As Pelosi care is being pushed down our throats and unemployment may be the highest since the great depression, Afghanistan is in the background. We must not forget our brave men and women across the world in distant outposts. Tomorrow we honor their service and sacrifice as well as all those came before them. Tomorrow as you go through your day, take the time to thank a veteran for their service.

2nd Congressional Candidate Scott Taylor was honored to be invited by VETS FOR FREEDOM (www.vetsforfreedom.org) to join them for “Vets on the Hill, Afghanistan 2009″ in Washington DC, Thursday November 4, 2009. He proudly joined VETS FOR FREEDOM as they met with Congressional leaders in support of our troops and General McChrystal.

Vets for Freedom

“President Obama approved a counterinsurgency strategy in March. General McChrystal requested the additional troops to achieve America’s objectives more than 60 days ago! While Government run Healthcare is being forced upon us and the President has been out campaigning in Virginia and New Jersey, some of our Nation’s finest are deployed to remote and distant outposts. They are outnumbered and under-resourced. Last month was the deadliest of this war. If three of our most experienced and knowledgeable military leaders, Admiral Mullen, General Petraeus, and General McChrystal, are united on an objective and a strategy to achieve it, it’s time to implement that strategy! We must defeat the insurgency and then set conditions for Afghans to take over the security of their own Country while denying safe haven to AL Qaida and the Taliban. The lack of leadership and indecisiveness on the part of our President is unacceptable for a Commander in Chief! I stand with these proud Veterans and expect the President’s decision NOW,” Taylor demanded!

“As a NAVY SEAL and Iraq War Veteran, I pledge to fight for our brave military men and women who selflessly sacrifice and serve us so that America remains strong and free! Afghanistan certainly poses tough challenges but our military has always accepted difficult challenges and I have confidence that, given the necessary support, they will prevail again! We need leadership. The time has come to make the right decision. If the goal is to defeat rather than to surrender to terrorism, then we must arm our military with the resources and weapons to accomplish the mission. As a SEAL I frequently say good-bye to fellow SEALs as they are being deployed. I empathize with military families and understand firsthand the stresses of war. Without giving them the support they need, it is Washington politicians that are failing in Afghanistan!

As Revelation 3:16 says: ‘So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.’ It’s time for President Obama to stop being lukewarm!”

John Allen Muhammad executed, can not think of a better place for the POS

It only took too long and was not harsh or cruel enough for this POS.

JARRATT, Va. (AP) – John Allen Muhammad, the mastermind behind the sniper attacks that left 10 dead, was executed Tuesday as relatives of the victims watched, reliving the killing spree that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area for three weeks in October 2002.

The 48-year-old Muhammad looked calm and stoic, but was twitching and blinking, tapping his left foot as the injections began, defiant to the end, refusing to utter any final words. Victims’ families sat behind glass while watching, separated from the rest of the 27 witnesses, who were quiet, looking straight forward, intent on what was happening.

“He died very peacefully, much more than most of his victims,” said Prince William County prosecutor Paul Ebert, who witnessed Muhammad die by injection at 9:11 p.m. at Greensville Correctional Center, south of Richmond.

Muhammad was executed for killing Dean Harold Meyers, who was shot in the head at a Manassas gas station during the three-week spree across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Nelson Rivera, whose wife, Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, was gunned down as she vacuumed her van at a Maryland gas station, said that when he watched Muhammad’s chest moving for the last time, he was glad.

“I feel better. I think I can breathe better,” he said. “I’m glad he’s gone because he’s not going to hurt anyone else.”

Muhammad never testified or explained why he directed the shootings, and his secrets died with him.

Meyers’ brother, Bob Meyers, said watching the execution was sobering and “surreal.”

“I would have liked him at some point in the process to take responsibility, to show remorse,” Meyers said. “We didn’t get any of that tonight.”

J. Wyndal Gordon, one of Muhammad’s attorneys, described his client in his final hours as fearless and still insisting he was innocent.

“He will die with dignity _ dignity to the point of defiance,” Gordon said.

Victim after victim was shot down while doing everyday chores: shopping, pumping gas, mowing the lawn. One child was shot while walking into his middle school.

The terror ended on Oct. 24, 2002, when police captured Muhammad and his teenage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, while they slept at a Maryland rest stop in a car they had outfitted for a shooter to perch in its trunk without being detected.

Malvo, who was 17 when carrying out the attacks, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing Linda Franklin, a 47-year-old FBI analyst who was shot as she and her husband loaded supplies at a Home Depot in Falls Church, Va.

The men also were suspected of fatal shootings in other states, including Louisiana, Alabama and Arizona.

