Americans, you need to demand an emergency recall election for President! If you want to save yourselves, you better get rid of this guy! And don't let your congress and senate tell you it can't be done! Look at how they keep trying to take away your healthcare failure after failure! They don't listen to the will of the American people so you shouldn't listen to them either!
"There's a clear pattern of the administration trying
to undermine and sabotage the Affordable Care Act," said Elizabeth
Hagan, associate director of coverage initiatives for the liberal
advocacy group Families USA. "It's not letting the law fail, it's making
the law fail."

Two companies — McLean, Virginia-based
Cognosante LLC and Falls Church, Virginia-based CSRA Inc. — will no
longer help with the sign-ups following a decision by Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services officials not to renew a final option
year of the vendors' contracts. The contracts, awarded in 2013, were
never meant to be long term, said CMS spokeswoman Jane Norris in an
email.
"These contracts were intended to help CMS
provide temporary, in-person enrollment support during the early years"
of the exchanges, Norris said. Other federally funded help with
enrollment will continue, she said, including a year-round call center
and grant-funded navigator programs. The existing program is "robust"
and "we have the on-the-ground resources necessary" in key cities,
Norris said.
But community advocates expected the vendors'
help for at least another year. "It has our heads spinning about how to
meet the needs in communities," said Inna Rubin of United Way of Metro
Chicago, who helps run an Illinois health access coalition.
CSRA's current $12.8 million contract expires Aug. 29. Cognosante's $9.6 million contract expires the same date.
Together, they assisted 14,500 enrollments,
far less than 1 percent of the 9.2 million people who signed up through
HealthCare.gov, the insurance marketplace serving most states. But some
advocates said the groups focused on the healthy, young adults needed to
keep the insurance markets stable and prices down.
During the most recent open enrollment
period, they operated in the Texas cities of Dallas, Houston, San
Antonio, Austin, McAllen and El Paso; the Florida cities of Miami, Tampa
and Orlando; Atlanta; northern New Jersey; Phoenix; Philadelphia;
Indianapolis; New Orleans; Charlotte, North Carolina; Cleveland and
Chicago.
The insurance exchanges, accessed by
customers through the federal HealthCare.gov or state-run sites, are a
way for people to compare and shop for insurance coverage. The health
law included grant money for community organizations to train people to
help consumers apply for coverage, answer questions and explain
differences between the insurance policies offered.
In Illinois, CSRA hired about a dozen
enrollment workers to supplement a small enrollment workforce already in
the state, Rubin said. The company operated a storefront enrollment
center in a Chicago neighborhood from November through April.
"It was a large room in a retail strip mall
near public transit with stations set up where people could come in and
sit down" with an enrollment worker, Rubin said.
CSRA spokesman Tom Doheny in an email said
the company "is proud of the work we have accomplished under this
contract." He referred other questions to federal officials.
Cognosante worked on enrollment in nine
cities in seven states, according to a June 6 post on the company's
website. The work included helping "more than 15,000 Texas consumers"
and staffing locations "such as public libraries and local business
offices." A Cognosante spokeswoman referred questions to federal
officials.
The health care debate in Congress has many consumers questioning whether "Obamacare" still exists, community advocates said.
"What is the goal of the Trump administration
here? Is it to help people? Or to undermine the Affordable Care Act?"
said Rob Restuccia, executive director of Boston-based Community
Catalyst, a group trying to preserve the health care law.

Teens mock, laugh at drowning disabled Florida man in video
A disabled Florida man drowning in a pond was mocked by a group of
teens who laughed and recorded his final moments on video, authorities
said.
The video, which police called “extremely disturbing,” showed
32-year-old Jamel Dunn screaming for help in the water as the teens
laugh in the background, Florida Today reported.
“Get out the water, you gonna die,” one teen yelled in the video.
“Ain’t nobody fixing to help you, you dumb (expletive),” another one shouted. Eighty beachgoers save Fla. family from drowning
After Dunn’s head disappeared, a teen can be heard saying, “Oh, he just died.”
The teens, ages 14 to 16, then left the area without helping Dunn or calling the police, investigators said.
“He started to struggle and scream for help and they just laughed. They
didn’t call the police,” Cocoa Police Department spokeswoman Yvonne
Martinez told the newspaper.
