Can Wheel Chair Patients Get Affordable Non-Emergency Transport in Santa Cruz County, CA? ONLY if Medi-CAL eligible

Scheduled for out-patient cancer surgery — but the transport person became suddenly sick — where can  you get affordable,   medical  transport  in Santa Cruz County, CA?  The middle class who work are out of luck. 

What can you get? 

Answer:  CSE Bay Area charges $300. out of pocket for 20 miles of   non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) services. You have to bill your insurance.   

CSE Bay Area is easy to contact by phone to schedule a trip  and  they have a local Santa Cruz area office  831 419 4002.  CSE Bay Area  provided us with excellent, reliable service both ways. They are terribly  expensive.     

We just found out via a phone call that Anthem Blue Cross Supplemental  (which we have  from work)  offers zero benefits for NEMT. Yikes!  

The lucky ones? In Santa Cruz County,   those  who qualify for  MED-I-CAL have access to free  non-emergency transport through Central Coast Alliance 831 430 5500 located in Scotts Valley.   Various  CCA vendors – which provide vans for wheel chairs –  include  Hearts & Hands,  based in Salinas, CA.  

There is help:  American Cancer Society 1-800 227 2345 offers free transport to  appointments and  generally requires  3 day notice. Volunteers provide assistance,  i.e. driving  to and from appointments.  A real person answers the phone. It’s a pleasure talking with them.     

What’s going on? Per usual and has gone on for too many years, the    Democrats in CA continue to offer rich  benefits to  the lower class and  to  newly arrived  illegal aliens who cross  our USA borders. 

For many reasons the middle class in CA has left in droves and continues to do so.   Thanks for one-party rule by Democrats in CA.  

Are there other insurance  sources (since our  Anthem Blue Cross does not) which  offer  non-emergency medical transport  (NEMT)?     We are looking into it.  

  Medi-Care Part B may offer non-emergency transport “if medically necessary”  That’s a possibility.  

  In Santa Cruz, DCD insurance (831 423 8542) offers  health insurance products.  You may contact Pam for a telephone interview.  We are attempting to do so. 

There are a lot of folks who have worked 30 plus years and retired who may need Non-Emergency Medical Transport to their doctors.  And their private insurance plans may not pay for NEMT – non-emergency medical transport.  

Reality in Santa Cruz County & elsewhere:      More and more people are asked to get  medical services  provided in non-hospital settings  by  appointment. Agree?   That is reality.    As people age,  more and more  people require walkers or wheel chairs to get to surgical and other   medical appointments.  At times, family and friends may not be available to transport. 

 Why so few options  for  those who have worked all their adult life – 40 plus years –  and who have  private insurance and Medi-Care and now  must pay hundreds of dollars for transport to medical appointments  which is free for those who may never have worked in the USA?   

Are you someone — or know someone  — who may need Non-Emergency Medical Transport — to go to medical appointments?     What’s your experience?  Share!

JABS are NOT a VACCINE says 9th Circuit Court so STOP mandating “the JAB”?

The COVID vaccine was touted  to  prevent getting it and also stop the spread.   But millions have gotten COVID  and  also spread it to others.  

Our COVID  story: My husband got COVID while in hospital and spread it to me when he came home,  I’d already had two JABS because our esteemed MD wrote a newsletter saying, “ONE million will die….” No more jabs since for either of us.  But  in Aptos, CA two major pharmacies have signs outside saying GET your FREE COVID booster.   Your government wants you to keep getting the JAB.  

So what’s your JAB/ COVID story? Got the JAB  and all  boosters and doing everything government says to do?  In the news:   Maxine Waters got several boosters and now getting treatment for pancreatic cancer. 

The alarm bells are ringing:  more and more deaths are mounting up and more and more serious side effects happening.   Slow in emerging the overall damage from ‘the  JAB’ is relentless.

How CRIPPLE Russia & HELP Ukraine?

