Al Jazeera English: Mitt Romney's health-care dilemma - Opinion


In a 2009 opinion-editorial in USA Today, former Governor Romney suggested his actions in Massachusetts were perfectly suited to US national policy. Romneycare would control costs, keep health care in the private sector and circumvent pressure to create "a European-style single-payer system":

Mittens stated:

Massachusetts also proved that you don't need government insurance. Our citizens purchase private, free-market medical insurance. There is no "public option". With more than 1,300 health insurance companies, a federal government insurance company isn't necessary. ... To find common ground with sceptical Republicans and conservative Democrats, the president will have to jettison left-wing ideology for practicality and dump the public option.

. . . (B)y pushing the issue all the way to the US Supreme Court, Republicans undermined their own objectives and, perhaps, ultimately derailed Romney's run for president.

Republican spin machine winds up

David Axelrod, Senior Advisor to the President

Republicans are all over the news today suggesting the Americans will lose choice on their health care. Much of Affordable Health Care Act is already in effect and Rightardia is not aware of many people, if any, who have had to change insurance providers or doctors.

Many Americans are afraid of the mandate which will only effect people who can afford healthcare but do not have it. There are also hardship exemptions for the poor.

So this fine or tax is selective.  It will not effect most Americans.

David Axelrod was on the Morning Joe and explained the Affordable Health Care Act eliminates pre-existing conditions and lifetime caps. Children are now covered on their parent's policies until age 26.

Many people now have health insurance who did not have it before.

He also said the government will control costs by requiring insurance companies to provide preventive care and also demanding that insurance companies must have medical loss ratios of 80 per cent and rebate premiums to policy holders that don't meet that standard.

The era of insurance company windfall profits is over.

The incredible inedible DeCoster egg

You won't hear the GOP say a word about a scandal like this. This  is what deregulation leads to.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce is investigating three egg producers in Maine with ties to Austin "Jack" DeCoster, whose Iowa-based farm was linked to the recent US egg recall, reports Boston.com Thursday.

The Committee has asked DeCoster to hand in inspection documents linked to egg contamination from Dorothy Egg Farms, Mountain Hollow Farms and Quality Egg of New England; the three farms distribute about 100 million cartons of eggs yearly to Maine's grocery stores.

The companies appear to be linked to DeCoster, but we don't know what role, if any, they played in the recall, said Committee spokeswoman Karen Lightfoot.


Two Iowa farms issued recalls after over 1,500 people in the US were sickened by alleged salmonella contaminated eggs.

The head of the Food and Drug Administration said the DeCoster farms in Iowa were not operating safely before a salmonella outbreak. this outbreak led to the recall of more than half a billion eggs.

There’s no question that these farms that are involved in the recall were not operating with the standards of practice that we consider responsible,” FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg told CNN Sunday night.

Workers Independent News: Employers shifting health care burden to workers at accelerated rate

Submitted by Jesse Russell on September 5, 2010 - 4:49pm
A new report by Kaiser Family Foundation has found employers shifting health care costs to workers at an accelerated rate. The report says workers paid 30 percent of the premiums for family coverage and 19 percent for single coverage.

That’s the highest rate in 12 years. Worker contributions increased this year by 13.7 and employer contributions fell by .9 percent.

A big question is what employee benefits are companies now providing? Only 21 per cent of Americans go into retirement with a pension and many of those are provided by government, not private industry. 

Many employers tout the the 401ks as pensions, but this program was created as an employee savings plan, not as an  employer pension plan. Now employers are shifting the cost of medical insurance to employees, too.

In most small businesses, the employee pay 100 per cent of the health insurance cost.

The White House blog: Announcing HealthCare.gov


Posted by Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on July 01, 2010 at 05:00 AM EDT

Today, our Administration is launching HealthCare.gov a new consumer website that provides unprecedented transparency into the health care marketplace.

Through HealthCare.gov, individuals will have more control over their health care as informed and empowered consumers.

This “first-of-its-kind” website is simple and easy to use. It  provides one-stop shopping access to a wealth of information, including your new consumer rights and benefits under the Affordable Care Act, a timeline of when new programs under the new law will come online between now and 2014 and a new insurance finder that will make it easy to find both private and public health insurance option that works for you.

HealthCare.gov will help take some of the mystery out of shopping for health insurance. For too long, it was confusing to identify your options and compare plans.

HealthCare.gov makes comparison shopping easier with a new insurance finder that allows users to answer a few basic questions and receive information about insurance options that could work for them.

This kind of transparency helps create informed consumers which increases competition, reduces prices and improves quality.

Here are just some of the basics about what you can find when you visit:

* Approximately 500 pages of content
* Data for more than 1,000 insurance carriers and 5,561 open products (2,030 in the individual health insurance market and 3,531 in the small employer health insurance market)
* Information on every Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program in the country
* Information on the Pre-Existing Condition Plan in every state.
* Billions of choices. Answer a few basic questions, and the site’s insurance finder automatically sorts through a huge catalog of public and private coverage options to help you identify the ones that are right for you (with billions of potential personal scenarios supported).

