Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV is a vinegar which is made by Apples. It is manufactured in the industries & factories and is available on online markets too.

Vinegar has been used for centuries for various cooking and household purposes. We use it in pickles, jams & sauces.
Due to spreading awareness, ACV is very popular specially in foreign countries for it's benefits.It is made from cider and has a pale to medium amber color.

One of the most common beliefs prevailing in the scientific and non-scientific communities today is that apple cider vinegar has disease-fighting properties due to its high concentration of beneficial ingredients.

Actually, it is believed that it has anti-microbial properties too.

Adding vinegar checks the growth of microbes in food and hence, it is protected from spoilage.When we have to preserve food for long time, we add vinegar to it as it serve as preservative.

Apple cider vinegar is used in marinades, chutneys, pickles, jams, food preservatives, salad dressings, and numerous other dishes. It tastes extremely sour due to the presence of acetic acid and malic acid.

It is very very acidic in nature that's why it is always recommended to use it after dilution.Concentrated form of ACV can induce acidity and it can spoil enamel of teeth if consumed orally without diluting it with water or by direct consumption.

As a microbiologist, I want to tell you here that it is basically formed by fermentation process.Fermentation is a common name in the field of microbiology.Many of you might also be aware about it.

Brief History Of ACV

An ancient nomadic tribe by the name of Aryans developed a sour apple wine in around 25000 B.C. which formed the basis for the preparation of apple cider vinegar.

Cider basically means wine or strong drink. ACV has been medicinally used for thousands of years. It was used to treat certain ailments like toothache, mushroom poisoning, and dandruff.

The vinegar was also used during the time of Civil War and World War I to treat the wounds of soldiers in the battlefield. It is also said that Japanese Samurai warriors used to drink ACV for enhanced strength and endurance. It was believed to be antiseptic and to heal wounds. It was also believed that it has soothing properties.

Vinegar was also used in food as a pickling agent. The residues have been found in ancient Egyptian urns that were traced way back to 3000 BC. Still as I said above, we are using vinegar in pickles and jams from quite a long period of time.Our Dadis and Nanis were using it.It is used by generations to generations.

Apple cider vinegar is prepared by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid – in a way similar to the preparation of other fermented drinks like Kombucha, Kefir, and wine.

That’s about the brief history of ACV.

I Prepare My Own -

Now, ACV is available in stores and in online markets too, it is too costly for some to even afford.
Also for the person who care much about purity of things, it couldn't be satisfactory to buy ACV online or from shops.
When I came to know about ACV, during that time, it was not a common thing to talk about in India. Hence, it was difficult to find it in stores specially at my place.
So, to overcome this problem, I started making ACV myself at home to be used by me and other family members.

ACV, made by myself at home

I use my homemade ACV
For various purposes

Homemade ACV is pure

Unfiltered ACV is best.
So homemade is best too.

ACV can be easily made at home

If you want the steps of the procedure, then I will share it for you in future.

In this way, I got pure form of ACV. ACV comes in filtered form in market but it is good if it is not filtered too much.

Coming back to the point...

ACV is also known as "Seb Ka Sirka" in hindi.
ACV is well known today for it's health & beauty benefits.If you are still ignorant about it, then keep reading.

This article of mine will tell you about health benefits of apple cider vinegar.

READ 22 More Health Benefits Of ACV.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF ACV 🍎🍸

1). Helps In Weight Loss -

The major problem which people experience is how to loose weight. Obesity and being over weight can be life - threatening.

The weight loss effects of ACV is due to the presence of acetic acid, which can interfere with the body’s ability to digest starch. When this happens, less amount of food is broken down into calories in the bloodstream. This, eventually, can have a subtle effect on your weight. But, there is one thing you must keep in mind – too much of acetic acid can hurt your throat. As I said earlier, ACV is too much acidic.

Hence, it is best to mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with about 250 ml of water and take it before a meal. Also, yes, ACV does keep some starch from being absorbed. But this doesn’t mean you can eat without thinking. Daily disciplines are as important as anything else.

One study where rats were exposed to apple cider vinegar had found the increase of an enzyme called AMPK that was present in their bodies. This enzyme increases fat burning and decreases the production of fat in the liver. Though similar effects in humans are still under speculation, the findings look very promising.

As per another Japanese study, it was found that acetic acid could suppress the accumulation of body fat. The acetate in ACV can also reduce appetite, leading to healthy weight loss.

2). Controls Blood Sugar Levels -

High blood sugar and diabetes are turning out to be life-taking in the world today. With apple cider vinegar, one can probably avoid falling victim to the this disease.

