We are the inversion specialist !
Ergonomic Flex Technology Bed Design to move (flex) with you, accommodating stretches for greater range of motion.

The EP550 Inversion Table
Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Inversion Table rotates on a pivot system. With simple arm movements (rotation is accomplished by shifting the weight of the arms), the table easily rotates to any comfortable angle. The smooth rotation allows for oscillation and intermittent traction. Adjustable roller hinges allow you to pre-select three levels to control the aggressiveness of rotation, and the tether strap allows you to pre-select the maximum angle of inversion. Comfortable ankle clamps hold you securely while inverting.
And you don't need to fully invert to feel the benefits! With the advanced bed design featuring "Flex Technology" (see image right) you can mobilize and stretch while partially inverted for a more effective decompression experience.
Of course, if you decide you'd like to go to full inversion (half of all users do), Teeter Hang Ups offers the most reliable and responsive inversion tables on the market. While at 90°, you can continue to mobilize, stretch, and even perform inverted exercises like sit-ups and squats! The EP-550 securely and easily "locks" in this position and can be released with simple arm movements.
Although most people find the standard ankle clamps on the EP-550 comfortable, some user's may want more support. That's why Teeter offers a way to convert the table for use with Gravity Boots. Be sure to check out the Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Sport, which includes the Adapter Kit (CV Bar and Gravity Boots) plus EZ-Stretch Traction Handles - two great accessories that take the Teeter inversion table to the next level!
The EP-550 Inversion Table folds compactly for storage in a closet, corner or under a bed. Every table comes with an instructional DVD and laminated owner's manual. Comes 85% pre-assembled, with the tools needed to complete assembly.
Innovative Design: Engineers specifically designed the EP-550 to follow the natural curves of the back for a more comfortable and effective inversion experience. New "Flex Technology" allows the table bed to move with you while performing stretches and exercises with ease and precision.
Medical-grade Standards: Backed by independent certification to the strictest standards available, Teeter Hang Ups EP-series inversion tables are Classified as UL 60601-1, Medical Electrical Equipment, part I; General Requirements for Safety in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
Warranty and Guarantees: Teeter Hang Ups five-year warranty exceeds industry standards and is one of the few inversion tables with a 30-day money back guarantee, which allows you to personally evaluate the quality and effectiveness of the unit.
Bed Mat Cover: The "mesh" look is made of a thick, but flexibly, injected molded plastic. The main difference from the nylon mat cover is the plastic is flexible, allowing you mobility for stretching while inverted. This type of cover has eliminated the occasional stain or tear that occured with the F series nylon mat covers and it's much easier to keep clean and will ensure the bed's pristine look for much longer time.

* = The EP550 is "UL listed". UL listed means it has been classified by Underwriter's Laboratories, an independent testing facility. The EP550 was tested under rigorous specification in its extreme fully inverted position. At the 6'6" and 300 lb. capacity, the load was tested with a 400% safety factor. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. is an independent, not-for-profit product safety testing and certification organization. They have tested products for public safety for more than a century.

On a good note, an automotive company has announced they are expanding, which will bring over 600 jobs to my area.
Obamacare is rotten, but not for the reason you gave. It's rotten because it doesn't change anything about the way medicine is practiced in the US. It only proposes to fund it$$$$$ We need to make basic changes to the whole system to get the spending in line. And change is kryptonite to a republican.
All of what you say is true, especially the last. Obama is, compared to past politicians of any kind, a moderate. But the right has branded him a communist so often that they believe they read it in the Bible.
Which must be true, because it was on a website.
I believe in being fiscally conservative, but that doesn't mean we have to pull the rug out from under senior citizens, for example. Tea Partiers are myopic to the point that they can only contemplate their own navels. Tort reform would drop our medical costs substantially; we just need to convince all the lawyers in congress.
This kind of generalization is useless. That's like saying that there are no conservative intellectuals. I bet there is at least one.
In response to:
I'm trying to understand the rationale for not believeing that global warming is happening. If you think that all the people who believe it stand to gain monetarily, that is very far from the truth. I don't see how a person can be concerned about the economic future of our country for our children and not be concerned about the future of the planet.
In response to:
Since Medicare and Medicaid are the largest part of our economic problem, why don't we make at least a perfunctory effort at fixing our medical delivery system instead of just talking about cutting it. Fix it then we won't have to cut it. The trouble with Obamacare is that there are no fixes: just more of the same insurance-driven care. Get the doctors on the right side: we need tort reform. It would fix more than the (mostly lawyers) congress will admit.
This is whatI mean by fear mongering.
Global warming is scarier to people who are not going to be able to move when the water levels start rising. Fear mongering is used by many groups in order to get their issues noticed, but I don't think that scientists have that agenda, in general. They just report their findings and let politicians bicker about what they mean.
In response to:
It is possible to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I'm not sure what an "actual conservative" is, but I fear it involves a good deal of posturing and paranoia.

