Healthcare Reform

To fulfill the needs of the health care system, it is essential to ensure access to quality care, promote preventive measures, and support efficient resource allocation. This involves integrating technology for better patient management, investing in workforce training, and fostering collaboration among providers. Additionally, addressing social determinants of health and enhancing patient education can lead to improved outcomes and overall system efficiency. Continuous evaluation and adaptation of policies are also crucial to meet evolving health care demands.

HIPAA (not HIPPA) is the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act, signed into law in 1996. It provides for privacy and protection of health-related information. Everyone who comes into contact with Protected Health Information (PHI) has to observe the provisions of the act which, simply stated, are, don't tell anyone anything about a patient's health, illness, or injury unless they have an actual need to know: The Patient's care providers (doctors, nurses, paramedics, EMTs, etc.) have a right to know. Not just any doctor, nurse, or medic, though, just the ones who have an active role in the patient's care. Their insurance provider also has a right to the information. Their immediate family also have a right to know. Anyone else needs to specifically request such information from the Patient or a privacy officer and prove a genuine need to know. Note that the press is specifically NOT allowed to know without asking permission.

The act covers all identifiable information, including the patient's name and address, phone number, e-mail, etc.

As a care provider you CAN talk about your patient as long as you provide no identifying information and are not disparaging of them in a way that might be actionable. You can say: "Last night we picked up a guy who was having a serious MI, wow, was that a tough call!" You CAN NOT say, "Last night we picked up Mr. Smith of Main Street and took him to Mercy Hospital, bed 403. Boy was he a jerk!"

At it's essence HIPAA says, don't tell anyone anything about a patient that you would not like to have revealed about yourself. Keep their personal information as private and secure as you do your own (or more so).

There are rumors that you be charged sales tax when you sell your personal residence. This is a incorrect misleading rumor..... there will be a tax assessed on any non-exempt portion of the gain from the sale of your personal residence. This means that if you're married and lets say you bought your house for $100,000 and sell if for $150,000 there will be no tax assessed because you're allowed to exclude from income a gain of up to $500,000 from income if married. Let's say you sell the same house for $650,000.... that would result in a $550,000 gain which means the Obama health care tax will be on $50,000 which is the amount of the gain included in your income.

Direct care organizations are those that provide care directly to the patient (e.g. hospitals, doctor's offices, laboratories, etc.). Indirect care organizations are those that provide health services to patients, but not directly to a patient (e.g. pharmaceutical companies).

Free healthcare isn't bad at all - it makes for a fairer society as every one has access to healthcare. Many people may claim that free is worse but, since it is state owned, the main objective is to help people rather than make profits so everybody is helped.

Because the Government Sucks.

Yes and no. Traditionally health insurance is regulated at the state level. The recent healthcare legislation is adding federal regulations. Additionally, there are some federal regulations that have been around for a while like Cobra and HIPPA.

America doesn't have free healthcare because it is the centre of capitalism where every man fends for himself. It is also in Americas culture to feel that you have to earn "privileges" such as healthcare and a good education. Because of this culture most American citizens, who have the affluence to afford health insurance, feel that citizens without health insurance haven't earned the right to have healthcare because they have not worked hard enough. Though this may be the case for some people, many of the people without health insurance have issues preventing them from having the money to pay for health insurance, these issues can range from someone having a mental illness to some one who has just lost their job.

However, in the UK, with it's NHS, all citizens have the human right to healthcare, Americas beloved president Franklin Roosevelt (a man confined to a wheel chair himself) said himself in 1944 that healthcare was a human right. In the UK, every citizen has access to full healthcare for no personal cost, it doesn't matter if you are an affluent business man or a homeless person living rough on the street - everybody is cared for in times of need.

Many Americans are led to believe, largely thanks to right wing propaganda news such as Fox and the Republican party, that NHS healthcare is far inferior to Americas health system when this is in fact not the case, healthcare on the NHS is prioritised not by which procedures will cost the most money, therefore making the hospital owners the most profit, but on which procedures are needed most urgently. It is also untrue that NHS doctors are far inferior to private doctors as most private doctors also work part time on the NHS.

In the UK it is still an option to pay for private healthcare, and for a lot less than in America, but most people see no need to pay the extra money for private healthcare when the state controlled NHS is one the best health systems in the world and most probably far superior to Americas draconian system.

The reason for most Americans being against the NHS is that they don't want to pay "extremely high" taxes but they are wrong in thinking this. Basic healthcare in in America costs in excess of $5000 which is too expensive for 50 million Americans where as a low earner in Britain, possibly making a tax contribution of only $3000, would be entitled to better healthcare than the basic American healthcare which would cost $2000 more. The more money you earn, the larger the contribution you make, leading to fairer society as opposed to Americas unequal and third world society where 50 million have no healthcare at all.

To conclude, free healthcare is fairer and better than health insurance but America doesn't want this because of it's history of every man for himself.

From 1989 to 1991, for example, the average employee contribution to company sponsored health insurance plans increased 50 percent while the amount of services diminished and deductibles went up.
