About Medicare

Our health care system is broken,and Americans are feeling thepain.Washington needs to addressthis. We can start with some practicalsolutions that members of both polit-ical parties should agree on.

First, we should expand theChildrens Health Insurance Program.Right now millions of children areuninsured. We should immediatelypass bipartisan legislation to helpcover them.

Second, we should grant Medicarethe ability to negotiate with drugcompanies to bring down the cost of medicines. This will help contain thespiraling costs of that program.

Third, we need to give consumersinformation needed to make wise healthcare decisions. To that end, Ive intro-duced consumer protection legislationthat would require insurance companiesto have a standardized description of benefits. Just like the sticker you see

when buying a car, you shstraightforward informat

health care plan youre choosFourth, we should redudeploying electronic healand making better use of itechnology. In many ways, bureaucracy is stuck in the d

Fifth, we should alloimportation of prescriptiolower costs for consumeroutrage that Americans daccess to the same high-quprescription drugs that are avfar less in Canada.

Many Medicare patients do notknow that the program will payfor some treatments in one state butnot another.

For instance, a new prostate cancertreatment called CyberKnife is coveredby Medicare in New Hampshire butnot across the border in Vermont.

This mainly affects new treat-ments like CyberKnife, which is notcovered in Colorado, Wyoming and15 other states. States decide if thetreatment is too experimental and

does not have a long enough historyof success.

CyberKnife is a newtreatment for prostate canmore convenient than tprocedures, requiring onlyof treatment instead of eigSome doctors say it iimprovement; others say know enough about its long-term effects and cinvestigational.

Anew federal regulation nowallows states to charge low-income Medicaid patients premiumsand higher co-payments for theirhealth services.

Co-payments will not be muchfor the poorest patients, only about$3.50 for a doctor visit, for instance.But some Medicaid patients withincomes above the poverty level willpay up to 20 percent co-pays forservices. Some will pay $30 for a$150 drug prescription.

of them are Tincup and Saint.incup is northeast of ison, about 12 miles south of or Park Reservoir on theberland Pass Road (or 26north of the town of Pitkin).

incup was a wild, wickedng town controlled entirely byrs of the saloons, gamblingand whorehouses. The townthrough seven sheriffs in a

hort years.he first sheriff, known as Old

Willis, was told: Seeng, hear nothing, do nothing.first arrest you make will belast.

Willis soon resigned because heved no pay. His successor,Lahay, jailed several people

was fired.he third sheriff was gunned

n by Lahay. The fourth wasby the owner of Frenchys

Saloon, one of the most notoriousdives in early Colorado.

The fifth sheriff, Jack Ward,quit to become a preacher. Thesixth, Sam Micky, went insane andwas committed to an asylum.

The seventh was shot. Only theeighth sheriff managed to last outhis term.

It was 1860 when, according toearly residents, a prospector namedJim Taylor dipped his tin drinkingcup in a stream here and sawflakes of gold in the cup. Somepeople said that was how the townof Tincup got its name.

By 1882 Tincup had 3,000 resi-dents, 20 saloons and enoughwhorehouses for an army. Businesswas booming, especially at theundertakers place. The town hadfour cemeteries.

One visitor was awakened onemorning when someone fired eightshots into his tent. He never knewwhy.

The mines began to play outquickly, and by 1890 Tincup wasin decline. It slumbered for years,but it was located in such a scenic

area that people began buildingsummer cabins there in the 1900s,

Tincup in the late 1800s. Colorado Historical Society.

and today it is a popular vacationspot.

Saint Elmo was over theContinental Divide east of Tincup,southwest of present Buena Vistaand 17 miles west of the town of Nathrop.

Founded in 1880, Saint Elmowas both a mining camp and supplytown for other camps in the area. Inthe mid-1880s, its populationreached nearly 2,000 but declinedrapidly after a fire destroyed muchof the town in 1890.

In its heyday, Saint Elmo wasso crowded that men slept onsaloon floors and any place theycould get out of the weather.