Use OS X 10.4 on a MacBook that came with 10.5
Even ignoring the other comments, all of which I fully agree with, why on earth would you remove the internal drive of your macbook? if the computer will recognize the external drive as a valid boot drive (which obviously it does if it will boot from it) then all you need to do to get the computer to boot from it is either a) hold down the option key at startup to get the boot disk selector, and choose the external drive, or b) let the computer boot from the internal drive, then go to the startup disk preference pane, select the external drive, and reboot. I'm sorry, but this hint has issues on a number of levels.

Set up your altar, or sacred space as you normally would and bring with you a white candle, a length of thin cord (or thread) ,scissors, a mirror** and some angelica (which is good for removing curses, hexes and spells against you) for burning as incense. You may also add any other protective herbs you wish such as sage, dragon's blood, wormwood etc. Light your candle and take some time to quiet your mind and focus on the outcome you are wanting. Tie the two ends of the cord together so you get a circle and lay it on the mirror**. Envision the cord as the physical embodiment of the spell that is binding you. Add some angelica (and any other herb you choose) to your burner and allow the smoke to encircle you. When you feel the time is right, say these words (or something of your own).
A circle round, this cord was bound and now I do release
This spell unbind, the powers ease and my spirit be at peace.
I'm bound no more, by others will, and negativities.
As I cut this thread, the spell be dead and energies released.
Then cut the cord and feel the binding crumble around you. This can be repeated and the cord cut more times if you feel necessary. Better safe than sorry!! If you are using thread, you can choose to burn it in the candle flame or on the censer with the angelica. You can also bury the cord or destroy it in some other fashion if you wish.
Give yourself some time to sit and allow the angelica (and other herbs) to cleanse you and clear away the negativity. Visualize the binding dissipating and yourself being free from it. Give thanks to the powers that be (or whoever it may be for you) and walk away confident that you are free from and binding spells or hexes. As a final measure allow your candle to burn down and "snuff out" any remaining energy from the spell against you.
**Now the mirror is kind of optional in this. I only suggested it as a way to "reflect" the negative energy of the binding spell back to the one who cast it. This is totally up to you. It can be left out if you so choose.

The Rapids' season ended Wednesday night in front of a raucous crowd at CenturyLink Field when they dropped a 2-0 decision to the Seattle Sounders in the knockout round of the MLS playoffs.
Seattle midfielder Brad Evans was left unmarked near the right corner of the penalty box in the 28th minute and fired a low, hard shot that beat diving Rapids goalkeeper Clint Irwin to the far post, giving Seattle a 1-0 lead. Eddie Johnson added an insurance goal in second-half injury time.

