Increase of 39 percent of health insurance premiums from clients of Anthem Blue Cross of California public scrutiny and led to an investigation in Congress. In addition, the government headed by Obama, which generates the request of the insurer, its parent company WellPoint profit of 4.7 billion dollars last year to justify the increase. But this price increase is not much difference. Close to home, 26 percent of medical school offer increased premiums Hill abduction of teachers of art and music together with the school psychologist, and reduce the formation of a special slot, a quarter of the workday.
In the past month, said the two employers, architectural and Concord Monitor editor Geordie Wilson, journalist Dan Barrick, the threat of 30 per cent premium to a significant increase of workers has led to an increase in franchise fees and surcharges. Another company in Concord, Barrick said it had completely eliminated employer-paid health insurance. This was probably not alone.
Premium Increase Toller leading rapidly young, healthy people with insurance, they are declining, a phenomenon blamed for their anthem of tremendous growth. Reduction of the state and federal payments to hospitals and other health professionals are pending in New Hampshire, increased costs for employers and policyholders. This leads to even more confident. In a vicious circle of some of those who have lost health insurance for charitable assistance of the hospital should continue to administer prices.
President Obama has cited the recent increase of the national anthem of California, and another reason that people need to reform health care now. He's right. It is the pinnacle of medical assistance provided by February 25, ostensibly to give Republicans a chance to reform legislation. Nobody expects them to work really. The administration hopes the show will be asked to reduce criticism of bipartisanship when Democrats have adopted health as long as reconciliation with the budget and this measure cannot be filibustered, and the Senate 51 votes to pass.
No significant change in the provision and financing of health care, double-digit increase in premiums will continue. People will pay more or less. Fewer hedge, and the overall health of the population
Democrats in Congress should represent their constituents insured who are opposed to reform health care, how long they think doing so the premium has doubled over the past seven years, as predicted in several studies. Then they should sit down and openly use the reconciliation process, as most of the ills of the health system could not fix, because the process allows.

New Jersey In A Test Version Of Streamline Documentation Of Health Insurance Added
The discussion of participation in last year on how best to repair the health system in the country, insurance companies promised to pay its part, the decision of compromising documents, medical requirements will be.
Despite the impasse in the health legislation in Congress, said the insurance scheme, they must fulfill their promises.
On Thursday in two major industry trades group America's Health Insurance Plans and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association pilot program in New Jersey is known. Five of importance to the state private insurance plans, doctors and hospitals the option of a single Web portal used to verify patient's coverage and duration of claims, regardless of the status of the five health regions they are registered in proposals
These efforts are one of the most pressing problems in the insurance sector, the system of the country: hospitals and doctors to spend too much time and money to determine if a patient has coverage or why the application was rejected. Tens of billions of dollars a year are wasted due to inefficiency of the administration.
Insurers, a similar project launched last fall in Ohio, where about 700 doctors from a single web site access to insurance that you can get information on their patients.
"To make the driver a good example of commitment to the industry on a voluntary basis, in removing the administrative problems that doctors face," said Ronald Williams, CEO of Aetna, the big insurers, including industry leaders, the common effort.
The production promises substantial savings by streamlining the documentation has been under discussion in the industry in June, with the White House. But the experimental work were carried out in parallel with a general discussion on the right of health care, said Karen Ignagni, president of health insurance plans U.S..
The transition between the insurers to develop standards and systems to help physicians determine the extent of patient and continue to be paid regardless of the status of federal law, "she said.
We hope we made the leap, "said Ms. Ignagni, who said that the two state projects have been tested the way for insurers in the various systems of the web and see that the technology works better in the hospital and doctors before they are finally starting another job.
Insurers in Florida and California have already talked about starting their own initiative, she said. "We want to move on this very, very quickly, so that we can offer in any state," she said.
Register in accordance with a pilot program in New Jersey, doctors and clinics in the state in a Web portal for NaviNet, which already offers a similar system for the web of health insurance plans individual.
Participants Represented Aetna, Ameritech New Jersey Health Care, Cigna, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, and Zurich, approximately 95 percent of people covered by private insurers in the state. Clinicians who are able to verify patient coverage was in position and track the status of their claims.
But while doctors can go to a website, they have always fed or have access to information about a particular patient with sections of the site by insurance companies. And not all health plans will now provide the same level of information.
Although some packages allow the physician to determine if a patient because of the cost of expensive treatment, consider, for example, through surcharges and franchise patients, how many were made, while others provide that a plan for client reporting.
Doctors in Ohio say that the system, it is always useful to make it easier to find if someone has a blanket, or consider the claim. The new system is a beginning, "said Mark Jarvis, a senior official of the Ohio State Medical Association, but he said more work was needed to simplify the process.
Some insurers are clearer than others, why he was denied a request, he said, and the doctor's office even enter your billing information twice - once for their own management practice, again in a new location.
"What we really need to integrate the data into the workflow in the office," said Jarvis.
The industry recognizes that insurers are still in the process of making decisions on these standards. "We've come a long way," said Williams, Aetna. But he compared the current initiative of the industry since ATMs are not, if the customer uses a credit card to work in every car.
"All these things have, over time, we have standardized," he said.
For physicians, such as Stephen A. Nurkiewicz, the ability to easily define the scope of patients before the office visit was a huge step forward. As a solo practitioner in Hammonton, New Jersey, Dr. Nurkiewicz NaviNet already uses some of its negotiations with insurers and hopes that I can say, before the patient, the patient sees accountability.
"It should be better than it is now," he said.

