Any tips dealing with health insurance agents
jerrymahoney replied to global expat's topic in Insurance in Thailand
What if they don't have an underwriter? Explaining Reinsurance in Healthcare (Yet) including high-risk individuals negatively impacts companies’ efforts to provide services for all customers. Reinsurance allows providers to balance these needs. Rather than taking on all the risk, they only bear responsibility for a portion, with reinsurers accepting the rest. Why Do Healthcare Providers Need It? Reinsurance in healthcare allows providers to operate without the fear of suddenly taking on more expenses than they can handle. This certainty means more consistent customer premiums, as insurance companies don’t have to raise rates to make up for a substantial loss. Maintaining lower premiums means insurance (and healthcare, by extension) is accessible to more people. https://www.amwins.com/resources-insights/article/explaining-reinsurance-in-healthcare -
This is just a put-on related to the Harris-Kavanaugh hearing when then Sen. Harris had this re abortion any opinion: “Can you think of any laws that give government the power to make decisions about the male body?” she asked. Kavanaugh froze for several seconds before responding, “I'm happy to answer a more specific question.” “Male versus female,” Harris replied. After a back and forth, Kavanaugh told Harris, “I'm not thinking of any right now, senator. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/kamala-harris-brett-kavanaugh/story

Trump Creating a 2 Trillion $ Sovereign Wealth Fund
jerrymahoney replied to save the frogs's topic in Political Soapbox
The fund’s formal name is the Government Pension Fund Global. The fund invests only abroad so that the Norwegian economy does not overheat. About the fund The Government Pension Fund Global was established after Norway discovered oil in the North Sea. The fund was set up to shield the economy from ups and downs in oil revenue. It also serves as a financial reserve and as a long-term savings plan so that both current and future generations of Norway get to benefit from our oil wealth. The fund in brief In 1969, one of the world’s largest offshore oilfields was discovered off Norway. Suddenly we had a lot of oil to sell, and the country’s economy grew dramatically. It was decided early on that revenue from oil and gas should be used cautiously in order to avoid imbalances in the economy. https://www.nbim.no/en/ -

I am not interested in TrustPilot reviews. I only responded to how reinsurance markets work in Nevis. -

From Gemini AI: Captive insurers in Nevis can access reinsurance markets directly, purchasing coverage at wholesale rates. This is because captives are essentially insurance companies. Captives can purchase reinsurance coverage directly from the global reinsurance market. ********* “Since the enactment of the Nevis International Insurance Ordinance, 2004 (NIIO, 2004) and amendments, the jurisdiction has witnessed the steady, consistent growth of Nevis as a credible, regulated and transparent captive domicile in an increasingly competitive environment,” (Derek) Lloyd explained. https://www.captiveinternational.com/us-focus/nevis-continued-evolution -

Convene Grand Juries to Examine the Fraud Against US Taxpayers

If the Trump DOJ wants to convene Federal Grand Juries to try to indict left wing Demos, Washington DC -- where Harris got 90% of the vote in 2024 -- might not be the best venue. Maybe try Amarillo, TX -

Genuine Question - Medicare & Medicaid Overseas

Absolutely. The lawsuit over constitutional or legislative provisions is just what the aggrieved party says it is. And the administration will likely respond that it isn't. -
18JAN 2025 Unauthorized apprehensions at the U.S. southern border have decreased significantly in the past six months — by more than 70% compared with the same period in 2023, according to Customs and Border Protection. The U.S. government attributes the dip to an executive order issued last summer by President Biden that severely restricts asylum requests from migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border with no authorization. Another factor is the implementation of the CBP One app, and experts say the Mexican national guard cracking down on migrants heading north is playing a key role, as well. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/15/nx-s1-5258476/trump-border-crossings-immigration-u-s-mexico

‘I have nothing to do with Project 2025,’ Trump said (10 SEP 2024) 37 ways Project 2025 has shown up in Trump’s executive orders President Donald Trump on the campaign trail last summer disavowed Project 2025, saying he knew nothing about the effort. But many of the conservative blueprint’s ideas have made their way into his early executive orders, signaling the sweeping impact the Heritage Foundation document has already had on the Trump administration’s policy making. https://www.politico.com/interactives/2025/trump-executive-orders-project-2025/

Thailand May Ease Overseas Income Tax Rules Amid Global Changes
jerrymahoney replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I was at a US Embassy meet-and-greet the Ambassador last August. The Amb. said that his staff was fully engaged with the TRD on the remittance tax issue. He also said he has met with Thai officials who want to know how they can better attract the well-heeled US citizens. I mumbled while sitting close enough to the Amb. for him to hear: Taxes? -

Genuine Question - Medicare & Medicaid Overseas
jerrymahoney replied to theblether's topic in Political Soapbox
States File Suit Claiming DOGE Authority Grant Unconstitutional Feb 14, 2025 A coalition of over a dozen state attorneys general filed a lawsuit in Federal court on Feb. 13 against President Trump, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and its leader Elon Musk, accusing them of “unlawful exercise of power” in taking recent actions to invade Federal agencies, access their tech systems, and curtail their operations. The 14 attorneys general – who represent California, New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington – asserted that Musk has “roamed through the Federal government unraveling agencies, accessing sensitive data, and causing mass chaos and confusion for state and local governments, Federal employees, and the American people.” The suit argues that those actions by DOGE and Musk are unconstitutional because President Trump has granted Musk “virtually unchecked authority” without first obtaining the necessary legal authorization from Congress, and without conducting proper oversight of his activities. The states pointed to the Appointments Clause in the Constitution, which they said strengthens the separation of powers by requiring Congress to create an office before the President can appoint someone to head it, and by giving the Senate the right to confirm any nominee to run it. They safeguards, they argued, were violated by the power granted to Musk and his DOGE team by President Trump. https://meritalk.com/articles/states-file-suit-claiming-doge-authority-grant-unconstitutional/
