In this episode, hosts Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas speak with Richard Kellner, founder of the Polycystic Kidney Disease-Free Alliance, and Natasha Rogina, the organization's chief spokesperson. Together, they discuss polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and how pre-implantation genetic testing-monogenic (PGT-M) can help families prevent passing this genetic condition to their children. Natasha, who has PKD herself, shares her personal decision to pursue IVF with PGT-M to ensure her children would not inherit the disease. PKD is a progressive condition that typically leads to kidney failure by midlife, often requiring dialysis or a transplant. Because many insurers do not cover genetic testing, the PKD-Free Alliance offers grants to help families access PGT-M to prevent passing the trait to their children. The PKD-Free Alliance's goal is to raise awareness and let couples know this option exists. This insightful conversation explores genetic inheritance, reproductive choices, and the future of PKD prevention, offering hope to families facing this challenging condition.

In this episode, we dive into the world of fertility grants—how to find them, how to apply, and what it takes to increase your chances of receiving funding. Many grant programs require detailed personal and financial information to ensure recipients can complete an IVF cycle, even if the grant doesn't cover the full cost. We discuss how to write a compelling personal statement, gather the necessary financial documents, and navigate the limitations that often come with these grants. Julie shares insider tips on what grant agencies look for in applicants and how to improve your chances of securing funding. If you're searching for ways to finance your fertility journey, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you take the next step.This episode was brought to you from ReceptivaDx and Shady Grove Fertility.

At HIMSS, we sat down to talk with CommonWell Health Alliance to learn about their passion for interoperability and some of the latest happenings with the CommonWell community. This included an update on CommonWell's new technical service provider, ELLKAY and their recent designation by the federal government as a Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN). CommonWell was formed 11 years from a consortium of major EHR vendors to carry out the mandate for interoperable data exchange in the HITECH and Affordable Care acts. As Executive Director Paul L Wilder points out, they are a “switchboard” through which clients can find patient data, but CommonWell doesn't maintain any patient data itself (unlike, for instance, many health information exchanges). Along with these important updates, we also asked Liz Buckle, Director of Product at CommonWell Health Alliance, to talk about their work on CommonWell 2.0 and their journey to TEFCA. Plus, Buckle shares with us a bit about how they're approaching FHIR and what role that's going to play for CommonWell going forward.

The American health insurance system, a complex and costly issue, is a topic that has been the subject of much debate and controversy. Many Americans struggle to afford health insurance, and the system is largely profit-driven, with pharmaceutical companies and insurance providers reaping billions in profits. However, there are alternatives and potential solutions to these challenges. David Contorno and Emma Fox, both experts in the field, argue that the system is flawed and in need of alternatives. They believe that insurance should not cover primary care or physical therapy, as these services could be paid for in cash at a much lower cost than insurance premiums. They criticize the current system for being profit-driven and advocate for building health plans that prioritize cost containment and incentivize high-quality providers. They also question the role of insurance carriers, suggesting that they serve no purpose, and that the intention of insurance should be to protect individuals from catastrophic loss. Join David Contorno and Emma Fox on this episode of The Healthcare Hangover podcast as they delve deeper into the challenges and alternatives in the American health insurance system.Timestamped Outline:(00:00:34) The High Costs of Health Insurance(00:05:03) The Impact of Charity Care Programs on Nonprofit Hospitals(00:09:14) The Impact of Healthcare Costs on Bankruptcy(00:12:22) Maryland's Successful Healthcare Cost Reduction Experiment(00:21:05) Inflated Bills and Decreased Quality of CareSocial Posts:

