Readers!

 

My July fund-raising campaign to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary since I began Behind the Black is now over. I want to thank all those who so generously donated or subscribed, especially those who have become regular supporters. I can't do this without your help. I also find it increasingly hard to express how much your support means to me. God bless you all!

 

The donations during this year's campaign were sadly less than previous years, but for this I blame myself. I am tired of begging for money, and so I put up the campaign announcement at the start of the month but had no desire to update it weekly to encourage more donations, as I have done in past years. This lack of begging likely contributed to the drop in donations.

 

No matter. I am here, and here I intend to stay. If you like what I do and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above.


Obamacare causes wait time in California emergency rooms to skyrocket

Finding out what’s in it: Because their doctors are no longer accepting their Obamacare health plans, patients are flocking to emergency rooms in California, thus increasing the average wait time for treatment to five hours.

I think this quote from the article summarizes the situation quite nicely:

California doctor Robert Subers told his local news station he cannot accept some Obamacare insurance because the payments are so low he would end up owing money out of his own pocket for each visit. “If it was supposed to increase access to care, Obamacare, and if it was supposed to bring down healthcare costs, I’m trying to find out where it’s done either,” he said.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Once again proving that govt and economics are bad dance partners.

    The system has been destroyed as per Obamacare to the detriment of the people.

    You can talk to healthcare company’s but you can not sign up for insurance until the enrollment month which is in November. I spoke to a company, OSCAR, in New York, I told them my needs and they said they would send information via email, I received nothing! Previous to that I called them and asked for information and the person on the phone said to me ” just call this number”, the number was not even with their company it was a number that went directly to the state of New York bypassing them totally, without telling me that.

    Since when can you not just buy what it is that you want or need, especially for your own healthcare? Our government has become the enemy of the people, they have unnecessarily (as far as the people are concerned) inserted themselves between the people and their freedoms.

    Their next step is to take over the health care agencies.

    Seeing as they obviously can’t deal with the increased load and the new insurance payment systems.

    You see it would work if only it was administered correctly.

    Its the very same excuse they use when trying to explain that communism works.
    “If it was just administered correctly it would work, its just that so many leaders in communist states end up becoming dictators. And that is not such a bad thing, but they never end up benevolent dictators helping out their fellow citizens, they always end up going bad.”
    “If we were in charge we would do it the right way, just let us prove it to you.”

    Your presidents agenda:

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2014/07/07/obama-skips-border-raises-money-machete

    Let it not be said that your president does not have commitment to what he believes in, he is truly dedicated to his cause. Notice that no one in the media or politics for the most part will not actually plainly say what that cause is. I guess that is the last crumb of respect that they allow the president because he is the president? Or is it something else?
