uhm im on tricare. its not really controlled like you say. you can do as my mom does with my dad. he uses medicare first then she pays the rest with blue florida.

my wife can use medicare parts a and b. if she does then tricare will not pay. thats the facts. so yes its same. the goverment regs also apply to tricare and tricare for me has gone down for some reason. but it does follow the same rules as all others under the aca.the goverment may regulate healthcare but it has been doing that since the medicare act of 1968. if a drug isnt paid for by medicare then the so call free market wont pay for it either.

ie for me victoza.fda approved but not paid by medicare nor tricare. so i must pay cash for it.a month supply of it for my wife 328 dollars. the goverment regulates alot of things on cars and has done it since the 60's

i can list them if you like

these are in the newest to the oldest

tire pressure monitor system which went into effect in 07 but in 05 it was started

the onboard diagnostic act number 2

the mandate to switch from r12 to r134

the onborad diagnistic act

the federal vehicle moter vehicle safety act

that last one is why brake fluid is called dot3,4 and 5. dot does stand for Department of Transporation. each of the numbers has a reg and what must the fluid be made off.

it also includes lights, and brakes types used in cars(since 67 all cars must have disc brakes on the front and dual chambered brake master cylinders)

At the checkout conor at wal-mart ... I asked the cashier ... are you all going to go on strike at this store?

She and another employee both said..." oh...noooo ".

Guess they are too afraid to lose their jobs.

No, I do not believe that is the problem. I think that on the whole, no matter how much they may gripe and complain, Walmart workers, as a whole, are not disgruntled. The union will do everything it can to stir up discord, anger and bitterness to achieve it's ends. If I were ever approached by a union person trying to talk to me about this issue, he wouldn't bother me for long, because he would not like what I had to say to him, and he wouldn't feel so good about his union when I was done. The majority of people are not going to walk out because Americans are beginning to learn that the unions are simply bloated entities that don't care any more about the employees than the company that the union is trying to say is so bad without them.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Cobalt , do employees of the Union have to pay dues or some type of fee ?

I use to live in Robertville , Missouri and had a job in St. Louis.

We were with the Union and the workers went on strike ...had to show up on the picketline, in the snow 2 foot deep.

Just curious about the Union.

I worked at WalMart for a couple of years. I had managers that would give me the shifts I wanted, the days off I wanted and when I left in '08 I was making $11.35 an hour which is well above our states minimum wage of $8.75 an hour. I found my store managers and my department managers very easy to work for. Neither I nor anyone I knew at the two stores where I worked were ever asked to work "off the clock". The managers saw to it that I got all the breaks and lunch-time I was entitled to under the law. I was given the opportunity to buy stock and to participate in a company health insurance plan. I agree with what I heard in a news report that these demonstrations have been instigated by labor unions.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
