Harmonic Wealth in giveaways!

Harmonic Wealth as defined by James Arthur Ray is wealth found in all 5 areas of a person's life:

1. Financial
2. Relational
3. Mental
4. Physical
5. Spiritual

The harmonic wealth we are talking about today, does not include relational wealth, or possibly physical wealth, but does most certainly include financial, mental and spiritual wealth.



We start with the harmonic wealth pillar: financial wealth.

Hyundai is giving away a "price lock" for gas with every new car sold. This fixes the price of unleaded regular at $1.49/gallon for a year! This program runs until August 31, and they hope to sell more cars than usual during the "dog days of summer." In order to qualify, the customer forgoes $1,000 in rebates.

Eligible vehicles include the Accent, Sonata, Tiburon, Elantra, Elantra Touring, Entourage, Azera, the Santa Fe and the Tuscon and Veracruz. No, this does not include the Panoz or the Shelby Cobra above, but a girl has to have her dreams....

So, with gas prices at $2.87/gallon where I live, what does this mean? I use about 5.25 gallons per day for my commute to the city. (I live in a beautiful farming and fishing community.... Lucky, huh? No. Good manifesting!) So, for a year, I will now spend (if prices stay about where they are) $3872.82. The "gas lock" price will be $2024.74. This is a saving for me of $1848.08. I drive a Toyota 200 miles a day. If the Hyundai doesn't give me close to 38.27miles/gallon, then I might not save as much because I'll be using more gas. Four Hyundai models achieve more than 30 miles per gallon on the highway –Accent, Elantra, Elantra Touring and Sonata. So, will this give me harmonic wealth? A saving for me of $1800 is sweet.

Everyone has to do the math. It's only for one year that you will get these savings. And, it will only really give you savings if you drive A LOT, as I do.... I wonder what a Hyundai's value is as a turn in after one year?

If you're interested, here's how it works. First, you buy a Hyundai. Then you go to hyundai.pricelock.com and register a valid credit card. After enrolling, the customer will receive a Hyundai Assurance-branded card which must be used for future fill-ups. There is another strength to this. I avoid Exxon and other gas stations that have overpriced gas. With this card, if I were traveling, I would be able to get that same $1.49 price anywhere. That would delightful.... This would feel like harmonic wealth for me.

Five Reasons for Forex robots and to Invest in Forex.

Forex using Forex robots is the opportunity for anyone wanting to save money for their children, for a new home, for their retirement or for grown up toys such as a sports car or a large boat.

There are five main reasons to invest in Forex, and there's an unstable stock market. For the next 10 years it is predicted by such financial advisors as Suze Orman that the stock market is going to be very volatile and unpredictable. The reasons for this are numerous as you probably already know, and one of those reasons is the precarious cash-debt ratio faced by most companies. This makes invesing in Forex, especially when using one of the Forex robots, even more attractive than it normally is. You'll be investing in what is currently the world's most valuable raw material -- money.

1. The Foreign Exchange(Forex) Market is the world's most liquid market, with hugh volumes being traded and exchanged 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Wheras the stock market shares are tied to the value of each company, Forex has no such limitations.
2. The Forex market is also the most transparent. No CEO can manipulate the sales or marketing reports and no CFO is adjusting the financial picture. And, since negotiations take place in multimillion dollar exchanges, it is virtually impossible to manipulate the market. This is the perfect setting for a long term strategy using a Forex robot.
3. The Forex market is open when you have available time. When I was in the stock market, it was distressing that big events could change the picture when I was in a meeting. Sometimes I missed out on opportunities, and sometimes I was caught on the wrong side of a big change. With the help of one of the excellent Forex robots, you will never be caught on the wrong side of a change, and you can actively study the open and changing market whenever you have time.
4. Forex trends are based in history. Current events, speculation, interest rates and economic policies that effect the balance of trade all contribute to the rise of one currency and the fall of another. Still, the historical trend of a currency helps to determine strategy.
5. Leveraging is available at about 1:100. Leveraging can help you make money, but it can also raise your stress level. Forex robots do not have stress and can continue trading successfully no matter how much money is on the line, or how much risk you have put yourself in. However, we don't recommend engaging in high risk or leveraging beyond what is tolerable for you. Fear is generally counter productive.

