Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year From Stars And Stripes Malta

ObamaCare Demystified

Those who are eligible to apply for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) more popularly known as ObamaCare must do so before December 23rd in order to be covered as from Jan 1st.  Go to https://www.healthcare.gov/ to apply.

This highly controversial legislation was signed into law by President Obama on March 2010. It was subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court on June 2012. Last October's 16-day government shutdown can be attributed almost in its entirety to an impasse about this legislation. The Tea Party faction of the Republican Party demanded that Congress stop health care reform from proceeding by removing funding for it. It failed.

Besides political hurdles, ObamaCare suffered massive technical glitches when it launched. The website was unable to handle the amount of traffic and reports claim that the system had other numerous bugs. Reuters reported on December 14 that around 15,000 enrolment forms filled out by people applying for health insurance were not transmitted properly to insurers.  As a result of this mess, the Chief Information Officer for the agency running the troubled health insurance website resigned.

ObamaCare will go down in history as being an attempt to clear the Hospital’s Emergency Rooms. Before this act, people who could not afford to pay for medical treatment because they had either had no insurance or because they has been refused insurance could only see the inside of a hospital if they were admitted as an emergency case. Millions of ill persons would have to stick it out until their condition was desperate and once they (sadly) go to this state (and still be alive) they would hog the ERs to get treatment.

With ObamaCare people can no longer be denied coverage or treatment because they had been sick in the past or be dropped mid-treatment for making a simple mistake on their application.  Insurers can no longer apply annual or lifetime limits on healthcare. Also ObamaCare practically makes health insurance available to practically everyone.

Immunisation for children is will be free. Young adults can stay on their parent's plan until 26 and improvements related to women’s health such as mammograms and wellness visits are covered automatically.

Another provision of ObamaCare is called the 80/20 Rule, which requires insurance companies to spend at least 80% of insurance premium on health care or improvements to care. If they fail to meet this benchmark, for example by spending excessively on advertising and CEO bonuses they must provide a rebate to their customers.

People who were already covered by health insurance will benefit further.

According to ObamaCareFacs.com, as of 2013 there were around 44 million Americans who were unable to get health insurance.

Government Default = Black Thursday?

Last week I published a short article on the effects of the Government Shutdown. Today I’ll explain what will happen on Thursday 17^th October if congress does not raise the United States of America’s debt ceiling.

Like many other countries (including Malta) the US collects less money than it spends. This has been happening for many years. The US government’s main source of income is federal taxes while its spectrum of spending is wide. Food stamps, Medicaid, the military and the 2.65 million who are employed by the federal government are examples of where income tax money is distributed internally. The US also pays out billions in financial aid to counties such as Egypt, Israel, Pakistan, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines and another 25 countries for “good behaviour”, “good friendship” or military bases. The US is a major contributor to the United Nations, NATO and other international bodies.

Being the most indebted country in the world, the US pays a lot of money in interest on its debt. According to the US Treasury website (http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/ir/ir_expense.htm) more than $415 billion was paid in interest between September 2012 and October 2013.

In order for the government to borrow more money it needs the approval of congress. If congress does not approve this increase the government will run out of money.

Let us imagine that the US government is a person. This person has a family to support. He has a wallet, a bank account, a credit card and a loan. The bank accounts stand at zero, the credit cards are maxed out and a loan payment is due. His wallet is bone dry. This person has a job but the pay cheque will not cover the expenses.

Now think of congress as the Bank that can approve an increase in this person’s loan facilities. If the loan ceiling is increased the person can cover the additional expenses. If not, …

If the US were to default, the financial markets will probably react very badly and we could risk facing another Black day in which stock exchanges spiral out of control as investors see this uncertainty as a sign to pull out of certain markets. Another effect of a default would probably be that rating agencies downgrade the US. This will result in an increase in borrowing costs. Simply put, instead of paying $415 billion in interest the government would have to pay $800 billion for the same amount of money. This is because investors no longer see the US government as a safe place to invest their money and will demand more interest. It is like having negative notches on your credit rating. Once this happens banks will no longer want to loan money and you would have to go to a pay-day lender or, even worse, a loan shark.

A default would result in a weaker dollar. Since most international business is conducted in this currency, countries who already committed to transact in this currency will suffer because of this unexpected change.

Hopefully the President and Congress see sense before damage is done.