It is believed that the effects of ACV on blood sugar are similar to certain medications. The anti-glycemic effects of ACV can be linked to its ability to prevent some of the starch from getting digested and spiking your blood sugar levels. However, please consult your doctor in this regard. It is recommended in every article of this blog.To consult your doctor, it is very important before consuming anything specially if you have certain health conditions.

As per a report published by the American Diabetes Association, the ingestion of vinegar at bedtime can favorably impact glucose concentrations in type 2 diabetes patients.

3). Detoxifies Your Body -

Toxins are poisonous and unwanted substances in our body. Detoxifying means getting rid of toxins or expelling them out. ACV is loaded with good enzymes and helpful bacteria. It also contains acetic acid, which can play a good role in detoxifying your body.

ACV can help detoxify your liver and enhance circulation. Detoxifying leads to good health and beautiful skin. This makes you look gorgeous. And in this way ACV can make you feel healthy and radiant right from the moment you wake up in the morning naturally from inside out.

ACV contains acids that bind to the toxins within your body and help in flushing them out. It purifies your blood. It also relieves constipation, thereby helping release waste and other toxic materials from your body.

4). Lowers Blood Pressure -

Apple cider vinegar helps the body in balancing it's pH levels, which further helps in lowering blood pressure. ACV also breaks down the fat and phlegm deposits in the body – this aids better circulation and lowers the pressure against the arterial walls.

The anti-hypertensive properties of apple cider vinegar can also be attributed to its high potassium content – potassium alleviates sodium’s negative effects on blood pressure. When we say hypertension, then it means we are talking about high blood pressure.

Hyper means high and tension means blood pressure here.Hypotension means low blood pressure.Hypo (low)+tension (blood pressure).

Here, we are talking about high blood pressure.For lowering blood pressure, one should consume ACV in some form every day in required amount.

5). Aids In Digestion -

ACV possesses antimicrobial properties due to the presence of malic acid. It may treat bowel irregularities.

ACV is also considered a prebiotic (food for probiotics, the good bacteria). It helps the beneficial bacteria in your gut thrive and maintain a healthy digestive system.

6). Helps In Cancer Prevention -

In today's time, cancer is a disease that can possibly wreck human lives, Unfortunately, it is going common in the name of diseases. There have been certain studies that support the efficacy of ACV in treating cancer. For instance, it has been found to help treat or prevent esophageal cancer.

Esophageal cancer is the cancer of esophagus.However, there are certain other studies that state otherwise. Hence, it is always recommended to check with your doctor.

7). Lowers The Cholesterol And Reduces The Risk Of Heart Disease -

As per a study published in a journal of Biological Sciences, rats that were given vinegar experienced a reduction in LDL (bad cholesterol) and an increase in HDL (good cholesterol).

We all know that cholesterol is not always bad.There are two types of cholesterol. LDL is bad cholesterol and HDL is good cholesterol. Bad cholesterol leads to heart diseases and stroke.

Apple contains pectin, a fiber that has been found to lower cholesterol levels. And, as ACV is made of apples, its consumption might help in decrease in cholesterol.

As we know, reduction in cholesterol levels means a lower risk of heart disease. According to a study published by the Harvard School of Public Health, women who ate salad dressings with vinegar observed a lowered risk of heart disease.

ACV also controls triglycerides and raises the levels of good cholesterol in your body, thereby helping prevent heart disease. The vinegar also contains chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant that has been scientifically proven to protect an individual from heart disease. The higher dose of pectin also directly contributes to heart health.

8). Treats Heart Burn And Acid Reflux -

Acidity & acid reflux are going common these days. Hectic life and disturbed eating habits lead to acidity and acid reflux. Acid reflux also leads to bad throat.

Heartburn and acid reflux can be caused often even by too little stomach acid. ACV, being acidic, provides a similar acidic environment like the stomach and aids the breakdown of food. This can help treat heartburn or acid reflux.

ACV also contains antimicrobial properties that can prevent certain intestinal issues that might cause acid reflux.

9). Whitens The Teeth -

ACV can act as a powerful cleansing agent for teeth. It not only helps remove stains on your teeth, but also kills the bacteria that cause certain gum diseases.

Due to it's anti microbial properties, it can be good for dental hygene. All you need to do is mix half a teaspoon of ACV with a cup of water. Gargle in the morning, post which you can brush your teeth as usual.

Remember one thing , ACV is too much acidic in nature. If taken directly without diluting, it can cause damage to tooth enamel. So, always use in diluted form.

ACV, as we have already seen, contains enzymes that helps the growth of good bacteria. And since it is naturally acidic, it breaks down the plaque stuck to the teeth.

10). Get Rid Of Bad Breath -

Bad breath could be embarrassing for those who are suffering from it. It lowers down your self-confidence level and makes you feel inferior to others.

