1. Google Health Care Bureaucracy and describe the plans that are displayed. What groups display these charts? What agenda do they have?
2. http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf Hey Gang! Its all 3.3 mb and 1987 pages of the health care bill. Add the month and date of your birthday to the number of steps in your home TIMES the number of TVs in your home. Go to that page of the health care bill (tell me which page) and summarize it.
3. Go to the AARP site & find out what they say about health care.
4. Lastly, examine an established bureaucracy: PA's medicaid system: Read the FAQ and detail what is most surprising about this program. http://www.pamedicaid.pitt.edu/faqs.html#a1

ReplyDelete1. The U.S. health care bureaucracy consumes at least $399.4 billion annually in administrative costs. National health insurance could save about $286 billion. Each of the 41.2 million people who were uninsured could have $6,940 toward insurance. Governors and legislators should wake up and find away to deal with increasing budget debits. Medicaid and other vital services shouldn’t be cut. Instead officials could expand services by freeing up the $286 billion a year wasted on administrative expenses.
2. Pg. 58 (a continuation of sec. 111 reinsurance program for retirees
It defines the term retiree – is 55 yrs. or older, isn’t eligible for coverage under title XVII of the Social Security Act, and isn’t an active employee of an employer maintaining the plan or has made contributions to fund such a plan. To be eligible to participate in the reinsurance program an eligible employment-based plan shall be submitted by the Secretary an application for participation in the program.
3. Senate began debating the 2,074 pg. proposal by Senate Democrats. The passing of the bill is far from certain and weeks away. The bill was developed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. It extends health care coverage to an estimated 31 million Americans who do not currently have health care coverage. It provides financial support for the poor and authorizes a public option for uninsured or underinsured individuals. It’s financed by savings in future Medicare, Medicare Advantage plan and Medicaid spending.
4. Medicaid was originally a welfare program that provided health services to people. The way they are describing the new bill is not that much more different that what Medicaid is. But the bad part is that the bill is financed by savings through the Medicaid spending. This concerns many senior citizens who are a member of the Medicare and Medicaid plans.

ReplyDelete1. When i googled the page i got a mixture of results. Some pages were against the current health care bureaucracy and for health care reform while other pages were ok with the current bureaucracy and against the change. The pages that were for reform stated the current waste that the companies were outrageous and the gov. would fix this. The groups aginst it said the gov. would not be able to properly manage the reosources and would limit what the people could get. They also said that the gov. would waste tons of money.
2. I'm on page 241. It basically says that the personal information that is gained will not be shared. It also says that the people who do have access to this information will be fined or imprisoned if they use it when they are not supposed to.
3. It appears to me that the aarp is for health care reform. The article states that it will be paid for by the future savings from medicare and medicaid. It also says that the bill will reduce fraud and spending on medicare.
4. The thing that surprise me the most about this program is that the program covers so many people. It covers the poor, the elderly, the disabled, and many other groups. I thought that medicaid was mainly restricted to the poor.
@ Katelyn
I noticed that they were trying to cover the cost of the bill by trimming the budget of other programs too. Wouldn't that limit the money that they can spend on the other people.
@ Hoover
What was the assignment for last weeks blog i can't find it?

ReplyDelete1. According to the website i found when i googled it says that the health care bureauracy is costing us lots of money. It also states that having national health insurance would save the United States billions of dollars. It also compares our systems to Canada's, and says theirs is better. It is pretty clear that this article is baised so they could be streching their numbers a little bit.
2. I'm on page 204. On my page it basically spells out some of the regulations that the NAIC has and how other regulations are passed.
3. From reading the article it seems as though the AARP is for the new health care reform. They like it because it will not be any more of an expense to have and it may provide better health care coverage.
4. I found that the most surprising thing about this was the number of services it offers to cover. This health care would cover almost everything when i thought it would only care for you basic health care needs.
@ Katelyn
I was also surprised that the bill would be finaced through Medicid
@ Zach
I also saw that the aarp is for Health care reform.
Annelise Williams, p.4
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of really sick right now, so pardon any weirdness this may contain.
1. The bureaucracy is trying to find a middle ground on the bill. They don’t want to spend too much, but they don’t want to half-arse it and anger the public. They need to find what is just right. Also, they don’t want to make it so vague that the people can do whatever they want with it, since that could end up being messy…
2. Page 215! It covers the funding methods that will be used to aid the bill. Basically, they want the Treasury to give them $2,000,000,000 so they can implement the bill. It also goes over what parts of the Social Security Act let them do this.
3. As Zach said, the AARP supports the (Senate version) of the Health Care Bill because of the financing it will give to Medicare and Medicaid. They don’t like the House Version so much due to the lack of payroll tax and how early it would take effect.
4. I was surprised that children were counted under Medicaid. I guess I’m just stupid this area, but I just thought that it was an adult-y thing and children were counted under… I don’t know. Uh, apart from my stupidity, I’m kind of surprised by how many people are actually covered by Medicaid. Only 14%? It seems like it would be a lot more than that…
@Katelyn- I guess I agree with everything you say, but there isn’t really much leeway in this blog so I can’t really disagree…
@Zach- There wasn’t an entry last week.

