Yes. Medicare allows private insurance companies to sell you Medicare Advantage plans and Part D drug plans, but there are rules these plans have to follow about marketing their products to you. A Medicare Advantage Plan is a type of Medicare health plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medi- care to provide you with all your Part A hospital and Part B medical benefits. If you're enrolled in a Medicare Advan- tage Plan, Medicare services are covered through the plan and aren't paid for under Original Medicare. Most Medicare Advantage Plans also offer prescription drug coverage. Medicare plans aren't allowed to call you to enroll you in a plan, unless you specifically ask to be called. Also, plan representatives should never ask you over the phone for financial information, including credit card or bank account numbers. No one should call you without your permission, or come to your home uninvited to sell Medicare products. Call 1-800-MEDICARE to report a plan that does this. Door-to-door calls (cold calls) are prohibited by federal Marketing Guidelines. Sales representatives may not obtain permission from one resident to call on others who live in a housing development, apartment building, or other residen- tial setting in order to market a Medicare Advantage or Part D plan. BEFORE you meet with a sales rep — The agent must get your permission to meet in person and must document the plan options you wish to discuss The agent cannot come to your home without an appointment DURING the meeting, the agent is allowed to — Give you plan materials Tell you how to get more plan information Tell you about the plan options you agreed to discuss Give you an enrollment form Collect your completed enrollment form Leave business cards for you to give to friends and family The agent SHOULD NOT — Tell you about other plan options you have not agreed to discuss, unless you specifically ask about them — you will need to complete a separate appointment form to discuss these options Sell you any products not related to health care, like life insurance Offer you cash (or gifts worth more than $15) Ask for your credit card or banking information Pressure you to join their plan by saying things like, ―you have to join this plan or you won’t have coverage next year‖ Ask you to give names and phone numbers or addresses so that the agent can sell to your friends or family Ask you to sign the enrollment form before you are ready to join — you should only sign the form when you are ready to join AFTER your meeting with an agent (if you joined the plan) — The plan will contact you to make sure that you wanted to join and that you understand the plan’s coverage and rules The agent who helped you join the plan can call you to talk about other plan options If your agent does not follow these rules you can call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to report any problems. Page 4 TOP OF THE HILL ….Listen Up ! Brief news of interest to Bridgewater veterans and their families. Battle of the Bulge….Christmas 1944 On 16 December 1944, the Germans launched the last major offensive of the war, Operation Mist, also known as the Ardennes Offensive and the Battle of the Bulge, an attempt to push the Allied front line west from northern France to northwestern Belgium. The Battle of the Bulge, so-called because the Germans created a "bulge" around the area of the Ardennes forest in pushing through the American defensive line, was the largest fought on the Western front. The Germans threw 250,000 soldiers into the initial assault, 14 German infantry divisions guarded by five panzer divi- sions against a mere 80,000 Americans. Their assault came in early morning at the weakest part of the Allied line, an 80-mile poorly protected stretch of hilly, woody forest (the Allies simply believed the Ardennes too difficult to traverse, and therefore an unlikely location for a German offensive). Between the vulnerability of the thin, isolated American units and the thick fog that prevented Allied air cover from discovering German movement, the Germans were able to push the Americans into retreat. One particularly effective German trick was the use of English-speaking German commandos who infiltrated American lines and, using captured U.S. uniforms, trucks, and jeeps, impersonated U.S. military and sabotaged communica- tions. The ploy caused widespread chaos and suspicion among the American troops as to the identity of fellow sol- diers--even after the ruse was discovered. Even General Omar Bradley himself had to prove his identity three times-- by answering questions about football and Betty Grable--before being allowed to pass a sentry point. The battle raged for three weeks, resulting in a massive loss of American and civilian life. Nazi atrocities abounded, including the murder of 72 American soldiers by SS soldiers in the Ardennes town of Malmedy.

  • The Example of Private Slovik
    The Example of Private Slovik Of the thousands of American soldiers court­martialed for desertion in World War II, Eddie Slovik was the only one put to death. One of the judges who convicted him looks back with regret. by Benedict B. Kimmelman When Private Eddie Slovik was executed on January 31,1945, he became the only American put to death for desertion since Lincoln was President. After his death he became the subject of a book that sold in the millions, numerous magazine articles, a television special, a play or two, and several public campaigns that made his case an issue and still keep it alive. I saw Eddie Slovik for most of one morning, no more, and he never said a word to me. 1 cannot say for certain whether it is his face I remember or a photograph in a magazine article based on William Bradford Huie’s best seller The Execution of Private Slovik. But I sat on Slovik’s court­martial, as one of the nine officer­judges who unanimously voted the death penalty. In August of 1944 Eddie Slovik was a twenty­four­year­old replacement trucked up one day in a group assigned to an infantry line company in France. Encountering shellbursts and heavy fire for the first time, he knew at once that he could never make it on the line. With a buddy he hid out, and on the following day they turned themselves in to Canadian military police who were passing through. Not under arrest, they made themselves generally useful for the next six weeks, until the Canadians returned them to American military control on October 5.

    Death Penalty Cases in WWII Military Courts: Lessons Learned from North Africa and Italy by Professor J. Robert Lilly School of Law [email protected] and Associate Professor J. Michael Thomson Political Science Department [email protected] Northern Kentucky University Highland Heights, KY 41099-6103 A paper presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences March 10-13, 2004.