ACV can help you in getting rid of bad breath. This is because of the presence of malic and acetic acids, the acidic properties of which can create a hostile environment for the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Also, ACV contains a rich mixture of minerals like potassium, sodium, magnesium, copper, sulfur, and calcium – all of which help support oral health. In addition, since ACV helps improve digestion, it banishes bad breath as well (as digestive problems can also result in bad breath).

Apples are also known to cure bad breath because of their richness of fiber and crunchiness – two factors that help scrub away the food remnants in your teeth that might cause bad breath.

You can buy ACV online too on Amazon

Penasaran dan ingin segera membuatnya? Yuk langsung saja di simak Bahan-bahan dan Cara Membuat Resep Es Hitaro seperti berikut ini.

Step by Step Membuat Resep Es Hitaro

Resep es lilin hitaro by @novaicchha_manullang_can2rino

Bahan-bahan ES Hitaro :

Ketan hitam 1/2 liter
Kacang hijau 1/2 kilo gram
Gula pasir 2 kilo gram
Powder drink rasa talas 250 gram
Tepung maizena 1 ons
Susu bubuk instan Dancow putih 1 ons
Santan kental banget 800 mili liter
Daun pandan 10 lembar (jangan yang terlalu besar, biar aroma pandannya tidak lebay)
Vanili bubuk 1/2 sendok teh
Garam halus 2 sendok teh
Air secukupnya

Langkah Membuat Es Susu Pensil Hitaro :

Untuk ketan hitam baiknya di rendam dahulu selama 24 jam, air rendaman di ganti 2 kali.
Proses pembuatannya sama ya Bun untuk ketan hitam dan kacang hijaunya. Jangan lupa di cuci dan rendam dulu ya.

Adonan 1 (Bubur Kacang Hijau & Bubur Ketan Item) :

Masak kacang hijau dan ketan hitam secara terpisah (di masak terpisah satu-satu di panci yang berbeda dengan air secukupnya, untuk air tidak perlu banyak) dengan di tambah masing-masing vanili 1/2 sendok teh dan 5 lembar daun pandan yang di remas terlebih dahulu. Aduk-aduk terus jangan sampai gosong.
Masak terus sampai mengental dan benar-benar pecah merata menjadi bubur kacang hijau dan bubur ketan hitam. Sisihkan.

Adonan 2 (Santan dan Gula) :

Masak santan kental 800 ml + gula pasir 2 kg + maizena 1 ons + air 1 liter + garam halus 2 sendok teh. Aduk rata, dan masak sampai mendidih.
Biarkan uap menghilang lalu tambahkan 1 ons susu bubuk Dancow dan power drink rasa talas.
Kalau ada yang bertanya kenapa harus power drink? Karena menurut saya rasanya jadi lebih mantap di banding menggunakan pasta. Aduk rata. Sisihkan.

Proses Pencampuran Kacang Hijau, Ketan Hitan dan Taro :

Saat sudah suam-suam kuku blender bubur kacang hijau dan bubur ketan hitam sampai halus. (Kalau untuk es mambo hitaro boleh tidak diblender dahulu, untuk eceran 1000).
Jika ingin menggunakan bubur kacang hijau dan bubur ketan hitam yang tidak diblender lagi, saran saya buat lagi adonan bubur kacang hijau dan ketan hitam untuk tambahan agar rasanya lebih mantap bagi adonan yang akan di buat es mambo hitaro, kalau buat es susu pensil hitaro cukup mengikuti resep di atas.
Selanjutnya campur adonan kacang hijau dan ketan hitam yang sudah di blender satu per satu ke dalam adonan 2 (adonan santan dan gula). Aduk rata, lalu tambahkan air matang. Boleh yang sudah dingin, boleh yang masih hangat suam-suam kukus sampai jumlah adonan es hitaro menjadi 10 liter.
Adonan es hitaro siap di kemas ke dalam plastik pensil ukuran 1.8 x 22 / 1.7 x 23 atau plastik mambo (plastik es lilin).

Setelah keasikan bikin donat yang di bantuin Mama, kali ini saya baru menyadari kalau menghias donat itu merupakan hal yang tidak mudah. Lihat saja tuh, topping donat saya berantakan semua. Menghias donat ternyata benar-benar butuh ketelatanan agar toppingnya bisa cantik dan rapi. Jadi kalau malas menghias donat kentang, saya cukup gunakan gula donat dan coklat meses saja.

Untuk Donut Dusting yang di sebut gula donat alias gula icing saya selalu gunakan Donut Dusting yang saya beli di TokoWahab.com. Gula donat dengan merek Donut Dusting ini merupakan gula yang didesain spesial untuk taburan donat. Gula ini tidak akan meleleh meski sudah diaplikasikan dan di simpan di suhu ruangan. Selain sebagai taburan donat, gula ini juga bisa digunakan untuk topping, decorating, donut dan cookies.

