- What Are We Reforming?
By: Donald Fishgrab | - A lady went into the hospital for a common type of surgery. It was successful, and she received the bill for some $20,000 in just a few days. Her insurance was an 80-20 co pay policy, meaning she is required to pay 20% or $4,000. She paid her balance in full and assumed that the insurance company would take care of the rest. Months later, she received another bill for the balance. She also discovered that her credit rating had been lowered due the unpaid hospital bill, resulting in a substa ...

- Health Insurance Agent Faces Potentially Deadly Disease Without Health Insurance
By: Lenneice Drew | - Stacy Van Buren's job was to help protect peoples' health. As a licensed health insurance agent she listened to circumstances and then advised people as to the best and most affordable health insurance plan for them. Stacy says at times it was hard to hear people's troubling predicaments. "I almost cried sometimes. There was one woman, she says. She was 61 years old, had just been diagnosed with cancer, and her health insurance was about to run out. She was lost and didn't know where to tu ...

- Emergency Room Crisis
By: Lenneice Drew | - If you're rushing to the emergency room, you need help right away. It turns out you'll just have to get in line and wait. Emergency room wait times across the country have been a concern for years and a new study reveals that in the 21st century wait times are actually getting worse.
Over half of patients deemed to need emergency care -- meaning they should see a doctor in 14 minutes or less -- actually saw a physicianin this time frame.Researchers looked at data representing nearly 540 m ...

- Health Insurance Plan Crisis Hurts Emergency Room Patients
By: Yamileth Medina | - Millions of people in America go without a health insurance plan, yet they still come down with illnesses and injuries they are unsure of how to handle. Although they aren't suffering from a severe ailment that requires an ambulance, Tylenol and a Band-Aid don't help. Many of these uninsured individuals head to an emergency room instead of a primary doctor they may not have. Hospital emergency rooms are legally required to treat every patient that comes through, regardless of their insurance sta ...

- Bill Clinton: Imperfect Healthcare Reform Better Than None
By: Yamileth Medina | -
The current healthcare reform debate must bring up some bad memories for former President Bill Clinton. He, with the help of then-First Lady Hillary Clinton, tried to enact their own bill to reform the health insurance industry early in his first term. Their attempts failed to receive enough support from his party and failed; the Democrats then suffered a humiliating defeat in the 1994 mid-term elections. Yesterday, he visited the Senate to encourage the Democratic party to vote in ...

- Overpriced Health Insurance Plans For Students
By: Yamileth Medina | - When talk of healthcare reform has turned to young adults, it has normally served to use them as a political football. Either they are the "young invincibles" who must be forced by strict mandates penalties to buy a health insurance plan, or they are the martyrs paying higher premiums to support older people while the budget deficit is passed onto their generation. Despite those stereotypes, many college students have recognized the necessity of having health insurance. Many of them are covered ...

- Gay And Lesbian Couples Save On Health Insurance Plans
By: Yamileth Medina | - Many groups will see changes in their health insurance plans as a result of the House of Representatives' healthcare reform bill. While much of the impact could be considered negative, one demographic stands to benefit from a little-noticed provision. A section of the bill will broaden the availability of affordable health insurance for gays and lesbians. Democratic Washington State Rep. Jim McDermott sought to eliminate the discrepancy in the tax rates of health insurance coverage for domestic ...

- Healthcare Reform - Rep. Anh "joseph" Cao, Republican Vote For Bill
By: Yamileth Medina | - Healthcare reform just passed in the House of Representatives over the weekend. It was expected that most Democrats would vote for it, and that virtually all Republicans would oppose it. That prediction turned out to be mostly accurate, but the biggest surprise of the night was the one Republican who crossed party lines to vote in favor of the healthcare reform bill. Louisiana Representative Anh "Joseph" Cao's vote was largely up for grabs. While the first-term legislator has been relatively non ...

- Healthcare Reform With Pre-existing Conditions: Wait 6 Months For Insurance?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The Democrats' healthcare reform bill has been touted as the solution for Americans with pre-existing conditions that make them "uninsurable" in the eyes of private health insurance companies. Normally, underwriters for health insurance plans consider consumers with serious health problems as too high a risk to take on; they profit by collecting premiums while paying as few claims as possible. This has put much of our population in a quandary and helped fuel our current health care crisis. Indee ...