ReplyDelete@ Jeff
I also was surprised that the new bill would cover so many things
@ Annelise
Your right about how the bureaucracy is trying to deal with the new health care bill.
Posting from the comfort of the bed:
ReplyDelete- Basically, they (who is "They," anyway?) claim that the health care bureaucracy chews up more money than a national health care plan of some sort. OK, I can believe that. The first few sites I clicked on stated how the US will turn into some sort of fantastical utopia in which everyone is happy and insured and taken care of (let's be realistic, people). However, just where do we draw the line when the government wants to interfere with our lives further? Oh well, here I go again. Modus vivendi.
- On page 180. My page has something to do with the enforcement of the Health Insurance Exchange and termination of contracts with entities offering QHBPs (qualified health benefits plan). Too bad it doesn't make a lick of sense being written in infernal Legalese.
- Looks like the AARP is for healthcare reform. Surprise. But seriously, they seem to support it because of the extra financing it'll give to them. Also, they want to try to make Medicare more efficient and such.
- I'm with Zach on this one. I really only thought Medicaid was mostly for poor people. Looks like it covers more than that. Plus, I really didn't realize that it wasn't just welfare. Call me an ignoramus, but I didn't know Medicaid was really more of a public healthcare thing. *facepalm* Looks like I learned at least one new thing today.

