Medicare 101
classes available here
A Medicare 101 class
is coming to Heppner next
month.
Cynthia Hylton and
Donna Delikat from the Or
egon Insurance Division’s
SHIBA program (Senior
Health Insurance Benefits
Assistance) will be teaching
a class on Thursday, Sept. 4,
at 2 p.m. at Columbia Basin
Electric in Heppner.
M edicare 101 w ill
be offered to anyone in
the Morrow County com
munity who wants to un
derstand about Medicare
health insurance benefits
and choices.
This is an opportunity
to become informed prior
to the annual fall Medicare
enrollment period coming
up Oct. 15 to Dec. 7.
For the more than 1,700
Medicare beneficiaries and
all individuals turning 65
in 2014 or 2015 residing
in Morrow County, this
is a once-a-year event for
people to get their ques
tions answered by unbiased,
objective OID Medicare
trainers.
The class will cover
topics like Part D drug
coverage, supplem ental
coverage, Part A and B, and
enrollment periods.
“What you do not know
can cost you and with Medi
care changes happening
each year, it’s important
to stay up-to-date,” a SHI-
BA representative said.
“You are held responsible
to know about Medicare
deadlines and requirements
for coverage o f medical
services by your policies.’
People who wait to sign
up for Medicare because
they will not draw Social
Security until 66 may end
up being penalized.
Medicare and Social
Security are two different
programs. Medicare starts
at 65 no matter when you
draw Social Security.
Premium penalties and
delayed health coverage
are consequences o f not
following Medicare enroll
ment policies.
SHIBA representatives
also state that there is no
one-size-fits-all plan in
M edicare. There are 33
prescription drug plans to
fit different peoples' needs.
Call 1-800-722-4134
to register for the class.
Registration is preferred but
walk-ins are welcome.

An enemy in the camp
The E.O. (East Oregonian) editorial, August 9, by
Merlyn Robinson, “U.S. Senate couldn’t even follow an
angelic prophecy,” is almost prophecy itself.
Merlyn's satire is quite truthfully right on spot:
America’s House and Senate are asleep at the switch. All
of these elected people are supposed to protect the Ameri
can people in sworn oath, just as our military personnel,
from enemies foreign and domestic.
America’s place in world affairs and history is no ac
cident. No other nation on earth has accomplished what
America has done, and I’m not talking about standard of
living; I'm talking about the Christian gospel of salvation
which American missionaries took to the world in the late
18th to 20* centuries.
For some time now America's churches as well as its
government have lost their moral compass. Churches were
to be a refuge for lost sinners to find salvation of soul,
and our government, being founded by men of God, for a
country where people were free to worship God without
king or dictator to tell them how to do that.
When a nation like America, one out of many, turns
from the God of heaven who planted this nation and
protected her during formation and through great wars,
and takes the ways of others through adultery of spirit
and flesh (worldliness), God says, “I shall send upon thee
cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that though settest
thine hand unto for to do. until thou be destroyed, and
until though perish quickly; because of the wickedness
of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me” (Deuter
onomy 28:20).
This present administration is the most corrupt to
ever lead this great nation. The president’s platform of
“change” is a change to what? A Saul Alinsky, Cloward
and Pliven welfare system ? This is why we are seeing a
run on our southern border, organized chaos being sanc
tioned by this administration. So, Merlyn, it is believable
the course of government action we see at our southern
border: it’s part of Obama’s change for America.
Wake up, America. An enemy is in the camp.