Sedangkan untuk coklat meses dan meses warna-warninya saya gunakan Tulip Chocolate Rice. Rasanya enak dan super nyoklat. Untuk coklat mesesnya saya juga beli di TokoWahab.com. Di sana harganya grosir, jadi lumayan murah untuk Bunda yang punya bisnis roti dan makanan.

Oke langsung saja, yuk di intip Bahan-bahan dan Cara Membuat Resep Donat Kentang seperti berikut ini.

Step by Step Membuat Resep Donat Kentang Super Empuk

Donat Kentang Via Resep Kue Keringku

Bahan-bahan Donat Kentang :

Tepung terigu protein tinggi 500 gram
Susu bubuk 50 gram
Ragi instan 11 gram
Kentang kukus 200 gram (haluskan dan dinginkan di suhu ruang)
Gula kastor 100 gram
Mentega 75 gram
Garam 1/4 sendok teh
Kuning telur 4 buah
Air dingin 100 mili liter

Topping / Taburan :

Donut Dusting / gula donat
Coklat Meses
Keju
Kacang almond
Madu
dll sesuai selera

Cara Membuat Donat Kentang Goreng :

Langkah awal campur tepung terigu, susu bubuk, gula halus dan ragi. Aduk sampai rata.
Tambahkan kentang halus, masukkan kuning telur dan tambahkan air sedikit demi sedikit sambil di uleni sampai rata dan setengah kalis.
Selanjutnya tambahkan garam dan mentega, harus di uleni sampai kalis dan elastis. Diamkan kurang lebih selama 20-30 menit, lalu tutupi dengan serbet lembab agar adonan tidak kering.
Kempiskan adonan, bagi dan bentuk bulat (saya bagi menjadi berat 50 gram dan dicetak menggunakan cetakan donat). Diamkan kurang lebih selama 20-30 menit.
Goreng donat dengan menggunakan api sedang cenderung kecil sampai kecoklatan. Angkat dan tiriskan.
Setelah dingin bisa di beri topping Donut Dusting, Coklat Meses, Keju dan lain sebagainya sesuai selera.

Walaupun cukup mudah untuk membuat donat kentang NCC ini, namun ada hal yang perlu di perhatikan agar sukses membuat donat yang enak, menul-menul dan tetap empuk walaupun di makan esok harinya. Untuk itu yuk langsung saja di simak tipsnya.

Tips Sukses Membuat Donat Kentang :

Pertama-tama siapkan semua bahan dengan baik, tanpa ada yang tertinggal satupun, termasuk garam.
Seperti halnya membuat adonan roti, harus selalu di ingat kalau ragi atau mentega tidak boleh bertemu dengan garam, karena nanti raginya mati dan tidak bisa mengembang adonannya alias bantet. Jadi harus di perhatikan untuk memasukkan garam dan mentega setelah adonan sudah kalis saja.
Selanjutnya haluskan kentang sampai benar-benar dingin. Soalnya nanti kalau kentang masih panas di masukkan ke adonan, bisa mengakibatkan ragi mati dan tidak berfungsi.
Uleni adonan sampai kalis elastis sampai ketika dibulatkan permukaannya harus licin sehingga donatnya bisa cantik setelah di goreng.
Selalu gunakan api sedang, agar donat tidak cepat gosong.
Gunakan sumpit, buat gerakan memutar pada lubang donat ketika donat mulai digoreng dan merekah agar bentuknya membundar cantik. Gerakan memutar ini juga membantu terbentuknya donat yang bundar.
Setelah salah satu sisinya kecoklatan, segera balikkan dan teruskan menggoreng sampai sisi yang lain kecoklatan.
Segera angkat dan tiriskan.

We often discard corn silk, and it's treated as waste. When I was a kid, I collected corn silk whenever I saw someone peeling fresh corn and played masak-masak with it. It's like playing with hair! Absolutely fun and environmentally friendly. LOL!

I saw this recipe years ago, it reminded me that I've seen corn silk sold at Cameron Highlands, and the store owner told me it's good for the kidneys. I've also read about it saying it's diuretic and good for people with water retention. According to Baike.com, it's good for edema, hypertension, diabetes, jaundice, gallstones and it's also good for lactation purposes. Benefits of corn silk can also be found on WebMD. And it could also help with fat reduction, as said in this research paper.