ReplyDeleteI found a number of different sites outlining the health care system. Most were just news groups talking about how Republicans think the Democratic health care plan is too complicated or enlarges the bureaucracy too much or something like that. So their agenda is pretty much reporting on the bill, and it varies as to whether there is a conservative or liberal bias between the different groups.
Well, for some reason, my computer refuses to open this site. Stupid dial-up
Not too much really surprised me. If anything, the fact that medicaid can cover such a wide variety of people was a little surprising.
Shawn Vincent pd. 1
ReplyDelete!. ahh well judging by GOP house leader John Bohener's (sp) chart, the health care reform bureaucracy proposed by the democratic party is far too complex to be carried out. However, on other websites it speaks how simple it would be and how much money would be saved by utilizing it.
@. on pg. 114..(known as the most controversial page of the health care reform bill) The bill discusses the input of the State and the Public on the reforms and what the house comitee will allow. it also talked about benefits standards, and how they will be covered.
#. the AARP appears to support the health care reform bill. although favoring the senate version over the house version, they seem to believe it will be effective and be very effective.
$.yeah you know, i always thought people despised medicaid, and hated its unreliability, but from this article it appears to me that it covers everybody and is therefore extremely reliable. i could be wrong though.
Zach- i thought your entries were really well done, guy, we're on the same page across the board
Katelyn- great source of information, as well as insight? kudos.
Jamie Orchard Period 4
ReplyDelete1. The website that I went onto was not too happy to speak of the health care bill. It did not explain exactly who "they" were as the group that was speaking however they had a lot of mentioning that the more and more things that get intacted into the Health Care Bill the higher the costs wil go. I most likly should have chocen a different article for this one was not very informational. It was biased completely against the health care bill and was more out to bash it then to discuss it.
2. Page number 102.
This page explains Qualified child and how that
means that an individual will be treated as a
dependant child if they are under twenty seven
and are not enrolled in health benefits plan for
other than that particular section. This section
continues to go about the requiring option of
extension of dependant coverage for uninsured
young adults. Then splits off into the title of the next section, which is Consistency of Costs and Coverage Under Qualified Health Benefits Plans During Plan Year.
3. I am thinking that the AARP is all for the new health care bill. AARP thoughts are that this is a new start to have a nicer/better health care coverage for more people..that doesn't cost anything more.
4. I guess I haven't been paying attention too much to just what the health care bill was going to be providing and who it was going to be provided to. There are a lot more groups of people that I was not expecting to be getting covered that will now be getting covered. I think Zach and someone else had said that they thought it was only for the poor. I figured that it would be for a few more groups then that...but the amount that it actually covers...suprised me.
Zach- I agreed with you on the amount of places that will be covered, it's quite suprising.
Robert- I also have to agree with you, you mentioned what Zach did about the amounts of different groups that were being covered..but that not too much else surpised you. I'm in the same boat.
taylor shenberger - 2nd time posting since the last one froze the computer & deleted everything.
ReplyDelete1. This sounds like some random republican trying to get everyone against health care because they think its really bad.
2. Page 1262
This is saying that the secretary is supposed to make a training and enhancement program that awards grants and contracts. These can go to anyone or any establishment that is involved in public health.
3. I think that the aarp is okay with this. They are expecting that if everyone else gets a little bit then they should get more.
4. i thought it was interesting that medicaid is voluntary but yet every state and territory follows it, and i also never knew that each state could change their plan and make it fit the needs that they have.
-heather yeah i didn't realize that it covered this much.
-zach- who cares if the gov't knows information about you? why does that have to be included in the reform?
Claire Bleecker, Period 1
ReplyDelete1. The GOP displayed a chart saying that the healthcare plan was a "bureaucratic nightmare." Other websites how the bureaucracy benefits the implementation of the new health care plan. But I think when you google bureaucracy and health care you're going to get conservatively biased reports on the healthcare reform because, as we already established, bureaucracy is mostly seen as a bad term. The liberal biased reports of the reform probably wouldn't have bureacracy in the title.
2. Page 222 details the physicians' payments, both preferred physicians and non-preferred physicians. It basically says that the Secretary is to provide for the annual participation of doctors, under the public health insurance option.
3. AARP came out and said that they were all for the new health care plan. It gives them more financing for things like Medicare.
4. It surprised me that medicaid covers about fourteen percent of the population.
1. The republican who wrote this article, I say republican because they are completly against it. He seems to think that universal health care should excist.
ReplyDelete2. page 97 (I don't think I did that right)
Mine basically wrote the fears of normal people. Like how are they going to do it, and how are they going to group people.
3.I think they are fine with it, I mean I don't see much negitives here.
4. I thought that it was that it was controled by both of the federal and state.
@ Taylor
I did think it was also interesting about that it was volentary.
@ Jamie
I thought that we thought together on this subject.
Grant Brown, pd. 1
ReplyDelete1.) The website I went to didn’t really give “plans” they just kind of ripped on the bill, but I thought what they had to say was interesting. The first thing you read on their website is as follows “The U.S. wastes more on health care bureaucracy than it would cost to provide health care to all of the uninsured.” Basically the rest of the site after that spewed numbers and statistics and basically concluded that the health care plan being proposed would be better if it was more like Canada’s (a single payer system).
Here’s the site if anyone really cares. http://cthealth.server101.com/healthcare_bureaucracy_u_s__vs__canada.htm
2.) Page 172 is a continuation of details about “affordability credits” and outlined what you can’t use them for. After that it started a new section about “Contracts for the Offering of Exchange – Participating Health Benefit Plans” and then my page ended. It was confusing.
3.) I remember this website from the summer work...bad memories. Anyway, they basically sell it to you all the while putting themselves in a good light and promoting what they do.
4.) The most surprising thing I thought was the list of what it does and doesn’t cover, I personally think some things should be covered that aren’t, like Prescription Drugs and Psychiatric Clinic Visits.
Lastly, I think I just turned into one of those people who actually expect people to read what they post and laugh at the stupid little jokes they typed in…so I apologize (as I continue to talk to you. My bad.)
@ Katelyn - good job going first.
@ Zach - I agree with what you said about the wide range of people covered.
@ Jeff - I agree with what you said about AARP being for the Health Care bill.
Lamar Lehman pd 1
ReplyDelete1. I looked at a few different websites about health care bureacracy. Basically all of them were saying how bureacracy was causing the health care plan to fail and all of the bureacracy money is unneccessary. Many of the sites i went to were just against the health care plan totally. Some, groups, such as the Connecticut coalition for universal health care were for it. There agenda's were obviously to promote or denounce the new health care plan.
2. page 63
This page is worded kinda confusingly. I'm pretty sure its just talking about wellness grants that are to be granted to small businesses and the limitations on these grants.
3. AARP is endorsing the health care legislation. They present facts on how the health care bill will help your family. They also say that they will continue to work with the house and senate to ensure that their priorities are included in the bill.
4. I was surprised to see that 14% of the population is covered by medicaid, which is because of the economic downturn. I was also surpised to see how many different categories and types of things that medicaid covers for people.
@zach
i also thought that medicaid only covered the poor
@taylor
i agree with you that the aarp is for health care reform
Savannah Gilmore Pd. 4
ReplyDelete1. It looks to me as though most of the links are by people against the healthcare bill who are trying to convince us the bureaucracy is sure to waste tons of money and accomplish nothing. What better way to prove this than to slap an overly complicated chart with a vague explanation on a webpage?
2. Pg. 144-Gives the definition of an employer,says a bit about collective bargaining.
3. AARP is all for the healthcare bill, despite their being so causing quite a bit of controversy among its members. They feel it will strengthen Medicare, lower drug costs and prevent health insurers from denying senior citizens coverage based on their age.
4. I thought the number of people covered by Medicaid would be higher, especially with the economy being how it is, but it was only at 14%. It's still a lot of people of course, just not as many as I thought it would be.
@Taylor-I was surprised that Medicaid is voluntary too, and more surprised that all the states voluntarily adopted the program.
@Jamie-Yeah I found that most of the bureaucracy articles were pretty biased.