I migrated to a completely wireless setup early last year.Ported my Land Line to a prepaid cell phone Bluetooth-ed to my existing wired phones.So far my costs to replace my 30$/mo no frills POTS have been on average $10/mo, plus I get caller ID and Call waiting(another $10) for free.Same goes for data.. I was paying $55/mo for DSL. But at&t crippled that, so I went wireless on that as well. Saved another stack of money.It's not a perfect solution, limited 4G Data, but I didn't use that much aDSL anyway, plus I've paid for all my upfront costs in about 5 months. The resulting 60$ monthly savings is just music to my ears.In a nutshell, At&t/Verizon is in for a rude awakening, as long as their is some sort of competition. (DBS Sat's, Cable, other wireless providers(Sprint/T-mobile), OTA).These formerly wired incumbents are being lined up for big fall (bankruptcy) as their wireless networking advantages fade and they are forced to compete on services and price without their former guaranteed market subsidies..
If you don't use the internet much it is okay. Software updates alone would drive me way over the caps.
AT&T and Verizon are buying up spectrum... with wires, it's at least possible to run new ones, but you can't create a wireless service without spectrum. Lightsquared was going to lease a bunch of spectrum to new competitors, but they took a huge risk on cheap near-GPS spectrum and got burned.Google tried to get conditions attached to new spectrum leases by bluffing $5 billion dollars, but that only goes so far when Powell was the chairman.
You could build out the wireless without buying the spectrum. You could even do what Clear did before, and lease it. If you know what you're doing a wireless network would work in most cities.

Battlefield 4 is the thirteenth installment in the Battlefield Seriesand is currently being developed by DICE. It is the sequel toBattlefield 3 and will be available for current and next-generation consoles. The game was announced by Frank Gibeau, President ofElectronic Arts.
The story, according to the official Battlefield website, follows American VIPs' evacuation from Shanghai and an American squad, designated Tombstone, struggling to make their way back home. In the 17-minute gameplay trailer released on March 26, 2013, the player is seen engaging Russian special operators, confirmingRussia's return as a faction. In addition, China is confirmed as another faction, as, at the trailer's end, an unidentified caller can be heard going toward the east coast of China. The trailer reveal showcased a campaign mission called "Fishing in Baku," Baku being the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, which lies on the Caspian Sea's coast. A trailer over the mission "Angry Sea" was released, showing "Tombstone" squad escaping from an American aircraft carrier after coming under attack. The game has been revealed to have three different endings that depend on the player's actions.
The year is 2020, and the world is teetering on the edge of chaos. As the conflict between the Russian Federation and the U.S. raged for the past six years, a new storm is brewing in China. Admiral Chang plans to overthrow the current Chinese government; if he is successful, he will have full support from the Russians. To make matters worse, the U.S. has been implicated in the assassination of Jin Jié, China's "future leader and voice of peace." In response to the assassination, Chang has taken this opportunity to cancel elections for a new leader and declares martial law. Civilians protest and clash with the police in the streets, causing turmoil and ruin everywhere. Both U.S. and Russian naval forces have stationed themselves off the coast of China, waiting for the proverbial tinderbox to catch fire and engulf the world in the conflagration of another great war.
Many elements from Battlefield 3 return, such as the same four class system, killcams, as well as increased destruction while many other features from past installments also return. DICE announced at E3 2013 that, as before, current-generation copies of the game will have a limit of 24 players due to hardware restrictions while PCs and next-generation consoles will support up to 64 players. It was also announced that the game would run at 60 FPS on next-gen consoles and that squads would now have a maximum number of five players per squad.Multiplayer progress is transferable between current-gen and next-gen consoles.
All classes featured in the previous installment return in Battlefield 4, although with a few changes. Carbines have become all-kit weapons along with Designated Marksman Rifles (DMRs) and can now be utilized by all classes, as with pistols and shotguns.
- Assault – The class remains largely the same, with a few minor changes. Defibrillators now have a charge time with First Aid Packs also being issued along with 40mm Flashbangs.
- Support – Retains C4 and claymores with its weapons now having an increased suppression effect compared to other classes. It will also be issued an XM25 and a remote controlled mortar for indirect suppressive fire.
- Recon – The Spec Ops Kit play style has returned, with the class now able to utilize C4 and claymores along with the Motion Sensor from Bad Company 2. In addition, the ability to adjust scopes to compensate for distance, also known as Zeroing, has been added. The T-UGS, MAV Micro UAV, and Radio Beacon gadgets also return.
- Engineer – PDWs replace Carbines as the kits primary weapons, so as to emphasize it's close quarters role.
Maps and Gametypes
Battlefield 4 is set to be shipped with a total of ten maps upon its release, all of which will be available on all seven gametypes in the base game. Two of them, Obliteration and Defuse, are new additions to the series, putting further emphasis on team-based play. More maps and gametypes will be added in future expansions.
Assignments return, rewarding players upon meeting certain criteria and completing assignments. Each assignment has three tiers: bronze, silver, and gold.
Upgrade Paths
Upgrade Paths have been introduced, each holding four different Specializations, now collectively known as Field Upgrades, that are progressively unlocked through squad actions in a match. There are a total of 11 paths, with three all-kit paths and each class having two paths unique to them. Battlefield 4 also features over 25 Specializations.
In addition to Russia and the United States, Battlefield 4 sees the return of China, a faction which previously appeared in Battlefield 2. Unlike previous games in the series, Battlefield 4 will now allow server owners, when they rent a server, to choose which factions can fight on which map, as well as which deployment they can use in the map. This means that one map can have battles between the US and China, US and Russia, or even Russia and China, all at the server owner's discretion.
- Levolution – Increased destruction that is based on a level radically changing in gameplay through the player's actions.
- Spectator Mode – A feature new to the Frostbite engine that allows users to view all players in first-person, third-person, or roam the map with a free camera. There is also a "Table Top" view mode, which is essentially a map with every unit spotted.
- Commander Mode – Originally a feature from Battlefield 2, it allows the commander on each team from a overhead view to call in flag specific resources that are gained or lost depending on who has control of the flag.
- Renting Servers – Players will again have the ability to purchase multiplayer servers and customize its settings in a manner similar to Battlefield 3.
- Test Range – A tutorial mode that allows players to practice using weapons and vehicles.
- Vehicle Critical Hit – Replaces the vehicle disable system from Battlefield 3. Upon receiving a critical hit, vehicles will temporarily become disabled for a short amount of time. Vehicles will stay disabled after having only 10% health remaining.
- Peeking Over Cover – Players can now peek over cover while still protected from incoming fire.
The beta is available on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. PC will be able to predownload the beta on September 29, 2013, though the platform is required to have 64-bit hardware to run the beta. Those who pre-ordered Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Battlefield Digital Deluxe edition, or are Battlefield 3 Premium members will gain access to the exclusive beta on October 1st, 2013. It will then be available to everyone else on October 4, 2013 and will end on October 15, 2013. The beta will feature Siege of Shanghai and will be available on Conquest and Domination.