If you are interested in getting started, there are two Forex Robots that will put you on autopilot and double your money in a month. They are both excellent at predicting the near future and at following a winning strategy without fear.

FAPTurbo works with all currencies and 95% success. Forex MegaDroid works only in dollars and euros, but also with 95% accuracy.

Either way, there's no reason to put this off, is there? It's the best market to be in now. These two Forex robots both have a history of 95% success and doubling your money in a month. Let history work for you.

The Story of a Kansas Saint?

The Miraculous Case of Chase Kear, and Father Emil Kapaun:





During the Korean War, there was an Army Chaplain: Father Emil Kapaun. He was from Wichita, Kansas, and assigned to the Eighth Cavalry which, in 1951 was overrun by the Chinese in North Korea. During the battle, Fr. Kapaun rescued wounded soldiers from execution until he was taken a prisoner of war. Even then, he continued to tend to the starving and sick among his fellow prisoners. Although none of this was considered a miracle, he stole food for the soldiers, defied guards’ attempts to indoctrinate soldiers and made pots out of roofing tin so they could boil snow for water; water for drinking and for washing their lice infested clothing. All this time, he maintained his practice of faith, prayer, and the rosary, living and exemplary life.

He suffered from a blood clot in his leg which went untreated although he was eventually put in the hospital. He died in May, 1951, two years before the end of the war. Soldiers returning from the POW camps told stories of Kapaun’s heroism and faith. Some claimed he deserved sainthood and the Medal of Honor. Since then, there have been two other cases of reported miracles involving Kapaun, local physicians report. Now, if this is true, Fr. Kapaun is well on his way to qualifying for sainthood.

There are five steps to canonization, or being declared a saint in the Catholic Church. First, a local bishop must initiate the process by collecting evidence from the person’s life and writings that they are especially virtuous. This evidence is sent to the Vatican where a panel of theologians and cardinals in the Congregation for Cause of Saints evaluate the life. If they believe it is warranted, they propose to the pope that he proclaim the candidate “venerable.” At that point, the local bishop among others who knew the candidate, begin looking for evidence of a miracle. The exception is that martyrs who die defending their faith can be beatified without a miracle. Once a second miracle is attributed to the candidate, full sainthood will be confirmed by the pope.

The story of Father Kapaun has been celebrated in Wichita and local parishes have prayed to him for years. The diocese has presented his case to the Vatican for Canonization and the process called beatification has been moving forward. He would be only the third American to be canonized as a saint.

This is where Chase Kear comes in. In October 2008, Chase Kear, a Colwich man, was seriously injured in a pole-vaulting accident. The doctors explained that he cracked his skull from ear to ear. They had little hope for him to survive both the operation (to remove skull fragments) and any infection that would likely occur afterwards. His neurosurgeon, Dr. Raymond Grundmeyer considers Chase’s survival a miracle.

The family organized communal prayers to Fr. Kapaun right away and credit Chase’s complete recovery a few weeks later, to Fr. Kapaun.

On June 21st, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints announced that they would investigate an alleged miracle in Kansas. Andrea Ambrosi will arrive on Friday from the Vatican. He is a lawyer by training and is coming to investigate. Witnesses will be called and data will be collected. This will be an elaborate process. Testimony will be compared as in a court of law.

This collection will go back to the Vatican, and questions will be compiled. There will be a “Devil’s Advocate” who will compile questions, and Fr. Kapaun’s defenders will argue their case. Eventually, when there are no more questions, Fr. Kapaun will be canonized as a saint. Traditionally, no one is canonized until 50 years have lapsed after their death. Fr. Kapaun has already jumped that hurtle.