The podcast episode "The Dangers in Healthcare" explores the alarming trend of violence within the healthcare system, citing a specific incident in Portland where a security guard was shot and killed. The hosts discuss how hospital administrators often encourage staff to placate aggressive visitors and patients to avoid negative reviews, impacting federal reimbursement rates. They also delve into the connection between gun violence and the lack of affordable healthcare, suggesting that financial implications contribute to people's fear and defensiveness. Another episode discusses the frustration and anger that arise from denied healthcare claims and the lack of understanding in the current healthcare environment. The hosts shed light on the role of insurance carriers in denying claims and the financial incentives behind it. They also highlight issues with medical management in insurance plans and the prioritization of profits over patient care. Additionally, the podcast touches on the frustration individuals face with insurance coverage and healthcare expenses, and the increase in lawsuits related to these issues. Lastly, the hosts discuss the evolving landscape of healthcare referrals and the need for collaboration between different stakeholders.Episode Outline:(00:00:02) Violence in Healthcare(00:04:32) The Impact of Denied Claims(00:08:50) Issues with Medical Management in Insurance Plans(00:13:08) Insurance Coverage and Healthcare Expenses(00:17:18) Change in Healthcare ReferralsQuotes:(00:03:43) There's a lot of gun violence in the US. It doesn't really matter what side of the fence you sit on. I don't think you could possibly deny that we have heightened gun violence in the US. And you and I have talked through how much of that is related to the lack of affordable and accessible health care.(00:07:18) I think it was done by the insurance industry for the purpose of making it difficult for people to access high value care that is relatively inexpensive, therefore making it more likely that you're going to need low value care that's very expensive.(00:12:00) Every stakeholder in this country has fallen in love with their captor, which is the insurance company.(00:15:23) I do think that there are more people that are waking up to hold on a second, this is the big bad monster under the bed. I still don't think it's enough, though.(00:17:57) But it really is great to really build a health plan with a doctor involved at every step along the way.Social Post:

In this episode we talk about population behavioral health with Dr. Nishi Rawat, founder of OpenBeds, a behavioral health treatment availability platform, who now serves as chief clinical officer at Bamboo Health. Dr. Rawat, welcome to the Move to Value podcast. Can you give us an overview about the current state of behavioral health in rural communities?Sure I, you know, I think that it's important, first off, to know that the rural United States consists of 97% of the land area and is home to about 20% of the population with 50% of the population living in the South. When it comes to mental health conditions in rural versus urban areas, the prevalence of mental health conditions is the same overall. But the nature of the conditions, as well as the driving factors, are very different in rural areas. We see higher rates of suicide and depression with the rate of suicides unfortunately increasing overtime and the unique driving factors include economic ones like intergenerational poverty and higher rates of unemployment. Social ones like isolation, loneliness, and more stigma associated with such conditions. And finally environmental factors like climate change and natural disasters, which aren't exactly top of mind for those of us that that live in urban areasWhen it comes to barriers to optimal behavioral health, can you tell me what differences exist between rural and urban communities?Again the prevalence of mental health and substance use disorder conditions is relatively similar, but again, the nature and the driving factors are different in terms of access to care, especially access to Affordable Care, that remains - it's a significant issue in both urban and rural areas. But it's particularly problematic, if that's even possible, in rural areas. 75% of US counties are known as mental health practice shortage areas. That means that they don't have enough psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, school counselors, and that shortage is correlated to two main factors. Number one, rurality, and number two, per capita income so that the lower the per capita income the higher the likelihood of having a shortage of mental health practitioners. Now with respect to differences in affordability we know that affordability is the single most important factor correlated to using care. Increased cost sharing is associated with not seeking out the necessary behavioral health treatment that you need. And in the higher cost of services can result in a lower likelihood of going out and accessing behavioral health services. So rural residents are actually they're more likely to be uninsured and underinsured as you know. They're also more likely to receive Medicaid than urban residents. Now Medicaid is a good thing because that's actually correlated with easier time accessing behavioral health care but the problem is that 2/3 of the rural uninsured population live in states that did not expand Medicaid. And then finally those who are covered by private insurance or among those who are covered by private insurance, rural residents are far more likely than urban residents to have a high deductible health plan. So a couple of whammies there for rural residents generally when it comes to affordable access to care or access to Affordable Care rather.Do you see any perceived stigma of having a behavioral health issue factoring into patients not utilizing resources that are available to them? Are these folks afraid of being seen as broken?Yeah, absolutely that's one of the again important drivers or differences between urban and rural populations is again the stigma associated with mental health and substance use disorder conditions generally just

