Senator mccain accepted the medal and used the platform to speak about the dwieivisiveness. To fear the world we have organized and led for three quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of International Leadership and our duty to remain the last, best hope of earth, for the sake of some halfbaked spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems [ cheers and applause ] the cheers went on for several seconds before mccain spoke about people who unpatriotic and talked about liberty and freedom around the globe.

An accident to the shoulder. Another problem, an accident involving a tractortrailer and another vehicle on the p. A. Turnpikes eastbound side between the falls and delaware valley. About around mile marker 30 353. So just around this area. It looks to be like its right after route 1. Right now the alternate for you is to get off around route 1 at least so youre not stuck at the scene here. The medevac is on its way. When that typically lands in the area, they closes down. Its not just the eastbound they close down. Its not just the eastbound side. Well keep an eye on it for you. This may be a bigger problem than were seeing now. Back to you. Thank you. Overinsured . A problem a local father faced when he changed jobs. Next, a valuable lesson for anyone facing a change in health care coverage. Also, the carson craze. The eagles redhot success is taking their quarterback to new heights. Well show you his latest victory that you may not have seen during the game. 6 45. With so many people concerned about health insurance, one family says they have too much coverage. It seems like a good problem to have, but it brought on a wave of mystery medical bills. They called nbc10 responds for help. Harry hairston with the story. Hi, girls. If you saw Martin Rivera a few years ago on a philadelphia street, you might get an uneasy feeling. I work for the park authority. Reporter he that was guy. The one who would zap with a parking ticket. Then he got sick. I had a heart problem. I notified my supervisor that i would be out for a little bit. Rivera didnt keep in contact with them while he was out. The ppa fired him, sending him a termination letter. I didnt think anything about. It i said, okay, i decided to look for another job. Reporter fast forward two years. I got sick again. Reporter he went to the hospital and said he gave his current insurance card. A couple weeks ago, i got a bill for over 1,000 saying that im still under the aetna plan. Reporter the problem is, he has Keystone Insurance from his current job. He was covered two years ago by aetna when he worked for the ppa and was a union member. Keystone has more comprehensive conk and would have covered the coverage and would have covered the 1,258 charge. In 2015, my husband accessed care. Once again, aetna paid on it, and were going to be billed. Mart martin. Reporter martins wife showed us the website and the bills that are adding up. The bills should have been paid by our current insurance. Reporter they called aetna, but the Insurance Company told them the employer had to cancel the insurance. Then the Parking Authority said you need to prove it to us that you dont work there anymore. Reporter rivera didnt keep the termination letter ppa sent them. I didnt think to keep it, like i would need it two years later. Reporter he tried his union district, council 33. They told him they needed information he was no longer employed by the Parking Authority. Im not getting the check, not paying towards benefits. I havent paid union dues. Im hoping you can finds out resolve this. Reporter we reached out to the ppa. A representative says it did inform the union two years ago of riveras termination. The union tells us thats true. The issue all comes down to a glitch in a system. In fact, since we brought this to its attention, Council District 33 says its conducting an audit to see if there are other cases. As for the riveras, they were taken off the unions insurance and are happy the situation has been fixed. Harry hairston, nbc10 responds. Heres the takeaway if you switch insurance companies, make sure your medical provider is putting in claims to the right company. Once you give your card, ask to make sure the right insurance is being billed. If you have a Consumer Problem for nbc10 responds, let us know. The twice reach us are on the screen. We will respond to you. 6 48. We have breaking news. A better look of the accident on the p. A. Turnpike. Jessica boyington has an update. Right. We have skyforce 10 over the scene. The p. A. Turnpikes eastbound side. Medevac just got to the scene. I was waiting for a closure of the road right now. Its clearly involving a tractortrailer right here. It looks like stuff spilled also. Tow trucks on the scene. It looks like the eastbound side is still allowing cars to move through. Exactly where this is is eastbound between the falls and delaware valley. Specifically near mile marker 353. 8. Right now, with medevac on the scene, too, we are allowing one car or so at a time and one lane getting by. You see the westbound side here is completely open and not affected at all by this. This delay here is massive. The eastbound side, remember, its traffic that would be moving more toward the new jersey area if you have to lead that direction. Its going to cost you a little bit of a problem.