ReplyDeleteWell.....this was fun, especially with my dial up...*sobs*....I wasted 2 hours of my life screaming at the computer for being slow....and I even knocked over the power cord when I was almost finished too....I'm so happy that it actually worked. WOOHOO!!!
1.When I googled Health care, my results were pretty set in stone. Almost every site that I've looked at, they didn't speak too well about the national health care bill and most thought that it would ruin America, not help it. The websites were completely biased against the health care bill, which in my mind, is sort of a bad idea.
2. Sadly, I would have loved to have read all about page 195 but.....I have dial-up so....it didn't load. Too bad....
3. Basically, AARP is for the health care bill and this means that the bill has gained at least a little more support than it had before.
4. I was suprised that medicaid covered so may of the population and I thought that you neede to have it if, you were in need of it. So, well that's cool that I got to learn something new about a mediacal plan set up for us.

Good point....who is 'they'? It's kind of weird that 'they' don't mention who 'they' are whenever 'they' talk about their concerns. Haha....fuuny....they're so weird...

1.All in all the couple of sites i looked were just saying about how much money this is all going to cost us. Even tohugh it is costing us a lot of money in the long run it's going to save the United States money.
2. page 20
Well if i take this al in correctly...... ummmm this is saying that people who had health insurance have to explain what it was that their insurance covered and the reasons for why it was dicontinued. It also says that the Secratary may have discouraged an individual from staying with their current health insurance. It says that the company providing the insurance will need to reimburse the program for the services used.
3. AARP came out and said that they had no prblem with the new health care plan. It gives them financing for things like Medicare.
4. The surprising thing that i saw was the list of things that it does and doesn’t cover.

Don't you guys hate how this thing is worded. Due to my utter lack of life, I paged through some other parts of the bill and MY GOD! do these people even know what they're saying? I think these bills should be understood by most (or at least many) of the people they might affect. Geez.
Drew Holtzapple pd 4
ReplyDelete1. When I googled health care bureaucracy I got this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2293108/posts Looks like some sort of treasure map. Well it's actually a chart made by Republicans depicting how complicated and what a nightmare the national health care plan will be. It seems as though Republicans will do anything to make national health care look bad. Even drawing insinuating pictures.
2. Page 170: That page was all about cost sharing. It said that the Commisioner will establish a permissable range of cost-sharing variation for each basic, enhanched, and premium healthcare plan. The range may fluctuate no more than 10%. I don't really know what cost-sharing is (not a government person) maybe you can tell me this week.
3. It says that the seniors group plans to endorse Obama's health care bill. Of course they do it benefits them. They'd have to be senile to not support it.
4. I was surprised that about 2 million people in Pennsylvania are recipients of medical assistance. That's about 1/6 of PA's population. That's a lot more people than I would have expected. But I guess it shouldn't be that surprising with the recession and people not have jobs.
@Jeff: Yeah it does have a broad coverage. I guess that's why so many people are receiving benefits.
@Robert: Of course you weren't surprised.

