I Have Kaiser And Received A Prescription For Add Medication From A Separate Doctor, I Need Kaiser To Cover It?


This question is much simpler and not as intimidating as the length of the description would lead you to think…
I actually have Attention Deficit Disorder and was diagnosed about 1 month ago. I was referred by a friend of mine to a VERY reputable and well-respected psychiatrist who was in my area and after 2 consulting sessions he diagnosed me and wrote me a prescription for Vyvanse. I made a mistake though because my insurance is with Kaiser and I would need a Kaiser doctor to write my prescription so my insurance can cover the medication. Now I have a prescription from a separate doctor NOT affiliated with Kaiser and this prescription may cost up to $500 since my Kaiser insurance can’t cover it.
Now, is there anyway I can or I should notify my Kaiser doctor of this problem? I have paid good money to the non-Kaiser doctor (Around $700) and now that I have a prescription it will not be covered by my insurance!!
PLEASE HELP! THIS IS A HUGE LOSS FOR ME! ANY THOUGHTS ARE WELCOMED.

Is There A Huge Jump In Those Blaming Bad Economy On Obama?


How many times in the past three years have you heard Obama blame the economic disaster on his predecessor George W. Bush (while continuing to increase deficit spending more per year than Bush did)? Well, Americans are beginning to see through the smoke and mirrors, according to these Rasmussen Reports numbers:
More voters are putting the blame on President Obama’s policies when it comes to today’s still-struggling economy.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 48% still place more blame on the economic recession that began under President George W. Bush, but that ties the lowest finding in nearly three years of tracking. Now, nearly as many (46%) say the current president’s policies are more to blame, the highest finding since August 2010.
“Future surveys will show whether this month’s results indicate a shift in blame or are just statistical noise,” Rasmussen says in its report.
Rasmussen Reports says this was markedly different from the Obama-presidency high of 58% that blamed Bush last month.
Even more interesting? While a plurality of non-affiliated voters still blamed Bush, unions were divided almost 50-50 on who to blame more, with the favorable edge actually going to Bush

Global Footprint,fuel Duty And A Manipulative Government- Is There A Catch?


Whilst I don’t mind the capable drivers of exceeding 70mph and the rich giving more fuel duty to combat the deficit- I have major reservations in all areas of a motorway speed limit increase being abDo you know anything about how the European union and the UK are affiliated and how the Uk have to allocate money to Europe or how Europe allow concessions to the Uk?
I’m presently doing a project for my work based learning and have found so many reasons to oppose considerations regarding an increase of motorway speed limits (live fast die young) – if we are depleting natural resources such as oil- more fuel consumption – then surely we have to ask what the down side is? Our government seem to think the fuel duty is a win win situation for them leaving the average citizen thinking they have won a cocession and can get to work earlier: I am scepticle and believe either Europe will tax us more or will offer us less due to our callousness. If we increase health risks through pollution, increase the risks of fatlities and increase the risks of straining our emergency services- surely this is going to incur us further deficit?
I would like any information you can give- specifiaclly regarding how we are obligated to paying Europe money or how Europe give us concessions regarding our attempts to control our global footprint- CAN you help- please?le to do what the Government expect- I beklieve we are going to incur massive debts simply by increasing our global footprint and depleting natural resources- never mind straining our emergency services- people are predominately older with less reaction speed. please read the following and allow me your knowledge- PLEASE:Do you know anything about how the European union and the UK are affiliated and how the Uk have to allocate money to Europe or how Europe allow concessions to the Uk?

Why Do People Think Ron Paul Is Not Electable? And Why Does The News Try To Hide Him So Much? Seriously?


Obama promised change, but things have stayed exactly the same. Many Democrats are disgusted with him. Some Democrats may vote for him simply because it is their affiliated party. The same goes for Republicans. They too don’t want Obama reelected, but they will vote for candidates due to their party affiliation.
If FOX News or CNN or ANY other news station says a Republican candidate is electable or is “in the lead” *cough* Newt Gingrich *cough*, then the Republicans jump on the bandwagon. They are like sheep – stupid, brainwashed, easily-molded sheep. They don’t know about politics, and if they think they do, most candidates lie anyways. Look at Obama, Bush, Cain, Gingrich, Romney, Perry, and all of the others. There is one man who stands out, though – Ron Paul, possibly the reincarnation of Jesus/Buddha/Allah/The Flying Spaghetti Monster himself.
DRUGS –
Ron Paul does not advocate the legalization of drugs as many think, but rather he wants to give states the choice. This country was founded on state power. The federal government reigns supreme, however. We might as well have King George III as our president. Anyways, drug cartels only exist because drugs are illegal. The War on Drugs OBVIOUSLY doesn’t work with… oh, I don’t know… about 55% of the population supporting the legalization of pot and probably more smoking it? This futile War also strengthens the drugs cartels. Hard choice, right? Obviously, meth, crack, and the like are much more controversial. But weed is causing violence, filling up our prisons, and making us pay taxes.
Do you, dear reader, know how much money our government spends annually to pay for pot-smoking “criminals'” jail sentences? A whopping 7 BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. If we got rid of that, we would forget all about the deficit. What deficit? Exactly <3 One last point in this subject is an excise tax on marijuana, just like on alcohol and cigarettes. This is more cash flow to help with the recession.
VOTES-
Why do so many people think he is unelectable? He has young people's votes, veterans' votes, soldiers' votes, stoners' votes, economists' votes, and many Independent and Democratic votes. Blue Republicans are people that are usually Democrats but are registering Republican ONLY to VOTE for RON PAUL. And oh boy are there a lot of Blue Republicans. Independents would rather vote for Ron Paul than Obama or the mainstream GOP. Speaking of mainstream, why doesn't FOX News, or any other station for that matter, talk about Ron Paul? They say the front-runners are Cain, Romney, and Gingrich, but they fail to mention that Ron Paul is up there with them, actually surpassing Gingrich and Cain and close to Romney. He is winning in Iowa, haven't you heard? If not, then Google "Ron Paul Iowa." I'm sure you'll find plenty of pages on this.
The mainstream do not want him getting attention because the Republicans want a filthy, lying candidate – a candidate that goes against what he advocates.
He has the highest electability among all of the Republican candidates. If Romney runs, how many Democrats or Independents are going to vote for him instead of their own respective parties. If Ron Paul runs, he will get a massive amount of votes from Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, most of which will vote for him ONLY because he is Republican… but no matter. He is the only option.
Any other areas, which there are PLENTY of, people should write about 😛 I don't feel like writing more right now because I have a shitload of college homework to do before finals.
Happy St. Paul's Day :3