Members Unanimously Approve Changes To Stars And Stripes Malta Statute

All registered members of SASM have been asked to indicate whether they want to make fundamental changes to how our not-for-profit organisation functions. The most important change was the introduction of a new Article to our Statute which ensures that every committee member comes up for election every 4 years. It also gives opportunity for aspiring members to come forward and offer their service to SASM as committee members. Members unanimously approved these changes and very soon we will kick off the election process targeted for November.

How to conduct a fair election was one the major issues that had to be dealt with. The global distribution of members required a setup that would be easily accessible by everyone. Since all members have an email address and access to the internet, the committee felt that the most cost-effective solution would be to use an online voting system.

The voting system had to meet certain critical conditions that ensured that elections would be guaranteed fair and that all those who either presented themselves as candidates or who voted would be assured that rigging of the system would be out of the question.

After considerable searching all over the Internet, the solution selected was the one produced by QuestionPro Inc of Seattle, Washington (http://www.QuestionPro.com). Their solution had functions that ensured that the vote would be done securely, ballot stuffing was not possible and that only registered members could participate. Each member received a unique password that only worked with his/her email address. Once the vote was cast the member could not cast his vote again. Another plus for the QuestionPro guys was their online help. Every time we came across a hurdle, a human being was a few clicks away with a solution.

Another cool feature of QuestionPro that made life a lot easier was the ability to control the time the electronic voting boot opened and when it shut.

The committee would like to say a big thank you to all members who voted.

American Association of SMOM to hold Pilgrimage at Ta’ Pinu

Everyone is invited to join the American Association of Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) on Tuesday 10th September at 10am for a Pilgrimage at Ta’ Pinu, Gozo. This event will be led by Mr Pohrer and Mr Christopher Hyland from SMOM. Afterward Mass which will be said by the Bishop of Gozo.

The SMOM also know as the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, Order of Malta or Knights of Malta, is a Roman Catholic lay religious order of, traditionally, a military, chivalrous and noble nature. It is the world's oldest surviving order of chivalry. It is headquartered in Rome.

Why Labor Day

Labor Day is to the US what 1^st of May is to Malta. This year this federal holiday comes at a time when the US economy seems to be picking up. With news of companies like GE, Lenovo and Apple in the process of moving manufacturing back to the US, we sincerely hope that this year’s Labor Day celebrations will mark the beginning of a period of economic recovery during which workers will have decent jobs and their basic right to work is fulfilled.

Labor Day was first proposed as a holiday in 1882. Although it is not universally agreed as to who first suggested it, it came during a time when workers typically worked a twelve hour day, seven days a week and earned just enough money to live a basic lifestyle. Working conditions were awful with no concern for the mental and physical safety of workers. Movies such as Modern Times, Silkwood, Roger & Me, The Grapes of Wrath and Norma Rae should help you appreciate what Labor Day is all about.

The first Labor Day march took place on September 5 1882 in New York. The date was chosen because it was felt that there were no holidays between July 4^th and Thanksgiving. Workers first marched from City Hall to Union Square and then spent an afternoon at Reservoir Park being entertained and listening to speeches asking for an 8 hour day. Initially workers would have had to take an unpaid day off to participate in the holiday. Oregon was the first state to make it a holiday on February 21, 1887 and others soon followed.

In 1894 workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company went on strike following a reduction in wages. President Grover Cleveland sent 12,000 federal troops to Pullman, Chicago and violence erupted. A number of workers died in the clashes that ensued. President Cleveland made Labor Day a federal holiday just six days after the strike ended.

The first Monday of September was retained rather than more widespread International Workers' Day (May 1) because Cleveland was concerned that observance of the latter would be associated with Communists.

Many families today use Labor Day to mark the end of summer.

Improving US Entry Process

US Travel Association is a non-profit organization representing all components of the travel industry. According to this organization, the national and international travel industry generates $1.9 trillion in economic output and supports 14.4 million jobs.

US Travel has setup a website at http://www.travelersvoice.org/ to lobby the Congress to make the visitor entry process into the US simpler and more efficient. This can be achieved by employing more people and by investing in technology that will  make the process of entering the USA quicker.

According to surveys conducted by this organisation:

• One in seven overseas travellers missed a connection because of long delays at customs;
• 100 million overseas travellers are away of the negative experience of others from the inefficient customs and entry process;
• Almost 50% of overseas business travels won't visit the Us because of the cumbersome entry process.

If you are a US citizen and would like lobby to make the processes more efficient go to http://www.travelersvoice.org/. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Contact Congress button in the Get Involved section.

