The health-indeed the very lives-of our nation’s older adults, people with disabilities, and their families are depending on it. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue. Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older. We urge every Senator to reject this harmful, misguided bill and engage in a bipartisan, transparent dialogue on needed health reforms to enhance access and affordability. An independent analysis finds that lost revenues to the Medicare Hospital Insurance (Part A) Trust Fund could deplete the Trust Fund’s reserves two years earlier than anticipated, effectively undermining the Medicare program’s fiscal health and opening the door to benefit cuts in the future. As our nation grows older and becomes increasingly reliant on Medicaid, cuts of this magnitude can only be described as heartless.ĬBO also estimates that the BCRA will increase Medicare spending by $58 billion over 10 years. The bill then goes on to slash the program even more deeply after 10 years. The BCRA’s $772 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the first 10 years will end the program as we know it, risking access to home and community-based services, nursing home care, and other essential services, including for the one in five (11 million) older adults and people with disabilities enrolled in Medicare who also rely on Medicaid. The Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA)-the Senate leadership’s amended version of the House-passed health care package-would yank coverage out from under 22 million people, restrict access to needed care, and hike health care costs most significantly for the oldest and sickest among us.

8/25/2023 0 Comments Superliminal gameThe devs are including a standard collection of objects from the main game. Since the level editor is now in Beta, players can use any 3D models that they wish. Therefore, starting now, players can create their own puzzles. This was just the first step of a much larger project. Then adjust its behaviors, and bring it into the main game via the Workshop’s soda machine. This allows players to import any 3D model into the Workshop.

As the pirates approached, the remaining crew fired flares in addition, Perry and 1st A/E Matt Fisher swung the ship's rudder, which swamped the pirate skiff. When the pirate alarm sounded early on Wednesday, 8 April, Chief Engineer Mike Perry brought 14 members of the crew into a "secure room" that the engineers had been in the process of fortifying for just such a purpose. Their training included the use of small arms, anti-terror, basic safety, first aid, and other security-related courses. The crew members of the Maersk Alabama had received anti-piracy training from union training schools, and had drilled aboard the ship a day previously. All four of the pirates were between 17 and 19 years old, according to U.S. On 8 April 2009, four pirates based on the FV Win Far 161 attacked the ship. He ship, with a crew of 20, loaded with 17,000 metric tons of cargo, was bound for Mombasa, Kenya. The hijacking also inspired the 2013 film Captain Phillips, with Tom Hanks playing Richard Phillips in the title role, Barkhad Abdi playing Abduwali Muse and Faysal Ahmed playing Najee. The story of the incident was reported in the book A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea (2010) by Stephan Talty and Captain Richard Phillips, who had been master of the vessel at the time of the incident. It was the sixth vessel in a week to be attacked by pirates who had previously extorted ransoms in the tens of millions of dollars. It was the first successful pirate seizure of a ship registered under the American flag since the early 19th century. The siege ended after a rescue effort by the U.S. The combination of the one less pirate and the others on steadier water would have "put the sniper team in excellent condition," Humphries said.The Maersk Alabama hijacking was a series of maritime events that began with four pirates in the Indian Ocean seizing the cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama 240 nautical miles (440 km 280 mi) southeast of the port city of Eyl, Somalia. The Bainbridge convinced one pirate to come aboard the Bainbridge to seek medical attention and the other pirates allowed their lifeboat to be towed out of rough seas to a calmer area.ĭuring the towing, the boat was pulled to within 40 yards of the Bainbridge, and the act of towing made the snipers' jobs easier by putting their lifeboat in the middle of the large ship's wake which calmed the unruly waves and steadied the pirates as targets. Bainbridge where the snipers were deployed was also heaving with the waves. The waves turned the lifeboat into a moving target, and the rear of the U.S.S. "If the sea was flat, the shot would be relatively simple."ĭuring the five day standoff, the Navy worked to get close to the pirates, but as their patience wore thin, the seas became rougher. "The shot's extremely difficult to make depending on equipment that shooters have," he said. "If you hit the central nervous system, the probability is greatly reduced." "There's only one way to be assured no involuntary trigger squeeze, and that is a head shot," Humphries said. SEAL sharpshooters are trained to hit targets "under a minute," meaning they are able to hit within an inch of a target from 100 yards, former Navy SEAL Harry Humphries told .įor the snipers who killed the three Somali pirates, it had to be a "head shot," Humphries said, because one of the pirates was holding an AK-47 pointed at the back of American freighter captain Richard Phllips. ![]() Their job was made easier by the pirates' willingness to allow their boat to be towed, smoothing out the sea and settling them into an even keel. Ap— - At least one former SEAL was not surprised that each of the three Somali pirates was killed with just one shot, despite the fact that they were on a rolling sea and the Navy snipers had to make a successful "head shot," something he said is "extremely difficult." |
