Grace Mugabe Zimbabwe African National Union
Robert Mugabe has been the repressive dictator of Zimbabwe since December 31, 1987. Zimbabwe was previously a British colony, Southern Rhodesia, and a shortlived Republic, known as Rhodesia. [1] He violently oppresses anyone who opposes his government. He has cracked down on dissidents and violently seized farms from white (and many black) farm owners - seizures that led to much of the land becoming desolate as those who took the land knew about guns, not farming. A black nationalist, he eventually established one-party rule in his country, becoming Executive President of Zimbabwe in 1987 with his Marxist "Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front" (ZANU-PF).[2]
In his 27 years in power, he has gone from the poster boy for the "New Africa", ruled by educated, democratic leaders, to the bottom of the heap. Under his rule the health and well-being of his people have dropped dramatically, with his arbitrary arrests and torture of anyone considered to be an opponent. According to the World Health Organization, Zimbabwe has the world’s shortest life expectancy - 37 years for men and 34 for women. It also has the greatest percentage of orphans, about 25%, says UNICEF, and the worst annual inflation rate. Mugabe last won a "free" election in 2002 but “won” only after having his leading opponent arrested for treason. Mugabe attempted to oust Morgan Tsvangirai from the political scene in 2008, however he failed and Mugabe lost to Tsvangirai, but refused to step down. The Zimbabwe parliament has forced Mugabe to accept Tsvangirai as his Prime Minister, a post Mugabe previously removed. [Who says?]
if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = "show"; var tocHideText = "hide"; showTocToggle(); }Mugabe came into power after being one of the rebel leaders who fought against Rhodesia's white government. The various rebel groups, although not neccessarily ZANU, were given training, arms and political support by China, the Soviet Union, East Germany, North Korea, Mozambique, Tanzania, Cuba, Libya, Ethiopia and the Communist Party of Great Britain. The UK and the UN did nothing, as Ian Smith, the Rhodesian government leader, had done absolutely nothing to endear himself to the world. Indeed, when faced with the prospect of having to grant equal rights and representation to the country's black citizens, he had responded by unilaterally declaring independence from Great Britain. Eventually, the British did step in and negotiated the Lancaster House agreement, which brought full democracy to Zimbabwe. Mugabe won the subsequent election - which was free and fair - by some margin, thus beginning his rule over the country.
Similar to many dictators Robert Mugabe has a personality cult. Nearly every major city and villiage in Zimbabwe contains a Mugabe road. Many Schools that had distinctly western names were changed to Robert Mugabe Acadamy or similar variations. [3]
Although nominally Marxist, Mugabe's policies are best described as the policies of extreme self-interest, where everything and anything goes as long as it serves to preserve his grip on power. The democratic process has been reduced to a farce by ballot stuffing and voter intimidation, his redistribution of land from farmers to his cronies and supporters has resulted in disastrously low harvest, and his refusal to accept aid, advice or criticism from outside have led to a cholera epidemic and an annual inflation rate of approximately 516,000,000,000,000,000,000%[4]. Violence and fear have become ingrained into everyday life in the country, and all who oppose him are tarred with the tag of subversives and dealt with in brutal fashion.

Sorry, I could not read the content fromt this page.The IRS Is Accessing Your Health Records. You Trust Them?
So how do you feel about turning over access to sensitive healthcare information to the Internal Revenue Service?
In the wake of running disclosures of the agency’s nefarious snooping and political targeting, its new role as chief health insurance enforcer should give us heartburn.
Under Obamacare, responsibility for verifying eligibility for the healthcare program, and monitoring whether you carry “qualifying” health coverage (and are exempt from the law’s penalties) falls principally to the IRS.
The IRS was given expansive, new powers to execute these goals. That includes more authority to share your personal information — not only about your income, but also your healthcare.
And the agency’s reach only grows: Former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman told Congress last year that the agency would need another $13.1 billion to implement Obamacare in 2014, on top of the billion it has already spent.
Officials at the U.S. Treasury, the parent of the IRS, have estimated that the IRS now has about 700 full-time staffers working on Obamacare implementation.
Estimates say that eventually, the IRS will need a minimum of 5,000 and perhaps as many of 16,000 additional employees to carry out the new law’s many mandates.
The IRS is under fire this week, after its Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner admitted on Friday that the agency targeted conservatives for special tax-exempt scrutiny during the 2012 election season. IRS targeted tea party types and groups that specifically opposed the Obama Administration.
This abuse should give everyone pause heading into the fall, when the IRS assumes the lead roll in monitoring what kind of health insurance we carry, whether we are eligible for Obamacare, or subject to the legislation’s myriad list of financial penalties.
