INSIDE
UCO President David Israel says revised RFP (on computer screen) means universal internet access throughout Century
Village is nearing reality.
On May 1, 2014, a revised WiFi Request for Proposal (RFP) was
released to ten providers with the
push of a buttonthus is the nature
of communications in the Cyber age.
This event was covered by the UCO
Reporter at the UCO office. This RFP
has been uploaded to the Cloud, and
may be read by all at the following
URL: http://goo.gl/SC5sRP
There are projects on UCOs
and WPRFs agenda which, from
operational and financial necessity,
will require a robust campus-wide WiFi network. What are these projects
that encompass both recreational
facility improvements and security
improvements?
Deployment of Security
Cameras at Our Gates
Secondly, UCO is in the early
stages of deploying security cameras
both at our gates AND according to
a plan developed by the Palm Beach
County Sheriffs Office (PBSO). This
plan calls for the initial deployment
of some 20 high-resolution cameras
at critical points around the Village.
The cameras will generate data rates
of many millions of bits per second,
which will be monitored in real time,
to detect and interdict emergency
and criminal activity. This will also

For someone to bully, threaten and

EDITORIAL POLICY
Correction:
In May 2014 UCO Reporter under pictures of Sailing Club, caption should have
read: Mentoring and assisting at the dock is Bill Kallman (not Bernie Abbott).
The UCO Reporter promises to continue its long held beliefs that this
publication will print articles to inform our residents of the important issues
concerning our Village. We promise to seek the truth and to print both sides
of an issue, to open dialogue to inform our readers, not to create controversy.
We promise to listen to your concerns and to treat all our residents with
courtesy and respect. Your opinion is valuable to us and will be considered in
our decision for publication. These are the criteria for publication:
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Letters to the Editor should be limited to 250
words, and must be e-mailed (ucoreporterwpb@gmail.com) to the Reporter
by the 7th of the month prior to publication. Your opinions are important to
us, but please refrain from gossip, innuendo, nasty or inflammatory remarks.
Letters deemed to be inappropriate, inflammatory or libelous will be returned
by the Staff for revision or removal. All letters must include the name, address
and phone number of the author. No letters from UCO Reporter staff will be
published. They may however have the opportunity to submit an opinion
article also limited to 250 words.
ARTICLES: Articles for inclusion should be limited to 500 words, e-mailed
(ucoreporterwpb@gmail.com) to the Reporter by the 7th of the month of
publication. All articles will be limited to one per writer. The topic of your
article is of your choosing, but the Staff has the discretion to edit it with your
approval or reject it based on the above stipulations. All articles must include
the name, address and phone number of the author.
Are We a Resort or
Retirement Community?
For some time now, it is known that
a particular individual has acquired
several units in one Association.
He now controls The Board of
Directors and avoids the Bed Tax
(Chapter 718 - Fla Statutes) by issuing
leases for six (6) months and one (1)
day.
During that period, not only do a
variety of individuals occupy a unit
(some as young as under 30 yrs. of
age) but for a period of perhaps two
(2) to three (3) weeks.
Re-renting the same unit over
and over again: apparently, he has
"assistance" from some residents
in accomplishing his goals for
example,
accompanying
those
vacationers to WPRF in order for
them to secure a Guest Pass so they
may avail themselves of the facilities.
He has as well assisted other
owners in renting their unoccupied
units using these in the same fashion
for considerable sums of monies. One
of his units is now being used as an
office.
When will this travesty end? Our
security is at risk. These individuals
may have criminal intents, we do
not know. Think of your fellow
Unit Owners and residents before
becoming involved in a situation
such as this, as well as making every
effort to eliminate this practice.
Limit the amount of units one can
own in your Association to prevent
this abomination.
Different Definition of
"Contingency Fees"
If you were giving out gold bars
in Century Village, there are people
here
that would ONLY accept
silver bars. On April 2, 2014, the
"silver bar group" (a.k.a. Messenger
Club) had a townhall meeting on
cracks and floods on some CV
roadways.
There were three people on
the podium two Attorneys and
Mr. Grossman. After a slide show,
one Attorney made reference to
Mr. Grossman's pro se case. The
Attorney was willing to take the case
for contingency fees. The
Black's Law Dictionary defines
contingency fees:
"Arrangement
between attorney and client
whereby attorney agrees to represent
client with compensation to be a
percentage of the amount recovered;
e.g., 25% if case is settled, 30% if case
goes to trial."
However, the Attorney needed
$10,000 to $20,000 as his retainer
with upward to $100,000 in legal
Response to Barbara
Cornish Letter
In response to Barbara Cornishs
letter: When the decision for the
hibiscus plants were made at the
Haverhill entrance the chair of the
bid committee at that time was with
me. The overseer of the committee
was also aware of what our decision
was. He did not see a problem because
the money was in the beautification
budget. We had two proposals and
we accepted the proposal that was
for less money. Marcia Ziccardy,

