Avenue #100, West Palm Beach, FL 33401
Great pizza! Go whenever I am in West Palm Beach.
50 Broadway Ave, Asheville, NC, 28801
Best gf pizza in town. I know for a fact that are very careful about cross contamination, they take it seriously, especially for a pizza place. Don't bother with other gf pizza in town, you'll get sick.
50 Broadway Ave, Asheville, NC, 28801
pizza was okay. edible but nothing spectacular
2955 South Rutherford Blvd., Suite A, Murfreesboro, TN, 37130
Good pizza toppings but the crust leaves a bit too be desired.
2303 South McKenzie St, Foley, AL, 36535
Very good gluten free pizza, but when the waitress brought the food, she said "Gluten free pizza and a 'good' one" - referring to my husband's non-gf pizza. We think Mellow Mushroom is rather pricey.
601 R St #110, Lincoln, Nebraska 68508
Delicious! I wish they had some more appetizers though! A little pricey!
120 Dunbarton Dr, Florence, SC 29501
Always loved their gluten free pizza until they changed the crust. Now I get sick every time I eat it. :( The new crust has ancient grains & flax seed. I wish they would've kept the original crust with very few ingredients.
2820 Selwyn Avenue STE. 100, Charlotte, NC, 28209
I have had major problems here the last three times I visited. I ordered one type of GF pizza all three times, and they bring me the wrong GF pizza. Then they seemingly rush to fix the problem and bring me what I actually ordered - and I get really sick. I ordered a regular GF cheese pizza (trying to make it easy for them), and they brought out a GF vegan pizza. At least they got the GF part right, but last week was sadly the last time I'll eat here.
464 East Main Street, Spartanburg, SC, 29302
This is the best gluten free pizza I have had. I love the olive oil and garlic base, veg-out with chicken. I have it every Friday. Always great!
805 Blankenbaker Pkwy, Louisville, KY 40243
I have two favorite gluten free crusts in town and this is one of them. You will love this option if you're gluten free.
1110 Boll Weevil Circle, Enterprise, AL, 36330
Usually I love Mellow Mushroom GF pizza, it tastes so normal! I have ordered from this Mellow Mushroom a few times and they overlook the GF pizzas, like burnt to a crisp! So the last one I ordered I asked for "cooked light" and it was PERFECT!
2820 E Southlake Blvd, Southlake, TX 76092
Awesome gluten free pizza! Did not get sick which confirms they work to avoid cross contamination. Finally a pizza place that follows through!
2630 Gulf to Bay Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33759
My favorite gluten free crust!
309 King Street, Charleston, SC, 29401
They have nice choices and I didn't get sick
7915 Vaughn Road, Festival Plaza - Rave Motion Pictures, Montgomery, AL, 36116
My pizza was fantastic!
309 King Street, Charleston, SC, 29401
Amazing. Best Pizza around! My wife really enjoyed her GF pizza - not easy to find in Massachusetts.
115 North Loop 1604 East, San Antonio, TX 78232
I so dispute the person who spoke negatively about pizza crust. Most places serve up frozen Udi's pizza crust. MM makes there's FRESH in a separate kitchen area and the GF meals are even delivered to guest separate of other guests meals. Staff is fully trained on GF (even the bartender) and the chef himself came out to answer a question on their soup. I have never scene such care to the GF guest! Cudos to MM!!!
19 Magnolia Rd, Charleston, SC 29407
Very good gluten free pizza!
2485 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
good gf pizza good size for 2. Greek salad great with lots of vegs. service a little slow but busy time of day. no gf dessert though.
767 Huffman Mill Road, Burlington, NC, 27215
Great gluten free pizza which I have missed to much! Pricey for a pizza but really good. Service always great
309 King Street, Charleston, SC, 29401
Great gluten free pizza and beer. My wife had a stuffed portabella salad and loved it. Great food, nice ambience and great service.
2630 Gulf to Bay Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33759
Love the pizza here! Tons of topping!!!
16103 Chenal Parkway #900, Little Rock, AR 72211
Always good and haven't had any issues. It's nice to know that I can eat at any location and be safe.
9734 Deer Lake Court, Suite 1, Jacksonville, FL, 32246
My favorite GF pizza in town!