Action Needed: Public Option Might be Off the Table

This afternoon, Jane Hamsher reports that Rahm Emanuel has privately told Democratic Senators that the public option might be dropped if necessary for bipartisan support! This is wrong and will put all the control back where it is now, in the hands of the millionaires running the insurance industry.

We have to be clear about this. If you want a health plan that will control costs we have to include a public option. Any other plan will put control back in the hands of the insurance industry. They control medical costs (by denying you medications and procedures) but they have no interest in controlling insurance costs because their rewards come from profits, not from your health.

Jane Hamsher at Fire Dog Lake has put together a tool for fighting the Health Insurance Industry. They don't want us to have a public option, and are putting millions of dollars into the fight. All we have is public opinion, and to use this we have to let our Congress people know what we want.

It only takes 40 "no" votes to squash any watered down version without a public option! If we let the most progressive congress people know that is what we want, we might be able to beat the insurance industry.

Remember -- we're asking them to support a public plan that is

1. nationwide,
2. available from day one and
3. answerable to the voters and Congress.

We're asking them to commit to vote against anything that does not have these three features.

That's where the power is -- 40 votes against anything else can keep a bad bill from passing. Visit Fire Dog Lake for the Public Option Whip Count Tool.

There are also some Democrats who have spoken out against the Public Plan Option. Please call or write to them. ( Links are at the Bill Press Show.com. ) They are:

Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)

Senator Tom Carper (D-DE)

Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA)

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)

Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL)

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA)

Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC)

Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND)

Senator Max Baucus (D-MT)

Links are available at the Bill Press Show.com.

Here is the letter I wrote. You are welcome to borrow from it....

Please, Senator Conrad, we need a plan that is nationwide. Smaller states will not have enough members to make a co-operative insurance plan economically feasible. When they are out priced by larger insurance conglomerates, they will disappear. And then we'll be right back here, which is not a good place.

Nationwide, we have more than enough healthy Americans to make a public option pay for itself. Include a reasonable co-payment and the healthy members will support the costs of those who get sick. This is how insurance would work if the CEO's weren't getting million dollar salaries.

Just among my friends, I know two people who were cut off..........(FIll IN YOUR OWN STORY)
...............................................
What happened to his family was fraudulent, but he didn't have the heart or the pocketbook to sue.

When people need health care, they are faced with a moral dilemma, to get fired and go on Medicaid, to commit a crime and go to prison, or, in some states, to go to the Emergency Room and use that for primary health care, or too often they go into debt and end up in bankruptcy.

Americans should not be faced with such choices. We need a public option that is nationwide, available from day 1, and answerable both to Americans and to Congress.

Please vote "No" on any other plan. It would be better to postpone this reform than to do something that is worse than what we have now.

Thank you,
(your name)

Some people already have a public option.
Sometimes it's paid for by taxes, and sometimes it requires a co-pay. Why, I wonder, can't the rest of us have access to it?

The Senate and Congress members all have a public option, paid for by American taxpayers. They know very well that it works. They use it and their families use it. Employees of Veteran's Hospitals around the country have the President's choice model. They can select from an array of health insurers all part of the government program. This is partially paid for by the employee through a reasonable co-pay. It is unlikely that these insurance companies will use Rescission of Coverage when the pool is so large. This is a tactic commonly used against members from small companies or small pools of clients.

Former Governor Dr. Howard Dean speaks eloquently on the public option, and answers all the tough Republican talking points.

As Dr. Dean emphasizes, the AMA doesn't support any plan where doctors are told what to do with their patients -- and this is what we have now! We need a system where doctors can make decisions with their patients, and where people's policies are not canceled when they or someone in their family gets sick.

Dr. Dean answers how the doctor's rates will not be cut with a public option. And, he explains why Kent Conrad's idea of a "co-op" will not work. There are just not enough numbers in small states to provide a cost effective co-op.