The Malta Railway

If you happen to be in the vicinity of Attard you might want to pop over to the Malta Railway Museum. This mini museum is managed by Nicholas Azzopardi. Malta once had its very own railway running between Rabat and Valletta. Triq il-Linja, Mile End, Il-Gnien ta l-Istazzjon, Old Railway Road, Railway embankment are references to structures and places that relate to the time when the trains were operational.

SASM 3rd Independence Day dinner

SASM 3rd Independence Day dinner that was held, for the third time, at Ta’ Kenuna Bar and Restaurant in Nadur Gozo. There were many individuals who attended for the first time. This is very encouraging.

 

Committee members John Mizzi, Joe Meilak, Joyce Grech and Alan Bonnici together with Mona Vella-Nicholas arrived at the venue before to decorate the place and turn the restaurant into a little bit of the USA. We will let those looking at the photos judge whether we achieved our goal. As in the past, the proceedings kicked off with the singing of the Maltese and US National Anthems. After that the food started being served. In the background, US songs for the occasion could, at times, be heard over the chatter and laughter of those attending.
 

President Alan Bonnici interrupted dessert. In his short speech he thanked all those who had attended as well as those SASM members who, while not present, take an interest in the organization. He stressed that SASM is by members for members and that the occasional email of encouragement from a member would energise the committee to keep going. He also thanked the committee members who volunteer their time to improve and promote SASM. SASM is a not-for-profit organization that thrives on the input of its members and offers services and support to all those who have at heart the continued good relations between Malta and the USA.

Joyce Grech then became the master of ceremonies for the raffle part of the event. A young attendee was selected from the audience (we have a few shy volunteers who refused to be the centre of attention) to pick out the raffle tickets. Thanks to our sponsors many of those attending walk away with a prize.

At the end, those who live in Gozo drove or walked home while those who came from Malta headed for the ferry. Those attendees living in the USA continued their holiday.

Stars and Stripes Malta would like to thank the following organisations and individuals for helping out:

Screenwriting lectures

 The public is invited to attend 3 free lectures on the art of screen writing addressed by 3 visiting lecturers from the University of Southern California David Howard, Martin Daniel and Mary Kate O’Flanagan. 3rd, 4th and 5th July at 19:00.  Attendance is free: Registration is required on imagine@valletta2018.org.

Ben Hecht, an American screenwriter, director and producer, known as the Shakespeare of Hollywood, once said it would be easier to become famous by riding a tricycle than by writing screenplays. On first glance these might not sound like the most encouraging words for those interested in joining the industry.  The reality is that millions of creators are drawn into this world, lured by the glitz and glamour of the red carpet. However, the problem lies with the fact that many who want to write believe they have nothing to learn, that anyone who can string a sentence can become a writer.

Composers study harmony and theories of musical form. Painters study colours and various techniques. Every art form requires a basic understanding of the craft, so does storytelling.  How does one build exciting stories? How does one create exciting characters? How does one structure and plot a tale? How does one build rich scenes? The Valletta 2018 Foundation, together with three lecturers from the University of Southern California, will be helping local professionals and students to develop and strengthen their insight into story. They will be nurturing their capacity to conceive and express characters, to create parts that will whet anyone’s appetite.

Attendees will also be provided with thorough insight into the business and economics of feature film production so that they fully understand the commercial marketplace. David Howard, Martin Daniel and Mary Kate O’Flanagan will be presenting three public talks about the art of screenwriting and story analysis. On each day, a different film will be shown and dissected in great detail. These lectures are mainly aimed at the local film and TV industry talent. However, the general public is also encouraged to attend. Registration on imagine@valletta2018.org.

Events leading to the 4th of July 1776

“The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Letter by John Adams to his wife Abigail (1^st July 1776). 

How could one of the founding fathers of the United States get the date wrong? How could a person who lived through the events of the day, a person who was a key player in the events of the day be two days short on what would be the United States’ most important holiday?

The declaration of independence was not an event that took a few hours on July 4. It was a process that had long been on the minds of our founding fathers.

Here is a brief chronology of events:

June 7, 1776: Richard Henry Lee, a delegate from Virginia, read a resolution before the Continental Congress "that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

June 11, 1776: Consideration of the Lee Resolution was postponed and the Committee of Five made up of John Adams, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston, and Thomas Jefferson was appointed to draft a statement presenting to the world the colonies’ case for independence. Thomas Jefferson drafted it, Adams and Franklin made changes to it.

The Committee of Five

Monday, July 1, 1776: Throughout the day, Congress debated the question of whether or not to declare independence. The debates resulted in a favourable vote 9 to 2 (with 2 abstentions). This majority vote assured that Independence was now an agreed decision.