Send the kind of missiles which Ukraine really  wants –  long range ones. Biden has said “no” so far. Biden’s ambivalence harms Ukraine.  https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-ukraine-rocket-launcher-black-sea-food-shortage-prices-riot-putin-mariupol-donbas-invasion-war-fighitng-11653940778?mod=opinion_lead_pos1

Offer visas & jobs  to Russian information technology (IT) workers.   About 1.8 million Russians work in IT.   Poland already does so.  Europe and USA can.

Offer to pay  the $500+  fines given to   Russians arrested/ fined  for opposing the  war. in Ukraine.

Free the grain.  All those planes that took thousands of  people out of Afghanistan can be used  to transport grain to Egypt, Africa and elsewhere.  Money goes to farmers to replant in Ukraine and world gets food.

It’s No Longer Democrats vs Republicans its Communism vs Freedom?

Democrat President  Biden uses his pen and mouth to reverse  policies put in place by  Republican President Trump. 

Than includes Afghanistan.   Biden recently reversed Trump’s policy agreements with the Taliban and betrayed   our Afghanistan allies.  Democrat military  leaders had  no EXIT plan in place  before leaving. We all saw people falling from the sky and chaos at the airport.

Some people think that there is no real difference between Democrat politicians and Republicans.

Brian Raney   of Santa Cruz, CA wrote on Facebook  that “there is no significant difference between Democrats and Republicans other than the ideology to which they give lip service.” He further writes,   “The leadership of both parties are fascists and reactionaries. “   Oh, really?

Let’s look at what t Democrat and Republican politicians actually  DO and not just what they SAY.

There are some  HUGE differences between Democrats and Republicans.

Let’s compare two politicians one Republican and one Democrat.  Andrew Cumeo is Governor of New York.  Ron De Santis is Governor of Florida.  Both are regularly in the news because of their policies.

Long time Democrat politiican, Andrew Cumeo  recently resigned.  What policy is   he known for?  Nursing home deaths.   Cumeo  is directly  responsible for the deaths of thousands of nursing home patients. It was his specific policies which he signed  that killed older adults. Protecting life for the elderly  was not and is not  Cumeo’s policy.

Now let’s consider Ron De Santis,  the  Republican Governor of Florida  and a  known  supporter of Republican  President  Donald Trump. What policies is he known for?  DeSantis is known for his  policies with respect to COVID.    DeSantis  sends the  kids back  to school and  supports no mask policies.  DeSantis  recently  set new speech rules for Twitter. DeSantis’ policies support freedoms  for individuals to make decisions for themselves.

Next question:    Are Democrats more supportive of  communism and Republicans more supportive of  freedom?  Yes …

Communism is an ideology  with policies which demand and enforce control of  ALL   human behavior in the interest of the  state.  Religious freedom and worship of God are stamped out by the  communists.

What did Democrat politicians do during the COVID pandemic?   They limited freedom.  Democrat run states such as CA   closed the churches and kept open the Big Box stores.  Materialism was fine for the Democrats.   Go buy stuff  in BIG BOX  stores without wearing  masks was fine. And it was fine to buy alcohol.   But no,  you cannot go to church except under strict regulations.  CA does this as did many other states run by Democrat politicians.

President Biden  — a Democrat –  says 8/18/2021 that  there must be mandatory vaccination and mandatory wearing of masks. He says this though according to JAMA there are randomized studies showing “no significant difference in transmission of flu” comparing those who wear and those who do not wear masks.

The Gold standard science does NOT support mask wearing.  Democrats such as Biden demand mask wearing.  Why?  Control of behavior.  Create and enforce isolation.  Masks prevent people from seeing  highly important non-verbal communication.  Masks spread fear.  Masks separate people.

Back to the question — is there a real difference between Republicans and Democrats?

The Democrats chose the outcome unwinding  in the middle east.  The Democrats run from freedom and support communism  and the  Taliban.   Advanced communication equipment today  is being dismantled and sent over the border to Pakistan.

The terrorists are on the move thanks to Democrat policies.