What does health equity mean to you? For Dr. Steve Neeleman, Founder of HealthEquity, it's a way to bring healthcare to all those who need it, not just those who can afford it. Inspired by his own family's health concerns and insurance quibbles, Steve created a company that bridges the gap left by insurance. While insurance can cover the bigger medical expenses, HealthEquity helps with the smaller issues that insurance doesn't always cover. By helping people save for future health issues, HealthEquity helps people avoid tricky financial situations. Steve joins this episode of A Healthier Future to give us a window into his background, his family life, and what led him to start HealthEquity. We hear his thoughts on doing good as an entrepreneur and how he's helping Intermountain Healthcare with its Primary Promise fundraising efforts. Listen to learn: How Steve's upbringing inspired him to become a doctor What led him to start HealthEquity Why diversity is so important How social-economic status affects people's ability to get the right healthcare What our Primary Promise program aims to do to help children in need Why entrepreneurism is a chance to do good Key Links HealthEquity: https://healthequity.com/ (https://healthequity.com/) Primary Promise: https://intermountainhealthcare.org/primary-childrens/about/primary-promise/ (https://intermountainhealthcare.org/primary-childrens/about/primary-promise/) Intermountain Healthcare: https://intermountainhealthcare.org/ (https://intermountainhealthcare.org/)

Today on Boston Public Radio: We begin the show by asking listeners their experiences with student loans, after the Biden Administration announced plans to extend the pause on federal repayments through August. Jon Gruber reflects on his experiences working on the Affordable Care act 12 years ago, and what he thinks should be done to improve health coverage in the U.S. Gruber was instrumental in creating both the Massachusetts healthcare reform and the Affordable Care Act, and his latest book is “Jump-Starting America: How Breakthrough Science Can Revive Economic Growth And The American Dream.” Andrea Cabral responds to the news of no criminal charges for the police officers who killed Amir Locke, and a Chicopee school superintendent arrested on charges of lying about alleged threats sent via anonymous text messages. Cabral is the former Suffolk County sheriff and Massachusetts secretary of public safety, and former CEO of the cannabis company Ascend. Chuck Todd updates listeners on the latest political headlines, including his opinion on student loan forgiveness and Senate votes for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Todd is the moderator of “Meet The Press” on NBC, host of “Meet The Press Daily” on MSNBC and the political director for NBC News. Governor Charlie Baker and Juliette Kayyem discuss Kayyem's latest book, “The Devil Never Sleeps: Learning to Live in an Age of Disasters,” and how to best prepare for disasters. Baker is Governor of Massachusetts. Kayyem was formerly an assistant secretary for homeland security under President Barack Obama, now the faculty chair of the homeland security program at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Then, Baker answers questions from listeners, including on the state of COVID vaccinations, how Massachusetts is supporting Ukraine and other refugees and the fate of sports betting legislation.

Contrary to the predictions of political consultants and commentators, both of America's two major parties have continued to be politically relevant since the GOP broke a decades-long congressional losing streak in the 1994 midterm elections. The American government has been closely divided, with each party taking trifecta control of the government only a very few number of times. But even when they did have the trifecta-- that is control of the presidency Senate and the House of Representatives-- neither party passed much significant domestic policy legislation, aside from some tax cuts by Republicans and the Affordable Care by Democrats. Fast-forward to the current moment, President Joe Biden has seen his approval rating among fellow Democrats fall recently, as some of his own voters have become dissatisfied. Biden's more left-wing critics have faulted him recently for not delivering on promises, and they've cited polls showing that the public supports their ideas like free college education or universal health care coverage, but they haven't been able to enact these policy ideas. Meanwhile, on the other side of the partisan divide, the Republican party has many of its own internal divisions. And they're not just about Donald Trump, either. Polls have consistently shown that GOP voters don't really like any other Republican politicians besides Donald Trump, But other than wanting to live in the White House again, Trump himself seems to have no actual policies. In 2020, he refused to even create an official party platform for the Republican party. And more recently, the Republican Senate leader, Mitch McConnell, refused to say what sorts of policies that he would pursue if the GOP controlled the Senate. It's a confusing situation. Republicans won't talk about policy and Democrats can't enact it. So what's going on here? In this episode, we're joined by Daniel Cox, director of the Survey Center on American Life, which is a non-partisan project of the American Enterprise Institute that focuses on original research and polling about cultural, political, and technological change in American society. Before that he co-founded the Public Religion Research Institute.