Republicans And Pow-Wow Health
Some Republicans in Congress want to deny the invitation of President Barack Obama on national television on February 25 White House Powwow on health. They fear that if the GOP leaders will be shown if they have finally accepted the poor health into account in the name of bipartisanship.
Republican politicians should accept the invitation. The country expects to be eligible to receive them, even if it was made for television Kabuki Theater, produced and directed by Mr. Obama.
In addition, in the best interests of the Republican Party. The party even better opportunities for their good ideas with Democratic legislative contrast.
These ideas are challenging and meaningful. These include small businesses, which together will be available in the region, the same great discounts insurance companies to eliminate undesirable reform of tort processes that amount to pushing the price of medical care and placing reforms, health insurance for mobile employees. They are also allowing people health insurance beyond the state borders, so that families buy the same health insurance tax breaks available to businesses and the supply price of health patients more transparent.
A comparison of these ideas with Obama Care are free to give the Republicans the White House that "the Republican party no." For example, Republicans want to keep the United States, of course, more money, excluding tax expenditures on health. Democrats will be the current amount that can be stored free of tax, pay $ 3050 for this year, individuals and charges for use of their savings on prescription drugs.
Obama will argue that he wishes the law would allow people to buy health insurance through the state border. But this is not entirely correct. His approach States that they can already do: buy to pass a law allowing residents to buy insurance in another state. The problem is that this is not the creation of a national market and in any case, if Washington imposes mandates that health insurance needs, this is not a healthy competition among insurers.
There are several gaps in Obama Care to allow Republicans to raise. It may be noted that 10 years of tax increases and reduction of health insurance for four years to pay the new requirements and projected savings and income tax based gadgets.
One wonders if the Democrats in Congress is actually a cut Medicare approximately $ 500 billion, and bills for calls. Why the Democrats to accept the benefits of insurance as a separate bill? The transfer of such a law would be "confidence building measures", as Henry Kissinger said.
Republicans asked how Obama puts his tax promises not to anyone under $ 250,000 per year increases, with $ 20 dollars in new taxes over 80 billion dollars on medical devices and drugs. Even the Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf of the Conference of the witness admitted that such taxes will be transferred to patients.
Mr. Obama argued that requiring insurers to cover people with disabilities is problematic. To create such a mandate would encourage people to wait until they are sick to buy insurance, what we need, if cost is reduced to a healthier people to complete the purchase. Obama will be the rope in a healthy environment and to require all companies health insurance to buy or a fine. This mandate is very unpopular.
In a respectful tone, but it should be noted, uses the issue of Republican special interest Democrats to their accounts at the House of Representatives and the Senate, as the release requires the health of members of the Union want a tax Cadillac on the existing insurance schemes. The public is already covered by these special offers are outraged, and we cannot know all.
For example, commentators initially thought that Florida seniors will be protected from the reduction of public policies to support Medicare Advantage. But it turns out that I won Senate Democrats in New Jersey and New York similar protection for seniors in their states.
Obama February 25 meeting, it does not forge a bipartisan consensus. It is Part Theater and part of Chicago-style political pressure.
In addition, the bluff and despair. Obama knows, the biggest obstacle facing him a deep split within his party. Division is to prevent the House of Representatives, Democrat, to pass the Senate Democratic health care bill.
Republicans should remember that they are at the end of this process than its beginning, when the lever of Obama was significant. The year of his omissions lost democratic benefits traditionally strong for the health sector.
The Americans do not like bills of health care that Parliament and the Senate have increased from 58% to 38% of the difference in the new CNN / Opinion Research and the Gallup poll indicates that 60% of Americans approve of the president, dealing with the problem.
Public to express their views on Obama Care. If the Republicans are well-prepared pow-wow is an opportunity to show Americans that the GOP has a better idea.