How To Make Soft Cheese Sponge Cake | Super Fluffy Castella Cake With Cheese - 古早味起司蛋糕現烤蛋糕棉花蛋糕

There is an old Vulcan proverb saying that only Nixon could go to China. Only a man who used to work for Joseph McCarthy could set America on a path to better relations with a virulently Communist country. A few years after Nixon went to China, Menachem Begin, the Israeli Prime Minister who represented people believing that the state of Israel should stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates, gave Egypt back all the lands conquered in a recent war and made a lasting peace with Israel’s largest enemy. They said back then that only Begin could make peace with the Arabs.

Today, I want to submit to you that only Trump can make single-payer health care happen in this country. Only a billionaire, surrounded by a cabinet of billionaires, representing a party partial to billionaires, can make that hazardous 180 degrees political turn and better the lives of the American people, and perhaps the entire world as a result. Oh, I know it’s too soon to make this observation, but note that both Mr. Nixon and Mr. Begin were deeply resented (to put it mildly) in their times, by the same type of people who find Mr. Trump distasteful today. The liberal intelligentsia back then did not have the bona fides required to cross the political chasm between one nation and its ideological enemies, or as real as death immediate foes. The liberal intelligentsia today lost all credibility in this country when it comes to providing a universal solution to our health care woes.

Free health care (and free college) are not solutions. These are rabble rousing slogans to gin up the vote, slogans that end up in overflowing trashcans left in ballrooms littered with red white and blue balloons after everybody goes home to get some sleep before the next round of calls to solicit funds from wealthy donors for the next campaign. Providing proper medical care to the American people is a monumental enterprise that engages tens of millions of workers from all walks of life, every second of every day, in every square mile of habitable land, littered with the hopes and fears of hundreds of millions of invisible men, women and children who call this great country their home. This is not something that can be made free. Nothing is free in our times, not even sunshine and fresh air.

For the jaded, the cynically inclined, and those who are simply too afraid to jump off this cliff, and therefore argue that single-payer is not politically feasible, I have a simple question. Did you all think a couple of years ago, that a President Trump is politically feasible? Okay then. Here is what I believe could be a relatively plausible scenario enabling this one-of-a-kind administration to use its unconventional political capital (if you can even call it that) to get us on the road to making health care great again, greater than ever before.

Step 1: Disaster

The current system, held together with string and duct tape must undergo a seismic shock, preferably a moderate shock and one that does not involve war and famine. The way things look now, the most likely implosion will be the Obamacare individual market. If the Trump administration holds back ransom money from insurance companies (a.k.a. CSRs), or engages in other mischievous behavior, and the individual mandate is not enforced, we may very well have a minor disaster on our hands. In addition, the President's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis is requesting that the President declare the opioid epidemic a national public health emergency. Put these two together and you see how lots of people are, or will shortly be, in dire need of medical services not currently available to them via existing “insurance” channels.

Step 2: Relief

The opioid crisis will need much more than providing care for its current victims, but we will need a coordinated effort to provide all necessary medical services to people addicted to opioids who are uninsured, or whose insurer is refusing to pay for the extensive programs needed for recovery. People who were able to afford insurance under Obamacare without, or with minimal, subsidies and are now left hanging to dry will also need a solution, and if they are sick, they will need immediate relief. This would be the perfect time to cut through the red tape and institute the Disaster Relief and Emergency Access to Medicare (DREAM) program. The DREAM will open Medicare to the victims of Obamacare and the victims of the opioid epidemic. This will be put in place as a temporary disaster response program, subject to extension of course, until a more permanent solution can be found. I doubt too many people in Congress could vote against such measure.

Step 3: The DREAM

No matter how short lived, all government programs including temporary ones need rules and regulations to execute now, and to be replicated in future emergencies as needed. Besides, any respectable bill needs more than just a title. How do we define opioid addiction? How do we define Obamacare victim? How do they sign up? What do they get? How much will it cost?