One visitor recalled asking ahotel owner for separate rooms forhimself and a friend. The ownerreplied, Ill give you a bed, andyou can draw a chalk mark aroundit for a room.

he upper Poudre Canyon.hortly after 1880, Lukehees began operating a stagen that route from Fort Collins

rd Walden. He did it becausemining towns of Lulu City and

r City had been establishedof Cameron Pass.orhees ran a daily stagecoachd by six horses. By changings every 12 or 15 miles, thee could make the trip overron Pass in one day. But it was

g day and a rough ride.

Pioneer Norman Fry recalledthat, even for good stage drivers, thetrip was a tricky business: The one-track wagon road was nothing tobrag about...just literally the widthof a wagon track...It was quite an artto drive a single rig over the roadwithout upsetting.

The stage also delivered mail toseveral post offices. Livermore postoffice opened in 1871. Anotheropened at Chambers Lake in 1880,Rustic in 1880, and Kinnikinik in1882.

Stages could not run in deepwinter snows, so mail had to bedelivered by men wearing snow-shoes or riding on a bobsled pulledby a horse. In 1881, John McNabboften snowshoed from ChambersLake post office, over CameronPass, to Teller City near Gould todeliver mail to miners.

It was a hazardous trip in thosehigh mountains where an avalancheor wild animal could mean suddendeath to a man walking alone.Freezing to death could be equallythreatening. McNabb lived throughit, mainly because he was a strong,

determined pioneer.In 1913-1914, a blizzard isolated

Poudre Canyon from Decemberuntil May. All roads were closed,and the small mountain settlementswere cut off from the rest of theworld for months, except for snow-shoe or bobsled travel.

Things were better when StanleySteamer automobiles came along inthe early 1900s. But not always. In1912, a group of travelers pulled theircar onto the edge of the canyon roadto let a team and wagon pass. The carslid off the side and tumbled down,spilling its passengers over the cliff.

Buy Long-Term Care Insurance?on Rutz, AttorneyCorrespondent

met with several long-term careance salespeople, but I amsed about what I have been

Any suggestions?

: Two basic questions need tonswered: Is the fear of losingthing because of nursing homenses realistic? Is the cost of term care insurance premiums

worth the protection gained underthe policy?

If you are over age 70, the oddsof being in a nursing home are about20 percent you never will be in one;20 percent you will stay for threemonths or less; 20 percent you will

stay for six months or less; 20percent you will be in a nursinghome for a year or less; and 20percent you will stay for more than ayear.

The average stay in a nursinghome is about 14 months. Thus forabout 80 percent of the populationover 70, nursing home exposure willbe for less than a year. However, forthe other 20 percent, the stay issignificantly longer, pulling up the

average to 14 months.Medicare will pay for up to threemonths of skilled nursing homecare. Thus many people qualify forat least part of that assistance period.

Lets say that a person is in anursing home for 14 months, quali-fies for two months of Medicarehelp, has a monthly income of $3,000, and the nursing home costs$6,000 a month. That person couldend up paying $40,000 for the 14-month stay.

However, remember that for 80

percent of the population over theage of 70, the amount will be less,since the odds are that they will bein a nursing home for less than ayear.

Thus, I recommend coverage fortwo years, depending on the healthand assets of a person. Also,

depending on income, amonthly coverage of arouto $4,000 should work.

I recommend that you foregoing only if you havebelieve that you will be p20 percent who will have

Many people will nfrom nursing home insuracially those with low incfew assets, and those wincomes and many assewith low incomes will get The wealthy wont need h

In 1916 John was elected to theU.S. Senate and they moved toWashington, D.C. where the hand-some couple from the West took thecapital by storm.

Then prominent writer FrancisParkinson Keyes said of Eula: I donot know a woman more generous inaction and outlook, more efficient,more attractive or more active.