On March 24, 2013, a song in Battlefield 4 titled "Hanna's Theme", composed by Johan Skugge & Jukka Rintamaki, was leaked. Both composers had worked on Battlefield 3's soundtrack.
The novelization of the game, Battlefield 4: Countdown to War, written by Peter Grimsdale, tells the story of a CIAagent named Kovic who's based in Shanghai. Agent Kovic is described as a reliable operative but one whose bosses don't trust, and he's about to make a lot more enemies. According to EA, the book will provide a backstory for Tombstone squad in the game's campaign. It is set to release on October 24, 2013, five days prior to Battlefield 4′s launch date.
- Battlefield 4 has been confirmed to be set in 2020, but will maintain a modern day atmosphere. The confirmed factions are Russia, China, and the United States. It is also to be set in and around China, as well as other parts of Asia.
- The pictures in the title image show the city of Shanghai and a Chinese J-20 fighter jet.
- On March 18, 2013, a seven second teaser was posted, depicting Type 98 tank treads beginning to move, as well as a date (March 27, 2013), which was then confirmed on the website to be when another part of Battlefield 4 was revealed. This was only available to logged-in Origin users, however.
- On March 21, 2013, a fifteen second teaser was posted, depicting some kind of ship turbine. Additionally, an image featuring a burning aircraft carrier was revealed in the Battlefield 4 official website.
- Battlefield 4 is being developed for next-gen consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), and is being scaled down to be compatible for the current generation consoles (Playstation 3 and Xbox 360).
- The key art was leaked in a supposed Battlefield 4 trailer before it was officially released.
- Battlefield 4 is the first game in the series to include gore, as evidenced by the player using his combat knife, through a quick-time event, to cut off an NPC's leg in the gameplay trailer to save him from an exploding UH-1Y Venom.
- This is probably a non-optional choice, as the downed helicopter explodes right after the player finishes cutting the limb off.
- The female soldier, Hanna, was seen at the end of the 17 minute gameplay trailer released on March 27, 2013, alongside what appeared to be an American soldier in the background.
- In the description, it mentions new intense, water-based vehicle combat. Attendees of the March 26 screening events have mentioned jet skis and naval craft being included.
- The Russian special operative soldiers in the 17 minute gameplay trailer appear to based on the Russian Armymultiplayer characters from Battlefield 3. This may simply be a placeholder for future character models.
- The US soldier on the cover art holds what appears to be a Mk14 EBR.
- The primary weapon for Engineers are PDWs despite all official renders depicting Engineers wielding shotguns.
- On the console versions of the beta for Battlefield 4, a short intro is played showing a character (closely resembling the person on the cover art) on an aircraft carrier as the camera zooms out, showing the pilot of a jet flying by. The intro ends with the same character shooting at enemies while sliding down a collapsing building before the start screen is shown.