The U.S. Supreme Court turned down Muhammad’s final appeal Monday, and Gov. Timothy M. Kaine denied clemency Tuesday.

Muhammad’s attorneys had asked Kaine to commute his sentence to life in prison because they said Muhammad had brain damage and neurological problems, as well as psychotic and delusional behavior, exacerbated by the Gulf War Syndrome he suffered as a sergeant in the first Iraq war.

“I think crimes that are this horrible, you just can’t understand them, you can’t explain them,” said Kaine, a Democrat known for carefully considering death penalty cases. “They completely dwarf your ability to look into the life of a person who would do something like this and understand why.”

A small group of death penalty opponents gathered on a grassy area near the prison and had a sign reading, “We remember the victims, but not with more killing.”

Muhammad was born John Allen Williams and changed his name after converting to Islam. He had been in and out of the military since he graduated from high school in Louisiana and entered the National Guard. He joined the Army in 1985. He did not take special sniper training but earned an expert rating in the M-16 rifle _ the military cousin of the .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle used in the D.C. shootings.

The motive for the attacks remains murky. Malvo said Muhammad wanted to extort $10 million from the government to set up a camp in Canada where homeless children would be trained as terrorists. Muhammad’s ex-wife said she believes they were a smoke screen for his plan to kill her and regain custody of their three children.

Sonia Hollingsworth-Wills, the mother of Conrad Johnson, the last man slain that October, sat in the back seat of a car outside the prison before the execution, which she chose not to witness. But she said she wanted to be there and was counting the minutes until Muhammad’s death.

“It was the most horrifying day of my life,” she said. “I’ll never get complete closure but at least I can put this behind me.”

Associated Press writers Steve Szkotak in Jarratt, and Bob Lewis in Richmond, contributed to this report.

42% of Americans strongly oppose public option, 52% oppose it

So much for Americans wanting socialized medicine, from Rasmussen:

Over the weekend, Democratic leaders spoke of an historic moment as health care reform legislation passed the House of Representatives. But that legislative victory failed to significantly move public opinion.

 

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Most (52%) remain opposed.

 

Only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly Opposed.

 

Support for the plan has remained essentially unchanged for months. Last week, it was supported by 42% and two weeks ago support was at 45%. It has generally stayed between 41% and 46% since July, and support has bounced above that level only in the wake of nationally televised appeals by the president.

 

As has been the case for months, Democrats favor the plan while Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party are opposed. The latest numbers show support from 81% of those in the president’s party. The plan is opposed by 90% of Republicans and 58% of unaffiliated voters.

 

Rasmussen Reports continues to track public opinion on the health care plan on a weekly basis.

 

(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it’s in the news, it’s in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

 

Fifty-two percent (52%) of voters now say passage of the legislation will increase health care costs while 53% say it will hurt the quality of care.

 

Still, 56% now say the reform plan is at least somewhat likely to become law. That figure includes 20% who say passage is Very Likely. The debate now moves to the Senate where a different version of the legislation is expected to emerge.

 

Roughly half the interviews for the current survey were completed before Saturday’s House vote on the health care bill. However, there was not a significant difference in polling before or after the vote.

 

Over the weekend, the abortion issue divided Democrats and created challenges for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Earlier polling showed that 48% nationwide favored the abortion ban but most supporters of health care reform didn’t want to address the issue. Just 13% of all voters wanted abortion coverage mandated in the legislation.

 

Another issue that arose during the debate was immigration. Eighty-three percent (83%) of voters say that proof of citizenship should be required before anyone can get health care assistance from a government program.

 

Voters also favor competition and 65% would like to remove the existing anti-trust exemption for health insurance companies. Two-thirds (66%) say an increase in free market competition will do more than government regulation to reduce health care costs.

 

While voters are skeptical of the plan working its way through Congress, 54% say major changes are needed in the health care system. Sixty-one percent (61%) say it’s important for Congress to pass some reform.

 

But most fear that the plan might encourage companies to drop coverage for employees and shift their workers on to the government health care plan. A plurality of Democrats believe this would be good for workers, but most Republicans and unaffiliated voters disagree. As Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, wrote recently in the Wall Street Journal: “The most important fundamental is that 68% of American voters have health insurance coverage they rate good or excellent. … Most of these voters approach the health care reform debate fearing that they have more to lose than to gain.”

 

Health care reform remains the top priority for Democratic voters. However, it ranks fourth on a list of four among Republicans and unaffiliated voters. Overall, 38% of voters see deficit reduction as most important among the four priorities listed by the president earlier this year, while 23% cite health care reform as tops.