Requests for copies of all in health insurance
My wife is the mandible (lower jaw) some years ago surgery. Unfortunately, his jaw was badly scarred, the deformation of the jaw line on the left side of the face. The only amendment Do-Over. I asked for preliminary approval of the obvious damage to the base (I include photos) and written permission.
The bill has been fixed in advance for $ 9500.00 for the surgeon, anesthesiologist hundreds, hundreds of people for someone, and about a mile to a surgical facility, to pay a total of approximately 11,000.00 $, I am .. 10%. In 1982.
It is surgery and about six weeks later, the insurance and my Rep. Bos was in my closet. Have "Chuck," said my boss, we completed the problem ... Insurance will not pay for the surgery, Laura. They say it is cosmetic.
"The company will pay?"
"I'm not afraid.
"Then," we "do not seem to have a problem, but" I, of course, is not it? "
"I think so," he said sadly.
"I worry about this, I said. "You go back to work."
"Thank you, Chuck." He returned to the front.
I welcomed the insurance representative on a chair and picked it up. "Give me a minute," I said. "I have to admit something." He nodded. When the secretary answered, I asked him to return to his office. Then I waited, I had on a brown envelope.
Registrar, when I finished the envelope. I gave him an envelope, a folder with papers in it. "Please, copy the contents of the folder to me at once and put the originals in this envelope. He should go today to send to Barbara at the corner of the field when you're finished, copy, and bring me a copy if you like. " She went to that folder.
I started to defend my record company representative. They approved the operation. The money was spent. The damage caused by the first operation was serious (he has seen pictures it, and he agreed with me. But it was not his decision.) And she needed to get this fix. This was not a beauty lift. I continue, but after ten minutes secretary is back and he retired. I have a file in a drawer. I talked a little, when I moved files from the box.
He pointed out (in the third or fourth time) in the sentence in the contract of the company (not) in each document so that the agent never told that the permits were in the opposite direction.

Maryland State Insurance Plan Could Be Adapted To Meet The Guidelines For Mammography
Maryland updated May reduce your insurance plan, coverage of mammograms will be published on the basis of new and controversial recommendations of the federal commission last week.
Preservation Maryland health insurance covers the risk of people do not have health insurance from other sources, usually follows the recommendations of the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force, said Rex Cowdry, director of the Maryland Health Care.
The Task Force recommended last week that women conventional mammogram every two years and begins at the age of 50 years must submit annually to the age of 40 instead. In a report published last week in the medical journal Annals of Internal Medicine, USPSTF also recommended that led to the doctrine of consideration of women's breasts themselves, referring to anxiety and unnecessary testing and treatment false alarms.
The Task Force, a unit of the Department of Health and Social Services, an independent group of experts in primary care and prevention, but does not apply to the chest surgeons, oncologists. Recommendations from the discussion of health care in Congress, has led to speculation that the government and insurance prevention can go.
Cowdry said changes in the state plan, if any, will not be effective until July 1.
"Nothing can change quickly," said Cowdry, since the change to make, means "a complicated process."
Guidelines May influence future policy, he said.
"If we feel to spend up to 16 per cent of GDP, we must follow where the evidence leads," said Cowdry, referring to spending on health.
The mixture is heated Any discussion on the issue of coverage, Cowdry predict.
These guidelines do not receive benefits from Medicare, Health and Social Services, said Kathleen Sebelius women victims of violence, in a statement last week.
"This would initiate a debate in this country for years, the age at which regular mammograms and how often they are given. The Task Force has presented some new evidence for consideration, but our policy remains unchanged, "she said.
"Yes, I'd be very surprised if a private insurance company has changed its decision to cover mammography as a result of this action," said Sebelius.
Private insurance companies in Maryland, including Kaiser Permanente "Etna", so that changes will be made on the basis of the new recommendation "yet."
"A decision about mammography require a thorough discussion between patient and physician, and must take into account the medical evidence, patient preferences and clinical problems unique to each patient," said Debora Spano, a regional representative for United Health care. "Coverage United Health care mammography forever on this philosophy."
CareFirst is the American Cancer Society guidelines for regular mammography at age 40 years of age continue to recommend, "Said Dr. Daniel Winn, vice president and chief medical officer.
New recommendations have led to confusion and fear among women.
"The best thing to do is find cancer early," said 60-year old resident of Bethesda, Holly Joseph. "That's what we're all together, and I know that this proposal goes against them."
American Cancer Society reports that more than 3,600 women in Maryland are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009.

Private insurance companies in Maryland, including Kaiser Permanente "Etna", so that changes will be made on the basis of the new recommendation "yet."

Unfortunately, Ginny Brown-Waite - "our representatives" - was named one of the few representatives who opposed the Americans the possibility of affordable health insurance. I do not understand why they would not be paid, with the support of ordinary Americans by providing insurance that pays for what we need, and not all that "most private insurance - it is so expensive that people do not pay not price! Apparently, as "they" are universal health insurance, we do nothing! It's time to start thinking about people who can not afford such luxuries as private insurance - you really need! It is a shame that people in Florida who they voted into office does not think ahead far enough.
It can be cruel. Perhaps for the final House vote comes as Ginny, we have enough voters to vote for her under the law.