A link to more than 75 regulations, notices, guidance documents, and other public directives on how the IRS will implement various provisions of the Affordable Care Act can be found HERE
These are just some of the ways that the IRS will regulate your healthcare.
1. The IRS is responsible for implementing 47 new healthcare tax provisions under Obamacare. These include the right to levy a penalty against businesses and individuals who don’t provide or acquire insurance, determining how to distribute annual subsidies to those qualifying for subsidies to buy the Obamacare coverage, and deciding how to deliver tax credits to small businesses that buy coverage for workers.
2. The IRS will also include new paperwork with everyone’s’ tax returns starting next year, to monitor the decisions all of us make with respect to our health insurance. This tax document must contain sufficient information for taxpayers to prove that they purchased qualifying health insurance under Obamacare.
According to American’s for Tax Reform, at a minimum, the form will need to contain: the name and health insurance identification number of the taxpayer; the name and tax identification number of the health insurance company; the number of months the taxpayer was covered by this insurance plan; and whether or not the plan was purchased in one of Obamacare’s “exchanges.”
You can view the projected IRS form at www.ObamacareTaxForm.com. On the form, lines 3-4 show where taxpayers will disclose their personal health ID information.
3. The IRS will also have to actively share with other agencies, state exchanges, and maybe even individual health plans; the financial information of folks purchasing coverage on the Obamacare exchanges (and qualifying for subsidies). Right now, there’s no other way to make sure people qualify for the federal money.
The new enrollment form unveiled two weeks ago – for people to use in applying for the Obamacare subsidies — failed to ask the relevant and probing questions that the government will need to know in order to verify financial eligibility.
The Obama White House probably wanted to stoke a perception that the application will be simple. They had been criticized for the form’s first iteration, which ran dozens of pages.
But the shorter that form is, the more burden the government assumes on itself to cross reference the application with income information maintained by the IRS. It’s now clear that the IRS will be heavily involved in vetting eligibility for the subsidies and the new exchanges.
4. Among other things, the IRS is now requiring employers to report the cost of the healthcare coverage you get at work under an employer-sponsored group health plan on an employee’s Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, in Box 12. The IRS says that this reporting is for informational purposes only, to show employees the value of their health care benefits. But it could be a first step to taxing those benefits.
5. Obamacare also creates a new definition of income – “household income” — that could be used to change tax liability down the road. Household income is meant to include not only the income of the family principals such as a husband and wife, but also the income of all other members of the “household” who live with the family.
You can follow Dr. Scott Gottlieb on Twitter @ScottGottliebMD
This is not limited to children. According to the Tax Freedom Institute, any person who qualifies as a dependent under code section 151 is included in household income. This might be a grandparent, for example, or a grandchild. Measuring household income is a way to determine eligibility for Obamacare’s subsidies.

With each passing day, more is discovered about the Affordable Care Act (ACA, Obamacare) confirming all of our worst fears about this law. The majority of discussion regarding Obamacare has been concentrated on issues involving implementation, such as state health insurance exchanges or Medicaid expansion.
It has also focused on the crushing financial implications of the law, such as the 18 new taxes created by the ACA, or the dramatic rise in healthcare insurance premiums, or the projected $2.7 trillion price tag. This narrative is understandable because the majority of people doing the reporting are pundits, talking heads and policy wonks.
The missing piece in this narrative is the havoc that this law is creating in the lives of so many patients. Despite minimal implementation of the ACA thus far, the effects on many patients is already devastating- something very much under-reported.
Last month we learned that cancer clinics were turning away Medicare patients as a result of cuts brought about by the sequester. The cuts would result in a decrease in Medicare reimbursement to these private clinics by as much as 28%. This has forced these clinics to find alternative treatment facilities for these patients, which in some cases may be thousands of miles away from their homes. This is tantamount to a death sentence for some patients, for whom travel is not possible because of both economic and health reasons.
The creation of high risk pools for patients with pre-existing or expensive medical problems was touted as one of the achievements of Obamacare (Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, PECIP). It has never lived up to its expectations. The predictions were that by this time, over 1 million people would be participating, but it stalled at about 100,000 because this coverage was more expensive than anyone had anticipated. And further enrollment was halted because the money ran out. Now it appears that the shortage of funds may jeopardize the continued coverage for those patients currently enrolled.
The GOP leadership in the House of Representatives, sensitive to the needs of these patients, introduced HR 1549, which would transfer money from other ACA programs into the PECIP. President Obama however, threatened a veto if this bill reached his desk. He apparently has little concern for these patients and if it means that they need to be sacrificed in order to proceed with continued implementation of the law, then this may be the price that needs to be paid. Try telling that to the patients though.
