Health Care Protests Intensify
“The bitter sessions (town hall meetings) underscored the challenge for the Obama administration as it tries to win over an increasingly skeptical public on the costly and far-reaching task of revamping the U.S. health care system. Desperate to stop a hardening opposition, the White House created a Web site to dispel what it says are smears and House Democrats set up a health care "war room" out of Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's office to help lawmakers handle questions.” (Associated Press August 8, 2009)

On July 24, 2009, Fortune Magazine identified the following freedoms that will be lost if current health care reform is successful:

Freedom to choose what's in your plan
Freedom to be rewarded for healthy living, or pay your real costs
Freedom to choose high-deductible coverage
Freedom to keep your existing plan
Freedom to choose your doctors

President Obama, on fixing health care, proposes the following, as shown on his "Organizing for America" website:

Reform the Healthcare System
We will take steps to reform our system by expanding coverage, improving quality, lowering costs, honoring patient choice and holding insurance companies accountable.


Promote scientific and technological advancements
We are committed to putting responsible science and technological innovation ahead of ideology when it comes to medical research. We believe in the enormous capacity of American ingenuity to find cures for diseases that continue to extinguish too many lives and cause too much suffering every year.


Improve preventative care
In order to keep our people healthy and provide more efficient treatment we need to promote smart preventative care, like cancer screenings and better nutrition, and make critical investments in electronic health records, technology that can reduce errors while ensuring privacy and saving lives.



This is a reminder that employers must complete Form I-9 each time they hire any person to perform labor or services in the United States in return for wages or other remuneration. This must be completed within three (3) business days of the first day of work.



Completing Form I-9 for every new employee is a requirement for all U.S. employers by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Incorrectly completing Form I-9 can result in penalties as outlined on p. 21 in the the attached link. To assist employers in completing Form I-9, a link to the Handbook for Employers has been attached. http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/m-274.pdf

A copy of the most current Form I-9 is located on our website at: http://www.cygnusresources.com/forms/new-hire-paperwork/i-9-1.pdf/view
