Anyone gotten their health insurance bill from Empyrean ?
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Statements were delayed this month. We sent them out on April 17, 2015. We are aware that it was sent late so we will give you a grace period to send in payment for May. You will have until May 30 2015 to make that payment.
I ended up printing the on-line invoice and mailing in the payment despite receiving no bill.
Was Empyrean the LLNS selected low bidder?
"Do not pay. Your account will automatically be drafted on 05/01/2015"
But 5/1 came and went and no such auto debit occurred. I talked to Empyearn twice that day and to LLNS as well. One Empyrean person told me it would still post by the end of the day on 5/1 which clearly turned out not to be true. A second Empyrean person told me "they were being told it could take up to 7 more BUSINESS DAYS before the payment will be debited". Well that was certainly news to me. I asked who "they" were and she said Empyrean's financial people. She said it's because this is the first payment and it takes time to set up all the transfers... So... What to do. I am considering writing a check and sending it along with a note, telling them to apply this if the auto-debit has not yet occurred by the time they get the check. And otherwise, to apply the check to my account anyway and I will have a credit for future payments. Haven't decided for sure to do that but that's where I'm leaning. But your comment, May 3, 12:47 am makes two of us who were told not to pay and that our account would debit on 5/1, but it didn't happen.

That would be the normal expectation, if you are not a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