Tuesday, July 2, 1776: The Lee resolution was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, assembled in Philadelphia. 12 of the 13 colonies (New York abstained) voted in favour. Immediately afterwards, Congress began to consider the Declaration. Congress made some alterations and deletions to it.

Wednesday, July 3, 1776: The Committee of the Whole (an abbreviation of Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union) gave the Declaration a third reading and commenced scrutiny of the precise wording of the proposed text.

Thursday, July 4, 1776: Late in the morning, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed the independence of a new United States of America from Great Britain and its king. The Committee of Five took the final draft of the manuscript to John Dunlap, official printer to the Congress.

Friday, July 5, 1776: In the morning copies printed by John Dunlap were dispatched by members of Congress to various committees, assemblies, and to the commanders of the Continental troops.

Altruism US Style

I would like to share two paragraphs taken from the excellent heart-warming article "Everyday Heroes: They Came Running". The article appeared in the July issue of the US edition of Readers Digest. This article describes a few of the many caring actions by individuals and organisations in the immediate aftermath of the cowardly Boston bombings. I have selected two that struck me:

I'm so proud to be a citizen of such a great nation.

Terror Tremours

Today I was walking with a client and on the way to his office my eye caught a glimpse of a TV. On the ticker I read the words Times Square and terrorist attack in close proximity. As soon as we entered the office I asked my host to excuse me while I fished out my phone and typed the words which had caught my attention in my phone’s search app. It turned out that the ticker did not refer to an event that had taken place but was a press release by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in which he said that the Boston Marathon bombing suspects planned to detonate the rest of their explosives in Times Square. Thank God this disaster was averted.

When I returned back to my office the first thing I did was to call up Wikipedia and after a few clicks I got to a page titled “List of terrorist incidents, January–June 2013” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_January%E2%80%93June_2013. I was taken aback by the fact that between January and April of 2013 (we’re still 2 months short of June) there have been 70 incidents registered as being terrorist attacks. This made me think, although at the end I did not feel any wiser.

Those behind acts of terror will be successful when they instill a fear of others. Many true democracies have embroiled within them the right of their citizens to live a life that guarantees serenity irrespective of their physical appearance and their beliefs provided that their actions do not take away the serenity and like rights of others.

Do democracies mean a good life? No. Millions of Americans are today suffering because of the financial crisis that has pulled down many nations for the past 5 years. Today there are people for whom the basic necessities of live seem to be distancing themselves.

Do democracies mean that everything is all right all the time? No. We live in a society that is more litigious than ever before and issues such as the environment, spending on military and the right of privacy make life a constant battle to protect what one feels is paramount to their well-being and the well-being of the democracy they form part of.

A democracy is that thing which allows us to not fear having an opinion and not fear wanting to better ourselves. More importantly democracies hinder the process of labelling groups of people based on the colour of their skin or the deity they worship. Terror’s main aim is to hack away at this pillar.
It is not easy to tell someone who has lost a loved one or the victim who no longer has a limb that they must be democratic but by collectively holding their hand we can give them the strength and support they need during difficult times.

I am encouraged by the likes of Adrianne Haslet-Davis. The Boston terror attack destroyed nearly every bone and muscle in her left ankle and foot, and both had to be amputated.  Haslet-Davis, who is a dancer, insisted that the injury won't stop her from dancing again. In fact, she said she plans to run the Boston Marathon next year.

Lincoln: The Legacy – special screening and discussion

Euro Media Forum in collaboration with Eden Cinemas and the US Embassy are organising a special screening and discussion that gives an insight into the highlights of Abraham's Lincoln political career. The film Lincoln directed and produced by Steven Spielberg is an American historical drama film that is based in part on Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography of Lincoln and covers the final four months of Lincoln's life. Lincoln was nominated for Seven Golden Globe Awards and twelve Academy Awards.

Speakers from the US Embassy in Malta Thomas M Schmidt and Nathan Austin will delve into the American and European socio-economic and political scenario during which Lincoln became President. The social, economic and political motivations to abolish slavery as well as the necessity of leading a country to war will also be discussed. The discussion will also reflect on Lincoln's influence on today's human rights legislation and leading politicians. Questions from members of the audience are welcome.

Lincoln's special screening will take place at Cinema 11 at Eden Cinemas on the 1st February 2013. The discussion follows the 5.30 p.m. screening. Tickets for the Lincoln special screening and discussion can be bought from www.edencinemas.com.mt.
