In other words Kucinich and Paul will develop a financial model that will assure the poor and the working class the best way forward. All the others will continue the current trends of the top 1% getting everything including your grand childrens wealth and your civil liberties CALIFORNIA is Ron Paul’s to win or lose now By pre-announcing a paul Kucinich program we can get the cross overs to defeat the corrupt mediocre establishments politicians like Obama. We need to demonstrate — both laissez faire systems that will eradicate poverty — and Employed owned enterprises , what some would call communitarian models — its not one size fits all . People have choices — it is opt in. But it must be laid out in the next 30 days — and it must have historical proofs, such as in communitarianism the Mayflower, Amana and Oneida and how historical communities achieved greatness. It must be demonstrated that it is a guaranteed success. Once Paul wins the California R-Primary — this model the Libertarian Safety Net & Opportunity Ladder can go on to defeat Obama, Romney Perry and we can capture the white house — and make Jefferson Reagan Martin Luther King and Kennedy all proud. 12) My own approach after thinking about it all my life (davis doesn’t produce anything impetus)was informed by the following : 13) A business focuses on reducing work to achieve the same …

IQ expert Dr. Marion Somers: How to file a long-term care insurance claim
January 27th, 2012
Q: If I buy long-term care insurance, how does the claims process work? Is it similar to the claims process for health insurance?
A: No matter what type of insurance claim is involved, most insurance policies provide reimbursement for costs incurred — the policyholder keeps receipts and submits them to the insurance company for payment. Of course, the insurance company first will determine whether the policyholder meets the benefit eligibility triggers that have been set out in the policy.
| Dr. Marion Somers: In the Long Term |

| Dr. Marion Somers is the author of “Elder Care Made Easier: Doctor Marion’s 10 Steps to Help You Care for an Aging Loved One.” |
When filing a long-term care insurance claim, or any insurance claim, here are some steps you should follow:
• Have a copy of your insurance policy on hand, then call the insurance agent who sold you the policy. Let your agent know that you’re ready to tap into the policy’s benefits and that you’d like to review the policy’s terms.
• Be aware of your policy’s predetermined elimination period. During this time, you may have to pay for expenses out of pocket.
• Remember that all appropriate forms must be filled out before an insurance company will act on your claim.
• Keep in mind that all care providers involved may have to submit their records and documentation.
• Hang on to a copy of all correspondence and documents. Take notes regarding people you’ve spoken to and what they said. Jot down times, dates and contact information.
• Keep the lines of communication open with your insurance agent and insurance company. That way, you know how your claim is progressing and whether all of the requested information has been submitted.
Keep in mind that claims sometimes denied or appealed. Try to stay on top of each step as the claim goes through its various stages. If the customer service is not to your satisfaction, you may want to register a complaint with your state insurance department.
Dr. Marion Somers, Ph.D., has more than 40 years of experience as a geriatric care manager and caregiver, and as an author, speaker and teacher regarding elder care and other elder issues. With the senior generation living longer than ever before, Dr. Marion believes we are on the verge of an “elder care tsunami.” After decades of working directly with seniors and their caregivers, Dr. Marion launched a public effort to provide practical tools, solutions and advice to those struggling with caring for our aging population. She is the author of “Elder Care Made Easier: Doctor Marion’s 10 Steps to Help You Care for an Aging Loved One” and creator of two iPhone apps: Elder411 and Elder911.