Adventures with coordinated statements, central banking edition
If six different central banks coordinate a big liquidity operation, you end up with six different press releases, from the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank, the Swiss National Bank, and the Federal Reserve.
All of them start the same way, talking about how they're coordinating action, cutting the interest rate on their liquidity operations by 50bp, and agreeing to provide such operations in each others' currencies, in future, should that become necessary. Think of it as a holiday greetings card from the banks to the market.
And then, underneath the "happy holidays" boilerplate, each individual central bank adds a little personalized note about itself. Here's how the ECB describes what it's going to do:
The ECB will regularly conduct US dollar liquidity-providing operations with a maturity of approximately one week and three months at the new pricing…
In addition, the initial margin for three-month US dollar operations will be reduced from currently 20% to 12%.
This isn't some kind of hypothetical facility, it's a very real injection of cheap liquidity into the European markets, and it is desperately needed.
Across the Channel in London, the Bank of England is saying essentially the same thing: the window's open, fill yer boots!
The Bank will continue its weekly tenders of U.S. dollar funding at fixed interest rates each Wednesday until further notice, with counterparties able to borrow unlimited amounts against eligible collateral.
In Switzerland the SNB is a little more subdued, but in substance identical:
The SNB intends to continue conducting US dollar liquidity-providing repo operations at terms of one week and three months.
The other three central banks, by contrast, all fall over themselves to say that they're just being good global citizens, here, and don't really face any liquidity pressures at home. Yet. Here's Japan:
Financial conditions in Japan have continued to ease and Japanese financial institutions do not face difficulty with funding in foreign currencies. There is, however, a possibility that Japan will be adversely affected, should conditions in global financial markets deteriorate further.
And here's Canada, which goes further still and says that actually, its window is not open right now, but it might open it in future, should it be so inclined.
The Bank of Canada judges that it is not necessary for it to draw or offer operations on any of these swap facilities at this time, but that it is prudent to have these agreements in place. Should these facilities be drawn on, the details of the liquidity facilities provided would depend on the specific market circumstances at the time.
Finally, we have the Fed.
U.S. financial institutions currently do not face difficulty obtaining liquidity in short-term funding markets. However, were conditions to deteriorate, the Federal Reserve has a range of tools available to provide an effective liquidity backstop for such institutions and is prepared to use these tools as needed to support financial stability and to promote the extension of credit to U.S. households and businesses.
The way I read this, the Fed is not actually going to be providing liquidity to the market at the new rates. Europe might be facing a liquidity crunch right now, but the US isn't, and so the Fed is keeping this particular bazooka in its closet for such a time as it becomes necessary to bring it out.
The difference between the ECB and the Fed is, I think, instructive. The Fed has always been willing to provide liquidity to the markets in extremis, and partly as a result banks have up until now been happy to lend to each other. The ECB's status as lender of last resort is much more dubious, however, and so it needs to come out and actually do these things if the market's going to believe that they're real.
Needless to say, this is not a healthy state of affairs. Here's how that Exane BNP Paribas note on liquidity explains it:
Today's announcement strengthens and widens the liquidity channels from the central bank to individual commercial banks; it can't in and of itself get those banks lending to each other again. And we won't be out of the woods, in Europe, unless and until that happens.