What would you do if you lost your employer-provided health insurance? Would you sign up for the Affordable Care options, would you try a state program, or something different? If you haven’t investigated your options or considered what would happen if you needed to make a change with your health insurance coverage, this is the episode for you!  A while back I posted a blog article about health care coverage before the age of 65 but I wanted to make sure I updated it to include some critical changes that will impact people like you. I’ve also included some links that I know you will find helpful, they are located in the resources section at the end of this post.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

[7:30] Breaking down the insurance exchanges and how the process works [12:00] Using the open enrolment period and planning ahead [15:30]  Closing thoughts [17:15] Why 65?  When you consider your long-term health insurance coverage, are you basing your decisions on what your employer provides, or are you planning on something different? As you look ahead, remember to factor in the age of 65 - that is the age when you are eligible for Medicare.  Medicare is a national health insurance program administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), it primarily provides health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older, but also for some younger people with disability status.  Know your options  When it comes to assessing your options, it’s good to start by laying it all out on the table. Looking at all of your reasonable options and weighing the pros and cons can be an effective way of helping you make the right decision for you and your family. As I see it, here are the main options that most people have when it comes to considering health care coverage before the age of 65. Chose to have no health insurance.  You could qualify for your state’s version of Medicare.  Continue your existing health insurance from your employer using COBRA.  Investigate the individual plans that are available.  Purchase a plan through the Affordable Care Act.  Those are the five options as I see them when it comes to health care coverage before the age of 65.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Coronavirus surges around the United States as the country reaps the consequences of Donald Trump’s policy of denial. Republicans at all levels seem determined to expose the public to unnecessary harm. Meanwhile, Trump’s steamrolling of the judiciary continues with a party-line vote favoring Republicans in the US Senate. But the House hears testimony that could spell bad news for Attorney General Bill Barr. And lastly, state attorney generals push back on the power of big money. In California, Uber and Lyft may be forced to treat their so-called independent contractors like full employees. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Coronavirus Denialism Kills Thousands Trump may be in physical and mental decline, but he still has great power over matters of life and death for the entire planet. Yesterday a Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson told NBC News that Trump plans to end federal funding for coronavirus testing around the country. As many have attested, it’s not easy in many cities to get tested, which is a problem, because testing is most effective in a limited window of time after exposure to the virus. This week there were no appointments available at any of the forty testing sites in Los Angeles, per the LA Times. And some sites were closed. Trump’s policy of denialism guarantees that the pandemic will get worse and worse. Let’s be clear: he owns this. As he recounted to all of six thousand people who showed up to his hate rally in Tulsa, QUOTE I said to my people, slow the testing down, please ENDQUOTE. May he choke on a swab. Record case numbers were reported in at least five states. Nationwide, yesterday saw a record one-day surge in new COVID-19 cases. Texas is enduring what Republican Governor Greg Abbott called a massive outbreak, and Houston’s director of emergency medical services told reporters their infrastructure was overwhelmed. The governors of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut announced a mandatory quarantine for visitors from nine other states where coronavirus was spreading out of control. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, over the last two weeks, cases have risen by eight-four percent in states that don't require masks. But in states with mask orders, cases actualy fell by twenty-five percent. Washington State Governor Jay Inslee yesterday announced a statewide mask order. It was immediately undermined by a rightwing county sheriff who went on TV news and told people not to act like sheep. That pretty much sums up where we’re at with the pandemic. Who, ladies and gentlemen, is the real sheeple? Someone who acts with care and concern for their neighbors, or someone who denies all reality because their precious leader told them to? 200 Judges For Trump Assistant US Attorney Aaron Zelinsky testified to the House Judiciary Committee yesterday and, as expected, said he’d been pressured to give Roger Stone a break because Stone is friends with Trump. Zelinsky, who remains a federal prosecutor in Maryland, made Attorney General Bill Barr look even more corrupt than was previously evident. But until Barr can be impeached or otherwise removed, Trump continues to rack up wins within the judicial branch. Yesterday the Senate confirmed Trump’s two hundredth judicial nominee. Cory Wilson of Mississippi has joined the Fifth Circuit Court of appeals for life. These federal judgeships are lifetime appointments. On a largely party-line vote of 52 to 48, the Republican-led chamber approved the nomination of Cory Wilson of Mississippi to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. This new judge is another career Republican hack who called President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care act both illegitimate and perverse. Also yesterday, the US Court of Appeals for Washington, DC, overruled Judge Emmet Sullivan in the case against Trump adviser Michael Flynn. Sullivan had decided the case against Flynn must continue despite Bill Barr’s decision to drop it, but the appeals court said Sullivan did not have that power, as a judge. So it’s too soon to celebrate Barr’s evisceration in the House. Uber, Lyft Mistreated Workers There were a few victories in the struggle against greedy corporations yesterday. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (HAV-EE-AIR BAY-SERRA) filed for a judicial injuction against Uber and Lyft to immediately halt the unlawful misclassification of their drivers as independent contractors. Per a press release, the California AG was joined in the motion against the companies by the city attorneys of Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. Their lawsuit says the gig economy giants are depriving workers of QUOTE critical workplace protections such as the right to minimum wage and overtime, and access to paid sick leave, disability insurance, and unemployment insurance. Misclassification often results in workers being significantly more likely to draw on government-funded income supports to make ends meet, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill in lieu of big business ENDQUOTE. In Minnesota, AG Keith Ellison sued ExxonMobil, three companies owned by the Koch family, and an oil industry trade group for lying to the public and the government about climate change. And Germany’s Bayer corporation, which owns Monsanto, agreed to a $10.9 billion settlement over the cancer-causing chemicals in Roundup, the widely available weedkiller. That was owing to a class action lawsuit filed against the companies in California. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: Prosecutors in The Hague indicted the president of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi (HASH-EEM THAT-CHI), on war crimes yesterday for his role in a campaign of murder and torture. Nearly one hundred victims were claimed in the indictment that named nine other commanders in the Kosovo Liberation Army. Thaci cancelled his imminent visit to the White House, which he was traveling to when the news was announced. A grand jury in the state of Georgia indicted three white men for the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, who they chased and shot down for jogging while black. In Oregon, the self- proclaimed foot soldier for Hitler Jeremy Christian was sentenced to two life terms without parole. Christian killed two men and injured a third who rose to defend two black women he was harrassing on a train. The survivor of Christian’s attack, Micah Fletcher, said he hoped Christian would spend the rest of his life in jail, but still hopefully benefit from therapy. A Bank of America analyst named Kamal Sharma called the British Pound QUOTE an emerging market currency in all but name ENDQUOTE. This is the bank’s way of saying rightwing austerity policies combined with pandemic denialism and the rejection of international agreements has put the former imperial power in the same place as one of its former colonies. Blimey! A great plume of dust from the Sahara Desert is blanketing the globe and causing severe air quality problems in the Carribean. The dust plume, kicked up by powerful storms over central and western Africa, should hit the US today -- beginning with Texas. Another good reason to mask up! That’s all for the AM Quickie.