You are armed now with logic and sense. Letters/emails or telephone calls will help.... Please click on the link above (Bill Press Show and Public Option Tool), and let them know what you think.

Update on Health Care Reform

Just wanted to update everyone who might not have heard President Obama talk about health care reform this afternoon. Since it's still very much in the works and there is not a finished bill yet in Congress or the Senate, it was the last subject on his agenda.

I took great hope when he said that there would be a public option in the plan for health care reform. But, what was even better, was that he said the private health insurance companies would have to follow certain rules if they wanted to be on the list.

-- They would no longer be able to exclude new patients from access to health insurance because of pre-existing conditions.

This was very exciting to us at Mindbridge, because this makes life so difficult for so many people who either need to change jobs or for those whose company switches providers!

-- We are expecting that Rescission of Coverage from health insurance will no longer be permitted. He said that private health insurance companies would no longer be allowed to serve only the healthy.

This will be important to make the public option affordable. The only way that any insurance works is to spread the risk among many. If the public option were to inherit all the sick people and the private insurance has all the healthy ones, the public option would be way too expensive.

There were questions about the unfairness of the public option. The President scoffed. He said that since the government had been accused of "not being able to do anything right" he found it illogical that the private insurance companies would be complaining that they could not compete.

Yeah for Obama!

Private Health Insurance Companies Insist on the Right to Cancel Your Insurance Policy if You Get Sick:

It's Called Rescission of Coverage...

When a private, for-profit health insurance company denies you coverage simply because you presented them with a big bill or a diagnosis which predicts big bills in the future, they have rescinded, or canceled your policy.

Executives from the 3 largest health insurers Tuesday, June 16th, told federal lawmakers that they would continue to cancel medical coverage for sick policy holders. Both Republicans and Democrats criticized the practice, but the insurers held firm.

This practice has left thousands of Americans without medical insurance at a time when they were facing costly medical bills.

Can anyone explain to me why this is less interesting news today than Senator Boxer's request to be called Senator rather than "Maam"?

WellPoint, Inc, United Health Group and Assurant canceled the coverage of more than 20,000 people, and saved their company more than $300 million in medical claims over a 5 year period. They targeted anyone with a diagnosis of breast cancer, lyphoma, high blood pressure and more than 1,000 other conditions.

Employees terminating these policies were praised in performance reviews. Neither Richard Collins of United Health's Golden Rule Insurance Co., nor Don Hamm, of Assurant Health, nor Brian Sassi of Well Point would commit to limiting rescissions only to fraudulent applications.

Even Republican Representative Michael C. Burgess from Texas said, "No one can defend... the practice of canceling coverage after the fact...."

The insurance executives held that they had the right to use rescission when "insurers ignore the law." Yet, lawmakers had been listening to testimony by many people from around the country who were dropped as soon as it was clear they were going to reduce the company profits -- ie, as soon as they had an illness that would need treatment.

The Los Angeles Times reported these stories:

One nurse from Texas said she lost her coverage after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. -- Her mistake was that she had failed to disclose a single visit to a dermatologist for acne. Additionally, it was found that she had listed her weight incorrectly. She had to cancel her scheduled mastectomy because the hospital wanted a $30,000 deposit. By the time her Representative, Joe Barton, had talked with the president of the insurance company and gotten her coverage reinstated, her tumor had grown from 3 centimeters to 7 centimeters and all the lymph nodes under her arm needed to be removed as well.

The sister of a man who died in Illinois of lymphoma, said his policy was rescinded for failure to report gallstones and a possible aneurysm that his physician had never disclosed to him, although he noted it on his chart.

At Mindbridge, we personally know a local business owner whose daughter died a few years after being born with severe birth defects. She needed a series of operations and after the first two, his health insurance policy was canceled. He was left with the bills. When he inquired about this, he was told that he had left off his application form a single visit to a doctor for "asthma" when he was 10 years old.