HealthCare.gov will continue to get even better in the months ahead. In October, 2010, price estimates for health insurance plans will be available online, and the site includes easy ways for users to tell us how we can make HealthCare.gov more helpful and easier to use.

We’ll discuss these and other features of the site this afternoon at 1:00 PM EDT, when the HHS team and I will host a briefing for reporters and the public to discuss the new site. You can watch the briefing by visiting HHS.gov/live. We’re excited about demonstrating this important new tool, and enthused that so many organizations and individuals are already praising the new site.

The White House Blog: Health Reform’s Small Business Tax Credit


Posted by Jesse Lee on April 19, 2010 at 2:57 PM EDT
The guiding principle of health reform was simple: put American families and small businesses – not the health insurance companies –  in charge of their own health care.

One of the immediate benefits of the health reform legislation signed by the President is a substantial tax credit for small businesses, designed to help them offer health insurance coverage for the first time or maintain coverage they already have.

The tax credit takes effect this year, so we want to make sure word gets out to small business owners far and wide.

That’s why today the Internal Revenue Service today began mailing postcards to more than four million small businesses and tax-exempt organizations to make them aware of the tax credit.

A 35 per cent reduction of health insurance costs is significant. Rightardia hopes that small business people will wake up and realize the Democrats are trying to help them. For years the GOP has helped the largest corporations in the US, but realy provide little more than lip service to small business.

PolitiFact: Romney says Americans pay more and die sooner



The statement


"The lifespan of the average American is less than that of people in nations that spend far less (on health care). . . . To put it bluntly, we spend more and die sooner."
--Mitt Romney in the book No Apology
The ruling

In his new book, No Apology, former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney devotes a chapter to health care policy — a topic that animated his tenure as governor of Massachusetts.

Romney passed a health care overhaul that was designed to get his state as close to universal coverage as possible.

While he does not support President Barack Obama's health care proposal, he does agree in his book that the U.S. health care system has problems.

"The lifespan of the average American is less than that of people in nations that spend far less" on health care, Romney wrote, adding, "To put it bluntly, we spend more and die sooner."
The first place we looked was the statistical archive of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group that represents 30 advanced, industrialized nations, mostly in Europe, Asia and North America. Scholars consider OECD figures to be among the most reliable for international comparisons on health care.

The OECD's most recent figures, for either 2005 or 2006 (the year varies by country), show that the United States ranks 24th — well under the average level for the 30 nations studied.

Specifically, life expectancy in the United States was 77.8 years. (Japan was tops with 82.4 years in 2006.) The life expectancy in Canada is 80.6 years. Canada, of course, has a national health care system. The World Health Organization ranks the Canadian health care ystem 30th in the world.
the US is ranked 37th.

Now, we'll look at health care expenditures. There are two ways to measure this — by expenditures per capita, or by expenditures as a percentage of GDP. However you measure it, we're No. 1 — by a mile.

Using the first measure, the OECD reports that the United States spent $7,290 on health care per capita in 2007. The only two other countries where per capita health care expenditures exceeded even $4,000 were Norway and Switzerland.

Here are some other health care facts. Other than South Africa, America is the only developed country in the world that does not provide healthcare for all of its citizens.

Yet, the US ranks 26th in infant mortality and 24th in the number of healthy years a person can expect to live - putting America’s healthcare system in the company of Cuba and Slovenia rather than Canada and Western European nations.

According to Reuters, France, Japan and Australia rated best and the United States worst in new rankings focusing on preventable deaths due to treatable conditions in 19 leading industrialized nations, researchers said on Tuesday. More than 100,00 deaths could be prevented each year if our medical system performed better.

Conservatives invoke God to stop national health care reform


Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Oh, boy! Here is a Jimmy Swagert impersonator named Lou Engel leading two senators in prayer.

One is Sen. Jim DeMint, a man who beleived he could destroy the Obama presidency by defeating health care.

The other Senator is Sam Brownback, a man who wants to be the governor of Kansas. Brownback is a C-Streeter and associated with the Family, a Christo-fascist organisation, that tries to insert religion into American institutions using stealth.

Of interest, Lous Engle is not a doctor of divinity, a pastor, or a reverend. He is not an ordained minister, but he is a good actor and comes across gushing sincerity for his religious convictions. Elmer Gantry would have been impressed.

This is the kind of old fashioned low brow religion that pushes educated people away from churches.

Health Care debate will open on Senate floor after 60-39 vote



Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) appeared Saturday to secure the 60 votes needed to move an $848 billion health-care reform bill to the Senate floor for debate. The the last two holdouts in his Democratic caucus said they will not join in a Republican filibuster.The vote at around 8 pm EST was 60-39, which prevented the bill from being filibustered.