2820 E Southlake Blvd, Southlake, TX 76092
We got take out from this location during a recent vacation at Great Wolf Lodge in December 2014. My daughter has Celiac Disease and I am gluten intolerant. We had no problems except for our large salad was no where near a large. Apparently, they thought since it was take out we would never notice. So, check your take out salads. Otherwise, everything was fine with our 2 gluten free pizzas.
2170 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus, OH, 43240
Maybe the worst GF pizza we've tried. And their knowledge of GF ingredients and cross contamination needs major improvement.
6100 Veterans Parkway, Suite 14, Columbus, GA, 31909
Good gluten free pizza. Not the typical cracker-like crust you get most places. The toppings are awesome as well.
2426 Guadalupe St, Austin, TX, 78705
We ate at the Mello Mushroom December 31 and it was great!!! We bought the House Special and the Mighty Meat pizzas and were gluten free. They were delicious and will certainly go back when I'm in town. The service was great as well. Thank you so much.
320 Town Center Avenue Ste. C1, Suwanee, GA, 30024
Yummy DF and gf options
14835 Ballantyne Village Way, Charlotte, NC 28277
Amazing! Great for celiacs, but a little pricey. Never been glutened.
314 West 4th Street, Winston-Salem, NC, 27101
Atmosphere is cool. The gluten free pizza is pretty good.
1080 East 2100 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84106
the waitress was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options and very cautious not to even let my pizza touch the non gluten free pizzas at the table. On to of that the pizza was delicious! they even do half and half pizzas so you can have options.
205 Broad Street, Chattanooga, TN, 37402
gf beer, delicious gf pizza, staff is excellent! win :-)
9238 Floer Drive, West Chester, OH 45069
They include their gluten free pizza list within the standard menu. Best GF pizza we have had so far. Crust is vegan and has a multi grain look. Pizza crust thin and edges nice and crisp.
1014 Town Drive, Wilder, KY, 41076
Decent beer selection. Serving New Planet Pale Ale. A little pricey but the crust is very good. Great wait staff. We'll be back for sure.
2485 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
Awesome gluten free pizza! I highly recommend this place. The worker even warmed my pizza back up for me because I had stepped out side for a moment and it had arrived at my family's table. The worker was very concerned to keep it separate from my kids pizzas. Loved this place! .
275 Dogwood Blvd, Flowood, MS, 39232
Best gluten free pizza and it doesn't taste like cardboard. Celiac friendly and the staff takes good care me.
2641 Legends Parkway, Prattville, AL, 36066
The NEW gluten free crust is excellent. My gluten eating family kept getting my pizza out of the fridge and I never got another piece once we got it home. Much better than the first one. Thanks for listening.

The 5 Best Features in WordPress JetPack
If you haven't been following WordPress development closely this past year, you haven't missed much. The last major version of WordPress, 3.4, was released On June 13th and the next, 3.5, is scheduled to be released on December 5th.
Neither version added what could be considered major user-facing features, especially to bloggers who are already working on the platform. Version 3.4 introduced greater theme controls and improved localization while 3.5 will introduce a new default theme and revamp the upload/insert workflow.
While all of these are great features and important to have, they don't exactly set the world on fire with new functionality either. They're incremental improvements and not sexy new features that get bloggers excited about new releases. However, cautious updates make sense given that it's important for the WordPress core to be stable and consistent for the many corporate applications it sees these days
However, that doesn't mean WordPress is being left to stagnate. Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and primary driver behind developing the WordPress platform, has been dishing out a bevy of new features and tools, but they haven't been baking it into the WordPress core. Instead, they've been taking advantage of WordPress' plugin architecture and have built a plugin of plugins, named Jetpack, to incorporate new features they don't want to code into WordPress itself.
While the reception of Jetpack was somewhat cool at first, it's grown to incorporate a wide number of features, many of which have been widely requested by bloggers for some time.
So, keeping in mind that Jetpack is being rapidly updated, what are some of the best features it adds? Here are of the best to consider. Read More

Latest update : 2013-02-27
Syria: amateur photographers capture life inside war-torn Homs
Amateur photographers in Syria are capturing life in war-torn Homs. Cardinals will be banned from tweeting for the duration of the conclave. And we discover life through the eyes of Super Mario.
