Kevin Trudeau jailed for not paying $38 million to feds over natural remedies

Posted on by

“The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been after 50-year-old Trudeau, originally from Massachusetts, for several years after he made millions flogging what he claims are natural cures for serious and potentially fatal illnesses.  The ruling at the end of last month was the latest round in more than a decade of legal battles that began with a suit filed by the Federal Trade Commission.  Trudeau was slapped with a $38 million fine in 2011 after allegedly scamming customers for decades. FTC put the value at $37.6million as to how much consumers were defrauded by ‘deceptive infomercials’ that Trudeau filmed in order to plug his book – The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About.”

A Government Database about our Sex Lives: Gee, What Could Go Wrong?

Posted on by

“I don’t like the idea of government bureaucrats having my private information, but what’s probably most worrisome about this Obama Administration scheme is that the data won’t be confidential.  As McCaughey writes, it’s just a matter of time before hackers or incompetent bureaucrats make that information public.  By the way, everything written by McCaughey and Hatch also helps to explain why we should resist privacy-destroying schemes such as the Internet sales tax cartel being pushed by greedy politicians. I know I wouldn’t want all my online purchases in a database where state and local bureaucrats would be able to snoop for details.”

When Penalties are Preferable

Posted on by

“Nearly five in eight Americans polled by ABC News and The Washington Post say they ‘lack the information needed to understand the changes that will take effect as the Affordable Care Act is implemented.’ No surprise with a bill that stretched to 906 pages — plus 20,000 more of associated regulations.  Besides, there’s nothing you can actually do in reaction to these stories. You’re a helpless spectator. Which is why we find the YouTube video much more intriguing… ‘What we’re trying to communicate is, ‘No, you’re actually not required to buy health insurance,’’ says Evan Feinberg. ‘You might have to pay a fine, but that’s going to be cheaper for you and better for you.'”

Pricing Glitch Afflicts Rollout of Online Health Exchanges

Posted on by

“Less than two weeks before the launch of insurance marketplaces created by the federal health overhaul, the government’s software can’t reliably determine how much people need to pay for coverage, according to insurance executives and people familiar with the program.  Government officials and insurers were scrambling to iron out the pricing quirks quickly to avoid alienating the initial wave of consumers.  A failure by consumers to sign up online in the hotly anticipated early days of the ‘exchanges’ is worrisome to insurers, which are counting on enrollees for growth, and to the Obama administration, which made the exchanges a centerpiece of its sweeping health-care legislation.”

Companies Tell Employees to Find Their Own Health Insurance Policies

Posted on by

“Walgreen’s is the latest firm to drop an in-house health insurance plan. It will pay workers a flat rate. Workers will then have to find a decent plan. Workers will soon find how slim the pickings are. This may make insurance companies more competitive. But there is a huge problem. Large companies got low rates because everyone was insured. The law of large numbers took over. High-risk employees were offset by all the low-risk employees. Now each person will be considered as a separate applicant. High-risk people will be identifiable.  Obamacare says that they must get coverage. But will they? We don’t know yet. The health care insurance exchanges are not ready for prime time yet.”

Media Buries Psychiatric Drug Connection to Navy Shooter

Posted on by

“Alexis ‘had been treated since August by the Veterans Administration for his mental problems.’  Alexis also suffered from PTSD, blackouts and anger issues – all of which are treated with SSRI drugs. The most common form of treatment for PTSD is Paroxetine, which is listed as the number 3 top violence-causing drug by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP).  Despite it being reported that prescription drugs were found in the apartment of ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes days after the Aurora massacre, it took nine months to find out exactly what those drugs were. Like Columbine killer Eric Harris, Holmes had been taking Zoloft, another SSRI drug linked with violent outbursts.”

Georgia congressman complains: ‘I’m stuck here making $172,000 a year’

Posted on by

“A Georgia Republican congressman was caught complaining about what he described as a low salary in a closed-door meeting with fellow party members concerning the Affordable Care Act. During a discussion concerning a possible exemption for lawmakers and staff members from taking part in the state health exchanges mandated by the new law, Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) reportedly lamented that aides can become lobbyists ‘and make 500,000 a year. Meanwhile I’m stuck here making $172,000 a year.’  USA Today reported that Gingrey’s net worth is estimated to be between $3 million and $7.6 million, while the median household income in Georgia is $49,736.”

FDA rewrites opioid narcotic labels to limit use for pain

Posted on by

“The new guidelines will not place formal new restrictions on prescriptions by physicians who treat patients for pain, but administration officials announcing the change made clear they hope to chasten physicians who prescribe the medications for anything other than ongoing, intractable pain.  The revision made by the FDA would not just remove ‘moderate pain’ from the agency’s list of approved uses for the medications: It aims to get patients and their physicians to focus not only on levels of pain, but on how long it can be expected to persist and what alternatives exist to relieve it.”

Police Officer Fired for Repeated Use of Taser on Senior With Alzheimer’s

Posted on by

“Doug Martin, an officer in Peru, Ind., had been summoned to Miller’s Merry Manor on June 17, 2012, after a nurse called 911 for help in transporting a patient who had hit his roommate, a nurse and a nursing assistant.  Martin and his partner, Officer Jeremy Brindle, entered the Alzheimer’s ward to find 64-year-old James Howard sitting in a chair, wearing socks and nothing else. Howard refused the officers’ command to lie on a gurney and advanced toward Brindle, who tried to handcuff Howard.  When Brindle lost control of one of Howard’s wrists, Martin yelled ‘Taser’ and deployed it on Howard’s torso. Martin zapped Howard five times for a total of 31 seconds.”
