It Doesn't Have to Be This Way: Obamacare's Troubling Reality
It Doesn’t Have to be This Way: Obamacare’s Troubling Reality Every day Americans are confronted with more bad news about Obamacare. Insurers are leaving the ACA marketplaces, premiums continue to increase, and fewer people are enrolling, which will likely lead to more premium increases. Lawmakers must act because the American people deserve better. Insurers Dropping Out CNBC: Anthem will drop out of Ohio's Obamacare market; 18 counties could be left with no ACA plan Alleigh Marré, spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said “This news is heartbreaking for the millions of Ohioans who depend on access to affordable, high-quality healthcare, and this is a stark reminder that Obamacare is collapsing.” Times Free Press: Most of Tennessee will have only one insurer under Obamacare in 2018 Tennessee Insurance Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak said … "the market remains challenged as most Tennessee consumers will still face limited options and increasing premium prices. WTHR: Anthem, MDwise Pulling Out of Indiana’s Obamacare Exchange in 2018 Both companies cited a “volatile” marketplace filled with “growing uncertainty.” So what’s causing this uncertainty? In one word, Obamacare. The flawed design of Obamacare itself, particularly the flawed individual mandate and the instability of the Cost Sharing Reduction subsidies, written and implemented by Democrats, are causing the volatile marketplace. Declining Enrollment Politico: Nearly 2M Fell Off Obamacare Coverage Rolls Through Mid-March CMS said high costs and lack of affordability were the most common factors individuals cited when asked why they didn't keep their coverage. Obamacare’s actual enrollment has failed to meet projections every single year. -
Palestine and Poland; a Personal Perspective
1 Nationalism in Comparison: Palestine and Poland; A Personal Perspective Gregory P. Rabb Professor of Political Science Jamestown Community College INTRODUCTION Defining and understanding nationalism in general can be difficult when done without referencing a particular nation or people. This paper is an attempt to understand nationalism in a comparative perspective as recommended by Benedict Anderson in his work entitled “Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism” (2016). Mr. Anderson also recommends understanding nationalism by focusing on the western hemisphere (or so called “new world”) rather than analyzing nationalism in the context of the so-called “old world” from a Euro-centric perspective. I am no Benedict Anderson, but I hope I met his recommendation by understanding nationalism from a personal perspective which I will explain shortly. NATIONALISM When introducing these concepts to my students I talk about the nation-state as the way in which we have organized the world since the Treaty of Westphalia-a Euro-centric perspective. The state is the government, however that is organized, and the nation is the people who are held together by any one or more of the following characteristics: common language, religion, history, ethnicity, and/or national identity including a commitment to a certain set of values (e.g. the emphasis on individual rights and the Constitution as our civil religion as seen in the US) and symbols (e.g. the monarchy and currency in the UK and the flag in the US). We then discuss the “stresses” from above, below, and beside (without) which may be heralding the end of the so-called nation-state era. -
United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension
United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension The National Anthem of the United Kingdom is God Save the Queen. It was first performed as a patriotic song in 1745 but only became known as the National Anthem from the beginning of the 19th Century. God Save the Queen represents the whole of the United Kingdom. However, when England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland compete as separate countries in sporting events, they have other national songs. God Save the Queen God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen. Since 2010, England has used the song Jerusalem as their national song at the Commonwealth Games after it won a public poll. The composer, teacher and historian of music Hubert Parry set the short poem ‘And did those feet in ancient time’ by William Blake to his own melody. Jerusalem was written in the Victorian times in the middle of the industrial revolution, a time when many factories were being built and cities were crowded. The words of the song remind people of the beauty of nature and the countryside. It is considered to be England's most popular patriotic song. Page 1 of 5 visit twinkl.com Jerusalem Bring me my bow of burning gold! And did those feet in ancient time Bring me my arrows of desire! Walk upon England's Bring me my spear! mountain green? O clouds, unfold! And was the holy Lamb of God Bring me my chariot of fire! On England's pleasant pastures seen? I will not cease from mental fight, And did the countenance divine Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? Till we have built Jerusalem And was Jerusalem builded here In England's green and In England's green and pleasant land. -

My Country, 'Tis of Thee Introduction
1 My Country, ’Tis of Thee Introduction Samuel Francis Smith was a twenty-four-year-old Baptist seminary student in Massachusetts when he wrote the lyrics of “America (My Country, ’Tis of Thee),” the patriotic song that would serve as an unofficial national anthem for nearly one-hundred years. In 1831, while studying at Andover Theological Seminary, Smith was asked by composer Lowell Mason to translate some German song books. Inspired by one of the German songs— “God Bless Our Native Land” (set to the tune of “God Save the King”)—Smith set out to write an original patriotic song for America set to the same melody. The result was what Smith called “America” and what would eventually be better known as “My Country, ’Tis of Thee.” The song was first performed on July 4, 1831, by a children’s choir in Boston. Smith’s lyrics invoked the history of America—“Land where my fathers died, / Land of the Pilgrims’ Pride, / From every mountain side / Let freedom ring”—as well as its beauty and sense of itself as a blessed land—“I love thy rocks and rills, / Thy woods and templed hills, / My heart with rapture thrills, / Like that above.” “America” soon took on a life of its own, quickly becoming widely known and well loved, and the song served as an unofficial national anthem until the adoption of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1931. In 1864, in the midst of the Civil War, Smith sent a copy of the song to former US Representative J. Wiley Edmands of Massachusetts. -

National Organizations Ltr to NFL Re Anthem Policy.Pdf
Roger Goodell Commissioner National Football League 345 Park Avenue New York, NY 10154 June 18, 2018 Dear Mr. Goodell: The undersigned organizations, each of which is devoted to protecting the full civil and human rights of all Americans, write to strongly object to the National Football League’s coercive new rule requiring players to stand during the national anthem.1 This policy represses peaceful, non- disruptive protest of police violence against unarmed African Americans and other people of color. It is disappointing that a league built on grit and competition lacks the constitution to stomach a call for basic equality and fairness. Kneeling during the anthem seeks to raise awareness of police brutality and violence routinely perpetrated upon unarmed and nonviolent people of color. Even though people of color are only around 37% of the population, they are about 63% of unarmed people killed by the police.2 Police are twice as likely to kill unarmed African Americans as white people.3 African Americans experience physical force or its threat during police encounters up to three times as often as whites; Hispanics up to twice as often.4 Over and over again, our racially-biased criminal justice system causes families of color to mourn loved ones killed and maimed by excessive force. Afterward, this same system routinely fails to hold unreasonably violent officers accountable. The NFL in particular should be better attuned to the ongoing struggle for racial justice. Yet, its own franchise suffers from significant racial disparities. 70% of NFL players are black, yet 75% of head coaches and 100% of team CEOs and Presidents are white men.5 No team has a majority owner who is African American or Hispanic.6 Racially-biased police violence can also threaten players’ safety;7 the recent decision to mandate the silence of players wishing to demonstrate for 1 See, e.g., Kevin Breuninger, NFL bans on-field kneeling during national anthem, CNBC (May 23, 2018), https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/23/nfl-bans-on-field-kneeling-during-the-national-anthem.html. -
National Anthem
National Anthem The Star Spangled Banner Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming; Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming, And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there: Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses; Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more, Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution; No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation; Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! The Star-Spangled Banner" The lyrics come from a poem written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. -