Syria: amateur photographers capture life inside war-torn Homs
A mosque ravaged by bombing, a hospital destroyed after months of fierce fighting and entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. These photos have been posted to this Facebook page called "Lense of a young Homsi": administered by a group of young amateur photographers based in Homs, in central Syria: images testifying to the destruction in and around this hotbed of opposition activity caused by heavy shelling from Bashar al-Assad's army.
In this video members of the group say they are also responding to requests from former residents who have fled the violence. Refugees have asked them, amongst other things; to upload photos of the street where they used to live to see if their house is still standing.
And these amateur photographers aren't just focusing on gutted buildings and debris ridden roads. They have also posted numerous pictures of locals. Scenes of everyday life that illustrate the growing humanitarian crisis in Syria: civilians have been facing shortages of bread, medical supplies and fuel for months now. And of course children are the most vulnerable; even if for them life appears to be carrying on as normal.
Cardinals will not be allowed to tweet during the conclave
Benedict XVI will be officially stepping down on the 28th February, the conclave will then convene to elect his successor and the cardinals have been forbidden from using Twitter during the procedure to avoid the name of the future Pope being leaked before the formal announcement... although Twitter is only really an issue for a very small handful of the 117 cardinals eligible to vote.
Yes, there are very few active tweeters among them. One of them is Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, he's something of an online celebrity with around 83,000 followers. Micro blogging since May 2012, he only follows one account, the Pope's, he tweets almost on a daily basis, doing his upmost to spread the word of God, and has even been known to add a touch of humour; here for example with this Batman comparison.
Another cardinal who has proved prolific on Twitter: Gianfranco Ravasi, the president of the Pontifical Council for Culture who some consider to be a possible candidate for pope. He has 39,000 web users following his regular tweets in Italian and also in Latin.
And although they do not have the same level of online popularity as Timothy Dolan and Gianfranco Ravasi, several other cardinals are boasting thousands of fans on the web. Cardinal Odilo Scherer for example, the archbishop of Sao Paulo who has around 24,000 Twitter followers and then there's Cardinal Angelo Scola, who's tweets are read by over 18,000 fans.
Men of the church with a firm grasp on social networking who will however be forced to put their online activity to one side throughout the duration of the conclave.
Now trending on social networks
Launched in December 2012, the Pope's official Twitter account @pontifex which exists in various languages, collectively followed by around 3 million web users from all over the world, will be put on hold on the 28 February at 8pm when Benedict XVI officially steps down. The Pope had learnt to embrace Twitter as a way of communicating with followers of the Catholic faith and which according to the Radio Vatican website, will resume service once Benedict XVI's successor has been appointed. Will the future Pope be equally aware of the qualities of social communication? Watch this space.
Homeless man gets huge reward for returning engagement ring
When Sarah Darling handed over her spare change to Billy Ray Harris, a homeless man in Kansas City, she didn't notice that she had also given him her diamond studded engagement ring which she had been keeping in her purse. But instead of selling it, the homeless man waiting for her the next day, in the same place, to give her back her precious ring. To reward him for his honesty, Sarah's husband launched on online appeal for donations to help get the man's life back on track, which will now be possible as over 140,000 dollars has been raised so far.

About the Spanish language
Spanish is spoken by about 350 million people worldwide as a first language, with a further 70 million speaking it as a second language.
It is the main language of Spain, and is also spoken as a first language in most countries in South and Central America (excluding Brazil), North America, and some other countries around the world.
So why learn Spanish?
As one of the world's major languages, a knowledge of Spanish is almost essential for the traveller in South America, especially outside the major cities. Also Spain itself has many places of interest where a knowledge of the language would make a visit more enjoyable.
Spain has some of the richest literature in the world which is best enjoyed in the original to be fully appreciated. The so-called "Golden Age" of Spanish literature is the seventeenth century with writers such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and Calderón.
Easy to learn
Spanish is relatively easy to learn. The pronunciation takes some mastering but is regular in the sense that, once having learnt how to pronounce a certain sound, it can be applied consistently to other words. A knowledge of other Romance languages such as French, Italian, or Portuguese gives an obvious advantage as much of the vocabulary is similar.

Finally, during the Spanish Inquisition of the late 15th century, many JEWS that lived in the Mediterranean changed their names. ONE OF THE MOST COMMON means by which they could identify themselves was to place the prefix "LO" before their surname.