- Healthcare Reform Might Cover Prayer
By: Yamileth Medina | - With healthcare reform moving ever closer to reality, supporters and opponents are scrambling to add and subtract provisions. The Senate may take longer to vote than its House of Representatives counterparts, but debate is still going strong. Majority Leader Harry Reid is mediating battles over the public option, cost, illegal immigrants, abortion coverage...and prayer? Yes, apparently there is a clause in the Senate Finance and Health committees' versions of the bill that would require health i ...

- Aarp Throws Support Behind Healthcare Reform
By: Yamileth Medina | - The AARP (Association for Advancement of Retired Persons) is the predominant lobbying group for senior citizens in the United States. Healthcare reform is an issue that impacts many seniors today; many are worried that their Medicare or Medicare Advantage benefits will be cut. One of the methods proposed for finding the funding to insure more Americans is to cute Medicare's reimbursements to doctors; this could lead to a decreasing number of practictioners who are willing to accept Medicare. Tha ...

- Could Alternative Medicine Be To Blame For Expensive Health Insurance Plans?
By: Yamileth Medina | - One of the main drivers of the push for healthcare reform is the soaring cost of health insurance. As affordable health insurance becomes harder to find, more people are deciding that the current system needs fixing. Some blame the higher cost of premiums on private insurers' profit margins or increasing obesity rates in America. These factors certainly play a part; however, the primary explanation could be an expansion of the services health insurance plans cover. An increasing number of in ...

- Differences Between The Republican And Democratic Healthcare Reform Bills
By: Yamileth Medina | - The Republican Party has spent the past several months serving as vocal opposition to the healthcare reform bills supported by the Barack Obama administration and Democratic members of Congress. During that time, they have seen success in influencing public opinion. However, many were frustrated that Republicans hadn't offered their own plan. Surely they didn't believe that the health insurance system in the U.S. is perfect the way it is? Well, the wait is over. Senate Minority Leader John Boehn ...

- Is Abortion Going To Stop Healthcare Reform In Its Tracks?
By: Yamileth Medina | - Healthcare reform seems to be moving along in Congress. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi appears to have a majority of Democratic representatives on board, while Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is on his way to getting 60 votes in the Senate. However, there is one major issue that has the potential to derail Democrats' reform efforts: abortion. Some pro-life Democrats in Congress, like Rep. Bart Stupak are worried that the current bill will force the government to pay for abortions. It isn't ...

- Will Healthcare Reform Cost Democrats Congress?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The Democratic party has made comprehensive healthcare reform its top priority this year. A majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives are backing Speaker Nancy Pelosi's proposal. One of its provisions is the creation of a government-run insurance plan, otherwise known as a public option, to compete with private insurers. A similar program is included in the Senate's reform bill. While the public option is supported by liberal Democrats, some conservative Democrats have concerns. Amon ...

- Is Consumer-directed Healthcare The Solution To Insurance Costs?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The cost of health insurance has rocketed over the years. Many have cited the increased the use of health care services as a reason. As a result, any form of healthcare reform must reduce spending. Some people fear that a public option run by the government would lead to rationed care and negatively impact Americans' health. However, there are other ways to make health insurance less costly. Consumer-directed health care, often likened to high-deductible health plans, would control expenses by p ...

- Surprising Winners And Losers In The House's Healthcare Reform Bill
By: Yamileth Medina | - Nancy Pelosi has finally released the House of Representatives' version of the mammoth healthcare reform bill, which costs almost $900 billion. While this is by no means the end of the debate (the bill still has to be reconciled with the Senate's differing proposal), some of the dust has now settled. Who looks to benefit from Pelosi's proposals, and who will be hurt by them? As expected, the bill includes a public option and forbids the denial of coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. ...

- This Could Be Your Grandpa: Indirect Euthanasia Via Health Insurance?
By: Yamileth Medina | -
A sad story in Miami, Florida regarding health insurance was recently brought to my attention. It highlights the flaws inherent in both public and private health insurance plans, and is an example of why healthcare reform is so important. A friend of mine has an ailing grandfather, named Benito Jimenez. Benito's daughter, Maria Conroy cares for him 24/7, and has taken charge of navigating the complexities of his insurance coverage. Her 85-year-old father has Medicare, but also has a Medic ...