 

Polling on the health care topic by many firms has created some confusion. In particular, polls on the “public option” show a wide variety of results. A recent poll in The Washington Post found that 57% support a government-run health insurance company to compete with private insurers, but Rasmussen Reports polling shows that support is very soft. In fact, people are strongly opposed to a public option if they think it could lead employers to drop the existing coverage they provide employees. The fact that results are so subject to change based upon minor differences in question wording suggests that voters do not have firm opinions on the public option.

 

Virtually all polling shows a plurality or majority opposed to the current plan in Congress. The poll in The Washington Post found just 45% support for the congressional plan among all adults. Additionally, support for the current plan has remained stable suggesting that public opinion is firmly established at this time.

 

Other recent polling shows that 49% would rather see no health care legislation passed this year than see the current bill become law. Two-thirds (66%) say an increase in competition is more likely than increased government regulation to reduce the cost of health care. That’s one reason there is strong support for removing the exemption from anti-trust laws currently enjoyed by insurance companies.

 

Only 31% believe Congress has a good understanding of the proposed health care reform.

Watch out Tom Perriello and Gerry Connolly, your days of not representing your constituents are getting close to being numbered.

Feda Morton for Virginia’s 5th District

She sounds like a winner:

 

 

Greetings!

 

At times in life there are opportunities where you and I can really make a difference in our nation’s government. Today is one of those moments.

 

Our nation is in crisis. Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are imposing socialist programs at breathtaking speed, and there has been little effective Republican opposition. This moment demands principled, articulate leadership. That’s why I want to introduce you to Feda Morton, a lady who has been extremely impressive to me as a woman of faith and a lover of freedom.

 

Last year we lost a tremendous champion of freedom and the faith of our Founding Fathers when we lost Virgil Goode as Congressman in Virginia’s 5th District, by 727 votes. Now, instead of representing the values of his constituents, liberal Democrat Tom Perriello has been a rubber stamp for the socialist policies of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi.

 

It is our duty to return a truly conservative congressman to office in Virginia’s 5th District, one who stands for the God-given principles of life and liberty. I believe I have met the perfect person to win back this crucial seat.

 

I had the privilege of meeting Feda Morton some time ago, and was very impressed not only by her resume, but by her understanding and knowledge of the issues of our day, and her commitment to the ideal that “we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights” as her guide her in policymaking. Our Founders believed this-so does Feda.

 

Feda has long been a champion of conservative principles, standing up to those in her own Republican Party who were determined to move the party away from these principles.

 

She has been a homeschooling mom, a career teacher in Fluvanna County schools, and a winning coach. She has served in elective office as a school board member and Republican county chairman for many years, serving in my campaign and the campaigns of Ollie North and George Allen, among many others.

 

While serving as Chairman she built a strong, thriving, principled Republican party in Fluvanna County-one of the areas of the 5th District that has a lean history of Republican activity.

 

She already has the support of conservative leaders across Virginia, including Republican National Committeewoman Kathy Terry, former Republican Party of Virginia chairman Pat McSweeney, and me.

 

But what most impresses me about Feda is her commitment to her faith and her basic approach to government. She is not embarrassed by our national motto that we are one nation under God-in fact, she believes this in an unshakeable manner. Unlike President Obama, she would never make a speech in a foreign nation denying the Christian heritage that has so richly blessed this nation. Yet, like the early Virginians who led the way for the advancement of religious liberty as an example to the whole world, Feda is absolutely committed to religious liberty for every person of every faith.

 

She is one of the rare people seeking to go to Congress who actually believes in all of the principles of the Constitution which limit the power of government to control our faith, our speech, our press, and our pocketbooks. The voting record of the current congressman demonstrates that he does not believe in the concept of limited government. He fully embraces the liberal mantra that government must provide for all of our needs to save us from ourselves.

 

Other candidates may be considering this race, but Feda Morton offers the tough, principled leadership that is our best chance to win back this crucial seat. She is a refreshing, all-too-uncommon straight shooter who doesn’t deal in the typical political “nuance”; she simply tells it like it is, and is guided by her core beliefs. She is an impressively articulate spokesperson for our values.

 

But, a successful campaign will have to raise money quickly in order to compete against the millions of dollars the left will pour in to keep this seat. Virgil Goode was defeated by an all-out financial assault against him, led by George Soros, and Hillary Clinton’s fundraising machine. The left cannot afford to allow a staunchly pro-life, articulate conservative woman like Feda to be elected. The whole weight of the Obama/Pelosi/Soros money machine will be thrown at us.

 

To compete, Feda must raise a substantial amount of money, and that is where I come in! I am asking you to do two things for me:

 

First, call Feda and introduce yourself to her, and I am sure you will be as impressed as I am. Please feel free to use my name in your conversation with her. She can be reached at 434-953-5274, or at fedaforcongress@gmail.com.

