Fire Police In Pennsylvania

Send EMAIL to Andrew M. Shecktor, Webmaster

Formerly the site of the Montgomery Cty. Vol. Fire Police Assn.
The Assn. is now at Montcofp.org



This website was created as a service to all firepolice, but especially to the firepolice who serve the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This website has been designed and created by Andrew Shecktor, a 25 year veteran of the fire service, serving during that time as an active fire fighter, firepolice officer and company officer for several fire companies, rescue squads and emergency organizations. Feedback is welcome, and requests for additional information also welcome. This is a work in progress, and is currently serving the purpose of an information repository. If you have a link or information pertinant to the firepolice, please pass them along. This is not a site intended for general fire fighting information or police information. Enjoy, and god bless.


To ALL Americans - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!

A National Health Care Bill has been out up for vote and will come up for vote again soon. Most of us have never heard of this bill before. It is a MUST READ -- it effects all of us. All people, and especially emergency service personnel, require adequate health care. The costs today are constantly rising, and may jobs no longer provide any health care to their employees. The bill currently in consideration would provide healthcare for all using currently available financial resources. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS with the bills that Hillary Clinton has been discussing! Unfortunately, Ms. Clinton has now, it appears, been bought out by the big pharmaceutical companies, and her proposed healthcare plan is no better than the one she previously proposed - leaving out those with major medical problems and the elderly, among other things.

The bill currently up for review is in place to provide for comprehensive health insurance coverage for all United States residents, and for other purposes. TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the ‘‘United States National Health Insurance Act (or the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act)’’.

SEC. 102. BENEFITS AND PORTABILITY.

(a) IN GENERAL.—The health insurance benefits under this Act cover all medically necessary services, including at least the following: See lines 18 thru 25 on Page 4 and lines 1 thru 19 on page 5.

REQUIREMENTS.—The conversion to a not for-profit health care system shall take place over a15-year period, through the sale of U.S. Treasury Bonds. Payment for conversions under paragraph (3) shall not be made for loss of business profits, but may be made only for costs associated with the conversion of real property and equipment. Page 6

There are only 27 pages, double spaced. You need to read the entire bill. Pass it on to keep every citizen informed.

******** Regarding H.R. 676 health care bill - just a note - this bill failed twice in the past, and was re-worked and re-introduced this year (you should note this, as some of the websites out there indicate that the bill has indeed failed, when in reality they are old websites describing previous years.) *********

The bill can be downloaded in PDF format at: http://www.pnhp.org/publications/the_national_health_insurance_bill_hr_676.php

The Library of Congress has it in text format at: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:h.r.00676:

And information on funding for the bill can be found at: http://www.house.gov/conyers/news_hr676_2.htm

Send this information as wide and far as possible, and don't forget to write to as many congress and senate members as possible (even in other states - ) We need to get the word out!

Additional information can be found at: www.healthcare-now.org

Also the state of Pennsylvania is sponsoring it's own bill that would provide healtcare to all, but would impose a general tax on residents. Still probably cheaper than most are paying for healthcare! This information can be viewed at: healthcare4allpa.org