The insurance execs protest that they use rescission when they find "fraudulent applications" would be more believable if they found those mistakes or ommissions as often when the family members were all healthy and securely paying their premiums on time, as when the family is in need of health insurance because someone is very ill.

Another Republican from Texas, Representative Joe Barton, said, "...A company has a right to make sure there is no fraudulent information...but if a citizen acts in good faith, we should expect the insurance company that takes their money to act in good faith also."

When the committee chairman asked each executive if his company would commit to immediately stop rescissions except where they could show "intentional fraud" the answer from all three was, "NO."

Representative John Dingell of Michigan responded that this was exactly why we needed a public option for consumers.

CNN reports that when asked whether it bothered him that people were going to die because they insist on reviewing a policy when someone forgot to tell they they had been treated for acne, Hamm replied, "Yes sir, it does...."

This is the Problem with Private Insurance:

Any private company has the right to accept or reject any application for services. The health insurance companies do this based on tables of costs for services for particular diagnoses. This is how they estimate their costs and profits. We can accept that this is a necessary part of doing business. (- And this is a problem we will discuss shortly.)

However, when a person in good faith buys insurance, and they are accepted, they have every right to expect that the "insurance" company is actually going to be there when they need the insurance. Isn't this what insurance means?

If not, then they should call themselves something else, like, "Money Collecting Companies" or "Good Health Companies" so that you would have a clue that they are only going to be there for you when you and your family are "in good health."

But, the other problem is the exclusion that private, for profit insurance companies exercise for pre-existing conditions. This can be used to rescind your policy if you smoked a single cigarette when you were 18 years old, and later develop lung cancer.

This has the effect of keeping a person a slave to whatever company has been paying for their insurance once they develop "a condition." If you happen to lose your job, or worse, if you weren't working at the time that the condition was discovered, you will never qualify for insurance anywhere else. Or, if your employer decides to change carrier companies, all the employees who have been receiving treatment for "conditions" will be ineligible for fairly priced insurance. This can throw you in to the "high risk" pool which is far more expensive.

Without a public option that accepts everyone, these people will either go without medical help, or continue to mortgage homes to pay for needed medical treatment and, too often, end up losing their homes. Until the recent mortgage crisis, this was the most common reason for bankruptcy.

NBC tried to help with explaining the ins and outs of health insurance, but if you listen carefully she suggests asking questions before you sign up, and meeting with your doctor beforehand to go over your medical records. If your employer is offering only one health insurance company, you might just be out of luck.

We at Mindbridge submit that it should not matter whether you smoked one cigarette when you were 18, or whether you were ever treated for acne, or whether you were ever treated for asthma. the pool of people in the United States is so large, that there will always be more than enough healthy people putting money into the system that they aren't using, that we will cover the costs of those who are not so lucky and actually need financial help for their medical bills.

This is why we need a public, single payer, option, and this is why people need to be able to, and ought to switch from their current private, for profit, health insurance companies to the public option without penalty. It will not be cost effective if all the healthy people stay with private insurance companies, and the unhealthy people all end up in the public system.


Lawmakers' Ties to Health Care Industry:



Children with Autism Denied Insurance:



The Complete Story on Single Payer Health Insurance from Bill Moyers:

The Reasons for Alarming Health Costs!

We have to talk about this because the American government is being bombarded, bombed, hounded and harassed by constituents in the "health care insurance" business. We have to talk about this, person to person, without all the hype and politics.

I can't believe that I keep hearing from the "news" shows that we have the best health care in the world, yet when the studies are done, we fair somewhere around Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in infant mortality. This is a slight exaggeration, but according to The British Health Journal, "The United States spends twice as much on health care as a percentage of gross domestic product as other industrialized countries. But the United States is behind the other countries in providing its citizens with good health outcomes, quality of care, access to care, efficiency, and equity, the report concludes."

Well, for twice as much money, we must get something.... Let's look at this report by The Conference Board of Canada. What are our scores?