Tell Biden to secure the Border & give law enforcement tools it needs

See that out of control top line on graph which is  headed upward?  That’s Biden’s illegal aliens flooding the country.

See the gray line at bottom of graph?   That was the number of illegal aliens who came in   under Trump’s administration. Trump  secured the border and gave law enforcement the tools it needed.

from the Daily Wire:  Democrat President Joe Biden’s border crisis significantly worsened during the month of June after nearly 190,000 illegal aliens were apprehended on the U.S. southern border in what was the fifth consecutive month of rising numbers.

“CBP said that 188,829 migrants were encountered at the southern border, an increase from the 180,034 encountered in May,” Fox News reported. “It is also a sharp rise since when President Biden took office — there were 78,442 encounters in January.”

“The number of unaccompanied children encountered increased by 8%, with 15,253 encounters in June compared to 14,137 in May,” the report added. “Encounters of family units, meanwhile, surged by 25% to 55,805 from 44,746 in May.”

Former top Department of Homeland Security officials blasted the Biden administration in response to the latest numbers on its border crisis.

  • Chad Wolf, former Acting DHS Secretary and Heritage visiting fellow, said: “These numbers show that the Biden border crisis is not going to stop until the Biden administration reverses course on its open-borders policies. Recently, an MSNBC host claimed during a conversation with me that the border crisis actually began under the previous administration, a misleading claim on many levels. This unfortunately is the reaction by far too many on the left when challenged about the facts of the Biden border crisis. It’s time to get back to policies that were working: securing our border and giving law enforcement the tools they need. While the mainstream media chooses not to cover the crisis any longer, I can tell you that local and federal law enforcement officers that I have talked to have never seen conditions so dire. I urge all Americans to stand up for our system of law and order. Stand up for our law enforcement and do not become numb to this crisis.”
  • Mark Morgan, former Acting CBP commissioner and Heritage visiting fellow, said: “This month we celebrated our nation’s independence from a government that treated the law as an inconvenience and put the goals of the elites above the interests of the common man and the rule of law itself. In similar fashion, the Biden administration has turned the rule of law on its head in sparking this border crisis. It has willfully advanced policies to open our borders, reinstitute catch-and-release, and create an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration on our southern border. Make no mistake, the Biden administration has sparked a constitutional crisis in pursuit of what it perceives to be a political benefit. At this point, what other logical explanation is there? This is no longer a time just for words—it is a time for action. It is time for the people’s representatives to take meaningful steps to hold this administration accountable for its blatant and willful disregard for our laws. Federal, state, and local leaders should use their considerable authority to thwart this administration’s open-borders agenda at every turn. Texas is already leading the way here, and I’m glad to see other states stepping up to support them. Leaders in Congress are also not powerless. They can withhold funding that is directed only at facilitating the crisis instead of truly stopping it, refuse to approve any nominees who will implement this agenda, and support states forced to respond to the Biden administration’s inaction. It cannot be ‘business as usual’ when the White House is violating its most sacred duty to protect this country. Every point of leverage, whether directly immigration and border-related or not, should be used to force the Biden administration to end this constitutional crisis.”

How to free Cuba? LOON balloons provide Internet & can break Communist firewall

Can Biden muster  the political will to tear down Cuba’s cyberwall?  The Florida Gov. says that he wants to do so. Radio Marti has helped for decades & could be re-tooled.

LOON balloons have been used elsewhere and can open up the Internet so Cubans — who desire freedom from Communist brutality –  can communicate freely with  each other.

The tennis court-sized balloons float 20 km above sea level, twice the altitude of commercial aircraft. On board solar panels power the balloons, which will provide 4G coverage to regions  such as Kenya.  And,hopefully,  possibly Cuba if Biden can muster the political will.

The most likely to do something fast ?  Let’s hope that  the Gov. of Florida will step up to the plate and provide Internet access.  He says he wants to.

Stop wearing a face mask for Covid-19 protection when?

Will you stop wearing a face mask  for Covid-19 protection simply  when you decide?

Or will you  stop wearing  when  certain politicians tell you that  its OK to stop?