 

Secondly, I am asking you to pray, then give her campaign as much as you can, up to the legal limit of $4,800 (for a couple). Our nation is at a crossroads. There is no time for delay. This moment in history, like that of the Founders, demands our sacrifice for freedom. Your early contribution, made payable to “Feda for Congress,” will give our race a tremendous boost right out of the starting block.

 

Every grassroots campaign needs yard signs, flyers and money for mailings. And yes, beating back Obama and Pelosi will require lots of TV advertising too.

 

Your gift today of $4800, $2400, $1000, $500, $100 or even $50 will help us raise the vital “early seed money” we need to successfully launch this campaign. Our goal is to raise $50,000 by December 1, and I ask for your support in helping us rise to this great challenge.

 

Please visit Feda’s website, www.fedaforcongress.com, and make your contribution today to help Feda Morton bring our shared values of life, liberty, faith, and limited government back to Washington.

 

I look forward to working with you in this vital effort. Thank you for caring enough to sacrifice for freedom. Your support will carry us back to victory next November!

 

 

Yours for Freedom,

 

 

Michael Farris

 

P.S. This will be one of the hottest races in America in 2010. We need your committed support right away to combat the Obama/Pelosi/Soros money machine. Please join “Team Feda” today, by sending your most generous possible contribution of $4800, $2400, $1000, $500, $100, or even $50 TODAY! Thank you!

Krystal Ball tries to explain why the public option is good, while bringing up every point that makes it bad

Krystal Ball, the somewhat unintelligent college graduate from King George, Virginia, who thinks she can be in Congress because she is a mommy, tried to explain on her campaign blog why the public option for health care is so great and why she supports it. Though since she must have failed her economics and government classes in school, she brings up an absurd argument of why the public option is good.

First Mrs. Ball says,

I am an advocate for individual liberty, for freedom of choice, for competition and for limits on the government’s power to interfere in our daily lives. Believing in limiting government interference is very different than hating government. I don’t hate government, I deeply admire our form of government, I think that our founding fathers developed the greatest model for government that the world has ever seen. I believe all these things and I absolutely support the public option in health care reform. I support the public option because I believe that giving people greater choices increases their freedom. There are a number of specific reasons why I support the public option: (i) there are states where health insurance markets are virtual monopolies with no competition; (ii) we have a responsibility to make coverage available to those whom the private insurance market chooses not to protect; (iii) the costs of our current private insurance system are destroying the ability of US companies to compete abroad and lowering the costs to employers is a matter of economic necessity for our country.

Well if Mrs. Ball was such an advocate for personal liberty and limited government, she would advocate the government to limit the regulations on insurance companies that prevent them for selling policies across state line or in other parts of the state. Second, if Mrs. Ball believed in limited government she would know, that no where in the United States Constitution does the government have a responsibility to provide medical coverage to a single damn person (I guess that King George High School civics class and government at UVA did not do a good job teaching her that). Third Mrs. Ball government regulations and taxes are what are killing American businesses, not insurance for workers, and Mrs. Ball haven’t you stated your support for Cap and Trade, that would destroy American Manufacturing and take it back to pre industrial revolution levels.

Next Mrs. Ball says,

I understand why many people are hesitant and fearful of a public option. They fear that the Federal government’s involvement in providing health care will be a slippery slope toward a government take-over of the health care system, where government bureaucrats decide who gets care and choice is extinguished as private insurance withers and dies in the face of government largess. I would just ask those people to look beyond the anti-government rhetoric and walk through with me the parts of our daily lives where we already have a government operated “public option.” For the security of our homes and families, we can build fences, hire alarm companies, engage private security and form a neighborhood watch, but we can also rely on a “public option” called the police. You are free to buy fire extinguishers for your house, to install a sprinkler system or to use the “public option” called the fire department. You can use FedEx or the public option, called the post-office. Seniors have had a public option in Medicare since 1965. It is one of the most popular government programs ever enacted. It didn’t result in a government take-over of the health-care system. Moreover, Medicare has lower overhead and administrative costs than private insurance and it provides our most-vulnerable citizens with life-saving care, irrespective of whether or not covering them is profitable.

