Healthcare Reform

16% of the GDP and growing. Simply too much of it going to administration and CEO pay not the welfare of the sick.

Its a legal obligation to look after and care for any vulnerable individual that is unable in any capacity to look after themselves. Actually by law, everyone owes a duty of care to everyone else, wehther vulnerable or not.

There are two ways to know your consumer number.

1. Call 1500(toll free number) from BSNL landline and ask the executive for your consumer number.

2. If you have a copy of telephone bill, it has the consumer number printed on it.

That's it!!!

Health care reform is the idea that the current health care system must be

changed because it is not effective, wise or fair.

Currently there is a debate in the United States about what health care reform should look like for Americans.

The United States enacted legislation March 23, 2010 that improves health care access and strengthens insurance oversight, adopting methods piloted by individual state systems.

There are so many different programs out there that your question is very difficult to answer. People pay for health care via PPOs, HMOs, private pay, employer health programs, and government assistance (Medicaid/Medicare).

In the United States, healthcare is not free. However, in 2012, it became mandatory for all citizens to purchase insurance.

It's all a scheme to get money for the government.

Or.. more likely, its a scheme to get money for the big insurance companies' stockholders and some individual politicians that they have "bought". It results in healthcare costs for individual Americans that is higher than most civilized countries in the world even though the medical outcomes of the care are sub-standard when compared to health and death rates in other world healthcare models.

Health Care Management is the study of some aspects of health care, includingthe areas of health care policy, international health care systems, economy of health care, quality assurance, as it relates to the prevention, treatment and management of illness.

The principles of good objectives include values that create goals which drives normative behavior. It also includes determining the type of output desired.

Effective communication is when you and the one your talking with is seeing your point and your seeing their point. You have to have good eye contact and speak loudly enough for them to hear you, you also need to speak well so they can understand what you are saying. If none of this works then you are clearly not showing effective communication.

One reason is the high cost of conventional medicene.

What is the definition of multi-disciplinary within a health care setting?

with socialized healthcare, the motivation in hospitals is to treat people, as money is not an issue. When hospitals and pharmaceutical companies are run privately they are businesses, meaning they will do what is best and most profitable for them, and sometimes treating patients isn't ideal for the profits, so they turn them away without a problem. You may pay taxes to help support a socialized healthcare service, however, if you happened to have an accident and require a very, very expensive procedure to possibly save your life, a business may tell you that you need to cough up your life savings because your insurance won't cover it (by the way, health insurance companies don't care about you either, they want your money, and they want to give out as little as possible)but the small amount of taxes you pay will be paid off massively when you walk away with your body intact and no less money in the bank to carry on with a normal life. The criticism is that you may pay taxes and never have to use the services of a doctor, wait a minute, isn't that exactly the same as paying for health insurance and never using a doctor, i believe it is. Only with taxes, there are no secret hidden charges or things that they just can't cover, whereas a particular operation might not be covered by health insurance and you just didn't read the contract correctly. Socialized healthcare still allows for private healthcare businesses to operate, so for those people that have the money, there are ways to skip the queues and get a nicer bed in a nicer hospital, but those people who can't afford private insurance get access to the healthcare everyone should have, as a basic human right. Remember business is war, its fighting, its competition, and customers are there to be won over and used, all in the name of profits, and that's fine, that's capitalism, its how the we operate and it allows for dreams to be possible, but when we're talking about basic healthcare, its not the right path

instances of failure in health maintenance. these include

1. illness states, regardless of whether it is diagnosed or undiagnosed

2. failure to thrive/develop according to normal rate.

Since the Portable Health Care Act (Obama-care), Managed Care is replacing Private Insurance. However, people still resent managed care programs.

You could avoid visiting places where smokers visit. You can ask your friends to not smoke around you and avoid going to any smokers' homes. If you are extremely concerned, you could buy and wear medical masks. However, non-smokers must also realize that they are surrounded by unseen air particles every day that can cause lung irritation or lung damage; air pollution in most cities and on highways is far more prevalent than second-hand smoke. As well, the only type of "mask" that truly reduces the irritants in the environment are what's known as a "rebreather mask" that cost anywhere from $2.00-4.00 EACH (compared to twenty-fifty cents for a "cone mask" or "surgical mask" which do not filter out small particles or smoke).

