Paula Conte 1090 Washington I was on that post. I saw the post to Steve. He just had you because you live ori his street. He was not tryirig to villainize. you. That's a11 it was. He was not trying to make you seem small or that you did this. I don't want you to feel that anybody was targeting you. Mr. Jerorrie replied, I understand. It turned into something more. Facebook's great for your family photos and pets and stuff: Ms. Conte stated, that's how people get the word out. Honestly, I was the first one to share it. I am sorry, but I did, because that's the way I can get the word out. Mr. Jerome stated, right. The main thing which I stated was I was trying to avoid a discussion on Facebook that may be just limited to the people in the post.

I know people who did that. You can't do that anymore because the insurance industry has caught up with that process and these people are interconnected. At this point in time if you have a health event that is going to be paid for by some insurance that you have, it has to be by your principal policy. Only one of these two policies will pay that bill. You can't - collect on both of them. For example, I may be full-time employed by somebody else and be a Council person. I may be self-employed and be a Council person. I may be retired or otherwise not employed and be a Council person. But I had insurance somewhere else before I became a Council person. Now I am a Council person and I am going to use a device within the structure