Beware of Discrimination by
Your Building Association
BY RUTH BERNHARD
A very interesting and worthwhile
program regarding the pitfalls of
discrimination and fair housing
regarding dogs was held in our
clubhouse theater on April 11 by the
office of Becker & Poliakoff. Mark D.
Friedman and his associate attorney
spoke at length on how associations
should conduct themselves to avoid the
OEO (Office of Equal Opportunity)
that takes a dim view of discriminatory
practices. The correct references when
referring to buyers and renters can save
the association thousands of dollars in
lawsuits.
To
avoid
the
pitfalls
of
discrimination, avoid questions or
making comments regarding color,
religion, national origin, sex, disability/
handicap,, familial status, sexual
orientation, age, marital status and
gender identity or expression. The
only safe way to refer to persons being
considered for building occupancy is
the prospective buyer" or "prospective
renter. No other reference such as
Canadian, African-American, Spanish,
person of color, etc. should be made. All
may be considered discriminatory and
can lead to expensive lawsuits which
building insurance companies frown
upon and will not entertain monetary
claims. A new law is in the works which
will allow boards to question whether or
not persons have served criminal time
and when enacted, this will become
part of future association documents.
Do not simply deny requests, but
rather engage in an interactive process
and attempt to accommodate. Never
request documentation not allowed
under the law and always resolve
problems expeditiously.
I believe that association boards
are aware that interviews may be held

Cleaning Up Haverhill
BY LANNY HOWE
For yearsfor those of us who
remember himHaskell Morin
took it upon himself to spruce
up the Village in various ways.
When the stripes on some of
our roads became badly faded,
Haskell would block off a portion
of a road and repaint the stripes,
removing his sawhorses when the
paint had dried. He also picked
up the trash on the grass on our
side of Haverhill Road between
Community Drive and the
Village entrance. That stretch of

BROKER/REALTOR
These days, real estate is complicated. Thats why you need a rst rate realtor at your side. But not all
realtors are alike. Some are big brand name companies. But in their bigness, something is often missing.
Its the personal service you need and deserve from every professional in your life: your doctor, your lawyer,
and now just as much, your realtor. Just One Realty, founded and owned by longtime Century
Village resident Max Liebman, provides that one on one service.

My History
First, a few facts about me: I was
born on August 22, 2011, and started
my career at PBKC (which I call home)
under the watchful eyes of Norm
Rader and his wife, Yong. I race for
their kennel, Rader Racing Kennel.
My first race was on February 24,
2013 and I have been racing ever since
then with a few weeks off when my
trainers have realized I needed some
downtime. This schedule seems to be
working, because after winning the

include cleaning cages, walking
dogs, replenishing food, water and
blankets. Also needed are cat lovers to
provide the same care in the cat runs.
In both instances, it is also necessary
to spend time with the animals and
allow them to feel human love and
compassion.
Also needed is a photographer
to take photos of the animals to be
placed on the website to help locating
forever homes. Along with the photos,
there needs to be a good description
of the animal, not just a physical
description but one that indicates
the
animals
personality. This is
a time consuming
job as it requires
really getting to
know an animal
and that takes time.
A mba ssadors,
dog walkers and
adoption specialists
are needed to travel
to other areas.
Some pet stores have
PAARL
animals
that Ambassadors
visit to socialize the
cats and talk with
potential adopters.
Events all over the
county present opportunities to find
potential adopters and raise funds.
The petmobile carries the animals to
the site and serves as a place for the
animals to escape the heat while at
these events. The dog walkers and
adoption specialists are needed at
these sites.
Another division of PAARL is
called Fidos Food that works hand
in hand with the Kibbles of Love
Program. They assist struggling
families located in Palm Beach and
Broward counties feed their pets as
well as offer referrals for low cost
vet care and sponsor spay/neuter
surgeries for their pets. Thier goal
is to keep your family fur members
home with you and out of the
shelter. They understand the animal
to human bond, and believe that

