Policy Benefits and Requirements. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Policies offered by MASA were designed to protect insureds and their immediate families from the reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expense associated with emergency medical transportation following the primary insurer’s reimbursement. Reasonable and customary expenses are determined on a case-by- case basis, considering a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the primary insurer’s determination of reasonable and customary expense and industry practice, based on national and regional norms, among other factors. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Policies are not represented and/or marketed as a primary level of coverage but rather as a supplement to such coverage; nor is a Policy intended to replace or take the place of primary insurance coverage. By offering and/or providing Policies to Employees, Employer represents and warrants that Employer also offers health insurance policies and plan options that provide a level of coverage for emergency, ground and air transportation based on reimbursement schedules that are consistent with other levels of coverage within the same policies and plan options and that do not unreasonably cap or otherwise limit reimbursement for emergency ground and air transportation. Failure by Employer to provide and/or maintain such coverage for Employees may be grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement. MASA can only be sold to groups that offer primary insurance to their employees. The Employee, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the respective Policy, acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided are meant exclusively to supplement Employee’s health and/or other insurance coverage(s). For that purpose, in the event that Employee fails to carry primary health insurance at time of claim, MASA shall be liable to Employee for no more than 20% of Employee’s Out-of-Pocket Expenses, but in no event will MASA pay more than twenty-thousand dollars ($20,000), per claim on an Emergent Plus policy. Waiver of such termination rights shall not prevent future enforcement of the same. 8. Tax Consequences and Fiduciary Obligations.

RETURN TO AGENDA  Pros and cons of electric and gas cars and why there should not be a ban on gas cars By Brooks Sexton RETURN TO AGENDA  Pros for gas cars Gas cars are generally more affordable than other types of cars. Gas cars are less expensive to maintain than other types of cars and have a lower risk of breakdowns. Gas cars have better acceleration and torque than other types of cars. Gas cars offer a more traditional driving experience than other types of cars. Gas cars can generally travel farther than electric vehicles (EVs). RETURN TO AGENDA Pros for electric cars •Reduce emissions: Electric cars don't emit exhaust gases, which helps improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions •Lower carbon footprint: Electric cars have a lower carbon footprint than traditional vehicles •Sustainable charging: Electric cars can be charged using renewable energy sources like solar or wind power RETURN TO AGENDA Cons of Electric Cars • Electric cars have several drawbacks, including limited driving range, • Longer charging times compared to refueling, higher upfront costs, • And potential environmental impact associated with battery manufacturing and disposal. • Charging infrastructure availability can also be a concern, and the cost of battery replacement is a significant factor. RETURN TO AGENDA Cons of Gas Cars They contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions Primarily concerning and air pollution, while also Gas cars have several their environmental impact incurring higher fuel and drawbacks, and operational costs. maintenance expenses compared to electric vehicles. RETURN TO AGENDA Ban on gas cars • Several US states, including California, New York, Washington, and others, have plans to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. These states are moving towards phasing out gas vehicles in favor of zero-emission vehicles, primarily electric vehicles, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. While this may be good in some ways 92% of the U.S. drive gas cars and many people prefer them more than electric cars. So, if we prohibit the production of gas cars many U.S. civilians would be left very unhappy because of something that isn,t the biggest deal right now which is gasses in the atmosphere. Now gasses are a problem, but gas vehicles are not the main source of greenhouse gasses. There are many other things like factorys which produce way more harmful gasses than vehicles. So, I do not think that this ban on gas cars will make as much of an impact as we think. RETURN TO AGENDA Providing Homes For The Homeless By Santiago Padilla RETURN TO AGENDA  Gifted project introduction • Hello my name is Santiago Padilla and This is my Gifted independent study project and I will be presenting on how we can take homeless people off the streets and change their lives to be better and get them back on track. RETURN TO AGENDA  Starting Up • My plan is to buy a building for homeless people to work other jobs and I would let them live there till they get enough money to pay me back and can afford to get a house and better job. Until they pay back they will live a full and great life. RETURN TO AGENDA Helping to Provide And Intending to Meet Needs • With this homeless shelter I will also provide bibles and I will also take people to church I will provide food and water and do communion every once in a while and will provide therapy for the homeless people that got homeless for doing drugs and things they are not supposed to. RETURN TO AGENDA  Life Style and Price • For extra fee/ Dept they can also get child care if they do have a child and a future job for them or dept and if they have dept then they will still be able to leave but will still have to pay me and will get jail time if not which will be due in about 1-2 years. RETURN TO AGENDA  Jobs and Bills In my homeless shelter there will be job boards for different jobs around the city, and they can get jobs if they stay for a month and don’t have the rent then they will get kicked out and will not be allowed to stay until they take a test about responsibility and with the acceptation, they pay a fee of at least $200-300 dollars cause of bills and/or food. RETURN TO AGENDA • Our transitional housing programs are designed to transition unhoused people into more permanent living situations. In many programs, The Salvation Army provides case management, child care, job skills training, substance abuse counseling, job placement, and referral to resources when needed. Housing and Protection RETURN TO AGENDA  Final Product/Idea • In the end of the day the homeless people on the streets will now be living in a home with comfort possibly family food and a new direction in life. They can also be completely excluded from addictions and bad habits completely drug free and have better hygiene. Although they were sad and needed help, They can now live a full and great life.
