Coverage Now for Sick Children? Check Fine Print

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/29/health/policy/29health.html

Insurance companies are already arguing that, at least for now, they do not have to provide one of the benefits that the president calls a centerpiece of the law: coverage for certain children with pre-existing conditions.

... Insurers agree that if they provide insurance for a child, they must cover pre-existing conditions. But, they say, the law does not require them to write insurance for the child and it does not guarantee the “availability of coverage” for all until 2014.

...

“The concept that insurance companies would even seek to deny children coverage exemplifies why we fought for this reform,” said Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California and chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, Democrat of West Virginia and chairman of the Senate commerce committee, said: “The ink has not yet dried on the health care reform bill, and already some deplorable health insurance companies are trying to duck away from covering children with pre-existing conditions. This is outrageous.” ...

James O’Keefe, conservative activist, former ACORN non-pimp and employee of Andrew Brietbart, founder of BigGoverment.com and other right-wing Web sites, has reportedly reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, in return for a guilty plea to a misdemeanor. O’Keefe was arrested and charged with a felony of tampering with the telephone system of the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), along with three of his co-conspirators.

On Friday, federal persecutors released a bill of information, charging O’Keefe, 25, and his three conservative cohorts, Stan Dai, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, all 24, with a misdemeanor charge of entering a federal building on false pretenses. The new charges carry a penalty of a maximum prison term of six months and a fine of $5,000. A felony charge could have resulted in a prison term of up to 10 years.

The bill of information detailed O’Keefe’s plot:

http://www.examiner.com/x-21777-Las-Vegas-Democrat-Examiner~y2010m3d28-Tea-Party-of-Nevada-candidate-Scott-Ashjian-to-face-felony-charges

The Clark County District Attorney’s office said it is filling a felony arrest warrant against the Tea Party of Nevada’s candidate for U.S. Senate Mr. Scott Ashjian.

Bernie Zadrowski, head of the Clark County district attorney's office bad check unit, said he would seek an arrest warrant Monday in Las Vegas Justice Court

He is being charged with felony theft and bad check charges in Las Vegas that allege he bounced a $5,000 business check last year.

... Scott Ashjian says he is being set up by the Republican Party, which could be true because they have been fighting tooth and nail to discredit him calling him a fake Tea Party candidate in a fake Tea Party. Other Tea Party groups in Nevada have already denounced his legitimacy

Palin told them "Go ROGUE".

QUOTE: "“Should something violent happen, Republicans know it could further discredit the Tea Party movement, and the conservative outrage that is fueling it, in the eyes of the wider American public. That explains, in part, the preponderance of condemnations now being issued by GOP congressmen, including Boehner, and by grass-roots activists,” reports Fox 31 in Denver, Colorado. ... “These threats are likely coming from rogue, outside sources,” Lesley Hollywood, the director of the Northern Colorado Tea Party, told Fox. The Northern Colorado Tea Party is affiliated with Glenn Beck’s 912 Project."


I would say this is a full confession by FOX NEWZ affiliate, Glenn Beck, Tea Party Hatriots and GOP.

It claims right on the face of it that GOP and Fox have major control over the Tea Party who obediently obeys when orders go out to "cool it" and "rogue elements" still act violently. Palin told them "Go ROGUE".

Federal agents arrested at least seven members of a self-proclaimed Christian militia group in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio over the weekend, according to the FBI and a leader of another militia organization. ... The target of the raid was a group called the Hutaree.

Mike Lackomar, a county leader for the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia, said Hutaree members trained with his organization "on a couple of occasions in years past" but stopped about a year ago.

[The Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia is a member of the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and therefore the ARRESTED HUTAREE have trained with Tea Party Hatriots within the past year.]