Opioid Crisis

Congress will appropriate $45 billion for this program for a period of five years to cover administrative costs, medical costs and program analysis costs.
Emergency funding will be provided to Federally Qualified Community Centers (FQHCs) to set up a process for opioid addiction screening. FQHCs are non-profit clinics, funded by the Federal government to serve low income populations regardless of ability to pay. All physicians and staff are salaried. The funding will be administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and defined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Any American citizen or lawful permanent resident will be eligible to access any FQHC and undergo opioid screening as specified by the Secretary at no cost. Individuals eligible for relief, based solely on clinical criteria, will need to provide information about their insurance status. Upon receipt of consent from the individual or legal guardian if the screened individual is a minor, eligibility results and insurance information will be sent from the FQHC to CMS for enrollment in the DREAM program.
If the eligible person (EP) is currently covered by commercial insurance, CMS will contact the EP’s insurance plan and require that the plan contacts the EP or legal guardian and obtains proper consent to transfer the EP’s coverage to the DREAM program. Following EP consent, Medicare will become the primary payer for the EP. Medicare at its sole discretion may discontinue eligibility for the EP and the commercial plan must reinstate coverage for the EP at that time. All subsidies paid by the Federal government to the insurance plan, if any, will be paid into the Medicare trust fund for the duration of DREAM participation.
The EP will pay to Medicare premiums equal to the last monthly amount the EP paid to the commercial plan. Medicare will cover all opioid related services with zero deductible and zero copay. For other services the EP deductible and copays will be equal to those of traditional Medicare beneficiaries (parts A, B and D). Medicare will end DREAM eligibility for an EP who missed 3 consecutive monthly payments.
If the EP is insured, or eligible to be insured, through Medicaid or any other public program, Medicaid or any other public program, will transfer into the Medicare trust fund estimated monthly premiums as calculated by the Secretary for the duration of DREAM participation. Medicaid will become the secondary payer for EPs previously enrolled, or eligible to be enrolled, in Medicaid.
If the EP is uninsured and not eligible for public insurance, the EP will be enrolled in Medicare (parts A, B and D), under the same terms as beneficiaries 65 years or older for the duration of DREAM eligibility, except that all opioid related services will be covered with zero deductible and zero copay.

Obamacare Crisis

Congress will appropriate $45 million for this program for a period of five years to cover program administration, evaluation and analysis. All other program costs, if any, will be absorbed by CMS budgets.
Any American citizen or lawful permanent resident who is not offered employer sponsored insurance, and is not eligible for Medicaid or another public insurance plan, and is not eligible for Federal subsidies on the Obamacare exchanges equal to at least 50% of total costs of the current benchmark plan, or resides in a county where no Obamacare plans are available on the exchange on the first day of the open enrollment period, will be eligible to enroll in Medicare parts A, B and D, at an annual rate of average Medicare spending per beneficiary (MSPB), adjusted for EP age.
The Secretary shall publish a list of DREAM premiums for three age bands, 0-21, 22-45, 46-64, no later than one month before the first day of open enrollment for the Obamacare exchanges. All DREAM rates will be assessed and billed for each individual EP. No family rates will be available and no Federal subsidies will be given to DREAM enrollees.
The EP, or a legal guardian if the EP is a minor, is responsible for premium payments to Medicare. EP deductible and copays will be equal to those of traditional Medicare beneficiaries (parts A, B and D). Medicare will end DREAM eligibility for an EP who missed 3 consecutive monthly payments.
For each program year the Secretary shall conduct and publish comparative analyses of Federal spending on Obamacare exchange enrollees and DREAM program enrollees to inform Congress and the public on the merits of each program.

Step 4: Consequences

See? Wasn’t that bad now, was it? Defining the program is relatively easy and the above is just an abbreviated example. Other details will need to be added, removed or changed, but the main idea here is to open Medicare in the short term to people who are hurting and are underserved by the commercial health insurance markets. There will of course be consequences. First, the Obamacare exchanges will most likely go bust, and we will have to expand the DREAM to allow enrollment of people who will bring their subsidies with them. Second, employers may decide to fund Medicare premiums instead of dealing with health insurance in house. Third, the folks who don’t qualify for the DREAM program may start chomping at the bit, seeing how DREAMers get to choose pretty much everything without breaking the bank.

Yes, yes, I know. I’m being too clever by half, but surely someone who professes to be the voice of the forgotten men and women, could see his way clear to make this happen. It will, after all, lead to a complete repeal and replace of Obamacare. And for all timid liberals enamored with the poetry inscribed at the feet of Lady Liberty, let’s help the President erect a statue of liberty at the gates to Medicare.

Only Trump Can Go To Single-Payer

Hello Angels !!!

You are Apple of my eyes ! 😃😄😊😍

How are you ??? Hope you are doing well !

As life is getting more busy and busy,We have less time for us and hectic schedules made it difficult for us to follow a strict health regime.In this rat race, we forget that why we are doing it all ??? For success..For money...For our family??? But is it really enjoyable if we are not healthy ??? To enjoy everything for which we are working hard, we should be healthy, fit & fine.

Now, many of us, think that we get less time so we are unintensionally careless about our health.People want to be healthy but they are complaining of less time and it is very common.They think they don't have any time to spend hours in jim or follow strict healthy rules.Some say they can't afford.

But, believe me, it is not so hard and complicated as it looks.Even a bowl of fresh fruits can make you more healthy and fit.And among these fruits, Apple is really amazing.

