Hey Frank, I'm overwhelmed by all the info and super busy this weekend -- would you add me to your "alert" ping list?
Also, could you ping me if/when someone contacts the Credit Union?
thx.
BTW - Has anyone contacted law enforcement?
"BTW - Has anyone contacted law enforcement?"
The only threats of Law Enforcement being called have been by the DUmp against all of us who've cracked this scam.
tx...you'd know the answer to this better than I would, but isn't the FBI now involved? I recall reading something to that effect over at CU.
Legally, you are entitled to treatment there because you are a resident, not because you are a grad student. And according to the Charter, you should be getting in line behind homeless people.
But you'd never know it to talk to the admin.

But, I agree with you that this dysfunctional health care system (bad as it is and still under attack by the Cabal, has to be the number 1 priority for a focused group of activists. It will be a long slog but it is an urgent one to take up.

Laura is right. We need to do something about this health care system immediately. Look at the screen names on this thread. Every sixth one doesn't have health insurance -- if you believe the underreported numbers on uninsured Americans. And even with insurance, many people can't afford to get the care they need.

My husband went there for 18 months and didn't get one minute of appropriate treatment. Same with every other public facility we tried. I had to beg and borrow money in order for him to see a real doctor and get stablized. It cost us both years of our lives.

We got the cash deposit there, and JH was too busy to find it on their own Mail Room Supervisor's desk. And so, canceled the surgery. (It has been rescheduled for later this month but still, that's just unconscionable.)
I don't want to trash them or anything. I did my best to get Andy treatment there because their results are so much better than anywhere else. But, it was all about the money, no matter what face anyone tries to put on it.
I hope, hope, hope, that this doesn't get lost: We came together for a just cause and we were unstoppable. Despite the corporate mindset, despite the trolls and stupidity, we got it done.
Does anyone have an idea of how hard it is to get someone into JH AND to raise that kind of money that fast?(There are notebooks with tallies ALL OVER MY LIVING ROOM. It looks like I had the world's biggest poker game here.)
Please notice that for ten solid days, DUers threw all their resources together and presented a united front to a -- uhm -- challenging world. And we were so successful, that the opposition was compelled to try to poison it. PLEASE NOTICE HOW WELL WE WORKED TOGETHER.
We have a lot of power collectively, if we don't allow ourselves to be frightened by that fact. If we take the risk, lookit what we can do. God or something help Big Pharma and the rest of the corporatists should we ever decide to take them on.
Well done, DUers. And, thank you.

There's one of the DUmmies taht's claiming that he/she has supposedly turned over copies of the threads concerning the AndyScam along with names of posters at CU to the FBI.
Claiming we've violated some sort of cyber laws.
Prepare for the fallout at the DUmp! I think there will definitely be a worthy thread for the AndyScam's Conclusion Chapter for PJ to DUFU as well!
Can't post much today, I'm at work, so KJC1, keep the time-line updated if you can, and everyone else, feel free to help out if you feel inclined!
I was planning to go to work today, however, I am now furiously justifying reasons to not go in!
I didn't know squat about capturing screen shots and how to upload them on a hosting site until franksolich, lutz, Purrcival, and others patiently walked me through it the other day.
Now, I am unstoppable...!!!
To capture the screen shot, hold down "shift" and "prt scr" (located on the top right corner of keyboard). Then paste it into Paint or similar program. Once you get to that point, one or more of us can help you crop it and host it somewhere.
*As she builds up to that magic number*
I think the thing I lack expertise in is the hosting step. That's where you store photos as well, yes?

OOPS!
I'm signed up at photobucket.com
It's free, and once you sign up for an account we can walk you through it.
Thanks! I'll do that. I've really wanted to post pictures of my bengal cat. She's gorgeous.
And my dachsies...and...
ONE THOUSAND!
