Health Insurance: What Should Everyone Be Covered For?

admin — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 03:32:21 +0000

No issue is more important in the health reform debate than what should be included in the minimum, basic, or required benefit package.

Many policymakers speak of “basic” coverage, however, making trade-offs among the components of a benefit package is neither obvious nor easy. Marjorie Ginsburg, Executive Director of Sacramento Healthcare Decisions, has extensive experience in leading employers, employees, the insured, and the uninsured through discussions about benefit design. In her latest paper, Balancing Act: A Sustainable Benefits Package for Health Reform, Ms. Ginsburg presents several strategies for benefits design and provides a compelling argument for why and how the general public can and must play a role in making decisions about health care coverage.

Lyrics:

Shawtayee, as you can clearly see
I spent my cash tryna fix my knee
Sold my car and both my kidneys
How am I supposed to live if my fridge is out of cheese?

No on in America should go broke because they get sick
Real talk, gotta save cash money
Let’s take that money
And we’ll all be sittin pretty
Let’s put it in the kitty

Yeah, we’re gonna make it right
Kill your granny and save your life
Next question

Ooh! Thanks for callin in me
I never thought I’d be on national TV
But why you gotta change the way things work
When Jesus Christ said we’re the best country in the universe?

We’re paying $6,000 more than any other advanced country
And we’re not healthier
Says here you’re all fatties
We’re not healthier
Cut down on the beef patties

Refrain

If you were floating through space
And you could only say one thing
Tell me what would you say?
Shawtay, what would you say?

There is a moment in the life of every generation
When that spirit of hopefulness has to come through
Let’s work together, it’s time to rock
Neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block
County by county, state by state
We decide in our guts when we are determined

Refrain

God bless America!

Designing a Health Care Interface

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:39:19 +0000

October 26, 2007 lecture by Paul Tang for the Stanford University Human-Computer Interaction Seminar (CS 547). Even more fragmented than American health care is the management of health care information. Faced with a barrage of poorly organized health information, physicians and other clinicians must sift through uninspired displays to glean pearls of information necessary to make clinical decisions. New tools for information gathering from patients and for information rendering to patients must be developed in order to activate patients to become fully informed and fully empowered members of their health care team.

Adorable Puppy Explains Health Care Bill

admin — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 08:27:09 +0000

In which John offers a summary of the health care reform bill that just passed the U.S. senate, discussing the insurance exchange market, pre-existing condition clauses, medicare taxes, and other fine points of the still-under-debate bill. Here’s a good explanation of how the insurance exchanges will look like: http://bit.ly/eIwNE

About abortion: The senate plan works like this: Policies covering abortion would be available in the exchange market (at least in some states), but those plans would have to collect two separate premiums–one covering everything other than abortion, and one for abortion coverage. The subsidy (available to all families making less than about $88,000 a year depending on number of kids) would only apply to the non-abortion policy.

If this seems like a hilariously stupid distinction, that’s because it is. Ultimately, it of course doesn’t matter which policy the subsidy goes toward. But then again, every federal program “supports” abortion in some way. For instance, without federally funded highways, it would be impossible for most women to get abortions. All government spending indirectly goes to support all activity in America, but it’s ridiculous to say that, for instance, food stamps encourage meth use, even though sometimes people trade meth for food they bought with food stamps. It’s equally disingenuous to say that this bill will allow federal funding of abortions, unless you’re willing to argue that all government spending funds abortion.