Report Card:

1 Japan A
2 Switzerland A
3 Sweden B
4 France B
5 Australia B
6 Norway B
7 Italy B
8 Germany B
9 Austria B
10 Canada B
11 Finland B
12 Ireland C
13 Netherlands C
14 U.K. D
15 U.S. D
16 Denmark D


It is notable that the United States got one A, in "self-reported health status". You might realize that this has nothing to do with the health industry. This is simply a measure of our knowledge of health. We know when we are sick. However, we were the only country on the list to get a D in "life expectancy", "premature mortality" and "infant mortality". Denmark and UK have D's in specific diseases. But, no one else has D's for general mortality rates.

Our only B, is in "mortality due to cancer" which means, I think, that statistically speaking, it's better to get cancer than to be overweight or to have high blood pressure or respiratory disease. An unhealthy American is at greater risk of death than an otherwise healthy cancer patient.

Well, we could solve this if we had more competition, couldn't we? Isn't competition the stabilizing and equalizing element in a capitalist system? Yes. So, why are the lobbyists for the insurance industry fighting any talk of a government single payer system? Why do they keep saying that "They don't want the government to come between them and their doctors"?

I don't understand why the news commentators are so happy with a junior college graduate working for the insurance company coming between their doctors and their treatment, but let's look at the salaries of the top insurance companies. I think this it the reason for the intensity of the arguments.

Who would have guessed that they earn more than Major League Baseball players? What does this mean per minute? William McGuire is paid $234 a minute. If he takes 5 minutes to walk to the men's room, and spends 5 minutes in there, we have paid him $2,374.43 to take a piss. This is based on working 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. If he only works a 12 hour day, double the amount to piss -- $4,748.86! If he takes weekends off, McGuire's pee break costs us $6,641. If he takes an hour for lunch, his lunch costs his insurers $39,846.74. This does not improve our health care! I am going to say that again. Paying a man $6,641 to pee does not improve our health!

I don't know about you, but I think the government could do this for less.... Maybe they would need 4 guys to do the work that McGuire does. At $90,000 per person, it would still save us about $124,440,000 per year against United Health Care costs. This is the reason that the "health care" insurance industry is fighting any thought of having a government single payer system.

Whereas Republicans normally speak highly of competition, they do not want any competition in this field. It's no wonder. Any government program that pays it's executives $90,000 a year to administer a government health insurance, is going to win the competition hands down. My goodness, these companies might have to lower their executive compensation to compete!


Shake up Your World View:

It is also worth mentioning, since our auto industry is in such dire straits that Japan, in first place for health outcomes, gives health care to every citizen. Their auto companies, Honda and Toyota, have never had to supply health insurance to their employees or retirees! This has been, as you can imagine, a great savings for them and has helped to make them the most competitive companies in the world. So, when someone complains about the American auto unions, please remind them that the Japanese worker gets the best health care in the world from his government, while General Motors has to pay for the health care of their workers. The playing field is not even.

In China, a family pays a doctor to keep them healthy, so they keep him on a monthly retainer. If anyone in the family gets sick, they stop paying him until they are all well again.... Do you see how this changes things? The health industry in China is really a health industry, where we really have a sick industry. Our medical people are paid when we are unhealthy.... Go ahead, have another cigarette and that Big Mac and support your local health care professional. Just a thought....

Please Put in Your Two Cents!

It was never more important to let your public officials know what you want. Believe me, it is not intuitively obvious to them. There is way too much "stupid talk" clogging the airwaves.

Put in your zip code, and they will give you the names of every State and Federal elected official. Click on any name, and you'll be taken to their record with an opportunity to click again to go to their individual website where there will be another link to click on to email them.

You are on the internet now to be reading this blog. Please, do not put this off. We have thousands of lobbyists paid thousands of dollars to win against our best interests. Support your Congressman and Senator in doing the right thing for you. Write them or call them ASAP. Take back your government.
