Let's Talk About America, President Obama, Socialism and Taxes

The person you give to may then be your friend, perhaps for a life time. I first learned this at the hand of my Great Grandpa who used to give us kids lemon drops when we would visit him. A small thing, but it has been many years and I still vividly remember his thoughtfulness to us. Warren Porter was a family friend who, when I was eleven years old, took me traveling with himself and his aged mother from Minnesota to Alaska, with many interesting points in between.

Universal Health Coverage is Here Now
One problem we all face is paying for medical services with after-tax dollars. This must end for regular insurance (PPO) as it already has for Health Savings Account (HSA) insurance.

You can include prescriptions, tests, hospital care, maternity, non-prescription medicines, bandaids, dental expenses, eye wear and related costs and much more.
