Two words emit a troubled thought It’s reference to “a loan” It’s what occurs after it’s sought The lender’s left “alone”.

Cut the chase and face the facts And though this may sound lewd Be prepared to laugh it off You know you can be screwed.

Intention is to pay it back You should not be surprised Delinquency, it can be high A friendship is compromised.

Lawrence always faced the facts One lady show some gall She never did return the cash He loaned her way last fall.

Notes of promise can be signed Cash departs the hand Be prepared to shrug it off It’s now on foreign land.

Did he appear an easy touch? She did attempt the task Her approach was sobering She stopped again to ask.

Payment is to be received You jot it in the terms Amounts and dates can vaporize Here is a can of worms.

Her memory seemed to slip a bit From a loan made last September “Two reasons not to loan you money, You don’t pay bills and you don’t remember.”

It’s gone and can not be retrieved Though some can be quite honest The loan, it is a rarity When it’s returned as promised.

HealtH-Care reform: replaCing mytHs witH faCts

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010 is incredibly broad in scope, so it’s probably not surprising that there’s a good deal of confusion about it, and a number of inaccurate and misleading claims that have been circulated. Here’s some information to help separate fact from fiction. Myth: The health-care law cuts basic Medicare benefits and services Fact: Just the opposite is true. The ACA mandates that no guaranteed Medicare benefits are cut. In fact, the ACA expands Medicare benefits to include a free annual wellness assessment. Many important preventive screenings and vaccines are now offered free of charge, including screenings for colorectal cancer, cholesterol, and diabetes; mammograms, flu and pneumonia vaccines; and counseling for smoking cessation and nutrition therapy. The ACA also attempts to slow the increasing cost of Medicare premiums and ensure that Medicare will not run out of funds. To help achieve these goals, the health-care reform law specifically targets Medicare fraud and wasteful overpayments to insurance companies, coupled with some cuts in Medicare spending. If you’re a participant in the Medicare Part D (prescription drug) plan, the ACA attempts to close the “donut hole” in which plan beneficiaries pay full price for prescription drugs after exceeding a gap in the annual coverage. The ACA provides a $250 rebate and offers a variety of discounts and federal subsidies through 2020, at which time participants will pay no more than 25% out of pocket for most prescriptions. Myth: You’ll have to give up your current health insurance Fact: If you have health insurance through your employer, or you have private insurance, you’ll most likely be able to keep your present coverage. In fact, plans in existence on March 23, 2010, that haven’t changed significantly are considered “grandfathered,” meaning that those plans are treated as qualifying health insurance. But even if your plan is grandfathered, you’ll benefit from some of the provisions of the health-care law. For instance, all plans, including grandfathered plans, must allow coverage for adult dependents to age 26 and remove any lifetime dollar cost limits. Moreover, your insurance can’t be cancelled if you become sick, and your plan cannot refuse to insure you if you have a pre-existing medical condition. Myth: All small businesses have to provide insurance to their employees Fact: If you are a small business owner (meaning you employ fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees), you are not required to provide health insurance to your employees. The “insurance mandate” applies only to large employers having at least 50 full-time employees. On the other hand, if you’re a small employer and you do offer health insurance coverage to your employees, you may be eligible for a tax credit. The credit is available to employers that have 25 or fewer full-time equivalent employees with annual wages averaging less than $50,000 per employee, and that pay at least 50% of the health plan costs. Myth: The ACA provides subsidies to illegal immigrants Fact: The ACA specifically defines who is eligible for federal payments, credits, and subsidies. Only U.S. citizens or nationals, and aliens lawfully present in the United States may receive federal payments, credits, or costsharing reductions applicable toward the purchase of health insurance. Undocumented immigrants in the United States may not acquire insurance through a state-based Exchange or Medicaid, nor are they eligible for federal subsidies for health insurance. Myth: Individuals have to pay taxes on their health benefits Fact: Nothing in the health-care law requires individuals to pay income taxes on their health-care benefits. Starting in 2018, an excise tax is assessed to insurers of high-cost, employer-sponsored health plans with aggregate expenses exceeding $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for family coverage. The tax does not apply to insured plan participants.