Thus, many Sicilian families of Jewish faith/origin would be named Lo Nigro, Lo Guzzardo, Lo Lama, Lo Presci, etc. etc. Keep this in mind during your research.

LoNigro wrote:Hello all, I've really just began working on my Lo Nigro family genealogy, and have them originating in Piana dei Greci, just outside of Palermo Sicily before coming to the states. I'm wondering if there is an online database containing birth records and marriages and such from that region of Sicily.
My great grandfather whom immigrated was Nicolo Lo Nigro, born abt. 1890 in Piana dei Greci. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1912 via the SS Canada sailing from Palermo to Ellis Island, before finishing his journey to New Orleans and on to Chicago. That immigration record also lists his father as Vincent Lo Nigro, though I have no information on him. My great grandmother was Giovanna or Dominica Clesceri also born in the same region in 1901 though she left Italy for Chicago in 1902. I understand the Clesceri name to be quite numerous in Piana, but have no further information.
Anything about that area would be quite helpful, or if anyone already has records containing either of these people. Thanks!
BTW is anyone familiar with the Lo Nigro and Clesceri names and could possibly tell me if they are descendants of the Greco-Albanians whom settles Piana dei Greci? A meaning of the surname Clesceri would also be great.

WSJ reports, "What we do is we try to make the current system work better," Boehner, of Ohio, said on CNN's "State of the Nation." The GOP plan would likely be less costly to taxpayers and involve less government intrusion into the private sector. Boehner said the bill would take "a step-by-step approach" to expanding coverage.
It would, among other things, propose new limits on medical malpractice lawsuits and make it easier for individuals and small businesses to pool resources to purchase insurance.
Boehner said the Republican bill would also propose grants for states that use "innovative" solutions to expand coverage. He pointed to states that have created special "high-risk pools" to provide insurance to individuals with pre-existing conditions.
He said the bill wouldn't raise taxes, nor mandate that individuals and businesses purchase insurance, as the Democratic legislation does.
The new House health care bill, H.R. 3962 includes the same problematic provisions found in the Capps Amendment added to H.R. 3200. The new bill:
Allows private health insurance plans that cover elective abortion to receive government subsidies (Section 222(e)(2)) (The bill also includes the Capps provision that purports to segregate the "federal dollars" from "private dollars" that are used to pay for abortions (Sections 303(e)(2); 341©(3)) – but nothing alters the fact that this provision allows government dollars to go to private plans that cover abortion);
Permits the public option to include abortion coverage (Section 222(e)(3));
Ensures that one plan in every coverage area covers abortion (Section 303(e)(1)(A)).
H.R. 3962 also states that funds provided for school-based clinics cannot be used for abortions (Sec. 399Z-1©(2))) and that school-based clinics are defined as not providing abortions (Sec. 399Z-1(l)(3)(E)). However, it does not prohibit abortion referrals.
Budgetary Gimmicks
Unpaid-For Doctor Fix: While the Democrats claim their bill is now deficit-neutral, the majority also introduced a separate piece of stand-alone legislation (H.R. 3961). The more than $200 billion cost of this legislation is not paid for, thus adding hundreds of billions of dollars in deficit spending and interest costs to the federal debt. Many may also note that the Congressional Budget Office recently analyzed similar legislation (S. 1776) as raising Medicare premiums by $70 billion.

News sources read (I have yet to read the actual portion of the bill) that this also caps Flexible Medical accounts at $2,500 a year? That is an outrage… I know many people who are only making it financially because of their Flexible Spending accounts…
I have yet to read the bill, but I got to say… I do not support government control of our healthcare insurance system, with our without a 'public option', it is still controlling and regulating our health insurance. I have yet to see the government regulate anything in a way that makes it better.
Why not pass a few small laws at a time, to slowly improve… such as allowing insurance to be bought across state lines? If things don't get better in 5 years, add another small option….
This kind of massive regulation and overhaul cannot lead to anything good. I challenge anyone to name one government system that is run efficiently and without a lot of interference and red tape.
- desolation_anonymous 11/02/2009 8:56am
Good. Hopefully if they do overstep and this monstrosity actually passes, we can get the whole thing thrown out in court.