ReplyDeletepd.1
1. So basically what I found was a group from connecticut compare this healthcare bureaucracy to that of Canada. It was basically saying that we are wasting more money on the agency for healthcare so that we could never get enough money to insure all that are uninsured because we are too worried about the bureacracy rather than the actual bill. So pretty much their agenda is to be better spenders and focus on the job at hand which is insuring those who are not. They are telling everyone how much is bein wasted in this whole process.
2. ok I'm on pg 82 and its describing limits on data and how it is protected. Saying that none of the data can be used if it violates federal laws of any kind. It also says the the secretary mustensure that the data is enclosed and kept private based on the laws previously described..
3. anyone realize that no one really looked at the AARP site cuz everyone copied the person above them? they all say something like "it appears that blah blah blah" anyway AARP people are saying that basically the people on it will still be covered and get their benefits. They say that they are monitoring the bill everyday to make sure that the 50+ people will not be forgotten in the reform and they are fighting to give them every right they had from before and then some. So hey if your 50 or older go to the AARP website to make sure your not losing your insurance benefits!
4. I think it is most surprising that medicaid is in every state even though it is voluntary. Usually there is some state that decides to be different and refuse to adopt a new idea. A lot of the time its PA but all 50 states have it and it is also different that each state can have different rules within the same idea and regulations so it sucks if you move and are on medicaid cuz you may get different benefits depending on the state.
@ Kenny I agree it is cool to see how many people are covered under medicaid but some people abuse the system and have more kids to get more money which is really stupid!!
@ Taylor I totally agree with the surprising aspect of medicaid because as I said usually not everyone is for something
Casie Strausbaugh pd. 4
ReplyDelete(just got wisdom teeth out, so might sound interesting) haha
1. When i googled health care, i found that many people thought our policies and systems were a waste of money. One site i found had a section on how the Canadian health care plan works a lot more efficiency, and doesn't waste as much money. But at the same time, many people think the opposite of that.
2. My page was pg. 284
It mainly talked about the treatment of coverage resulting from elections. It also discussed on this page the health cverage participation requirements.
3. The AARP is definitely for the new health care reform, but as many other people said, i think it is mainly because they will get more money from it.
4. Once again like many other people wrote, i was also surprised at the number of different people it covers. Elderly, children, disabled, you name it. I think this is why so many people are for it.

Yay! After a weekend of no internet, i'm glad to be back on the web!
1.Well to sum up several websites, I realize that most of them think that health care is a big waste of money. That bureaucracies are going to waste our money, and the health care bill is going to be a big mess. This is what makes me jealous of Canada…how did they do it?
2. Oh Goodness…math. Ok. So month (12) + day (25) + steps (13) * TV’s (6) = 50 * 6 = 300
Wow, page 300 talked about exemptions, but it didn’t exactly say who was exempt. Maybe it would help if I would read a couple more pages…but I have a life.
3.Well to my surprise it seems that the AARP is for the health care bill. It says that it will be paid for by what we’ll be saving, and that it will reduce spending and fraud.
4. I had no idea how many people Medicaid covered. I thought it only covered the poor…but I guess I was wrong.

ReplyDelete1. The sites i found on the health care bill reported that it is basically supported by the democratic population and that republicans think it is too complex and unimportant. The health care bill is to be made more similar to that of the one in Canada and the purpose is to cut spending on unneeded aspects.
2. My page was 210.
To summarize my page, it said that the secretary must repay grants and loans to the treasurey over a 10-year period. If a cooperative violates the terms of a CO-OP program and doesn't correct it within a reasonable period of time, they will repay the total amound owed and interest.
3. The AARP tends to support the new health care reform because of its funding toward the interest group.
4. In my eyes, Medicaid has never been that popular amongst the people, yet reading over the article it seems that it covers many people. I'd think it would get a better perception by the population for that reason.

