Concerns About Cpp Survivor Benefits

... 9 hours ago  |  Vote 0    0. Concerns about CPP survivor benefits: docs. OTTAWA — Sheila was 62 when her husband died. For three years she continued to work full time as a nurse, collecting survivor benefits under the Canada Pension Plan. When Sheila retired at age 65 and began collecting her CPP retirement pension, she bumped into the financial ceiling the government places on the amounts retirees can receive under the public pension scheme and the survivor pension disappeared. Internal government documents show that the cap on benefits is a key complaint about the program that retirees want the government to address. And one government evaluation of the Canada Pension Plan program shows that the cap on survivor benefits could be hitting retirees today harder than they have in the past. Sheila asked to not use her last name for privacy reasons because her late husband was a police officer in Ontario for 25 years. His police pension and her own private pension has meant she has done OK financially, but the same can't be said of some of her friends. For them, she says, the cap remains a serious issue. Federal Finance Minister Bill ...

Nh Docs Debate Safe Drug-use Rooms In Hospitals

... and others to help prevent cravings and withdrawal, but do not produce a high or feeling of euphoria. If patients are admitted to the hospital with injuries following a motor-vehicle accident, or they have been diagnosed with hepatitis and are addicted to drugs, physicians do have the ability to legally provide this type of therapy to prevent withdrawal, Savage said. "I think that we have evidence-based treatment and pilots that are already working, and we should use those before moving to something that has not yet been studied and is probably more perpetuating of the addiction," she added. Still, Savage acknowledged that this is not yet the standard of care in New Hampshire, and that opioid-agonist therapy treatment should be embraced by the health care community. "It takes a little change in perspective. There is still a misunderstanding and general discomfort about it," she said. Aside from exploring in-hospital safe drug-use rooms, Lahey said outpatient rooms that could be accessed by nearby hospitals and clinics should also be considered as an option. He stressed that there is clear data that most hospitals throughout the nation ...

Trump Resigned From Business Before Taking Office, Docs Say

... compliance officer would ensure that the Trump businesses do not take "any actions that could be perceived as exploiting the office of the presidency. She said the ethics adviser would analyze Trump Organization deals for potential conflicts of interest. See the full 19-page document from the Trump Organization. The letter released to CNN still did not satisfy independent experts in government ethics, who have repeatedly urged Trump to liquidate his holdings and hand the proceeds over to an independent trustee who controls them without his knowledge, a structure known as a blind trust. "It clearly doesn't resolve the conflict of interest or Emoluments problem since this doesn't deal with his financial interests," said Larry Noble of the Campaign Legal Center. The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution prohibits the president from accepting payments from foreign governments. It is the subject of a federal lawsuit filed against the president on Monday by an ethics group. Noble added that the letter does nothing to limit Trump's communications with his companies or to prohibit him from advising them. Dillon, the Trump lawyer, said at the January 11 press ...

Ufo Sightings & Psychic Powers Revealed In Newly Released Cia Docs

... information against documents shielded from normal perception,” in a project code-named ‘Stargate.’. These efforts weren’t limited to mere mortals, however, as none other than Israeli-born, celebrity psychic Uri Geller was brought in to test his psychic mettle against the researchers. Geller  attempted to duplicate a series of drawings produced in a nearby room without any knowledge of the topic or theme of the doodles. They ranged from a firecracker to a bunch of grapes and even a quick sketch of our solar system. While Geller did have some surprising success throughout the experiments, the CIA decided not to pursue the research beyond its initial stage. If this all sounds familiar, that’s because it is; the 2009 film starring George Clooney and Ewan Mc Gregor named 'The men who stare at goats' drew heavily from rumors and reports about psychic warfare research conducted by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies. While the release of millions of pages of ...

... points to a letter from 2003 claiming the department and county knew about Large’s actions, and they were working diligently to protect the detective. That motion could keep this portion of Jane Doe’s case from going to trial. The motion asks that a partial judgement be awarded to Jane Doe. The letter cited as evidence was addressed to former Deputy Chief Scott Rutherford, former Chief Paul Goward, former Internal Investigator Captain Charlotte Stephens, and former Horry County Council Chairman T. Cooper.

Docs Face Uncertain Livelihood

... and secure and need not worry about their rice bowl. It is this aspect of the medical profession that is indeed being severely threatened in recent years. The fresh young doctor begins his or her career waiting for months and even up to a year to get a job. Those who need to feed their families are forced to find temporary jobs as a waiter, cab driver or clinic assistant. Some may see this as a good humbling “job experience”. But in truth, it is shameful and demoralising after five to six intense years of training and with great expectations. Finally, the doctor gets a job, a short-term contract that has no security, reduced benefits and a “constant threat” of termination hanging over his head. The rigorous training period of two years is already very challenging with a drop-out rate of 20%. With a short-term contract, the young doctor will face added pressure, especially under severe and strict conditions, and the potential of abuse by autocratic ...