Plenary Coverage: ASCO Chief Medical Officer Dr. Richard L. Schilsky Discusses LBA1 with Dr. Amy Davidoff. Welcome to the ASCO Daily News podcast. I'm Dr. Richard Schilsky, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of ASCO. I'm pleased to be joined by Dr. Amy Davidoff, Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Yale School of Public Health and a member of the Yale Cancer Center to discuss racial disparities in cancer care. Dr. Davidoff presented abstract LBA1 entitled "Affordable Care Act-- Medicaid Expansion Impact on Racial Disparities in Time to Cancer Treatment" during today's plenary session. Dr. Davidoff, welcome to the podcast. Thank you for inviting me. So, obviously, the Affordable Care Act has changed the landscape for patients with cancer in many ways, including by expanding insurance coverage and improving access to care. Why did your team decide to examine the impact of the ACA through the lens of racial disparities? Prior to the ACA, low income, non-elderly adults had high rates of insurance and poor access to care, whether overall or for adults diagnosed with cancer. The population of uninsured adults was disproportionately African-American and numerous studies on the effects of the Affordable Care have demonstrated increases insurance and reduced race disparities in coverage. So we decided that we really wanted to understand whether this reduction in race disparities in coverage translated into improvements in care processes. With respect to cancer, studies by policy researchers, including myself, have demonstrated increases in insurance coverage for newly diagnosed cancer patients and some evidence of earlier stage at diagnosis for newly diagnosed cancer patients but very little research related to the Affordable Care Act in cancer patients has focused on the real processes of care. The flatiron data set allows a really rich examination of that dimension. And so we decided to examine whether there were disparities in timely treatments and whether the ACA was associated with reductions in those disparities. Makes good sense. Obviously, racial disparities in cancer care pose a serious issue and, in fact, a crisis for many patients who are at risk for either a delay in diagnosis or a delay in initiation of treatment as you point out. So tell us about your findings. How has the Medicaid expansion under the ACA improved access to care for African-American patients? Why do those patients seem to have benefited more from the Medicaid expansion than the white patients in your study population? As we all know, insurance is a really important factor in improving access to health care, generally-- specifically specialty care, such as oncology care-- and particularly for very low income adults who lack the financial needs to pay for care out of pocket. So to the extent that the ACA Medicaid expansions increased insurance coverage for African-Americans, we would expect reduced delays in diagnostic, workup, treatment initiation, continuation, and improvements in other outcome dimensions. We think that African-Americans likely benefited more than others because they had the most to gain in terms of insurance coverage. So what was the actual magnitude of benefit that you observed on your time point of time to treatment initiation? Prior to the Medicaid expansion, we measured that 43.5% of African-American patients were treated within 30 days of diagnosis and that was almost 5 percentage points less than for white patients after accounting for patient age, sex, and other factors that may have affected that timing. Patients diagnosed after their state had expanded Medicaid, among those almost 50% of African-American patients were treated within 30 days, which is now less than 1 percentage point less than for white patients. So the gap between African-American and white patients that we observed prior to Medicaid expansion had almost nearly disappeared for patients who were diagnosed in states with Medicaid expansions. So as you point out your study focused primarily on time to treatment initiation and we presume that will eventually lead to better outcomes for cancer patients. Will you be continuing to study this cohort determine if better outcomes actually were observed? We certainly can do that, particularly over time as we have longer periods in which to observe patients. We have not yet looked at that. And we certainly could for patients diagnosed in states with earlier expansions. Do you attribute the findings of your research to be due entirely to Medicaid expansion and the presumed greater access to care? Or are there other potential covariates that, perhaps, you haven't accounted for that might explain the earlier time to treatment initiation? This