ReplyDelete@ Hoover,
you posted this at 11:11!! haha
1. so i looked at a GOP view point for this, John Boehner's (hahaha) point of view to be exact. He basically said that the healthcare plan was $1.5 trillion wasted. The plan would lead to a bad quality of healthcare and would limit the doctor and patient. Also it would hurt small businesses, hurt the economy, and hurt the federal budget.
so i say f.u. boehner!
2. page 210.
This basically talked about paying back the repayment of loans and grants taken out for the program. The secretary of treasury is responsible. between the fiscal years or 2010 and 2014 $5x10^9(to the 9th power) will be distributed for the health care bill. All 50 states and D.C are included.
3. AARP is for the healthcare plan. they benefit from it.
4. 14% of the population has medicaid. with the downfall of the economy, i thought we'd have more persons with medicaid.
@ Grant,
yeah, i agree with you, medicaid should cover prescription drugs if it covers other validities.
@Taylor
for your #4, i didn't know that until i read your thing. whoop-whoop
Nicole Lucas Pd.4
ReplyDelete1. Some people like the health care bureaucracy and some don't. One website said that the health care bureaucracy consumes at least $399.4 billion annually, but we could save $286 billion annually from the health care reform, which would let us give 41 million Americans health care. Another website said that the health care bureaucracy is wasting money and the health care reform is a huge waste of money.
2. Page 82. The page just states rules that need to be followed. It states that no information collected can be used in a manner that would violate state or federal laws. It said that the Secretary can make sure all previous health care related things are running smoothly with the new reform. It also says that the Secretary will ensure that all data collected will be kept disclosed in a manner that meets the HIPAA privacy and security laws.
3. It seems that the AARP is for the Senate version of the health care reform. It says that the bill is largely financed by savings in future Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid spending. The bill will also reduce fraud, waste and inefficiencies in the medicare program.
4. I was suprised at how little the states have to pay for Medicare compared to the federal government, because the states get to administer and run their own Medicare program. And it's suprising at how many different groups of people are put under the Medicare program;children, pregnant women, people in foster care. I thought Medicare was for the old and poor.
@ Zach
It is suprising at how many people are covered under the medicare program.
@ Jamie
I agree with you that the aarp is liking the health reform bill. It'll help with medicare and cost less.

ReplyDelete1. I read that most people think that bureaucracys are big wastes of money and time. I read several survey results and that popped up the most. In my opinion, i think that we could maybe do without bureaucracys and find an alternate route to doing things.
2. Page 384. Wow that was confusing, but what i gathered is that there is something connecting the secretarys to the national budget, and how the secretary implements it. i really did not get any of it because of subparagraph E referring to subparagraph A resuting from section F. too confusing.
3. AARP is all for healthcare reform, they seem to favor the senates over the house, they believe it will be effective. Fraud wont be an issue either.
4. Health care covers so much, and the states dont even have to pay much, the national government pays for a lot of it and spends a lot on it.
@ rach- totally agree with the medicaid thing, maybe the public would favor it more if they knew that.
@ danni- thats all i got from google also, a bunch of complaints.

2. Okay. Mr. hoover i have dial up and ive been waiting for ten minutes for this website to load. it wont. and it locked my computer up. so im skipping it.
3. AARP gets money for supporting obamas health care bill. my gram informed me over the weekend. she stopped getting theyre health care because of it. too much money.
4. I was unaware about who all it covered. Many people could be under one of the categories to get medicaid.
Mariah Snyder pd 4
ReplyDelete1. The main argument on healthcare bureaucracy is that it wastes way to much money. People think it could actually be spend on people who are uninsured instead. For example, $399.4 is used annually on healthcare. People who are uninsured would save approximately 6,000 to 7,000 dollars if thsi would occur.
2. pg 195
It basically just talks about the Health insurance exchange trust fund. It describes the payments to the trust fund, transfers to the trust fund, and dedicated payments.It says the commisser should pay time to time in the trust fund.
3. The AARP talks positive about healthcare. They support it because of the finances involved.
4. It suprised me to see only 14 percent of the population was using medicaid. You would think more people would use it .
@Grant: I also think it should cover prescriptions and that sort of stuff.
@ Tahi: i didn't know that either, until i read your post, then followed along and read taylors (: haha.

ReplyDelete1. The main arguemnt against healthcare bureaucracy is cost. Any bureaucracy revolves around money, and obviously one as massive as a healthcare bureaucracy would involve an exorbinate amount of time and money.
2. Ok, i didn't actually count all the stairs in my house but if you were in my house you would understand. Pg. 384-Dear god that was confusing. Basically a secretary has certain powers regarding the national budget and then the page kind of goes off on a tangent referring to different subparagraphs.
3. The AARP definitely supports healtcare reform.
4. What surprises me the most about this program is the vastness of its coverage. The program covers a rather large number of people.
@ Hivner
Like it.

ReplyDelete1. All the sites I found were people whining or agreeing with the policies. Nothing about an agenda.
2. Pg. 153. At first it talks about it not going against other acts. Then after that its kinda a bunch of political mumbo jumbo so I don't really know what it's talking about.
3. The AARP is for it. It would be more affective in their opinion and would reduce the occurance of fraud.
4. I didn't know how many people were covered by Medicare. I thought it was only for the poor or homeless people. I didn't know it applied to foster kids, pregnant mothers, and others as well
@ Nicole
I was also surprised at who all it applied to
@ Tilley
I agree, I think the AARP is definintely for it.

