Episode 2110 notes Today, we're going to explore the parallels between two core human pursuits, prosperity and longevity. These have long been the goals of individual societies and political systems. Since the dawn of humanity, we have sought systems that offer comfort and freedom to pursue our desires. We now define that broadly as prosperity Today, Dr. Firouz Daneshgari (Dr Bowtie) and I are going to explore the parallels between two core human pursuits: Prosperity and Longevity, as these have long been the goals of individual societies and political systems. Since the dawn of humanity, we have sought systems that offer comfort and freedom to pursue our desires. We now define that broadly as prosperity. Dr. Firouz Daneshgari: "D.O.G.E., (Department Of Government Efficiencies) is doing some the stuff that a lot of people admire. They say this is the way it has to be. Some people are scared. What are they doing? So I thought this is the time for us to kind of step back and basically ask some fundamental big questions: Why American society - 5% of world's population - generates a good, one third of the world GDP. And what is the engine? What is it? You know, are we different kind of human beings or. And the answer is no. “Don't focus on your goals, focus on your systems”. Because everyone has goals. Both the winners and losers have the same goal. They want to, you know, win something. It is the difference in the systems, that basically determines who wins and who loses."

S19 E05 - Medicare Advantage Health Insurance, Special Needs Programs, The three types available: C-SNP, D-SNP I-SNP and from who
I'll explain in clear and in easy to understand language the programs, details... which you may find are complicated and convoluted on the government website, and key values offered. For example, Dental benefits up to $4,000 on a United Healthcare plan! That's remarkable because while the Medicare Advantage plans typically have maybe $1000 or $1500 dollars, they don't have $4,000 in dental benefits.
C-SNP is a chronic condition program, D—SNP if you have a chronic condition, qualify for Medicaid so dual eligible. And then there's the institutional snip or I-SNP if you're in a nursing home or facility or incapacitated in some way. You may also qualify for a dual eligible plan one of these plans.
There are only a handful of carriers that do these. United Healthcare is probably the biggest in the marketplace that does, and they have multiple plans that they do this depending on the state that you're in.
There are many questions and scenarios, like: "I need to know if I qualify for a special needs program. It's my mother, my uncle, my grandmother, my father. Maybe it's my sister. If you don't have to be 65", if you're disabled, you may well qualify for one of these plans if you're on Medicaid.... that's also important to understand. That's called the dual-eligible plan. That's the one where you've got Medicaid, and people are afraid "to lose my Medicaid if I go to Medicare". No, there's a dual-eligible plan that helps you get Medicare, keep your Medicaid, and enhance your benefits greatly. I urge you, and if you or if it's that you are a caregiver or a family member or the one who needs this care, or maybe someone in your church...whatever the case may be, reach out to them and tell them to get this information.

Episode 2108 notes Our Turning Lives Around series features my guest Matt Thomas: “I grew up I grew up in a pretty rough environment. My house was pretty rough. My mom, bless her heart, was an alcoholic and my dad wasn't around.” Coupled with not such a great environment, Matt started getting in trouble at a really young age, spent time in juvenile hall and all his teenage years in a home for wayward boys, a gothic boarding school. “It was the pattern. And eventually, being highly addicted to methamphetamines, I ended up catching a couple charges for burglary, a stolen car and some drugs. And I did three years in the state of Arizona, and in that process is where God really got a hold of me. You know, people I know, people will say I came to Christ, but I’ve got to tell you, he pursued me.” Matt’s story is stunning, tragic and uplifting, but my main reason for bringing him on the show today is what he is doing now for youth and troubled kids. Matt Thomas founded Firm Foundations Ministries where they equip men and women to move from imprisoned to empowered.