Now the serous health care debate begins on the floor of the Senate.

Politics Daily: Religious card played on Lieberman


Image via Wikipedia
David Gibson, Columnist
Joseph Lieberman is an observant Jew, but the senator from Connecticut apparently didn't want to check out the candlelight prayer vigil in front of his Stamford home Sunday evening -- and who could blame him?

The crowd of 500 people had gathered outside of Lieberman's condo holding candles and singing "This Little Light of Mine" because they were incensed at Lieberman's threat the join a Republican filibuster against any health care bill that includes a public option. The protesters represented a cross-section of faiths, including Unitarians, African-American Baptists, Muslims, and Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy, who recently announced his candidacy for governor.

But the rabbis in attendance seemed to be the most outspoken, according to local news reports.

"You shall not stand idly by the blood of your neighbors," Rabbi Stephen Fuchs said quoting Scripture. "It is with a heavy heart that I proclaim to you, Senator Lieberman, that that is exactly what you seem to be doing at this time."

Ouch.

Rabbi Ron Fish of Congregation Beth El in Norwalk said he normally avoids political discussions but said Lieberman's stand against health care reform left him no choice.

"I feel passionately about the subject of health care," he explained. "I've avoided entering too closely into the conversation because I fear that when we clergy speak in political terms, we quite often do a disservice to politics and religion. But when Senator Lieberman spoke about his conscience impelling him to stop even a vote on this . . . crucial instance of hope, my conscience could not allow me to be silent."

"The moral imperative for our time is clear. Anyone whose guide in public policy is conscience, anyone who argues that faith and religious traditions should direct our actions, such a person must stand for universal health care in America," Fish said, reading from a letter signed by more than 70 other clergy. "It happens we are all also citizens of Connecticut. That fact leads us to ask you, Senator Lieberman, what is it that you stand for?"

Pow.

"We come today demanding there be justice. Let justice rain down like an unstoppable stream; health care for black, for white, health care for Latino, health care for all," prayed Rev. Scott Marks, of New Growth Praise Center in New Haven.

Zing.

The American Prospect: Democrats Leave Women Behind

by Michelle Goldberg November 10, 2009 

We've reached a point where health-care reform threatens to leave access to abortion in worse shape than it is right now. The Stupak Amendment, added to the health-care bill in last-minute negotiations this weekend, goes beyond the existent ban on federal funding of abortion. By prohibiting anyone receiving federal health-insurance subsidies from buying plans that cover abortion, it's almost certain to compel many plans to drop abortion coverage for everyone.



Almost all progressives have realized that passing health-insurance reform was going to require some bitter compromises. But it's both maddening and heartbreaking that a pro-choice president and a Democratic Congress are poised to give the anti-abortion movement its biggest legislative victory since 2003's Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act.

Right now, most employer-based health insurance plans cover abortion. The reason for this is depressingly mercenary -- it's cheaper for insurance companies to pay for a termination than for prenatal care and delivery. Motives aside, though, this coverage is crucial, given that abortion is among the country's most common medical procedures. Congressman Bart Stupak's amendment threatens it even for women who buy insurance themselves or get insurance from their employers.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that if health-care reform passes, by 2019, 21 million people will buy insurance on health-insurance exchanges. About 80 percent of that number will have some sort of subsidy from the federal government, and so any plan that wants its business can't offer abortion.

To be sold on the exchanges, a plan offering abortion coverage "would have to explicitly be marketed for people who aren't eligible for subsidies," says Adam Sonfield, senior public policy associate at the Guttmacher Institute. "We're looking into whether that's even legal. We're not sure it is -- it sounds very much like discrimination on the basis of income."

Nor does this just affect individuals purchasing insurance. The exchanges will offer coverage to small businesses as well, and they're intended to expand to larger and larger businesses as time goes on. Thus the Stupak Amendment means that the more successful health insurance reform is, the more women will lose access to abortion coverage.

The amendment's supporters and apologists are downplaying its scope by noting that, according to the Guttmacher Institute, only 13 percent of abortions are currently billed to health insurance. But that's misleading, because it doesn't include women who file for reimbursement after seeking an abortion from an out-of-network provider -- and, as Sonfield points out, most providers are out of network.

Bill Clinton on health care and American economics

Clinton's view is like Larry the Cable Guy's : Get 'er done! The details can be worked out later. Don't let the right wing nitpick the bill to death.


Bill Clinton:"The point I want to make is: Just pass the bill, even if it's not exactly what you want," Clinton told Democrats. "When you try and fail, the other guys write history.”

President Clinton described the ongoing tea party protests against the Democratic agenda as a sign their party was making progress. Whitehouse quoted Clinton arguing: "The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning."