ReplyDelete1. i looked at the US vs Canada health care bill program on google. it said that the us is wasting too much money on the before hand process of this health care bill than what it would cost to provide health care to the uninsure. it doesnt think the us will have enough money to do it. im pretty sure it is put out by the canadians since its bashing US.
2. page 123
well that basically said about all of your perscriptions will be reimbursed annually by a prearranged provider. something like that.
3. aarp is endorsing the health care bill. it says its the first time aarp has put its entire weight behind a legislative program.
4. medicad provides coverage to many people including disabled, poor, children, ect. about 14% of the population.
@ scott and mostly everyone. the health care bill is confusing i agree. who writes that and who do they expect to understand it?
@ hivner yeah i didnt know that medicad covered so many other people.

ReplyDelete1 Basically they are saying that a health care bureaucracy takes more money than a national health care plan would. One site i clicked on said that America is going to waste away when all the others said this will help us and we will be successful and reduce spending.
2 Ok pg 82, it describes limits on data. It also talks about how data cant be used if it violates federal law. And some other crap
3 The AARP is pretty much for the healthcare plan. They think it will be successful
4 Um can't really say it any different than everyone else did. Medicaid covers alot of people and i never thought it did cause i don't ever hear about it.
@ Grant Eh i don't agree with you about medicaid covering prescription drugs. This could cause a huge rise in drug abuse because the only problem the drug dealers would have is to become prescribed which lieing would work.
@Lamar Yea i was surprised about the whole medicaid coverage too.

ReplyDelete1. After reading this, i first thought WOW this is biased. It says that the health care bureaucracy is costing us a ton, and the numbers seemed possibly a little little too high.
2.210. this is about how the loans we're taking out for the plan will be reimbursed. the secretary of treasury says that something to the ninth power amount of money will be distributed in 2010 to 2014, although the world will end before then so we'll all be dead and this plan will be a wasted effort.
3. They're totally for the senate's version of the bill
4. The states have nothing to worry about. The nt'l government is paying for most of the costs and it seems like almost everyone is being included.

ReplyDeleteThe health care bureaucracy consumes lots of money every year. There are two groups of people on the issue of the health care debate. There are the people who are for health care reform and there are those who are against it.
P111
The first part was in regards to oral health care. The secretary of health and human services is to report to congress a study showing the need and cost of providing oral health care to adults as part of the essential health care package. The next part was about forming a Health Benefits Advisory Committee that would recommend types plans to people. The Surgeon General would be the chair of said committee. The other members of the committee would be as follows; nine people who are not employed by the federal government and should be appointed by the president.
The AARP supports the health care bill but prefers the senate version of the bill to the house’s. It seems that the senate’s version of the bill is more beneficial to the AARP and to Medicare and Medicaid.
The number of people and areas of health care that Medicaid covers was one of the things that I found surprising. I also had the impression that Medicaid could not cover many people and that its coverage was horrible, but this article makes it sound better than the impression I had.

ReplyDelete1. Most of the sites i went to all said the same thing. They said how the health care bureaucracy involves too much money. With everything there are two sides to everystory. One against the healthcare bureaucracy, and one for it.
2. 310. But the stupid thing isnt working soo i dont know what to do. *insert sad face.
3. The AARP supports the health care bill but thinks that the senate's take on it will benift the AARP more so than the others.
4. I was very shocked at how many people are receiving medicare. People such as pregnant women and foster kids among receivers. I didnt know pregnant women could get medicare.
@Robert
Haha stupid dial-up
@DRew
nice points you got there. Very informative.