Stop Amnesty before 20 million left-leaning foreigners gain the vote. These individuals favor gun control, big government, income redistribution,
Obamacare, and international law over our American Constitution. Amnesty or any form of legalization would permanently alter Americas electorate.
Side with American Workers. Americans are fighting for jobs, hours, and wages while the Democrats plan to legalize millions of illegal aliens and
double the number of H-1B visas. Republicans have an opportunity to regain a majority. We should secure the border, strengthen employment laws,
and encourage companies to hire American workers. This will improve wages, fight poverty, and minimize government dependence.
Replace Obamacare. Republicans can lower costs while improving care; increase competition by allowing insurance across state lines, expand HSA
accounts and pre-tax savings, and implement tort reform to fund healthcare rather than trial lawyers. Refund billions of dollars stolen from Medicare.
Stop Common Core. The flawed curriculum is not the problem. Any central authority that selects the books that can be read will destroy a free
republic. Instead, we should return control to local schools, foster independent thinkers, and nurture proud citizens of this great American republic.
Save our Environment and Waterways. Decades ago, government intervention lead to great environmental damage. To avoid future releases,
we must restore Okeechobees natural southward flow. This will minimize government intervention, fix an environmental problem, improve our fishing
and tourist industries, replenish the Everglades, and prevent salinization of southern aquifers.
Reclaim America. Choose this private sector conservative rather than an establishment politician.

Together we can reclaim the nation and rebuild a government OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people.

June Black creates works of beauty,
works that are stark reminders of a
horrific period in our worlds history
and works that you will never forget.
June has created a quilt by hand, or
we should say 20 quilts plus three
others, that are currently on display
at Anshei Sholom.
The quilts all have a butterfly
background that is symbolic in itself
for many. Its based on the poem,

Another World?
Another Time?
BY ESTHER SUTOFSKY
Would I feel anything? Would
I be just numb? Had the years of
teaching and lecturing, talking about
it, writing and producing plays about
it, seeing documentaries and media
presentations about it had it all
created a layer that was beyond any
depth of feeling anymore? And if so,
what would that say about me, as a
person, as a Jew, as a relative of so many
who had perished in the horrors, by
gas, bullet and being buried alive?
Gerry and I were on a trip we had long
desired to take a heritage program,
a back to the roots trip to Eastern
Europe. We were hoping to take back
much with us, not tangible items, but
feelings and teachable moments for
our students and faculties. Now that
Another World?
Continued from page B2
or pictures.
What struck me the most at
Auschwitz were the artifacts. All the
material proof confirmed that the
Holocaust really happened there to
real people. The first of these that we
saw was the leftover human hair
(in quotations because it was two
tons and considered leftover). The
guide said that the amount of people
needed to produce that large of a
pile was close to 40,000. This huge
collection really struck me. This was
real hair from real prisoners, being
unique to other artifacts because
it was a part of them. It has all of
their DNA. It couldnt be a truer
slap in the face that these were all
real people. Also in this room was
an example of what they would use
the hair for; in this case, it was a rug
which was DNA tested after the war
and was confirmed it was the hair of
Jews that made up the fabric for it.
There were other rooms as well.
In one display was a large collection
of luggage, suitcases and baskets
all labeled clearly as the prisoners
were told they would get them back.
Some were labeled with birthdates
showing the harsh truth that there
were children one, two, three years
old in the camp. There was also the
vast collection of shoes (I think they
said 20,000 pairs). There were also
tallit collected from prisoners that
were displayed. There were pictures
brought by prisoners, clearly not
knowing that they were going to
Auschwitz, or at least what it was.
Although I had seen pictures of
these collections before, it is not
in comparison to seeing them in
person. A picture can be photoshopped, but seeing all of this in
person, there is no possible way to

perhaps three (3)
valves can be installed
in a day; however,
preparation, excavation, placing
and curing concrete, installation,
backfill and resurfacing can spread
that time frame into several for a
completed process. This will also
involve installing four (4) additional
Fire Hydrants to aid in water flow
and also change (lower) some
Homeowners Insurance premium
since the proximity to a hydrant
means that a fire can be extinguished
quicker if the unit is close to that
hydrant.
Thanks, Janet!