It is illegal (under federal EMTALA rules) for hospitals to refuse emergency care. However, they can refuse non-emergent care, especially in their various clinics and outpatient departments.

There have been many events that one could consider major in the last ten years but the biggest would probably be September 11 when the terrorists flew the planes into the twin towers in New York. In the space of seconds the whole world, known by so many of us in the west, changed. Prior to that I would say John Kennedys' assassination. Both had an unexpected suddenness to them that stunned a world.

You are probably thinking of "The Condition of the Working Class," written in 1845 in German by Friedrich Engels and then translated into English in 1887.

Under the proposed bill, private insurance will NOT be available. Everyone except for members of Congress and some other Government Officials will have no other option for Health Insurance. The Officials drafting this bill have made exemptions for themselves.

Here is one exerpt from "Glocktalk.com"

The question has been on the minds of many Americans, but Democrats aren't giving answers. Instead, they are exempting themselves from their own health care "reform."

The Affordable Health Choices Act drafted by Sen. Edward Kennedy's staff and the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee pushes "Americans into stingy insurance plans with tight, HMO-style controls," the Wall Street Journal reports.

At the same time, Page 114 of the act specifically exempts members of Congress from the public plan.

The bill mandates that all other Americans enroll in "qualified" health plans and submit proof of enrollment to the government.

Everyone must report "the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of each individual who is covered under health insurance that is qualifying coverage" and include the "number of months during the calendar year during which each such individual was covered under such health insurance," along with "such other information as the Secretary may prescribe."

Under his plan for health "reform," Declared President, Obama has promised Americans that citizens will have the same health care options members of Congress receive. During his presidential campaign, he told an audience in Canton, Ohio, in October 2008: "If you don't have health insurance, you'll be able to get the same kind of health insurance that members of Congress give themselves."

At a news conference June 23, Obama said people will be able to choose their insurance "the same way that federal employees do, same way that members of Congress do."

According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, "Federal employees, retirees and their survivors enjoy the widest selection of health plans in the country. You can choose from among Consumer-Driven and High Deductible plans that offer catastrophic risk protection with higher deductibles, health savings/reimbursable accounts and lower premiums, or Fee-for-Service (FFS) plans, and their Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), or Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) if you live (or sometimes if you work) within the area serviced by the plan."

Mark McClellan, a doctor and economist at the Brookings Institution, told USA Today he believes Congress gets a great deal when it comes to health care options.

"It's significantly more generous than most Americans are getting," said McClellan. According to the report, members of Congress also receive medical care from a Capitol doctor for a small charge and my get treatment at military hospitals - the same medical care offered to presidents and visiting dignitaries.

"They get what bureaucrats get - plus," said Steve Ellis with Taxpayers for Common Sense.

In a June 24 ABC News health care forum anchored from the White House by Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson, Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, pointed out that members of Congress may propose government health care solutions for the American public that limit medical care options.

Meanwhile, he explained that lawmakers know that if their own family gets sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance.

Rep. John Fleming

He asked President Obama if he wouldn't seek outside care for his wife or daughters if they became ill and his public plan limited treatment and tests.

Devinsky asked:

If your wife or your daughter became seriously ill, and things were not going well, and the plan physicians told you they were doing everything that could reasonably be done, and you sought out opinions from some medical leaders in major centers and they said there's another option you should pursue, but it was not covered in the plan, would you potentially sacrifice the health of your family for the greater good of insuring millions or would you do everything you possibly could as a father and husband to get the best health care and outcome for your family?

The president would not pledge not to seek outside care, though he said, "I think families all across America are going through decisions like that all the time. And, you're absolutely right that if it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.

"There's a whole bunch of care that's being provided that every study, that every bit of evidence that we have indicates may not be making us healthier," he said.

But Rep. John Fleming, R-La., a physician, asks if public health care is such a great idea, why don't members of Congress who vote for it actually sign up their own families?