- How Ted Kennedy's Replacement Is Impacting Healthcare Reform
By: Yamileth Medina | - Several months ago, Senator Edward M. Kennedy (often referred to as Ted) passed away. Oft-referred to as a "liberal lion", he was one of the Senate's major supporters of healthcare reform and express vociferous support for the public option. His temporary replacement, Paul G. Kirk Jr. has taken up the mantle of his former mentor. Kennedy's death was considered a blow to the prospects of a public option, although Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have recently renew ...

- Melrose Place And Med Schools: Cost Passed On To Health Insurance
By: Yamileth Medina | - While flipping channels, I came across an episode of the new Melrose Place series. Surprisingly, a plot line in the episode made me think about the cost of health care in America. One of the main characters, Lauren Bishop, is a student in medical school. She is dedicated to medicine and excels in her classes, but financial strife jeopardizes her education. This is an all-too-common scenario in real life; crushing student loans and the lack of ability to pay have led to a shortage in primary care ...

- Personalized Health Insurance Plans In Danger From Reform
By: Yamileth Medina | - One major objection to the healthcare reform bill making its way through Congress is that it may have a chilling effect on medical innovation. Advances in genetic testing have led to personalized health insurance plans that take an individual's genetic makeup into account when prescribing treatment. Unfortunately, expert Dr. Francis Collins warns that the Obama administration's focus on comparative effectiveness research, meant to reduce health care costs, could endanger this emerging field. Res ...

- States Can Opt Out Of Public Option Health Insurance Plans
By: Yamileth Medina | - There has been much speculation over the possible inclusion of a public option in the healthcare reform bill. Despite the controversy, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid plans to ensure that a government-run health insurance program, intended to compete with private health insurance plans, is included--but there's a catch. The new provision allows states to pass legislation that excludes them from the public option. With this strategy, Democrats in both chambers of Congress are forgoing support ...

- Insurance Companies: Flip-floppers On Health Care Reform
By: Yamileth Medina | - One of the strangest aspects of this health care debate has been the role of insurers. Shortly after President Obama was sworn into office, the industry and it's lobbyists (through the group America's Health Care Plans) pledged to support healthcare reform. Even though it would cut into their profit margins, they were willing to compromise on important issues. This was a contrast from their successful torpedoing of the Clinton administration's health insurance reform plan in the 1990s. The gover ...

- Employers Mandated To Provide Health Insurance Plan? Maybe Not
By: Yamileth Medina | - The newest wrinkle in healthcare reform comes from the Senate. There has been much speculation on the possibility of an employer mandate, which would require that businesses of a certain size offer a health insurance plan to their employees--considered by some as a surefire way to get more Americans insured. However, anonymous Senate officials have told the Associated Press that such a mandate won't be included in the final Senate bill. Health insurers were counting on such a requirement, in add ...

- How To Eliminate Waste In U.s. Health Care
By: Yamileth Medina | - Most people have a suspicion that a significant portion of healthcare costs in America are wasted. Now, a new report from Thomson Reuters has proven them right. Almost one-third of medical expenditures each year, up to $850 million, is wasted on things such as unnecessary care, disorganized paperwork, and fraud. Reducing these costs would have a significant impact on the cost of health insurance. There are fewer primary care physicians who must fill out more paperwork and hire more clerical help ...

By: Yamileth Medina | - A recent survey by U.S. News and World Report ranks the top hospitals in the United States. The 2009 rankings are based on several factors, including the hospital's mortality index: How good are they at keeping their patients alive? Obviously, patients are very interested in that statistic; but health insurers also want to know when they are determining which hospitals to include in their network. Hospitals included in major health insurance companies' plans will see more customers and revenue t ...

- Hollywood Promotes Health Care Reform; Will It Work?
By: Yamileth Medina | - After months of debate over healthcare reform, celebrities have entered the fray. Actress Heather Graham, best known for movie roles like The Hangover and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, has joined with liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org to create a viral video supporting the public option. Hollywood and progressive causes have gone hand-in-hand for decades, but this level of involvement during an election off-year is unusual. The ad is currently set to air on several national cable networ ...