You might have heard "An apple a day...keeps the doctor away !!!" And Yeah...It is not wrong.
I know, unfortunately everyone can't afford even fruits like Apple, pomegranate etc. here as they are too much costly.But, if we can, then it is better to spend money on fruits which keeps you healthy than on treatment of diseases and doctors fees in future.We don't know what happens next or in future but at least we can try to keep ourselves healthy by eating fresh fruits.Everything needs an effort !!!

So, today, I am writing this articles on Apple sharing awesome info about it, how healthy it is !🍏🍎

So, let's begin......

Health Benefits of red delicacy - Apple.

By Admin Saturday, August 5, 2017

As is customary for every administration in recent history, the Trump administration chose to impale itself on the national spear known as health care in America. The consequences so far are precisely as I expected, but one intriguing phenomenon is surprisingly beginning to emerge. People are starting to talk about single-payer. People who are not avowed socialists, people who benefit handsomely from the health care status quo seem to feel a need to address this four hundred pound gorilla, sitting patiently in a corner of our health care situation room. Why?

The all too public spectacle of a Republican party at war with itself over repealing and replacing Obamacare is teaching us one certain thing. There are no good solutions to health care within the acceptable realm of incremental, compromise driven, modern American solutions to everything, solutions that have been crippling the country and its people since the mid-seventies, which is when America lost its mojo. To fix health care, we have to go back to times when America was truly great, times when the wealthy Roosevelts of New York lived in the White House, times when graduating from Harvard or Yale were not cookie cutter prerequisites to becoming President, times when the President of the United States conducted meetings while sitting on the toilet with the door open and nobody cared. Rings a bell?

Single-payer health care is one such bold solution. Listening to the back and forth banter on social media, one may be tempted to disagree. We don’t have enough money for single-payer. Both Vermont and California tried and quit because of astronomic costs. Hundreds of thousands of people working for insurance companies will become unemployed. Hospitals will close. Entire towns will be wiped out. Doctors will become lazy inefficient government employees and you’ll have to wait months before seeing a doctor. And of course, there will be formal and informal death panels. Did I miss anything? I’m pretty sure I did, so let’s enumerate.

Single-payer is going to bankrupt the nation

We have $3 Trillion in our health care pot right now. We have 325 million Americans, men women and children of all ages. First grade arithmetic says we have almost $10,000 per year to spend on each American, the vast majority of whom is either young or healthy or both. For comparison, Medicare spends on average around $12,000 per year for the oldest and sickest population. Last year a platinum plan for a 21 year old cost less than $5,000 per year and this includes the built in waste of private health insurance. So please, tell me again how we can’t afford to pay for everybody’s health care needs at a Medicare actuarial level, which is slightly less than commercial platinum.

And no, we need not increase taxes either. You keep paying what you’re paying. Your employer keeps paying what it is paying. The government keeps paying what it’s paying. But instead of dispersing all that cash to all sorts of corporate entities standing in line with their golden little soup bowls ready to catch the last drop, we put it all together in one big beautiful barrel, and pay for care directly to those who provide care - one pool, one budget, and one accounting system for all. This is a national endeavor. It is irrelevant that Vermont failed and California bungled the whole thing. Do you think California and Vermont could afford to provide for their own armies, air force and navies? I didn’t think so.

Single-payer will cause millions to lose their jobs

Hundreds of thousands of people work for commercial insurers. Claims need to be processed, money needs to be collected and paid out, books need to be kept, customers and service providers need to be supported, computers have to be maintained, audits need to be performed, contracts need t be managed, lots and lots of labor and lots and lots of decently paying jobs. Do you have any idea how Medicare administration works? Or are you under the impression that Medicare runs itself with no human labor? Have you ever heard of Noridian or Cahaba? No? Then I respectfully suggest that you should refrain from opining about the horrors of single-payer.

Medicare is run by private administrative contractors called MACs, each assigned to specific geographical regions and specific portions of Medicare services. In addition to the MACs there are slews of functional contractors that specialize in one or more types of supporting services to the MACs. These are private entities no different from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Hewlett-Packard, Booz Allen Hamilton, GE and many more. They employ thousands of people and if Medicare becomes our single-payer, there will be more MACs, more functional contractors, and hundreds of thousands more private employees.

That said, it stands to reason that consolidation from many payers to one, will introduce some efficiencies and the total number of available jobs will be reduced, so here is a solution to this potential problem. Currently all insurers including Medicare and Medicaid are offshoring claim processing and in the case of private insurers other functions, including clinical, as well. Change the regulations and bring those jobs back home where they belong in the first place, and offer them to those who will lose their commercial insurance jobs. This administration is especially well positioned to effect such changes to CMS regulations.