Fox News falsifies health care rally attendance

Health Care Crisis


The tea party protests continued last week, as Congresswoman Michele Bachmann held an anti-health-care-reform rally on the steps of the Capitol. She estimated that 20,000-45,000 people attended the event, the Washington Post reported it was actually more like 10,000.

Initial media reports indicated the crowd size was closer to 8,000. It was all for naught because the Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 passed.

But Sean Hannity and his team did more than cover the event. They not only inflated the attendance with their words, but actually used footage from another protest this summer to make this health care rally appear bigger than it was.

Jon Stewart and his team caught this discrepancy and ran with it, pointing out neither the color of the leaves nor sky in the tacked-on video matched that of the actual event.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Republicans repulse women

Rep.Schultz is one of Rightardia's favorite Florida Congresspersons.  She discusses the anti-Pro choice amendment in the America's Affordable Healthcare Act of 2009 and believes it will be removed in committee. She also states that Republicans repulse women which explains the small female GOP caucus that exists in the house.

Fancy Nancy delivers: Affordable Health Care for America Act passes 220-215

November 7th, 2009 by Karina

The Affordable Health Care for America Act to reduce health care costs, protect and increase consumers’ choices, and guarantee access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans has passed 220-215.

At some point, people began unwrapping copies of bill and handing it to the speaker for her autograph.

One of the first members was Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). Pelosi seemed stunned but obliged, resting one of the two four-inch thick volumes on the back of a bench and inscribing it with a Sharpie.

Several other members approached her with copies of the bill as she made the rounds, like high school seniors on Yearbook Day.

Tom Tancredo cuts and runs like the chicken hawk he is



On MSNBC Friday night, David Shuster (filling in for Ed Shultz) addressed hateful signs at Thursday's Capitol Hill "House call" against health care reform. But the discussion escalated into a fight that led a Republican guest to walk off the set.

Shuster criticized GOP leadership for attending Thursday's anti-health care reform rally in Washington which, according to Shuster, "had all the trappings of a proverbial orgy of bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, and hate." Shuster's condemnation became particularly pointed when he called out Republican Congressman John Boehner for refusing to denounce some of the offensive signs that were prominently displayed at the rally, including a picture from a Nazi concentration camp that read "National Socialized Health Care."

"Is there no shame anymore on the conservative right?" asked Shuster. "Is there no decency anymore?...When anybody compares a health care proposal to the murders at Nazi death camps it's offensive, and it diminishes all of us by diminishing just how evil the Holocaust really was."

The Benefits of Healthcare IT

Posted by Aneesh Chopra on October 29, 2009 at 09:52 AM EDT
A national health care computerized system is needed. In Medicare alone fraud costs the taxpayers $60 to $90 billion every year. Miami, FL is a hotbed of Medicare fraud. Once medical records are automated and computerized, it will be much easier for the government to catch fraud.

The Health IT Standards Committee within the Department of Health and Human Services will begin an unprecedented effort to get the public’s view on how our work might "pull forward" the benefits of healthcare information technology (IT).
Specifically, we’re interested in uncovering new strategies to accelerate the adoption of health IT standards. This effort began with the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.  It called for recommendations on standards to promote safe, secure, healthcare information exchange.

“Standards” are really the guardians of quality, consistency, and interoperability. Without thoughtful, clear and uniform standards, we cannot enable the seamless and secure exchange of electronic health information (or the benefits that accrue to providers and patients from such protected exchanges).

So, while the exploration of technical standards may seem mundane to some, it is foundational to electronic health records (EHRs) and electronic health information exchange more broadly. In other words, it’s worth paying some attention to, and voicing your opinions.

Our process continues with a public hearing today in Washington, DC. Find out how to participate via phone and webcast here. We are convening four panels of experts with on-the-ground experience in interoperability standards - providers, quality stakeholders, health IT vendors, and a group with lessons drawn outside of healthcare. Thanks to HIT Standards Committee member Judy Murphy for her leadership on this effort.

The conversation through an Online Forum over the next two weeks. Thanks to Committee Member Cris Ross for his leadership on this effort. We have arranged a series of Committee Member blog posts to begin the dialogue, starting with HIT Standards Committee Vice-Chair John Halamka's summary of our work to date, which will post on Friday. We will concurrently have ongoing discussion threads on the following topics:

1. Proposed Standards (General Discussion)
2. Interoperability
3. Vocabularies
4. Privacy
5. Security
6. Quality
7. Implementation Case Studies (Your Story - the good, bad and
in-between)

We have also enabled a "voting" feature on submissions to allow you - the public - an opportunity to emphasize points raised in a given post. Our goal is to harness the shared wisdom of our community to inform the work of the HIT Standards Committee in the weeks and months ahead.

The process of accelerating the adoption of health IT standards will not end this week, this month, or this year. This is an ongoing effort, and your participation will continue to be essential to its success.
