Are_grits_groceries's JournalI found out my options under the ACA.
I waited to try to log in and I did this weekend.
I first found out I would have a credit of $340. Yay!
I was offered over 10 options. The coverage varied, but there were a couple I could afford. There was just one teeny catch. THEY ALL HAD $6000 DEDUCTIBLES. There were Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum plans or as I refer to them: Tin, Aluminum, Brass and Lead.
I am not calling anybody to complain. All has been said about the ACA's faults. I know that a lot of people will have better coverage or coverage period. I could bitch to my RINOs-Representatives-In Name Only.
Those shites and others in their coven are responsible for a lot of the trouble in setting up this program. They have obstructed it at every turn. In addition, the coverage that is available would be better if they had helped or at least done nothing negative. However, some ire has to be aimed at those who put the website together- R.Goldberg Inc.
I am in the same leaky boat I have been bailing out for a long time. In the meantime, those jackasses better not touch Medicare, Social Security, or any other program that benefits people. It is past time to close tax loopholes, cut corporate subsidies and raise taxes on the 1-damn-%. Don't give up one red cent.
I am now waiting for Medicare. I hope Godot isn't driving that bus.
Mavis Batey, Bletchley Park code breaker in World War II, dies at 92
Mavis Batey was a British student of 19, midway through her university course in German Romanticism, when she was recruited for a top-secret assignment during World War II.
“This is going to be an interesting job, Mata Hari, seducing Prussian officers,” she recalled thinking years later. “But I don’t think either my legs or my German were good enough because they sent me to the Government Code and Cipher School.”
In May 1940, Mrs. Batey — then the unmarried Mavis Lever — joined the team of code breakers at Bletchley Park, the British cryptography headquarters. Trained in the enemy’s language and endowed with a facility for words, she became a key contributor to a wartime project that remained classified for decades.
But by the time of her death on Nov. 12 at 92, Mrs. Batey was regarded in England as a national heroine. Working with Alfred Dillwyn “Dilly” Knox and other celebrated code breakers, she learned to decipher what she called the “utter gibberish” of encrypted German communications.