Crossing the Global Rubicon:
It is being broadly reported, as we speak, that the Obama administration will NOT allow more US taxpayer money to be used to bail-out European banks, as reported in this very USA Today article:
"And despite Obama's promise to "do our part," Carney said no U.S. taxpayers' funds are needed, even if the International Monetary Fund is called on to help in any bailout."
And YET, this key NYT front-business-page article this morning, says that the US FED WILL contribute millions/billions in 'no interest' money from the US FED window to European Banks:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/01/busine ss/central-banks-move-together-to-ease-d ebt-crisis.html?_r=1&hp
Soooooo, "what we have here is a failure to communicate" … OBAMA's BIG LIE.
Here's my comment to the NYT and USA Today:
Obama promised just yesterday that U.S. citizens could be sure that he would not allow any American funds (that might further peonize them) to be diverted to Europe.
Oh well, another Obama promise made AND BROKEN, but this time in real-time — so fast was the lie that it makes one's head spin.
Best luck and love to Occupy Empire.
Liberty, democracy, justice, and equality
Alan MacDonald
PS. Oh, I know what the confusion is in Obama's apparent bold-faced lie to American citizens. He's actually speaking honestly, but as the faux-Emperor of the world, rather than just the president of our former country —- since what we still consider 'our' country is now the nominal HQ of the disguised corporate/financial/militarist Global EMPIRE, which hides behind the facade of its modernized TWO-Party 'Vichy' sham of faux-democratic and totally illegitimate government — just as an earlier Nazi Empire tried to hide behind its crude and single-party 'Vichy' regime in France c. 1940.
It is now necessary for the global corporatist media to clearly articulate anything Obama says as either coming from the nominal president of the country previously called America, or from the mouth of the First faux-Emperor of the 21st century Global Empire — the real and accomplished Fourth Reich.
alan, copy and paste much?
This appears to be necessary but not sufficient. It gives a big friggin liquidity firehose that banks can access that should also tamp down on currency risk since they can borrow in currencies other than the euro. But it doesn't fix the underlying sovereign debt issue. So, it's a good step but until we find some way to backstop the sovereign debt we're not out of the woods.
Amacd, Obama doesn't control the Fed. He can appoint the chairman and governors, when the current term expires, but they don't report to him. Ben Bernanke, appointed by Bush (and renewed by Obama in a worthless display of bi-partisanship) is chairman of the Fed. Unlike cabinet members, Obama can't fire Bernanke.
In any case, if you think the U.S. economy won't be impacted by a collapse of the european financial system, just look at what the stock market does every time one of their smaller economies appears on the verge of default. As much as so many people don't like it, we're all kind of dependent on others. If you want to change that, get people to stop burning oil and buying Chinese consumer products. and then figure out a way to replace all those U.S. products that foreigners buy ($1.3 trillion in 2010). When they crash, they're not going to have any money to buy our stuff, and it's unlikely China will loan them money to finance imports from the U.S..
Theme song for the day:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U2E-In0D Dg
Felix, you were wrong about the secret loans, THIS is what the lender of last resort looks like.
This is ridiculous.
Its all about US elections.
Then, when Obama is given his 2nd term he can continue the overall plan.
Can't really have a "wackadoodle" in there,(Presidency).
Strreeettcch it out. Just keep the "Melt-Down" over the Horizon.

DIY Industrial Pipe Table Base
Frugal Farmhouse
Like the industrial look of the plumbing pipe shelving here, here, and here? Here's a somewhat heavier version translated for a dining room table:
This project uses off-the-shelf pipes and fittings that are easily found at any big box or neighborhood hardware store. The pieces screw together with no tools whatsoever. Follow the step-by-step how-to, complete with a shopping list, at Frugal Farmhouse.