Single-payer will take away our freedom

What if Sam’s Club only carried General Mills cereal and Costco only carried Kellogg’s? What if you had a Costco membership but stopped by another store to pick up some Cheerios and were charged ten times as much as Sam’s Cub sells it for? No it’s not exactly the same, but you get the idea. Would you consider this to be freedom of choice? Or would you rather have one big huge market where all brands sell their products directly to you competing against each other? The latter is how single-payer could work. Freedom to shop for an insurance plan is freedom to shop for your preferred rationing scheme and ultimately your own flavor of death panel.

Traditional Medicare allows you to choose your doctor and your hospital and it pays for all medically necessary services. No commercial plan can say the same unless it’s one of those platinum things nobody can afford. Traditional Medicare can do that because it sets the prices for all health care providers, instead of negotiating with a few preferred vendors. Medicare can take these liberties because it’s big enough and because it’s a Federal program. But Medicare doesn’t pay for everything. That’s why most seniors purchase supplemental plans if they can afford them, and if they are poor enough, Medicaid kicks in as the secondary payer. Being the safety net for the fixed price single-payer should be the sole function of a new and federally administered Medicaid.

Single-payer will destroy our health care

I think American medicine is the best in the whole world. Not because it’s expensive and not due to the corrupt ways in which it’s being financed, but in spite of these things. Finding a better way to pay our medical bills has nothing to do with the quality of American medicine. The concern here is that once Medicare becomes the only game in town, it will unilaterally cut its fee schedules and all hospitals will go bankrupt, all doctors will be driven into homelessness, no new drugs will be developed and we’re all going to die. On the other hand, the Federal government is the sole purchaser of aircraft carriers, stealth bombers, and weaponry of all types. How cheap are those items? How powerless and decrepit is that industry?

Precisely because of the lessons learned from the mighty military industrial complex, single-payer reform will have to change three things in the structure of our current so-called health care system. First, all hospital consolidation and acquisition of physician practices will need to be rolled back. Second, petty regulations, vindictive carrots and sticks strategies and crude attempts at social engineering by clueless bureaucrats, will have to be dismantled brick by brick. Third, physicians will need to form a union of independent small contractors to negotiate fees and terms alongside the already powerful hospital associations. I have been a longtime proponent of a physicians’ union, even in our current system, to serve as check and balance to corporate greed and government arrogance. A single-payer system cannot and will not succeed without unionized independent physicians.

Single-payer is not the American way

We have been conditioned by large corporations to think that what they do to us is the nature of free-markets, and thus the only way to achieve prosperity for all. I would submit (for the millionth time) that what Apple is doing to the world has nothing to do with Adam Smith’s free markets. The actors in classic free markets must be approximately equal. When sellers are so big that they need artificially intelligent tools to even notice the existence of buyers, there is no free market. When the price of products sold exceeds the lifetime incomes of most buyers, there is no free market. When no one can muster enough moral turpitude to publicly say that if you’re poor, your babies should die, there is no free market. There is no free market and there can be no free market in health care.

There can however be competition. Perhaps not in sparsely populated areas, and perhaps not for highly complex procedures, but there can be competition for most health care services in most places. The uniform single-payer price should be set so that innovative hospitals and entrepreneurial physicians can thrive by charging less and those holding themselves in higher than usual esteem, or those who choose to provide luxury, are free to charge more. If all sellers are small enough, and if the standard single-payer price is fairly negotiated, we will have a real market, because people will shop to save money (in a rewards system like credit cards have) and some will shop for status and vanity.

Will there be a role for private insurance? There could be, but private insurance should not be allowed to cover any services covered by the single-payer because that would take us back to where we are today. Let private insurance cover stuff nobody needs, but wealthy people like to flaunt, like fresh baked brioche for breakfast after having a baby, or executive physicals in palatial settings, and let those things become frightfully expensive, as these types of things usually are in a free market.

Single-payer will create a new set of losers. Health care executives making tens of millions of dollars every year for no particular reason will be losers. Perhaps they can find new careers at Boeing or Lockheed Martin seeing how their expertise is easily transferable. Health insurance stocks will tank and improperly managed pension funds will also lose bigly. People running for elections will see a major cash cow go dry after the initial struggle is over and done with. There will be powerful losers and it won’t be easy.

But Obamacare has its losers too. Hard working, taxpaying middle class citizens were the designated losers of Obamacare. Some by commission and most by omission, because Obamacare made no attempt to solve the health care problems facing the vast majority of workers with employer sponsored health insurance. That bomb keeps ticking away at a steady pace. The newly empowered Republican Party has nothing to offer either, and I can’t blame them. There is nothing more we can do here. We tried everything else, and now it’s time to do the right thing. It’s the American way.

Is Single-Payer the Right Payer?
