SENIORS ON FIXED INCOMES DENIED 1% COST OF LIVING INCREASE The following is a statement by AMAC on the topic of Seniors on fixed incomes being denied a 1% Cost of Living Increase. Interviews upon request. www.amac.us and www.amacfoundation.com “Fixed income seniors suffer while the Obama administration offers unemployment payments for up to six full months even though it is a clear cut disincentive for job seekers. The administration, it seems, is unwilling to give the jobless the motivation they need to start seeking jobs by cutting back on the government’s unemployment largesse. Yet, hapless retirees and other fixed income Americans may be denied a paltry 1% COLA increase yet again,” according to Dan Weber, president of AMAC (Association of Mature American Citizens). “Unemployment … [Continue reading...]

Dan Weber, HOW TO COVER 16 MILLION PATIENTS’ HEALTH CARE COSTS FOR FREE

By Leave a Comment

The 2nd largest Seniors organization, Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), has a proposal of how to cover 16 million patients' health care costs for free. Simply offer doctors a tax deduction for treating a certain quota of patients for free. AMAC founder Dan Weber gives the amazing back story details of how physicians were polled and asked what it would take to be willing to treat patients for free, and overwhelmingly they agreed to do so if they only could catch a break from the government, as in a tax break. What's more, the other concern doctors had with regard to taking on a larger caseload was the additional exposure to potential malpractice lawsuits since their insurance rates are already sky high. Weber proposed to give them a Good Samaritan exemption wherein … [Continue reading...]