This is another story about another
resident who cares. Her name is Janet
Kerr. Janet is a full time resident for
the last 18 years. She is currently
the president of her association, a
receptionist at the UCO office several
days a week and an usher. But this story
is not about her volunteer assistance
although it is greatly appreciated.This
is about water.
Janet got tired of seeing the
frequent boil water alerts and, as
she said seeing water shooting up
out of the ground leaving a mess of
grass and sand all over her buildings
property. (Janet lives in the Norwich
area.) She said this was happening
for the last five or six years and for
the past year almost every month. So
when she recently had the opportunity
to speak to Peyton MacArthur,
Administrative Aide to Palm Beach
S E R V I C E S

Just a reminder
on the Fraud out
there. Yours truly
was Tax Fraud
Identity
Theft
victim. Seems our
IRS people sent a
$25,000.00 check to someone using
my name, etc, in Texas. I have since
found out that Texas checks are
forwarded to Mexico for cashing.
So beware and stay in touch with
your paperwork. I can not tell you
what a mess my accountant and
myself had to clean up. And of
course the IRS does not want to
hear that THEY made a mistake;
YOU DID.
Moral of the story: keep a CLOSE
eye on your bank paperwork and
tax paperwork.. Make sure very
few people get your information.
DESTROY any left over paperwork
you don't need and remember that
you must keep IRS paperwork for
SEVEN (7) years! Keep it secure,
don't just leave it laying around...
Until next time Stay safe & secure
out there.
On May 1, 2014,
David Israel sent
via e-mail the
second Request
for
Proposals
(RFP) to nine
vendors.
This
was watched and documented by
members of the UCO Reporter and
the Studio 63 crew. In the RFP, we
gave the vendors 90 days to respond
as remarks by vendors after the first
RFP indicated that they needed
more time to do a more thorough
job.
We have continued to collect the
surveys and currently have 1881
completed surveys that we can
identify as people in the village.
That represents 24% of the units
that have responded. We have more
surveys that have been returned
but the line asking for the unit was
left blank, had the date on it, listed
a name that is not a recognized
resident, or just said in the village.
We cannot include these in our
count as they may be duplicates of
other surveys already received.
93 percent of the people who
answered the survey stated that
they wanted Wi-Fi.
Here were
several people that stated on and
off the record that once Wi-Fi is in
they are planning on purchasing a
computer.
We must remember that it is not
only computers that use the Wi-Fi.
Smart-phones, Ipads, Kindles and
such also use Wi-Fi.
I also know that the one time
the EMS was called to our home,
their computer was not able to find
their satellite signal to the internet.
I provided them with the code to
my wireless modem so they could
access records and transmit to the
hospital while still in my home,
another advantage to a village-wide
Wi-Fi that is useful.
As we wait for the RFPs to return,
questions and comments can be
directed to ucowifi@gmail.com and
an answer will be given as quickly as
we can.

TRANSPORTATION
by Lori Torres
The committee
d i s c u s s e d
various changes
to
our
bus
routes and the
excursion
bus,
some of these
adjustments will be on a trial basis
and some may be permanent.
The first of these changes will
be very important the departing
time of the Wed. Excursion Bus will
now be 10:15 am with the return
at 3:15 pm. Internal bus riders
must arrive at 9:30 am if you drive
to the clubhouse you must arrive
no later than 9:50 am. We always
have a large waiting list and can't
permit anyone to board because we
are reserving your seat. Please be
courteous and arrive on time and
cancel if you can't take the trip.
The committee has removed
several stops from the Mall Bus on
Fridays only in order to add a bus
to the Palm Beach Outlet Mall.
Winn Dixie /K Mart and Dollar
Tree will be removed on Friday. We
will make one visit on Friday to the
mall with the 11:00 am departure
from the Clubhouse. Since we have
not timed the route yet the pick-up
at the mall will be approximately at
2:30 pm You will be advised of the
correct time by the driver.
Another change will be on the
Combo Bus. We will no longer be
stopping at Walgreens Goodwill
Store or the Red Lobster.
We are trying to make our routes
more efficient and these stops are
rarely used, this is on a trial basis
and other changes will made.

CHANNEL 63
by Kitty Gragg
The Channel 63
expansion team
continues
to
attract more new
pa r t icipa nts,
based
on
the
number
of
positive
comments we receive, it seems our
audience is growing also.
There are plans to start a new
program next month, that will be
geared more toward information,
than entertainment. We hope to
broadcast a synopsis of some of
the UCO committee meetings and
have the Chairperson describe
the function and mission of their
committee.
The current shows on 63 are
aired four times a day at 7:30 am,
12:00 noon, 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm
and the Cam and Sam Sports Talk
is on at 7:30 pm. There are program
information notices on the channel
throughout the day.
I thank all of the talented people
who have been involved in this
project and as always we continue to
welcome your new ideas.