is something I've actually been wondering about myself is, is this strictly a result of Medicaid expansion? Or could there have been other things going on in those states at the same time or with those populations at the same time that contributed to the earlier time to treatment initiation? [? We ?] think there are a lot of things that are happening during this time period, including the introduction of many of the novel immunotherapies at end of life often that require some type of genetic testing prior to deciding about treatment. And those are happening concurrent with this sort of expanding Medicaid period that we're looking at. I think, though, that we account for those changes that are occurring over time by including control variables for quarter times, the calendar quarter. We also take into account state effects which control for sort of any unchanging underlying characteristics of each state in the analysis. So in terms of covariates, I think I'm less worried about that and more interested in other ways that the Affordable Care might have influenced timely treatment. Improving access to primary care which may have somehow assisted patients to be more informed, educated about their cancer treatment options if they had a primary care provider who is assisting them in managing those transitions. If patients were being enrolled in a clinical trial, the Affordable Care Act improves access to insurance coverage for routine care for patients in a clinical trial. So there are other aspects of the Affordable Care Act that could have facilitated these changes in timely treatment. Your point about access to primary care I find really interesting. Because in a sense, it's generally the primary care physician who makes the diagnosis of cancer. It's not the oncologist. And so when you're looking at a data set of oncologists medical records, you're looking at a population of patients who have already found their way to the oncologist. But in order to get to the oncologist, they presumably enter the health care system with a primary care provider who establishes the cancer diagnosis, gets them to the oncologist who can then initiate the treatment, which was your primary outcome measure. So there is an interesting progression here from how and when the patient can actually enter the health care system when some potential cancer related symptom initially surfaces. So it's really interesting point. I try to think holistically. In terms of this policy, I think-- not to get into politics here, but I think people who see the Affordable Care Act as just insurance coverage need to sort of step back and think about the just wide range of ways that it affects health care providers, payments, health care delivery innovation, et cetera. It's really very broad. Yes, so I was going to sort of wrap up with that question. Not to get into politics, but, obviously, the Affordable Care Act has been under threat really from the moment it was passed, maybe even before that of course from those who opposed its passage. But it is at least for the moment the law of the land. I suppose it's possible that if significant changes are made over time that states will find it more difficult to sustain this Medicaid expansion. Now, just curious as to what you're thinking about over the longer term in terms of how these benefits that are accruing to these patient populations can be sustained or what the consequences could be if the Medicaid expansion can't be continued? I think it's always hard to know how people [AUDIO OUT] when you take away something new that you've given them. So it is possible that even if some of the Medicaid expansions are rescinded that people may be motivated to obtain insurance through other mechanisms, certainly people who were eligible for Medicaid under sort of the pre-Affordable Care Act mechanisms who sort of came out of the woodwork to enroll once the Affordable Care Act was publicized and promoted. Those people probably will stay enrolled in Medicaid. But for certain populations, they were never eligible previously. And so they would probably lose their coverage. And we would go back to probably newly enhanced disparities in treatment associated with insurance, which is disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations such as African-Americans. So it's certainly something that we'll have to be alert to. And, obviously, I think your research findings in a sense illustrate the potential favorable impact of Medicaid expansion, but also expose the risks of potentially retrenching from that position. So thanks a lot for discussing your research with me. It's been really a great conversation. Again, today, my guest has been Dr. Amy Davidoff of the Yale Cancer Center.