- Health Insurance Premiums For Older Individuals To Increase Under Reform
By: Yamileth Medina | - The healthcare reform bills passed by committees in the House of Representatives and the Senate have significant differences. These variations will have to be hammered out before a final bill is presented to both chambers in Congress. In general, the House's bill is more comprehensive and allows for greater public involvement in providing Americans with health insurance. Interest groups are vying for benefits in the bill, which will no doubt see budget cuts before it comes up for a general v ...

- Is The Public Option More Popular More Popular Than Expected?
By: Yamileth Medina | - The possibility of a government-supported public option for health insurance is closer than ever, though not without controversy. President Obama has endorsed it, but the majority of Democratic politicians have shied away from supporting it. Republicans have expressed their opposition, warning that a system similar to that of Canada and Western Europe would lead to rationed and lower-quality health care. These worries have received lots of attention in the press; however, it appears that a major ...

By: Steve Selengut | - Can lawmakers who don't have the courage or intelligence to outlaw texting while driving really be expected to create a saner tax structure? Hmmm.
Developing a fairer tax environment is much less an economics problem than it is a political dilemma and, as many of you observed, it is unlikely that anything "tax" will be improved upon until there is some serious facial (and cultural) change in Washington.
Politicians focus on one issue at a time, and pretend to have p ...

By: Ki Gray | - While Congress debates healthcare reform, there is no debating the results of recent studies on Americans' health. In the last few weeks studies have shown that Americans are not living as long as they should be, our health continues to be undermined by our bad habits and new cases of Alzheimer's are being reported in record numbers.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported last month that the average life expectancy in the U.S. is 78 years, an increase of 1.4 ...

By: Steve Selengut | - My survey produced an interesting anomaly--- several respondents felt that excessive consumer spending was the primary cause of the economic problems we face today, and that spending is not to be encouraged.
But the root problem they were correctly speaking to is the source of the spending money, not the spending itself. Spending is essential for demand creation, and increasing demand is what produces jobs.
So why we ask, does government remove the dollars from th ...

Indeed, if many of those in Congress and in high-profile government positions get their way. They understand that an abrupt turn that pushes this agenda onto the American public will not work. This is why they believe that through small dosages they can accomplish their goals.
There are many, many people that define themselves as liberals tha ...

By: Pamela Dombrowski-Wilson | - Some European nations place a financial value on a single year of life. If an individual's health care exceeds this amount, health care treatment is denied.

By: Steve Selengut | - The White House has released another of its health care reform clarification emails--- there will be more. It seems strange to me that the focus is on insurance coverage rather than on the spiraling costs of the health care itself.
Frankly, the drafters of the insurance reforms have little, if any, understanding of insurance, risk assessment, or underwriting--- and nary a clue about running a business. But why should they care? This is Robin Hood politics, not business. Why do we ...

By: Adam Florence | - We spend so much, year after year, on medical expenses. So much, that we spend more money on insurance knowing we're likely to need more than what we pay as premiums.
Why, though? Many medical problems are caused, not by bacteria, and viruses, or even real physiological problems. Often they are as a result of poor nutrition. Over an extended period of time, a diet lacking in the requisite nutrients leads to a variety of deficiency diseases that usually require doctor/hospital vis ...

The personal health record differs from an electronic medical record which is a similar application with much more all-encompassing features ...

The HELP Committee started the week by unveiling its new language on the public plan and the employer mandate, but it still has no language on biogenerics. The committee hopes to complete this work by week's end. The Finance Committee has yet to meet to mark up a bill because it doesn't have a bill as yet - the ...

- Healthcare Services: Why Is Our Role As Consumer Being Denied?
By: Rene Luis | - The fact is we need to either ask the office manager, the plan administrator, the network provider, or the doctor how much it is for a particular health service. The reason is that prices for healthcare services are not easily accessible. They are difficult to compute, assess and manage. For this reason, we as consumers do not feel empowered to make good decisions with respect to our healthcare. The cards are stacked against us.
In recent times, it has come to light that many hosp ...

Suffice it to say that if Hispanics were not included in the computation and statistics for uninsured Americans, our national problem would be substantially reduced. It is also a fact that people without health insurance live less healthy lives and also have a shortened life span. All of this adds to bigger problems within our society that need to be addr ...