Krystal, maybe you need to read up about medicare, it’s broke first off, second off there is more fraud, waste, and abuse in medicare then any other government program. Also, doctors waite months for reimbursement from medicare and then do not get a full reimbursement, that is just such a great program there. Also, your comparisons of fire fighting and police work to government ran healthcare as asinine at best. Law Enforcement and fire fighting are reactive professions, medicine is both pro active and reactive. Doctors and scientist send lifetimes trying to make drugs and procedures to stop, prevent or eradicate diseases, law enforcement and fire and rescue only go into action after they receive a call. A better comparison may have been the DMV, where you wait hours in line to get waited on, or maybe social services or child protective services, who do not get children out of abused homes, because of a bureaucratic backlog and being over worked. One other thought, Mrs. Ball a huge majority of the fire and rescue personnel in your district, if you won, are volunteer, not government paid.

And finally Mrs. Ball says,

Our commercial insurance sector is the most flexible and innovative in the world. Private insurers who can figure out a way to offer people an insurance product that they want, at a price they want to pay, will prosper. Those who rely on lobbyists and cozy relationships with large employers to provide shoddy coverage at high prices will wither in the face of any public option. And good riddance to them. The idea that the government will be such a formidable competitor that it will destroy private insurance and then deliver shoddy care presupposes that the American people would choose shoddy care. We know that capitalism shows us otherwise. When the Soviet Union collapsed, government operated steel companies had to face private competition. The private companies beat the pants off the government operated companies, they made a better product at a lower price. The government steel plants didn’t get shut down because new private companies feared competition and spent millions lobbying to get the government plants shut down. The government plants shut down because they couldn’t make a product that people wanted at a reasonable price. That’s called competition. Right now, in many markets, we don’t have it. I support the values of democratic capitalism and wish to give consumers a meaningful choice over the life and death matter of their own health care. I support the public option.

First Mrs. Ball, the United States is not changing from socialism to capitalism, it is going from capitalism to socialism so your comparison of Russia, is null and void. How many private insurance companies can compete in a state now because of the government regulation, the answer is very few, add-on them having to compete with the government it will be none, the government has all the power and can make all the laws not the evil insurance companies. Mrs. Ball, what in the hell is democratic capitalism, I have never heard of the, there is capitalism and socialism and your support the later, not the former.

Krystal Ball is talking about the redistribution of wealth again

Virginia 1st Congressional District democrat challenger, Krystal Ball has been ranting on here Facebook and Twitter pages about income inequality again, including giving a link to some kook blog that says “It’s time to rebalance the economy” and use “redistributionist” to accomplish this (in other words tax the hell out of anybody and give it to those who don’t work). For some reason the Northern Neck of Virginia breeds Kooks, first there is Catherine Crabill and now this Krystal Ball women, the first one believes that the government blew up the Oklahoma City Federal building and this Krystal Ball keeps ranting on and on about income inequality and redistribution of wealth, where do they find these people an insane asylum.

Obama warns public against drawing conclusions in Ft. Hood incident, but drew his own conclusions in Professor Gates incident.

The amateur hour that has now turned into a amateur year continues, President Obama has  told Americans not to jump to conclusions after a LONE WOLF MUSLIM TERRORIST kills American soldiers at Ft. Hood, but Obama had no problem jumping to conclusion after his friend Professor Gates, was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Obama said that” We don’t know all the answers yet, and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts.” and we must remain calm. The evidence now shows that Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Ft. Hood shooter was a radical Muslim Terrorist, who hated America, and wanted the military out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Hasan also has called suicide bombers heroes, had said that non-Muslims or infidels should have their head cut off and set on fire, and had celebrated the death of an American solider outside a recruiting station in Arkansas in June, the solider was killed by a Muslim convert. The evidence by far shows that Hasan was a terrorist.

On the other hand in July, President Obama said that the Cambridge, Massachusetts police acted stupidly, when they arrested Professor Henry Gates, who is also a friend of President Obama. Obama made his commit during a prime time news conference, with no facts or evidence about the case, but he tells us to remain calm and not draw conclusions that Hasan was a terrorist.

Nancy Pelosi wants to send you to jail

Nancy Pelosi wants to send you to prison for 5 years and fine you $250,000 if you do not purchase health insurance under the democrat healthcare bill.

From the House Committee on Ways & Means:

PELOSI: Buy a $15,000 Policy or Go to Jail

JCT Confirms Failure to Comply with Democrats’ Mandate Can Lead to 5 Years in Jail

Friday, November 06, 2009

 

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

 

In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”

 

Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:

 

“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]

 

- – - – - – - – - -

 

“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]

 

- – - – - – - – - -

 

 

“Criminal penalties

 

Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:

 

• Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.

 

• Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3]

 

When confronted with this same issue during its consideration of a similar individual mandate tax, the Senate Finance Committee worked on a bipartisan basis to include language in its bill that shielded Americans from civil and criminal penalties. The Pelosi bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail.

 

“The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration. Speaker Pelosi’s decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates.