Robert Redford was one amongthousands of people who stopped infor a visit with Hazie, Steamboatsconsummate hostess, said writer

Deborah Olsen.That incident might have occurredwhen Redford was attending theUniversity of Colorado after 1954.Today, Hazies restaurant on the skimountain is named in remembrance of the woman whose sons, Buddy andLoris Werner, were Olympic skiersand won many events in the 1950s.

So did their sister, Skeeter, whowrote a fine remembrance for theLegends book:

growing up in the best of two worlds:we lived on a ranch in the mountains,and I came into town for school...

Early Days in Fort Collins906 tracks and overhead elec-wires for a trolley system wereructed in Fort Collins. A redtrolley barn was built to house

rolleys at North Howes andy streets.he first trolley line ran fromge Avenue west on Mountainity Park and Grandview

etery. The system was laterded to South College Avenuehen north to the Great Westernr Factory and Lindenmeier

n accident occurred near thefactory when a steam shovel

rolley collided. The trolley wasily damaged, and the motorwas injured. But generally, the

ys were a safe way to travel.he old M108 trolleys were builte Woeber Carriage Company iner, with seats for 44 passen-One-way fares were five centsrides for a quarter. 1919 Fort Collins voted to

hase and operate the system.

The heavy trolleys were replacedwith four smaller street cars built byBirney Standard Safety CarCompany. They were painted darkgreen and yellow, and nicknamed bysome residents the gallopinggoose.

For the next 32 years, the streetcars transported residents; butpeople began driving their ownvehicles, and there were fewerriders. In 1951 the city councildiscontinued the trolley system.

Tracks and overhead wires wereremoved. The city disposed of threestreetcars. But one old car, number21, was donated to the PioneerMuseum. For about 25 years, it satdeteriorating at Lincoln Park.

In 1976 the Junior WomensClub began to restore the old trolley,and in 1977 the Fort CollinsMunicipal Railway Society wasorganized by railroad and historybuffs.

It took many years of volunteerlabor to complete the restoration of

stories. And she did includeal history; she just didnt kill it

with dullness.She became interested in history

while writing for the Denver Post.Publisher Frederick Bonfils didntquite know what to do with her; sohe suggested she interview some of Denvers early settlers who were

still living. She did, and liked it.She then earned a mastersdegree in history from theUniversity of Denver and begantraveling throughout the state to findghost towns and people who couldprovide stories. She drove a jeepthousands of miles in the highcountry, visiting more historical sitesthan anyone else in her time.

Along the way, she and a friendusually enjoyed some libationstations where they stopped and gotout the gin bottle. She traveled with

both male and female companions.Although never married, she hadseveral suitors.

And she moved in Denvers mostelite social circle, the Sacred 36headed by the wealthy Mrs.Crawford Hill. Bancroft was notwealthy, but her grandfather hadbeen; and he was among the firstsocially elite in Denver.

Her grandfather, Fred Bancroft,was a doctor who came to Denverby stagecoach in 1866 after servingin the Civil War. He became rich

from his medical practice plusinvestments, and was one of thefounders of the Colorado HistoricalSociety.

Carolines father lost that fortunethrough bad investments, alcoholand womanizing. So she had to finda way to earn a living. She found itby writing the little history booklets.

She was one of the few writers in

Colorado who actually made aliving from her writing. She sold thenearly two dozen different bookletsherself to curio shops, bookstoresand tourist shops throughout thestate.

It wasnt a great living, but

enough to allow her to do what shewanted, which was to be the granddame of Colorado history. That gaveher an identity.

It also made her an authorityinher own eyes at least. She openlycriticized other historians if shethought they made a mistake. Thatincluded James Michener, author of the popular book and televisionseries Centennial. Bancroft saidhe made mistakes.

Her friends included some of themost celebrated people of the time:

Mary Coyle Chase, author of thePulitzer Prize winning playHarvey; writer Mari Sandoz andothers. She knew Evalyn WalshMcLean, who owned the famous 44-carat Hope Diamond.