Lilly and Thomson. While reference to our ideas is encouraged, re-printing or use of data from this paper is prohibited without our express permission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. ABSTRACT This paper continues our investigation surrounding World War II military justice but with a focus on the Mediterranean (MTO) and North African (NATO) Theaters of Operation. This paper will first review the history and background of military justice in America. Then, it will focus on World War II military justice and the lessons learned in the Europe (ETO), most notable in Britain. Then the paper turns to its more immediate focus - the 27 deaths associated with the North African and Italian campaigns. This paper then concludes with lessons learned that may be applied to today’s military justice system. II. HISTORY Current capital punishment literature is overwhelmingly concerned with civilian executions. Overlooked is capital punishment by the non-civilian sector - the military. While the use of capital punishment is rare in military courts in recent years, capital punishment has long been used as a disciplinary tool. Capital punishment is also part of the more inglorious aspects of U.S.

  • Eddie Slovik Was the Only American Executed for Desertion During World War Two
    Eddie Slovik was the only American executed for desertion during World War Two. This week in 1945, a firing squad assembled in the French village of Sainte-Marie- aux-Mines — sont MAH-ree oh MEEN-uh. The firing squad was made up of mem- bers from the U.S. Army during World War Two. But these soldiers were not there to kill anyone from Germany, Japan, or Italy. They were there to kill an American soldier named Edward Slovik. He was the only American to be executed for desertion during World War Two. Eddie Slovik grew up in Detroit, Michigan. His family was poor, and he was not very interested in school. As a kid, Slovik was often in trouble with the law for stealing, drinking, and ruining property. By the time he was 20 years old, he had already been in jail twice. He described himself as a “born loser.” After getting out of jail, Slovik got a job and got married. As an ex-convict, he was not supposed to be drafted into the military. But when the Army needed more people to fight, the rules changed. He was called up to basic training in 1944 and then Private Eddie Slovik was sent to France as part of an infantry unit. The infantry consists of troops that march on foot, rather than travel in vehicles. Slovik arrived during a fierce battle. He and another soldier became separated from their unit. They found a Canadian Military Police unit and stayed with them for several weeks. During this time, Eddie Slovik was reportedly very helpful and polite.

  • A Soldier's Tale a Collaborative Between Students in the School of Theatre, College of Music and School of Dance
    A Soldier's Tale A collaborative between students in the School of Theatre, College of Music and School of Dance Production Description: Igor Stravinsky's famous musical play, A Soldier's Tale (L'Histoire du Soldat), premiered in World War I-era Switzerland as a folk tale about a violin- playing soldier who makes a pact with the devil to receive a book that foretells the future. In an updated version with substituted text by Kurt Vonnegut (but retaining the original score by Stravinsky), this theatrical work which is meant "to be read, played, and danced" is based on the true story of Private Eddie Slovik, a soldier who was drafted into World War II and subsequently became the only American soldier since the Civil War to be executed for desertion; General Eisenhower signed the execution orders. As an exciting collaborative project between students in the School of Theatre, School of Dance, and College of Music at Florida State University, this production will challenge its audiences to consider the folly of war by weighing the price of personal sacrifice against the need for allegiance to one's country. The story comes to life with vibrant contributions in drama, dance, and music, all of which are used to tell this compelling story collaboratively. Performance Details: Performance Dates: Friday and Saturday, January 27th and 28th, 2012 Time: 8:00pm Venue: Opperman Hall * Free admission Production Team: Director: Steven Higginbotham (MFA Candidate in Directing for the Theatre) Choreographer: Jade Treadwell (MFA Candidate in Dance Choreography and Performance) Conductor: Bill Tackett (MM Candidate in Orchestral Conducting) Costume Designer: Christina Marullo (MFA Candidate in Costume Design) Lighting Designer: Luther Frank (BA Candidate in Theatre) Stage Manager: Kat McLeod (BA Candidate in Theatre) .

  • Former Stalingrad) Oblast
    CURRENT SURVEY the Volgograd (former Stalingrad) oblast. In this oblast the number of unsupervised and neglected children has not decreased since 1959. Defi- ciencies are noted in providing employment for 15- and 16-year old adolescents. The Volgograd Executive Committees and Soviets are ordered to work out and to implement measures necessary to prevent the neglect of children and adolescents. The last two sections of the journal deal with reports of cases before the Supreme Courts of the USSR or the Union Republics or the State Arbitration Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/bjc/article/3/2/186/335724 by guest on 25 September 2021 —a department attached to the Council of Ministers of the USSR dealing with legal disputes between state enterprises. EXECUTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES 1961 • TERENCE MORRIS NATIONAL Prisoner Statistics just issued by the United States Department of Justice show that in 1961 the figure for civil executions was the lowest on record since 1930 when statistics were first collected by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. In 1961 twenty whites and twenty-two negroes were executed compared with the 1930 figure of ninety whites and sixty-five negroes. The peak figure of the period was in 1935 when 199 persons, of whom seventy- seven were negroes, suffered the capital penalty. In all states which have retained the death penalty since 1930 the average annual figure of executions has fallen since 1954—in the north-eastern states from twenty-five a year to two, and in the southern states where death is the penalty for rape, from an average of twenty-four a year to eleven.

Dimmick Ionia Juvenile Reformatory Ionia, Michigan January 30, 1945 Dear Mr. Dimmick, When you said you hoped to never see me again, you gave me your address so I could write and tell you how I’m doing. I wrote it down in the little book I been carrying for a year ever since they put me in the army. But I never got around to writing to you until the verdict came down and they started moving me around trying to figure out where to do it. I guess I was waiting for things to get better so you wouldn’t be disappointed in me, but they only got worse, so here I am finally writing, just in time to make you feel bad, because now you’ll really feel like I let you down. I just want to make you feel not so bad. I want to tell you that I tried real hard and for more than a year you’d of been proud of me. I didn’t break my word to you. They broke their word, they took me after they said they didn’t want me, 4F they said, no use to the army, then all of a sudden I was 1A. After they took me, the only letters I wrote were to Antoinette. Oh, and the one to General Eisenhower. He never answered, but Antoinette answered near all of my letters.