Love it!
Have been wondering how to have a long, skinny (but cheap) dining table (for up to 25 people!) for the family holiday house and I think this may be it!
I made something similar years ago for the eweekend house I shared with a boyfriend. I used 4X4 cedar posts for the legs and used pipes and flanges as spacers between them (rather than pipes as legs). I made the top out of 3 8X12X1 boards, and attached them to a skirt of 1 X 6s, which was sized to squeeze in between the legs. The top came off the base, then, for easy moving. And I only had to have the wood for the skirt cut -- everything else was off the shelf, standard lengths. Took just a few hours.
pam h
Maybe in another kind of space, like a modern loft. It looks a little too heavy here.
Yeah, it's kinda industrial and loft-y...
...but I still like it alot.
Yes! Awesome!
What about when the wood expands and contracts? Wouldn't it crack the table top eventually? Is there an easy way to keep that from happening?
just made a version of this with my husband yesterday!!! LOVE IT!!! thank you so much for the awesome idea.

As many states consider new cuts to their Medicaid programs to compensate
for larger-than-expected drops in revenue, Massachusetts is celebrating the
decision of federal officials to grant a Medicaid waiver that would allow
broader access to the commonwealth's unique health insurance program.
Massachusetts will be able to expand its first-in-the-nation health care
program because federal officials have agreed to provide a $10.6 billion boost
over the next three years, according to Massachusetts officials.
"This is an exceptional outcome under any circumstances, especially
so now," said Gov. Deval Patrick (D) at a press conference announcing
the Medicaid funding. "The American economy is in turmoil, and the
future is uncertain. But even in tough times, we cannot afford to abandon our
commitment to affordable, accessible, high-quality health care for every man,
woman, and child in the commonwealth. Thanks to this agreement, we can keep
our commitments."
The waiver from Medicaid's standard funding and benefit formula for states
followed months of negotiations between Massachusetts and federal officials.
It will provide Massachusetts with about $2.1 billion more over the next three
years than it received from the federal government three years ago in its last
Medicaid waiver package.
The waiver allows Massachusetts to provide subsidized health insurance to
some residents with incomes higher than would typically be allowed under
traditional Medicaid rules.
The funding boost came as state leaders were scrambling to cover a
substantial budget shortfall.
The agreement with the federal government also allows Massachusetts to
spend $5 billion over the next three years, or about $1 billion more than
previously allowed, on its newly created programs. The amount was $2 billion
less than Massachusetts requested last December, but it was described as
sufficient because enrollment in the expansive Massachusetts health insurance
program has slowed in recent months.
Massachusetts' legislative leaders said the agreement will provide crucial
support for the state's historic health care reform law, which was enacted in
2006 and requires nearly every resident to have coverage (Psychiatric
News, July 4).
"The waiver enables the state to continue to provide good, affordable
health care to families and provides additional funding and flexibility to
build on these early successes in the years to come," said Sen. Edward
Kennedy (D-Mass.) in a written statement. "We've made major progress in
the program's first two years, cutting the number of uninsured in half, and
increasing employer-sponsored coverage."
The Massachusetts insurance program will inform the national health reform
debate in 2009, Kennedy said.
The Massachusetts agreement runs counter to the recent experience of many
other state Medicaid programs in which state officials are fighting with
federal officials for the right to extend subsidized health insurance to
people with incomes higher than is traditionally allowed under Medicaid rules.
Massachusetts is one of the few states to offer Medicaid coverage to residents
with higher incomes than normally allowed by the federal government.
Massachusetts was granted permission to amend its Medicaid program in 2006
to provide subsidized health insurance to individuals making up to 300 percent
of the federal poverty level, or roughly $31,000 for a single person and
$63,600 for a family of four in 2008.
That eligibility standard made thousands more residents eligible for health
coverage that is at least partially subsidized by the federal government. That
provision was renewed under a key part of the recent waiver package.
Over the last two years, the Massachusetts health care insurance law has
moved nearly 440,000 more residents into coverage, about half of whom were
enrolled in employer-sponsored programs. The larger-than-expected number of
residents who are still uninsured, however, led to a $130 million funding gap,
which Massachusetts officials are working to close, in part, through increased
premiums and copayments for residents who receive subsidized coverage.
The commonwealth has put off a plan to require employers to boost the
amount they were paying for their employees' insurance.