The CENTURY
VILLAGE CERT
TEAM
would
like to remind
all the residents
and Officers to
PLEASE be sure
you designate someone to handle
the task of reporting damages after
a hurricane (especially if you are
leaving for the summer).
Please post on your bulletin
board a copy of After the Storm
Recovery. All residents, that are
able, need to assist in providing
information for assessment. This
needs to be done ASAP -- AFTER IT
IS SAFE. Upon the completion of
assessing injuries and damage, each
Association then needs to call the
number listed.
Reservations need to be made
early for residents that may have
special needs or want to use a
shelter during a hurricane.

INSURANCE

SAFETY
by George Franklin
Looks like Spring
has sprung and
Summer is here!
Before
our
snowbirds leave
for the Northern
climate, have you left your key with
someone in the building? Have
you shut off your water? Have you
shut off the electric? Have you
notified the Postal Service to either
hold or send your mail to another
address? How about telephone
service? Stopped that? Removed
any valuables from the premises?
Next -- is your car ready for the
road? Have it taken to your dealer
for a check-up. Maybe your f luids
are down a bit as well as belts
and hoses may need replacement.
What about tires and brakes? Are
you ready to go? See what they
say. A good rule even with the
new synthetic oils is to change it
every 3-to-5 thousand miles; dont
forget to rotate your tires. A lot of
auto dealers offer special Spring/
Summer Specials -- check them out.
Another Safety note if you may
not have heard -- the speed limits
on our major highways are going
to change very soon, from 70 mph
to 75 mph. Are you ready for
that change? If you enjoy " lolly
gagging" along in the left or center
lane, my advice is to move over and
stay in the right-hand lane. You
can get a traffic citation for slowing
the f low of traffic and/or failure to
keep right. Of course, we have our
friends and neighbors that just love
to play Daytona Speedway on I-95
and the Turnpike. You people need
to be careful also. Do not take for
granted you can take an additional
10 mph over the speed limit. Police
Officers are just waiting for you
to do that. How about a speeding
citation with failure to keep right
added on? I say that's about a
$300.00 fine plus court costs.
S E R V I C E S
Again, I will bring up texting and
talking on the cell phone. That's
distraction driving. Want to cause
an accident? Lets Hang up those
phones and drive! Need to make a
call? Pull over then call.
Nuff said.
I want to wish
everyone a safe and secure Summer
Season and if you need any Security
or Safety information, please feel
free to call me at the UCO Office
(689-9189) and I will be glad to
call you back and help you. In the
meantime: Enjoy and again -- be
safe & secure out there.

TO AMPUTATE:
Though it
sounds severe, pruning is necessary
to restore shrubs to better health.
In summary, the hard prune is
typically done once per year after the
winter months and with the onset
of spring. The prune encourages
new growth and healthy aesthetic
value. This practice will also help
free up lines of sight for traffic and
pedestrians. Hard pruning is only
done once per year.
You may have noticed we also
fertilized that week. I have asked
the landscape contractor to
always give me advance notice of a
fertilization event and also to give
me the composition of the fertilizer
in the representative numbers of
Nitrogen (N) (enhances green color),
Phosphorus (P) (enhances root
growth) and potassium (K) which
helps stresses such as foot traffic
and also helps the plant hold onto
water. Last weeks application to the
turf was 24-0-11 and the Shrubs and
Trees we treated with 10-0-15.