Other taxes that are part of the ACA include: • A tax of 10% on the amount paid for indoor tanning services • A 20% tax (increased from 10%) on distributions from a health savings account or an Archer medical savings account that are not used for qualified medical expenses • An increase in the Medicare Part A tax rate on wages by 0.9% (from 1.45% to 2.35%) on high-income individuals • An excise tax of 2.3% on the sale of certain medical devices • A tax on large employers (more than 50 full-time equivalent employees) that do not offer affordable health insurance to employees, and • A tax on individuals who do not have qualifying health insurance (many exceptions apply) Myth: The ACA promotes end-of-life decisions for seniors Fact: While early drafts of the law allowed Medicare to reimburse doctors for talking to older patients about advance-care planning, no such provisions made it into the final version of the law. Nothing in the ACA forces seniors to have consultations about end-of-life choices. On the other hand, the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 allows Medicare to pay for doctor’s visits with seniors in the first year of joining the program, during which time patients may voluntarily discuss end-of-life planning as part of their visit. The ACA does provide Medicare participants with free annual wellness visits and personalized prevention plan services. These provisions afford Medicare participants an opportunity to discuss important issues such as hospice, home care, and additional services available to seniors. However, the ACA does not mandate these discussions, nor does it tell doctors what options to discuss with their patients. Myth: The ACA taxes all real estate sales Fact: This misstatement is somewhat understandable based on the applicable part of the law. Beginning in 2013, the ACA imposes a tax of 3.8% on certain net investment income of individuals, estates, and trusts that have income above the statutory amounts. As it relates specifically to home sales, the tax applies only if you have modified adjusted gross income over $200,000 (individual), or $250,000 (married filing jointly), or $125,000 (married filing separately), and it would apply only to any taxable gain that results from the sale of your home. Since most people are able to exclude $250,000 ($500,000 in the case of a married couple) in gain from the sale of a personal residence, the application of the tax is limited. Myth: The health-care law will lead to government takeover of health care Fact: While provisions of the health-care law place some responsibility on the government to ensure that qualified insurance is available to most individuals, there is nothing in the law that directly promotes government takeover of our health-care system. For instance, many mistakenly believe that state-based health insurance Exchanges sponsor only governmentprovided health insurance. In fact, these Exchanges are intended to provide a marketplace that brings together consumers looking to buy health insurance with insurance companies looking to sell health insurance. Beware of health-care scams Probably due to the complexity of the law, many unscrupulous individuals are trying to scam people based on the uncertainty of some of the law’s provisions. For instance, you may get a call, e-mail, or visit from someone claiming that if you don’t have health insurance, you’ll go to jail. These same scammers may claim to be government officials and offer to sell you qualifying health insurance. Their goal is to get unsuspecting and frightened individuals, particularly seniors, to divulge personal information. To protect yourself, never buy insurance without checking with your state insurance department to be sure the seller is licensed and the policy is legitimate. Don’t give out your credit card or bank card information, and don’t give your Social Security number to anyone you don’t know.

Small Businesses...Keeping Montana Strong!

Just like “It takes a community to raise a child”, it takes small businesses to strengthen a community. Without loyal communityminded businesses, many Montana towns would be nothing more than a happy memory. These dedicated companies consistently provide jobs, industry, donations and volunteer services to the patrons who support them. They know that without a healthy economy in their town, their own companies will suffer, so they give back faithfully....When you see them be sure to say, “Thanks!”

Great Northern Hotel & Restaurant Maltana Motel

HARLEM: Richman Insurance

The word “entrepreneur” in today’s world tends to drum up lofty images of success the likes of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or even Benny Binion. Real life entrepreneurs, however, carry a much heavier burden of responsibility with a lot less flamboyance. The communities and towns LEWISTOWN: in which they operate in Montana owe them a multitude of thanks just for their staying power Snowy Mountain Motors alone. If ever there was an instance of an entrepreneur who works for the sake of getting the job done and done well it’s the duo who operates both the Great Northern Hotel and the Maltana Lewistown Rental Motel in Malta, Montana—Tim and Arlys Spear. The couple, who purchased the Great Northern from Jim Carney in 2001, lived and Duane Sparks Chevrolet worked in the hotel for three years before they were able to acquire a parallel business, the Maltana Motel, which included a stand-alone CHINOOK: Jamieson Motors home on the premises.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

We hope you enjoy reading this feature in Tricia’s Trader. You may agree, you may disagree with Dr. Kerns’ Ramblings, but

you will always have something to discuss over dinner.

