Word of Mouth is a Powerful Tool

Palin's Announcement to Step It Up...

When One Door Closes, Another One Opens

Fox Nation:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shocked the political word Friday afternoon by announcing that she will step down at the end of the month and transfer power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell -- a move that throws into doubt her political future and a potential run for president in 2012.

Palin, last year's Republican vice presidential nominee, made the surprise announcement from her home in Wasilla, flanked by her husband, Todd, and family and state commissioners.

"I never believed that I nor anyone else needs a title to do this, to make a difference," she said. "I'm determined to take the right path for Alaska, even though it is unconventional and it's not so comfortable."

Conservatives for Patients' Rights


Conservatives for Patients' Rights is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and informing the public about the principles of patients rights and, in doing so, advancing the debate over health care reform. Those principles include choice, competition, accountability and responsibility. We believe the path to effective health care reform must be based on the patient-doctor relationship and not from a top-down, big government perspective. Anything that interferes with an individual’s freedom to consult their doctor of choice to make health care decisions defeats the purpose of meaningful health care reform.

Policy Holders of America

Dear Friend:

Remember when you were a kid and you and your friends hit a ball through your neighbor's window? If your parents were like mine, they dragged you over to your neighbor, made you apologize and for the next several months, you found yourself doing odd jobs to earn enough money to pay for the repairs. That's called taking responsibility.

While the average citizen must take responsibility for their actions, most insurance companies do not. I've never seen one of them admit they handled a claim improperly. Instead, they blame the homeowner, the builder or anyone else within ear's shot.

It is the insurance industry's refusal to take responsibility that has led to an increasing number of wrongful denials, delays and disputes about the scope of loss. Their behavior forces policyholders to fight for the coverage they were sold.

Policyholders of America or POA is a not-for-profit organization that empowers the policyholder. The organization was founded by policyholders who, probably like you, found themselves entangled in the web of insurance fraud, bad faith and unfair claims handling practices.

It's easy to fall into the victim category when a multi-billion dollar insurance company puts the screws to you. Don't. You will do nothing to move forward if you are too busy feeling victimized. That's where we come in

POA's mission is simple:

Guiding policyholders through the claims process;
Eradicating fraud and bad faith from the claim handling process;
Sponsoring medical research in specific target areas;
Demanding lower premium rates that better reflect actual coverage received;
Endorsing and supporting candidates who are champions of public interest; and
Exposing elected and appointed officials who have betrayed the public's interests

While we do provide tips and strategies to help with the claims process, we are not promoters of litigation. Depending on the situation, there are a number of other alternatives available to the policyholder that should be explored before resorting to legal remedies. However, once all other alternatives are explored, we stand ready to assist your legal team with database information that may prove invaluable to your case.

To become a member, you must fill out the membership application. Due to the review process, membership usually takes five to seven days to approve. There is a free category of membership that limits access to news.

We hope you join us and empower yourself.

Sincerely,