Now I'm so mad about this OJ Simpson thing that I could chew nails. The evil white establishment has persecuted this man for years, over a murder he didn't committ. He didn't get off, he was INNOCENT inspite of fred goldman's determination to say otherwise. The honkie press has gotten behind this gold digging scuzzbag fred goldman to persecute an innocent man something these honkies in this country seem to like. Injustice committed against Black people is no crime, that's why their honkie kkkops get away with murdering unarmed Black men and terrorizing Black women. Well their day is over. The Good Lord is going to destroy them and the new king of this country is going to pursue these white scumbags to the end of the earth if need be. fred goldman, the new king is going to find the deepest darkest prison cell there is and throw your ass in it til it's time to bring you out dead!!!! If there isn't one out there, one will be built for you!!!!! If you die before the king is able to do this do not worry; your family will do your time for you. ALL OF THEM! The judges and prosecutors who railroaded OJ in nevada, find a hole to hide in; for your next!LApD, I hope none of you have any long term plans; for every last one of you honkie bastards is going to get put on trial for everyone to see; and if you want to know what's going to happen to you afterwards; ask the cia what they orchestrateed in Liberia. There's your answer! God has given the new king carte blanche to do whatever he thinks is right, and making you pay with interest will be in the best interests of justice all around. Sick of you honkie motherfuckers thinking you can do wrong to my people and get away with it! God has left you and a new king will arise and enemies will encircle you and destroy you! Vengeance is coming and YOU WILL PAY WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!!!! You will not get away and you will be put on exhibit for the world to see you god'less bastards suffer! You will dance for our entertainment and pay with blood!
God has left you and you will not get away with this and the many many many many other injustices you are responsible for. And you black collaborators, we know who you are and you will suffer also! The new king is coming soon and Vengeance will follow soon after! God has approved it and it will happen! And the king will have no mercy and no hesitation in doing this!
I know Bill Cosby is claiming victory on his last trial but we know this is not so. They just let this one go before they declared him not guilty which should have been the verdict. Now they have another chance to tighten up their frame against him, like they did O.J. Simpson (I still don't know why O.J. is in jail) and hopefully get a conviction! We all know that just like O.J. Bill Cosby has done nothing! They have no legitimate reason to even have him in trial! These proceedings are so illegal, for an agreement had supposedly been reached and settled years ago that should have prevented this lady from ever being a part of this! She took the money, so why is it she doesn't have to return the money? To the world, look at this and see how racism works in 'the land of the free.' If you are not white look at how you will be treated by the injustice system by the 'land of the free' for were this Jim Carrey or some other white star, the court would have acknowledged the settlement that was reached and threw out the case. But because Bill Cosby is Black and the government and judicial system here is so racist, Mr. Cosby goes to trial even though his lawyers had settled this years ago! This kind of racism and injustice happens too too often here in the 'land of the free.' Unless you're white or come from a country these racist honkies are afraid of (Asians, thank God for China coz' if you look back on the history of the 'land of the free' you'll find that your people were treated the same way until Japan first became a world power, then China. India, the memory of how the british treated you in your own country (Chinese, Laos, Cambpodians, Koreans, and others, don't believe the lies the honkies tell you!!! Remember the treatment you got at the hands of various whitees from european countries!!!) Phillipinos, you're back to fighting for your freedom again as your former President allowed American naval forces back on your lands!!! You should have destroyed those bases immediately when they had to leave the first time!!! Now you're gonna' catch real hell getting rid of these vermin! But to the world, look at how the 'land of the free' committs injustice against non whites as they try an crucify Cosby, and know when the honkies get a chance, you'll be next! This is what you can expect in 'the land of the free' if you're not white! Africans pay close attention coz' a lot of you are coming over here with incredibly stupid ideas. You need to listen to the Black people who have lived here for centuries, rather than the white men who come there and have no reason to tell you the truth!!!
Cosby's
highly-publicised indecent assault trial came to a dramatic close with a
hung jury verdict on June 17, after a jury spent over 50 hours
deliberating the allegations against the former comedian.
The
jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict at the time, telling the
court that they were "deadlocked on all counts", forcing the county
judge to declare a mistrial.
Now, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Cosby has been ordered to be ready for trial once again, with proceedings set to begin on November 6.
Cosby was originally charged
by the Montgomery County district attorney's office with using drugs to
assault Andrea Constand without her consent while she was unconscious.
The
jury heard Constand's recollection that Cosby drugged and sexually
assaulted her at his home back in January 2004 - charges that the
comedian has always strongly denied.
Cosby's
publicist Andrew Wyatt told reporters that his client felt the result
of a hung jury was a "total victory" after a verdict could not be
delivered last month.
"Mr
Cosby's power is back - it's back. It has been restored," Wyatt said.
"The jurors, they used their power to speak. So the legacy didn't go
anywhere, it has been restored."
Cosby's
legal team argued during proceedings that racial bias and unfair media
coverage influenced the jury's perception of the alleged incident going
before the judge.
More
than 60 women have accused Cosby of historic sexuality impropriety
dating back to the mid-1960s, but only Constand's allegations have led
to formal charges. Cosby denies all allegations.