Or  will you  stop because Science says that fully vaccinated persons can safely do all normal activities without masks?

Maybe you will stop wearing because you have young children and kids cannot read non-verbal communication when parents’ faces are covered.

Some people  simply stop wearing face masks  because they choose to stop.   For example, In Santa Cruz, California, students of RitaRivera.com -   who teaches restorative motion -  choose not to wear face masks.  Since  2016  Rita Rivera offers Restorative Movement & Dance classes and workshops throughout the county of Santa Cruz, California.     Rita Rivera’s  desire is  to keep the body moving so people  age gracefully.With Covid-19 restrictions easing, Rita Rivera is expanding  classes and workshops in Santa Cruz, CA.

Various protests over  wearing masks have erupted around the USA, e.g., Lee County, Palm Beach county.

The  face mask protest of a fourth grade, 10 year old boy living in Florida  went viral recently. He protested that the rules are not fairly enforced.  The story is covered in depth  5/19/21  by The Epoch Times.  

Recently, a group of GOP lawmakers refused to wear a mask on the House floor.   A fine of $500. can be imposed for the first offense and $2,500 for the next offense.  See The Epoch Times coverage.  

What we do know is that  some  politicians and policy makers (which include  Dr. Fauchi  and Gov. Newsom)   continue to advocate for face masks contrary to what SCIENCE says, i.e., that fully vaccinated persons are free to go back to normal life and do not need to  wear face masks  whether  inside or outside.

Check out the website for the Center for Disease Control which says that all persons fully vaccinated do  not  need to wear face masks. Despite the CDC guidelines,  California Gov. Newsom   requires   face masks for all  California residents  until June 15, 2021.  Gov Newsom  recently signed a $316 million contract for 429 million face masks. A Chinese manufacturer will supply the face masks  to California.

When you see Dr. Fauchi  on television he typically  wears a face mask — even though he is fully vaccinacted. Senator Rand Paul, a medical MD before becoming a politician,  thinks  Dr. Fauchi acts “like an ignoramus” concerning wearing of face masks.

Check the research which says that for over a year i.e., since  March and April of 2020, it’s well documented that  fully vaccinated persons do not infect others and are highly unlikely to become infected.

Per report of the C.D.C., roughly 60% of adults in the USA have received at least ONE dose of the Covid-19 aka CCP  Virus vaccine as of 5/17/21.

As a licensed California  psychologist, I advocate that parents pay close attention to how their children react  to you and others who are  wearing masks.  Look at the research literature as well as what other parents report.   Masks hide non-verbal communication which is critical for children learning language.  Masks promote fear.  Children drop their masks and may be recycling bacteria the dropped masks pick up.   Be careful, parents!

Live in CA & Test POSITIVE for COVID-19 virus. What to do?

What to do when  you test POSITIVE for the  COVID-19 virus aka  the CCP virus?

This post concerns COVID-19 aka the CCP virus   and, in particular,  what’s happening in  Santa Cruz County, California.    For  general information on COVID-19   for Santa Cruz County CA, read the  Good Times  click  HERE.  For  world wide information from  The Epoch Times on COVID-19  aka CCP Virus,  click HERE.

Recently,  on  Santa Cruz California radio station  KSCO (1080 AM)   Psychologist  Cameron Jackson, Ph.D.,  asked   Health official Gail Newel,  MD what medical treatment the County  recommends  for people who test  positive for the  COVID-19 virus.  Dr. Newel  is the  Health Officer  for the county of Santa Cruz, California.  The  question and answer  interview with Dr. Newel  is available in the archives of  KSCO (1080 AM).

Gail Newel,  MD,  replied that people should rest and take lots of liquids.  In response  Dr. Jackson said.  “What you are recommending is what people typically do for the flu.   As you well know,  the CCP virus kills people by the thousands.   And   there are treatment protocols that do work.”

Gail Newel, MD  said there were some medicines are   “in the works”  but  she could not name any specific ones.