Tennis
Club
For the first time since the Palm
Beach County Senior Tennis League
was established in 1986, Century
Village will be competing in Division
One, the toughest level of play. To
get a sense of why this is such an
outstanding achievement and a
feather in our CV cap, there are some
4900 seniors forming 350 teams
representing 90 clubs, making the
PBC Senior League the largest in the
country. Who are these outstanding
athletes?
Captain Jan Roszko has always been
an avid sportsman. After receiving a
Masters Degree in Physical Education,
he taught that subject in his native
Poland prior to defecting to England
in 1971 where he taught aquatics.
Afterwards, he coached skiing and
swimming in Austria and, subsequent
to moving to Canada, held various
teaching positions and ran a health
club for 10 years. While volunteering
at a Montreal YMCA, he led its tennis
team for years in the city league. Here
in Century Village, he is a perennial
winner in our Sailing Club, this
year capturing first place in Fridays
navigational races.
Co-Captain Marcel Gigure is
the teams top court player, winning
most of his matches with partner
Jeff Frischman, who is ranked #4 in
the age 70 category in the state of
Floridaoutstanding. Winning comes
naturally to Marcel. Last year he
won the doubles championship in his
tennis club in Victoriaville, Quebec.
Ryszard Miezankos story is similar
to Jans. While teaching physical
education in Poland, he became active
in the solidarity movement to abolish
communism. As a result, he was
incarcerated for three (3) months and
lost his teaching license. Thanks to the
sponsorship of a Presbyterian church
near Philadelphia, he emigrated with
his wife and two (2) sons to America.
For 20 years he was the foreman of
a factory; on the second day of his
retirement, he packed up and moved
to Century Village where hes become
a prime example of our active lifestyle.
Every day, he rises at 4AM to commence
a rigorous exercise regime. No wonder
Ryszard is the fastest guy on the courts.
Also, it was no surprise when he won
our 5K-Run last year as well as coming
in 2nd place this year only because of
an injury.
For Mark Schwartz, tennis is his life.
When hes not playing for CV, hes seen
on TV officiating at ATP (Association
of Tennis Professionals) tour tennis
matches. Hes on our courts at 7AM

At this writing, our adventurous
snorkelers are on their trip at Brac

to accompany them anxiously await
their arrival home. We'll want to hear
all about their experiences and then
be sorry for not having been with
them. What can I say -- Such is life.

National Basketball
Association (NBA):
NBA Commish, Adam Silver, fined
L.A. Clippers owner, Donald Sterling,
$2.5 million (the maximum),
suspended him for life, and asked
the NBA owners to force Sterling to
sell the Clippers! Even if the courts
overrule him, Silver is a winner. He
won the hearts of the NBA players,
both black and white, for taking a
strong stand against bigotry. Please
don't feel sorry for Sterling. He
paid under $20 million for the L.A.
Clippers, and the projected sale price
is upwards of $700 million, some say
even more!

CERT Meetings
The CERT Team meets every
month to review and refine our
disaster survival and rescue skills.
The meetings are interactive and
friendly. We review strategies listed
in the CERT Training manual. I
speak with many CERT team leaders
from other local communities. I find
that to my knowledge Century
Village CERT team meetings are the
only ones that review important
CERT strategies each month.
I often hear from the over 100
certified CERT trained people, I'm
too busy to come to meetings but I'll
help if there is a Hurricane.
Well that's good, but strategies
and procedures have changed. Will
you be doing the right thing when
you are helping us? Yes, we will need
your help but why not come on back
for a review so that you can do the
most good for your village.

family should go
bankrupt just because a loved one
gets sick. So while political battles
over health care reform rage on
in Washington, new data paints
a very different picture about the
Affordable Care Acts success across
the country.
Despite its rocky roll-out, more
than 8 million Americans have now
secured private health coverage
through the laws new state-based
marketplaces. In Florida, about
980,000 people signed up, making
our state second only to California
in the number of enrollments. More
than 80 percent qualified for tax
breaks that lowered their monthly
premiums, and for many people
this financial assistance meant
being able to afford a quality health
plan for the first time.
The law has expanded coverage
in other ways as well. Over 5
million Americans secured health
insurance outside the marketplace,
and another 4.8 million gained
basic coverage through Medicaid.
In addition, more than 3.4 million
people under the age of 26 have
been able to stay on their parents
plan, bringing the total number
of people gaining coverage under
the Affordable Care Act to over
20 million people. All of these
Americans are now protected
against
discrimination
by
insurance companies based on preexisting conditions or gender.
As millions of people enjoy the
financial security that comes with
quality health insurance, the health
care law also continues to strengthen
our nations fiscal health. The
nonpartisan Congressional Budget
Office recently reported that the
Affordable Care Act is slowing down
the rising cost of health insurance
premiums more effectively than
originally predicted. As a result,
the law as a whole is expected to
cost the government $104 billion
less over the next decade previous
projections. Expanding access
to affordable insurance is vital
to our nations long-term fiscal
future because when uninsured
individuals seek expensive care
in emergency rooms, taxpayers
eventually end up picking up the
tab.
The Affordable Care Act has not
solved every health care challenge
