El gobierno federal creó un programa de salud básico para familias de bajos ingresos que quedan fuera de Medicaid y del mercado de seguros. La implementación de este programa queda a criterio de los gobiernos estatales.
L
os Centros para los Servicios de Medicare y Medicaid (CMS) anunciaron que están trabajando para determinar cómo proveer de fondos federales para la implementación del Programa de Salud Básico (Basic Health Program) para 2016. Este programa le da a los estados la posibilidad de establecer un programa de cobertura de beneficios de salud para aquellas personas o familias cuyos ingresos son más bajos que los requeridos para poder comprar seguro a través de los mercados de seguros, pero que son más altos que el ingreso requerido para recibir cobertura de salud a través de Medicaid.
El programa es voluntario, es decir que cada estado decidirá si implementarlo o no y beneficiaría principalmente a individuos y familias de los estados que no ex-
pandieron la cobertura de Medicaid (como Florida, Alabama, Kansas, Virgina, Texas o Tennessee, entre otros). De ser implementado en los estados, este
programa beneficiaría a ciudadanos y residentes que viven en el país y que generalmente tienen ingresos entre el 133% y 200% del nivel federal de pobreza o FPL.
Todavía puedes evitar sorpresas a la hora de presentar tu declaración de Impuestos A pesar de que sólo quedan pocas semanas en el 2014, todavía tienes tiempo de actuar para que no te sorprendas a la hora de presentar tus impuestos el próximo año. Debes tomar medidas ahora para evitar deber más impuestos o recibir un reembolso más grande de lo esperado.
E
stas son algunas medidas que puedes tomar, empezando por hacer un estimado de los impuestos que pagas por adelantado más adyacente a lo que adeudas cuando presentes tu declaración de impuestos: • Ajusta tu retención. Si eres un empleado y piensas que tu retención de impuestos no es suficiente para pagar el total de tus impuestos del 2014, podrías evitar una inesperada factura de impuestos al aumentar tu retención. Si te están reteniendo demasiados impuestos, puedes obtener un reembolso más
grande de lo esperado. En cualquier caso, puedes completar un nuevo Formulario W-4, Certificado de Exención de Retenciones del Empleado (en inglés), y dárselo a tu empleador. Agrega la cantidad que deseas retener de tu cheque de pago hasta el final del año en la línea 6 del Formulario W-4. Generalmente puedes tener menos impuesto retenido aumentando tus exenciones en la línea 5. Usa la herramienta Calculadora de Retenciones del IRS (en inglés) en IRS. gov para ayudarte a llenar el formulario. • Reporta cambios en

In America, be American
e have descended into a nation of hyphens. This administration has done more to separate us as a nation than all other administrations combined. Even during WWII when brigades were categorized by color, the one thing that united all of us is the fact we considered ourselves as patriotic Americans. We were willing to defend our nation against any foe and made no excuses for America. In today’s American society we have immigrants who have fled their countries due to economic disasters, high crime, war, starvation, massive illness, no opportunities, governmental malfeasance, no religious freedoms, homophobia, socialism, communism you name it and we have them. Upon landing in our great nation and establishing a minor foothold,many immigrants instinctively begin to build in our country the very same life they escaped from. They gather in communities intent on keeping their former identities and become hyphenated Americans. They become MexicanAmericans, Latin-Americans, African-Americans, ArabAmericans, Chinese- Americans and a host of other nationalities. Seldom do they accept America, it’s values and the saving grace which they found solace in. Seeking democracy as they understand it, these foreign immigrants gather around and adopt the Democrat Party thinking it means Democracy. the Democrat Party has for decades known this and have subsequently courted these groups and encouraged them to join in Democrat efforts in believing our Constitution is flawed. The very essence of what has kept our nation free is under vigorous attack. It is to the Democrat Party advantage to keep these immigrants hyphenated. Even candidates within these communities campaign as “your Latino candidate” or whatever ethnicity will entice the vote. It is one thing to speak their language and quite another to abandon Americanization. Democrats have become wise in perpetuating the hyphen and using it as a wedge issue to roadblock Republican efforts to encourage American values for all of those who claim America as their homeland. Hyphenation has accentuated its presence dramati-

cally in these past five years and this administration will go to great lengths to perpetuate the hyphen rather than concern itself in reinforcing Americanization. I totally understand America is a continent and I use Americanization as the identity we have assigned for ourselves in the United States. Unfortunately for all of us,deceit from our leaders is the greatest weapon used to trample our patriotism. We constantly see images of recent immigrants waving their countries flag in preference to the Stars and Stripes flag representing our nation which gives them shelter and the opportunity for a new life of freedom. The impetus for these often raucous rallies are not only condoned by our leadership,they are covertly encouraged to enhance, you guessed it, “hyphenism”. The consequence of these actions in our own country emanate outwardly and you will now find anti-American sentiments even outside of war springing up all around the world. Many nations want our money but they certainly do not want us. Our representatives around the world, being our men and women in military service will confirm emphatically we as Americans bring out the worst of human traits in foreign countries often leading to bulling,humiliations, torture, captivity or death for our men in service. It all starts here on our very own soil perpetuated by us and our leaders who think “party” rather than “nation”, who believe being in power is the end-all for our nation. It is not! American leadership should be just that, American in thought, at heart and as a priority for God and Country. As Martin Luther King said, “we are a single garment of destiny” what part of single does our current leadership not understand? America is not what is wrong with the world anymore than Our Christian Judea teachings is what is wrong with America. Conservative values is what continues to make every effort to drive this point home! Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not goals for conservatives, they are ideals born of blood and sacrifice by our forefathers and that includes all men of any color or race who has ever signed up to defend our nation.