In response, psychologist  Dr. Jackson said:  “There are   treatment protocols — such as hydroxychloroquine  coupled with zinc and an antibiotic –  which are available with a prescription.  Zinc can be bought over the counter and the other two require a prescription.”    Dr. Newel replied  that research did not support those medications.  Dr. Jackson disagreed. “Will you read  the research if I send it to you?’ asked Dr. Jackson.

Dr. Gail Newel  is the top health official for Santa Cruz County in California.  In that position, Dr. Newel   makes decisions which affect Santa Cruz county residents in many ways e.g.,  which businesses can open, whether  and at what times people can go to the local beaches s and when  and where  face masks must be worn.

So what should YOU do if you get a POSITIVE diagnosis of COVID-19 aka the  CCP Virus?

For openers, don’t rely on what the Health Officer for  Santa Cruz County has to say.  Dr.. Gail Newel,   Health Officer for Santa Cruz County CA,  has not read the current research which says that persons newly diagnosed (not hospitalized, not on oxygen) can be helped  considerably by a combination of hydroxychloroquine  with zinc and an antibiotic.

What to do?  Get the required prescriptions and do the treatment with the say so of your physician.   Some persons, for example those who take Bystolic (blood pressure medication. ) cannot take hydroxychloroquine.  There’s another medicine typically given for parasites that can be used.

How to stay up to date on COVID-19 aka CCP virus? One excellent source of information is  TheEpochTimes   which has world wide coverage.  California currently leads the world  with 62,701  COVID-19  deaths and 3770,150 cases.

fight BIDEN’s privatization of CENSORSHIP via Facebook & Twitter

Individuals & websites can and must  fight  President BIDEN’s  wrongful  censorship of your  free  speech.  See recent article in the Wall Street Journal, Jan. 30 – 31, 2021.    The Constitution  CAN Crack Section 230. 

The Biden government  has done NOTHING to support first amendment free speech for either   President Trump (permanent suspension  of Trump’s  Twitter account)  or  his 74 million voters (ELECTION FRAUD supposedly did not happen says  Big Tech which repeatedly enforces censorship of viewpoints  by suspension of accounts and removal of posts).

BIDEN — who uses an  Executive Order to  oppose  private prisons — supports  Twitter, Facebook and Google’s privatized censorship via Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act.  These companies use Section 230  to crack down on conservative viewpoints. Standing behind these companies, the GOVERNMENT sets the censorship agenda opposing   anything that Trump or his supporters did.

Information YOU need to know:   The f US Constitution prohibits the federal government from “viewpoint discrimination”  — which is precisely what the BIDEN government is engaged in by using Twitter and Facebook to censor free speech.

The Wall Street Journal says:  “Facebook, Twitter and Google censorship muzzles the electronic public square, distorts political and cultural conversation and limit’s our freedom to sort out the truth for ourselves.”

So what can the ‘little guy and gal’ do about it?  Read another WSJ article The Man Who Drove Game Stop Mania.

What to do?   Akin to those retail investors shaking up the investment world, those 74 million voters for Trump can  and must continue to   shake up politics as usual in Washington D.C.

Diversify.   Get new accounts other than Twitter and Facebook. Parler supposedly will come back.  There’s MeWe and GAB.  Take a look at Rumble for videos.

Try The EPOCH TIMES for a balanced source of news.

Ann Corcoran — says she is dropping Google and no more G-mail account — re-posted what a man who attended the Jan 6 rally has to say. The man was brought in for questioning due to facial recognition that he attended the rally. See Ann’s posts on her blog Frauds, Crooks and Criminals.

Trump DID pull back the curtain and reveal lots of BAD actors.   Don’t forget it.

It’s time for ‘the little guys and gals’ to fight viewpoint discrimination  (forbidden by the USA Constitution) done by Biden’s use of Section 230 to curtail your free speech.

Massive 2020  ELECTION FRAUD  by Biden & Democrats and the  need for ELECTION INTEGRITY going forward are the issues Biden ignores.

What are your thoughts?