The RINO Protection Act The biggest coward in politics is a Republican business owner, a trait I recognize because I used to be one. For example, sometime in August of my first run for office, I was in our local hardware store when the owner, Dean, approached me saying, “Krayton, I love your weekly column; your opinions are dead on.” “Well, thank you,” I said. “Does this mean I can put a campaign sign in your yard?” “No, that would be suicide,” he fired back. I chuckled, but said not a word. I too was a closet conservative in my earlier years and worried once my core beliefs were exposed, the left could attack my business as enemy territory; a technique of intimidation Saul Alinsky advances in “Rules for Radicals”. However, when I became a candidate, I traded my security blanket of anonymity for the sword and shield of truth, because to remain quiet and watch the country collapse would be insane. Now that you understand this business man’s dilemma, a quick look at Washington D.C. shows how left-wing activists exploit this weakness. Under congressional scrutiny, the Internal Revenue Service appears to be the American equivalent of the KGB. This oppressive division of the executive branch has been building a database to target conservative donors with detailed audits. This unequal application of law is blatantly unconstitutional, but it works. If Dean would not allow my campaign sign in his yard for fear of retribution, he certainly would not donate to my cause knowing it could subject him to an IRS audit. Now let’s zip back to Montana. This technique of building databases to manipulate politics appeared as Senate Bill 375 (SB375) in Montana’s 2013 legislative session. Senator Jim Peterson’s (R-Buffalo) legislation was drafted with the assistance of the governor’s office and was euphemistically nicknamed the Dark Money Bill. This legislation passed out of the Senate through the cooperative efforts all but one Democrat and eight RINOs (Republicans In Name Only). The House Judiciary Committee wisely tabled SB375 for the following reasons: In addition to re-writing various campaign rules, this 29 page bill required the disclosure of every stockholder possessing

over 10 percent ownership of a corporation participating in the political process with this database maintained in the office of Montana’s Commissioner of Political Practices (COPP). This requirement is blatantly contradictory to our First Amendment right to freedom of speech, but wait, it gets worse. Any corporation failing to meet these new reporting requirements would be fined an amount four times greater than any contribution deemed illegal with 50 percent of the fines retained by the COPP to offset the cost of maintaining their database. If you are not outraged you simply do not understand the problem. Imagine the IRS fining you four times the amount of your back taxes, but also keeping 50 percent of the fine to fund future audits and investigations. This Dark Money Bill dangerously places the scandalous IRS database practices solidly into Montana law. A few days after SB375 was tabled in Judiciary, liberal House RINOs joined all House Democrats to force the bill out of committee. They were unsuccessful. Just like Dean, most closet conservatives would like to see RINOs replaced by real conservative Republicans. However, Alinsky style repercussions from being listed on a government database makes it is easier to just let the RINO keep the office. Therefore, I nick-named SB375 the “RINO Protection Act,” and this brings me to my final point. The Responsible Republican cabal whose membership I listed in last week’s column, is hustling to get SB375 on the 2014 ballot. Citizens should not be swayed by the sugar plum and lollipop sounding name the Dark Money Bill. If SB375 becomes law, the Democrats joined by the RINOs will steer Montana down a liberal pathway for decades to come. Remember, it was the Responsible Republicans and Democrats who were responsible for a 13 percent growth in state spending in this recent 2013 session. Just because a politician selfidentifies as a Republican does not mean they hold an ounce of allegiance to America’s founding principles of limited government. Voters need to do their homework or forever wish they would have.