I thought the main issue was, it is not in the Federal Government authority to force the American People to buy anything? Or am I wrong about that?
I'd love to see that. Get the whole thing overturned because it is unconstitutional. I'm not a lawyer, but last I checked the Constitution is STILL the highest legal authority as law in this land.
- desolation_anonymous 11/03/2009 2:09pm
I would love to. Am having Thanksgiving with one, hopefully. I hope to ask then.
First of all, it's HEALTH INSURANCE not Health Care that is being regulated here.
Second of all… Unemployment benefits are paid into by the worker and not everyone is entitled to them. Unemployment bennies do not carry along a hefty fine for those who do not have them.
Thirdly… Social Security is a tax that (theoretically) goes into a pool where, when I am 60 or 65 I get to cash out on.
Both of these areas are enforced by taxation and are not (too terribly) intrusive. Mandatory Health Insurance IS intrusive and carries a hefty fine with it. It does not fall under the general welfare clause because it adds another level of intrusion into the lives of US Citizens.
I have faith that, if passed, this bill will be found to be unconstitutional.
Uh, no, it's a tax regardless. I mean, really, do you think that you're going to have access to Social Security when you're of retirement age (if not already or soon approaching)?
I know for a fact that Social Security is not going to available to me when I get to retirement. Guess what, its because of mismanagement by both Democrats AND Republicans!
I admire your ideology, but I think it just might be misplaced.
- desolation_anonymous 11/05/2009 3:20pm
Interesting question. I will…. but I thought you could 'opt out' of Social Security with a lot of hassle?
I don't know about unemployment benefits… I know some small businesses don't have them, but?
I'd need to talk to my accountant, but I'm not aware of any current option "out" of SS unless you are self-employed and above a certain tax bracket.
Unemployment is federally mandated but managed at the state level through the U.S. Treasury. Some of the specifics vary from state to state. So it is very possible you've run across a business that had a negligible payment into the system, but you were covered by law.
I do not trust that our court system would throw it out. We now have at least one supreme court justice that believes the courts' job is to create law from the bench not interpret the law. The checks and balances created by the constitution have been so eroded by politicians playing outside the rules that I believe the only solution is to hit the big reset button.
- desolation_anonymous 11/05/2009 3:21pm
I could be wrong, but isn't that STATE laws, not Federal? I thought such things were under the jurisdiction of the states, not the Federal Government?
There is, to my knowledge, such thing as an uninsured motorist fee. There is, however, a law that stipulates that it is unlawful to be uninsured AND you can be ticketed and fined for failure to present proof of automobile insurance.
Fee implies that you can pay it and go on not having the insurance. Fine is a repercussion for violating a law or statute.
It varies from state to state. In Virginia, for example: Uninsured Motor Vehicle Fee -
If the vehicle is uninsured, the motor vehicle owner is required to pay to DMV a $500 uninsured motor vehicle fee in addition to normal registration fees. Payment of the $500 fee does not provide the motorist with any insurance coverage. If involved in an accident, the uninsured motorist remains personally liable. This fee is valid for twelve months but may be prorated for a shorter amount of time.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Health care/insurance is not mentioned anywhere in the constitution, least of all in the congressional powers section, so it is not something congress has the power to do under the constitution.
Those powers are delegated in Article I sec 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, …and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States;"
Broadcast radio was not mentioned in the constitution either. Good luck with that one as well.
I think you've completely missed the mark in trying to make a point… I'm assuming you're referring to the usage of broadcast radio as an instrument of free speech?
Regardless of what your intention was with that statement, the fact still remains that it falls under a generalization of one of the Constitutionally garunteed rights.
The Constitution provides Congress the power to provide for the GENERAL welfare, not the total or complete welfare of the United States. Forcing people to have health insurance does not fall under general welfare.
Broadcasting is federally legislated down to a mathematical absolute. Just an example.
This bill does not provide "total or complete welfare." But, how is access to health care (which is what insurance provides) less general than Social Security, which has already been argued at the Supreme Court and found to be within the constitutional scope of the General Welfare clause? Many of us will never use Social Security, either because we've done well for ourselves or just that we are all mortal. But because we are all mortal, could anything be more general? Can you find no benefit in a stronger, healthier workforce on productivity?