This episode concludes our conversation about private health insurance. First, we answer a listener question, and define universal coverage, single-payer healthcare, and “Medicare for All”. Then, we discuss different depictions of private health insurance on television, on shows like One Day at a Time, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and High Maintenance. Characters make job and marriage decisions for health care, navigate bureaucracy, and struggle to understand the system. How relatable and true are these depictions? We discuss. Last, Brooke and Cori briefly discuss media that feels like it was tailor-made for them.For more information and for links to everything discussed in this episode, visit our show notes at: https://hohwpodcast.com/008-affordable-care-in-two-acts-act-ii/.

Is Naturopathic medicine a luxury service available only to those who have the means or coverage? That's certainly not what most NDs signed up for. And it isnt what patients of ours are looking for either. But with the realities of business; high rents and big debts, how does a working ND strike the balance?Today we talk to Chris about the hard and soft-hearted details of how he's been running an affordable care practice over the last ten years. 

Obamacare. Ryancare. Trumpcare. Maybe McConnellcare to come. The baffling world of modern American medicine, and the many obstacles that stand between patient and doctor, explain part of the reason the country struggles to find a political consensus on government's role in delivering health insurance.

Today is an opinion day!  I give the basics of insurance, how it applies to health insurance, and my views on the Affordable Care Act.  I also break out the old crystal ball and give my predictions of what is in store for all of us.  If I challenge your views…I want to hear about […] The post Episode 008 – My Opinion on The Future of Health Insurance first appeared on The NP Dude.

Some major things happened on tonight's podcast.  Our guest was none other than Jim Perry, the COO and VP of Affordable Dentures and Implants— plus a colleague of Justin's.  He shared plenty of his insight and business acumen— how it relates to dentistry and how dental schools just do not prepare their future doctors properly.  A bit of a bombshell was dropped when his departure from ADI was brought up.  Looks like he's going to dental school! From Affordable Dentures and Implants: Since joining Affordable Care in 2001 as director of professional development, James Perry was promoted to vice president of dental placement and, subsequently, to vice president of practice operations before being named chief operating officer. Mr. Perry was responsible for conceptualizing and forming the COO Study Club among a group of his colleagues in the Association of Dental Support Organizations. Prior to Affordable Care, he worked in the executive search industry for a subsidiary of publicly traded company. Mr. Perry holds a bachelor's degree from North Carolina State University and an M.B.A from Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina. He is married with three daughters. The other big reveal?  After 28 episodes, Gabe Olson now officially has a cartoon of himself for our podcast website and promotional material.  Welcome to the family, Gabe. Now, if only we could get "The Worm" to appear on OUR podcast sometime... Until next time, Cheers!

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) became law on 23 March 2010. As part of the law, two independent boards were established. The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute embodies national aspirations for employing comparative effectiveness research in healthcare decision-making, and the Independent Payment Advisory Board is focused on the need for a group of impartial experts to establish anticipatable growth rates for Medicare. Approximately 4 years after the bill was passed into law, these independent boards are at very different points in their life cycles. In this podcast, Josh Hirsch, Neuroendovascular Program, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Geraldine McGinty, Department of Radiology, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, and Richard Duszak, Vice Chair for Health Policy and Practice, Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine, give us a status update.Read the related article: http://goo.gl/mNRI8g

In May, we celebrate Mother's Day, a holiday created by Americans to honor our moms and their influence in society. With the presence of women with children in the workforce increasing, mothers are not only the glue that holds our homes together, but they are also the fuel helping to drive our economic recovery. Two-thirds of women with young children now work and nearly half are the primary breadwinner within their family. As more moms enter the workforce and “lean in” to build a successful career and household, however, the affordable, quality early care and education system their families need to lean on is noticeably absent. The women and moms working in the early care and education industry also face significant challenges. Low wages, few benefits and limited training or advancement opportunities are widespread in the early care and education industry, which contributes to high worker turnover, further eroding the quality of care. In this event, speakers discuss how we can have both an early care and education system that provides good jobs and quality, affordable care. This event features Helen Blank (Director of Child Care and Early Learning, National Women's Law Center), Susan Brenner (Senior Vice President of Education, Bright Horizons Family Solutions), Denise Dowell (Director Early Learning and Care Programs, CSEA), Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner (Executive Director, CEO, and Co-Founder, MomsRising), and moderator Catherine Rampell (Reporter, The New York Times). This event is part of the Working in America series, an ongoing discussion series hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program that highlights an array of critical issues affecting low- and moderate-income workers in the United States and ideas for improving and expanding economic opportunities for working people. For more information, visit as.pn/workinginamerica. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals' opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity.

In the coming days the supreme court of the United States will reach a decision on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care act. The individual mandate portion of the act has sparked the greatest nationwide controversy but it is the fate of expanded Medicaid that has indigent care providers and advocates across the commonwealth holding their breath. Host Cathy Lewis speaks with these groups about the roles they play in caring, and providing for Virginia's indigent population and what effect the Supreme Court's ruling will have on their ability to do so effectively.
