YES - THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO PAY FOR THE TAX/JOBS BILL.
"United State Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Wednesday doubled down on President Trump's threat to pull foreign aid from countries who vote in favor of a U.N. resolution condemning his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital."

We are now 12 days out from Jack needing an urgent referral to Queen's pulmonary hypertension unit...no referral yet. Tri-West confirms the doctor sent in the supporting medical records but said he failed to submit a form. I wonder when they were going to call us to tell us...oh, wait, they weren't. They were going to let this sit on someone's desk for months like they did with his ENT appt. which cost him his hearing. I'll call everyday to follow up.
On the 22nd, Jack... runs out of his new heart med which he should have been on last year during the time the VA refused to refer him to a cardiologist. Supposedly, prescription sent to V.A. last week. VA has no record - VA PCP can't prescribe - restricted Rx by cardiologist only.

Tri-West is NOT V.A. They are separate, independent entities and each has their own rules, policies, staff. Their computers don't talk to the VA computers - once Tri-West gets involved, the PCP is left in the dark and it is up to the patient to make sure the PCP gets all the records and information for continuing care.
Queens says it needs a referral from VA because VA is primary insurance - Tri West says the referral goes to them first. PCP has no clue what transpired or who is referring what.... see any problem with this?
Jack needed this referral last year -evidence of a medical need was well established. Jack paid a hefty price for 15 month delay and his return to Hawaii. Oddly, when a kanaka maoli is forced to leave Hawaii, the other Hawaiian activities consider them "second class" kanaka - not being on island to "fight the good fight." It's total BS and unnecessary labeling. It is a designed division (not caused by haole btw.)
(I wonder if Jack can donate a kidney to pay for the VA's fraudulent billings- sarcasm.)

Jack, a zero co-pay veteran, received a demand letter from the V.A. today - to pay a bill that was wrongfully charged to him when someone in Honolulu went into the computer and changed his finances so that Jack would 1) not be qualified for travel (to Oahu if need be) and 2) bring him into a co-pay situation.
Re: Fw: Federally Protected Hoary Bat Shafted in EIS Process by USFWS

Aloha Jenny Hoskins USFWS,
In the EIS inventory for UHWO, the report illustrates an effort
was made to verify what birds inhabit the 500-acre property.
The report states the effort for birds consisted of a search on one day and lasted a few hours in the morning.
When the EIS conducted by PBR Hawaii LCC was submitted to the DLNR for review,
PBR Hawaii LCC exhibited in their findings that no effort to inventory for the Hoary Bat was orchestrated whatsoever.
Knowing that the Hoary Bat is a creature of the night, darkness, how is it, that the property at UHWO got approved
for development - the EIS approved- FONSI issued, when DLNR knowingly knew, that absolutely no effort
was made to quantify the presence of the Hoary Bat on the property?
My question to you- that since the Hoary Bat is listed as federally endangered -
How is it, that USFWS approved and allowed to transpire, the liquidation of known Hoary Bat inhabitation along the entire Ewa Plain for every EIS executed? The EIS for DR Horton's 1,550 acre Ho'opili property contains no documentation - is absent of any data, lacking inventory- whereby zero effort and resources were expended to conduct a search on the property for the Hoary Bat.
Isn't USFWS supposed to ensure that in the EIS process, the inventory included a search for the nocturnal? We know no search for anything was performed at night in any EIS for all property reclassified from ag to urban. Hence, how can the USFWS claim with a straight face, that the Hoary Bat was given a fair shake?
Will you investigate and order amended EIS's for the Ewa Plain properties - to have the properties examined for the bat- since we know no inventory for the Hoary Bat was executed - will USFWS offer remedy to the oversight?
Aloha Keakua Ha'aha'a pono;