Dear Dave, I borrowed $30,000 from my aunt to buy a condo eight years ago. We had a deal that she would get her money back, plus a piece of the profits, when it sold. If there were no profits, she would get back her original $30,000. Recently the condo sold and I lost the money I put into it, plus my aunt’s money as well. I make good money and don’t have any other debt, but I’m a little resentful now that she wants me to pay her back. Do you have any suggestions? ~Christine Dear Christine, I don’t want to be mean, but you have no right to be resentful toward your aunt. This is the deal you signed up for, and she did nothing wrong. Wanting her money back now isn’t greedy or malicious on her part, and it’s definitely not worth putting a family relationship at risk. I know what you’re thinking, because it’s just human nature. You just went through a lot, and the situation didn’t work out as planned. Plus, it doesn’t sound like your aunt is hurting financially if she put $30,000 toward helping you in the deal. Part of you is thinking she has plenty of money, so why doesn’t she just forgive the debt and forget about everything? If you were barely scraping by, I might suggest that you sit down and talk with her over a cup of coffee, explain the situation and ask her to forgive the debt. Right now, the little girl part of you is whining, “Oh, come on. Just let me go!” But the grown-up Christine knows better. That part of you is whispering, “You know what to do…” Pay her back as quickly as possible, and get this bad deal behind you for good. You said you make good money, so just take care of your responsibility. It’ll hurt some, but it’s better than taking a chance on ruining the relationship with a very generous and loving aunt. ~Dave Dear Dave, I’m working on my debt snowball, and I’m trying to settle with a pushy collector. I don’t have the $9,000 I owe, but I have $3,000 I’d like to offer as a settlement. Recently the collector has started asking for a lot of information I don’t feel comfortable providing. What should I do? ~Daniel Dear Daniel, Lots of times in these kinds of situations collectors are trying to gather up as much information as possible in order to sue you. Even if that’s not the case here, there’s no reason for you to be supplying them with a bunch of extra info. Just offer them the $3,000, and make it clear that your financial coach—which is me—told you not to answer any more of their nosy questions. Make sure they understand that your offer of $3,000 stands as a settlement of the debt today. If they’re willing to accept the offer, get a statement in writing saying that the $3,000 represents payment in full before you cut the check. If they choose not to accept your offer, and they keep asking questions that are none of their business, just tell them to call back when they’re willing to discuss terms. Then, hang up! ~Dave For Sale: 320+/- acre parcel that includes 200+/- acres of irrigated land. A portion is laser leveled, all irrigates easily and recent drain field updates.

The following article I have taken out of the University of California--Berkeley “Wellness Letter” Volume 28 * issue 2 * November 2011. Some of you might find it interesting; others might find it shocking. I find it intriguing that an established medical institution would go against established tradition. Kudos to them, as I believe every word in their article is true.

Claims that don’t hold water

“You don’t need to drink 8 glasses of water a day to prevent dehydration and stay healthy. Every time we say that, readers tell us we’re crazy. Don’t schools and countless experts advise it? What about those people chugging from water bottles all day long? It’s still a myth, and no one really knows where it came from originally. Today this claim is often made by (no surprise) the bottled water industry. The notion that we don’t drink enough water—that is, at least eight glasses a day—“is not only nonsense, but is thoroughly debunked nonsense,” according to a recent editorial in the British journal BMJ. Here are some other water myths. Drinking lots of water does not improve kidney function or help kidneys eliminate toxins—let alone improve overall health. It won’t bathe your organs in extra fluid and thus improve their function. Don’t expect it to lower blood pressure, boost concentration in kids, improve skin tone or prevent headaches, despite the claims. Yes, water is a great drink. If it comes from the tap, it’s cheap and environmentally friendly. And yes, it may help you control your weight if it replaces caloric beverages. But that doesn’t mean water promotes weight loss. How much to drink? If you are healthy and not exercising or working hard in the heat, thirst is your best guide. Most fruits and vegetables are about 90 percent water. Other beverages also provide fluid, as do soups and stews. Coffee and tea also supply water; it’s a fallacy that they cause a net water loss. Older people do need to try to drink more water—older bodies cope less well with heat, and thirst may be a less reliable indicator. People with recurring kidney stones may also benefit from drinking more fluids. Basic rule: if your urine is light yellow, you’re drinking enough. I would like to point out something that you almost never hear about anywhere else. Consuming too much water can cause hyponatremia by flushing too much salt out of our system and unless recognized and corrected quickly can become deadly.” Next issue we will dig into some of the dangers of dehydration.