ReplyDelete1. It was about the republicans trying to destroy the bill, mostly.
2.Pg. 216 My page was all about funding, starting up fees, payouts, bailouts, and its limitations.
3.AARP is for the health care bill. Why wouldnt it. Its just gonna make them have more power and money.
4. I was surprised how large the whole program is and how much it covers.
@ Kyle
310 is a high number. You either have a lot of tv's or steps.
@Ryan
I agree, you really dont hear about Medicad to much at our age.
Thomas Boyer pd 4.
ReplyDelete1. Of course the first results were mostly Conservatives ranting about the disastrous aspects and implications of putting up the bill, and the bill itself. Basically the plan isn't efficient as it spends a bucket load that could be used to covered the uninsured, and it is just a mess. It is more of just trying to pass something largely nationalized. Different GOP and other Conservative organizations posted several charts showing how money is "wasted", and how the bureaucratic setup of Health Care will be largely inefficient, large number of agencies, etc.
2. Haha... page 212, YAY. Seriously though, double spaced, wide margins, capital headings etc... waste of 1990 pages. Anyways, this page talks about comparing benefit levels and complying to requirements for a "Level" playing field. Also states something complicated about contracts between certain persons that can be created in this organization of Health Care as long as no major financial risks are put on any individual.
3. Older people in the field may lose jobs, reduced health care benefits, charged more(less representation to older people). However, they cannot cancel or deny pre-existing benefits based on personal gains or because of recent illness.
4. PA's Medicaid system is much more broader than I thought. I knew about certain matching funds, but the range is HUGE and they can even use it for waivers from other facilities that they can take money from the Fed's and not use their own.
@Zach, looks like you were surprised about the same thing after I wrote my reply up.
@Kenny, Knocked over the power cord? it hangs up on itself in a pile and you can knock it over? Lol, anyways... WOOT DIAL UP!!! back in the day you could record tones back from a password panel and play it back and.... UNLOCK!!!

ReplyDelete1. I looked at a chart posted on foxnews.com. They estimate that the bill will cost over a trillion dollars. Fox is trying to show that the bill will create an overwhelming number of bureaucratic agencies. Fox wants the bill to be shot down.
2. Page 204. This portion of the bill is about the states compacting insurance agencies. Meaning any insurance company that wishes to seek customers across state lines may do so in the states entered into a compact with their state of residence. If a state wishes to join in a compact they must pass a law stating that they may do so. It also states that states are not required to enter into such an act.
3. AARP supports the health care bill. The main concern of the AARP is that it’s constituents would still be covered in much the same manner, which they are and therefore they are happy enough to endorse it
4. They Medicaid in PA sort of makes want to stay here. When I get old I should definitely be covered. However, from having older family members it’s not perfect and for some things they only tend to cover so much of. Personally if the government is going to give us health care when we get older we should be covered for whatever the expense after all the elderly have paid in to the Medicaid system much longer and some since it’s been created.

Alrighty, to expand on number 3:
The senate democrats recently proposed the 2,000 something page bill, even though passing of it may take a long time. It seems like AARP is for the senate version of the bill, but they're just concerned with the issue of people being covered the same with the new health care as the same or better than their previous health care. I think they also like this version of the bill because it taxes somewhat the wealthier, something that all of us poor folks could benefit from.
and i did a pretty good job with my other answers...so im done..
Yetter, pd 4
ReplyDelete1. Fox News says that the Health Care Bill will just create one big jumbled mess and be too confusing with too many aspects. They also stress how costly it will be, totaling around $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion over 10 years. Fox just wants the bill to die. What else is new.
2. (37+1+9)3= page 141
LOOK I MATHED.
This page is about health insurance coverage that would be offered through the Health Insurance Exchange. It states that coverage under said Health Insurance Exchange would still have protected information for nondiscrimination purposes, and state laws still apply.
3. There are some mixed feelings among members, but all in all the AARP approves of the Health Care Bill. The main concern it has is if their members will be covered in the same way, and if so, they will gladly welcome it.
4. Medicaid is broader than I thought. I thought it was much more specific in eligibility, but turned out to be much more general, and the requirements less than I thought them to be. Yaaaaaaaay.
St. Clair Simmons Pd. 4
ReplyDelete1. Looking up health care on google pretty much yeilds the same results always: the republicans think it's bad. They draw charts that say it's complicated and it sucks and it'll take to long to go into effect and it'll kill Americans and American pride.
2. Pg. 22
Stuff will be better because there is new Barackolicy that makes premiums fun.
3. The AARP thinks it's a-okay because they could benefit from it. Plus, they are for the good of the people, as the health care bill apparently is.
4. I was perplexed as to why so many people complain about not being covered, because it seems like medicaid covers a lot of bases.
@Nathan
I dunno if Fox wants the bill to be shut down. I think it wants to appeal to people who want the bill to be shut down.
@everyone
Yes, medicaid covers a lot of people. deja vu.
Scientists are discovering more and more about the connections between dental health and the health of our entire body. If our eyes are the windows to our soul, then our mouth is the front door to our body and the teeth may well be the windows to our health, according to mounting evidence that suggests there is a strong link between them. Which is something I have been saying as a holistic dentist for many years. 威而鋼哪裡買
