Howard Dean and 'public option' health insurance
2009-08-18 03:28:00 'DR. NANCY SNYDERMAN: If we took a public option and retooled it somewhat, why not make the case to the American public that we will allow people below the age of 65 to buy into Medicare even if there's some trimming that has to be done out of that budget too?DR. HOWARD DEAN: That's all I want. If you allowed people to buy into Medicare who are below 65 years old, that's a public option, and that's what we need.'You've probably read or heard about Howard Dean's solution for the 'public option' maze of cross purposes we're being treated to while support for any reform melts away like a polar ice cap, exposing Atlantis' library of scrolls underneath...So I'm passing on this snippet of his interview here as my way of saying, Listen to the doctor on this one. It's worth a try. Now. Wonder what exactly he means by, "buy into"?

America needs Single-Payer, not the public health care option, say Greens
2009-05-26 06:00:00 Green Party leaders and health care reform activists said today that the 'public health care option,' promoted by many Democrats, is not an acceptable alternative to a Single-Payer/Medicare For All national health care program (HR 676).
Health care isn't the problem - health insurance costs are
2009-05-16 06:15:00 Some people who say the government "can't do anything efficiently" also now say a public insurance system competes with private insurers unfairly – these fear it will out-compete big business? CEOs earning tens of millions of dollars per year fear free market competition?The cost control problem is that the idea of controlling health care costs is contrary to earning insurance company profits - what incentive there is only applies to their own costs of operation. When the cost of health services go up the big insurance companies just make a cut of a larger price-tag. That's why U.S. health care costs have tripled the rate of inflation for three decades. Insurers have no incentive to moderate health care costs, only how much they profit -- so naturally they insure the healthiest, and make it hard to get help with pre-existing and/or expensive conditions.Sometimes they even countermand medical decisions. Bureaucrats worrying about their bottom line can over-rule a licensed docto...

Low Cost Health Insurance in Florida
2009-03-30 22:12:00 A guest column…for a change. It’s a state where more than 4 million people are uninsured, but yet there are hardly any takers for the new low-cost healthcare program in the state, the Cover Florida Healthcare Access Program. It’s hard to believe that of the millions who are uninsured, only 952 have signed up between January 5 when the program was launched, and Feb 29. Six health insurance providers are offering both preventive and catastrophic coverage under the authorization of the Agency for Healthcare Administration, the Office of Insurance Regulation and the Executive Office of the Governor across all 67 counties in the state. The monthly payments are as low as $41.64 and at an average of $155, but there are still very few takers for this program, and Governor Charlie Crist and his office are doing all they can to spread awareness and get more people to sign up. Almost anyone between the age of 19 and 64 who has been without medical cover for six months is eligible to...

Good News: Health Care for the Unemployed
2009-02-11 00:51:00 President Obama's $789 Billion Recovery Bill includes some health care benefits for those recently unemployed. If you lost your job after September 1st, 2008, this bill has some very good news for you regarding your health care. The federal government will soon subsidize 60% of your COBRA premium for 9 months. Doesn't sound like a big deal to you? Let me explain. COBRA coverage is offered to individuals and their families who had group coverage with their employer before they lost their jobs. The problem is that COBRA insurance premiums are high and unemployment benefits are no so high. In fact, the average premium for family COBRA coverage exceeds the entire monthly unemployment benefit in 9 states: Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and West Virginia. If you lost your job recently, you have 62 days to decide on taking the COBRA offer or not. TAKE IT. You'll have to pay the entire premium for a month or two, but once the new legislation ...

The Uninsured Pay More and Get Less Medical Care than the Insured
2008-08-27 02:00:00 Americans without health insurance for any part of 2008 will spend $30 billion of their own money for medical care. Many cannot pay their own expenses and they rack up another $56 billion in medical expenses. Most of that amount - $43 billion - is paid by various state and federal government programs: $18 billion by Medicare and Medicaid, $15 billion by state and local government indigent programs, and $10 billion by the Veterans Administration. The uninsured that pay out of their pocket for medical care pay more overall and get a lot less care for their money. Someone who is uninsured all year pays 35 percent ($583) out of pocket toward their average annual medical costs of $1,686 per person. In contrast, annual medical costs of the privately insured average $3,915, with $681, or 17 percent, paid out of pocket.

Health Insurance vs. Socialized Healthcare
2008-05-16 11:23:00 Kevin Freking has written an interesting 7 part article over on ehealthhelp.com. His article discusses the pro's/cons of Health Insurance Plans vs a socialized system. Freking specifically discusses the various platforms of the political parties (and differences within the party) of America, and what they hope to accomplish. I live in Canada, and we have socialized health care. Although, I am not very clear on how there health care works. I cringe at the idea of possibly dying because of an inability to afford health care. Canada is actually in the process of working out a 2-Teir health system. It is an attempt to leverage both benefits of health insurance and socialized health care. One of the drawbacks, we face in Canda (as compared to the US), is very long wait times in our hospitals. Since health care is funded by our taxes and available to everyone, it gets a lot of utilization, and certains costs (such as Doctors salaries may have limits. Regardless, I still feeling extrem...