Noooo… Insurance does not provide health care, it provides a means to pay for health care. Per most state laws, Hospitals MUST provide care regardless of whether or not one posess health insurance. Access to health care has already been garunteed. It's the costs that are the wall to people being to actually PAY for that coverage. It isnt insurance. I've said this before in another post, but the issue isnt insurance coverage, its the out of control costs associated with health care. The government needs to reign in on what doctors charge for a routine check up and it needs to pressure standardization for routine exams and proceedures. The only thing that Congress needs to do Insurance related is make it unlawful to raise premiums because of age and make it unlawful to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions. Once that's been done, I am fully confident that the Insurance coverage issue will fix itself… Simply because it will become affordable!
I agree fraud and abuse needs to be addressed. Those provisions in this bill were a pleasant surprise to me. But I think the costliest abuses are on the insurance side. There are primary care physicians that will charge less if you are not putting it on your insurance, for example.
Don't confuse the charges you see on your EOB with what actually gets paid. Typically, insurance co.s negotiate payments at a fraction of the charge. The problem is that the guy with no insurance gets the whole bill. I believe there is a law that states that providers can't CHARGE different amounts, but obviously they can accept different payments. This is bad law in my opinion. I have been successful in negotiating with hospitals and labs to accept the amount they negotiated with my insurance co for claims that were denied for various reasons (all within the language of my plan, not some insurance co. conspiracy).
As far as standardization, the scope of that project is too huge to fathom. If you could diagnose and treat every ailment by referring to a standardized algorithm, there would be no need for medical doctors.

Bangladesh: blogger's death sparks massive protests
A blogger's death in Bangladesh has sparked massive protests. Also, has the president of Chechnya started an Instagram account? And finally, web users the world over protest the IOC's decision to drop wrestling from the Games.
Bangladesh: blogger's death sparks massive protests
Tens of thousands of protesters in Bangladesh returned to the streets of the capital Dhaka this weekend: this time to denounce the death of one of the key figures and leaders of their protest movement, anti-Islamist blogger Amhed Rajib Haider, who was murdered on Friday.
An architect by trade, and better known under his pseudonym "Thaba Baba", he had recently received online threats from Jamaat-e-Islami, the country's largest Islamist party. And his murder comes at a time when several of the political group's leaders are being tried before a special tribunal for war crimes in the independence conflict with Pakistan at the beginning of the 1970s.
And many Bangladeshi protesters are angered by the life-sentence handed down to one of the leaders who was found guilty of murder, rape and torture; they feel the punishment is far too lenient. Campaigning began on social networks around two weeks ago, and now they are staging streets protests on a daily basis, demanding the death penalty for those found guilty.
Ahmed Rajib Haider was instrumental in organizing these rallies. And as tributes for the murdered blogger continue to pour in on social networks; demonstrators have vowed to continue campaigning until their demands are met.
Is Ramzan Kadyrov's private photo album on Instagram?
Over the past few weeks, one account on photo sharing service Instagram has really got web users wondering. Under the name "alihan777", the page in question has posted scores of photos of the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov, many of them of his private life. Interesting pictures that portray the leader in a different, more human light, and the majority of social networkers believe they have been published by the dictator himself of someone close to him in a bid to boost his online reputation.
The famous Instagram page features dozens of photos Kadyrov with his children. Others illustrate his love for animals; there are a lot of shots showing the Chechen leader stroking horses, deer, birds and even tigers. Images that suggest he loves nature, and nature loves him…
And although Kadyrov is portrayed as a family man and animal lover, his role as militia leader has not been ignored. There are several photos on the account showing Chechnya's president in military fatigues and posing with guns.
And there are also photos of Kadyrov in his personal time among the hundreds of photos posted to the alihan777 page. We see the dictator playing sports, dressing up, having fun with friends, and some well-known faces: like Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Web users protest decision to drop wrestling from Olympics
Web users the world over have been protesting the International Olympic committee's decision to drop wrestling from the 2020 summer games. In fact thousands have been campaigning online, urging the IOC to change its mind. 33 petitions have been started on the site change.org and have garnered thousands of signatures in just a few days. But whether this will be sufficient to win wrestling a reprieve remains to be seen, the final decision for the 2020 Olympic sports has not yet been made.
