Podcasts about american health care act ahca

This week we are joined a few days early by Harold Pollack to bring you a timely update on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) repeal and American Health Care Act (AHCA) legislation that is moving quickly through congress. Harold has published widely at the interface between poverty policy and public health including the effects of health reform and the ACA. Today we talk about the current state of the repeal and replace effort in the Senate and what effects their bill would have in terms of individuals who would lose coverage or find it much more expensive should the bill pass. We also discussed the very dramatic changes the bill would likely make to Medicaid and how that might affect the poor and vulnerable people that the program serves, and in particular how it might impact the raging opiate epidemic. Lastly, we talk about what a bipartisan solution to many of the very real problems of the ACA might look like, and what impact individuals can have on policy by calling congress. You can find more information about the unusual legislative process here, and the lack of information available on the bill here. Read about the effects that changes to Medicaid might make for disabled individuals here, and listen to Matt Broaddus of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities discuss block granting and per capita caps on Medicaid here. If you would like to reach out to your Senator to talk with him or her about the legislation and how it might affect you or your patients, you can find your Senator’s contact information here. Harold is the Helen Ross Professor at the School of Social Service Administration, an Affiliate Professor in the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division and the Department of Public Health Sciences and Co-Director of The University of Chicago Crime Lab and a committee member of the Center for Health Administration Studies (CHAS) at the University of Chicago.

Listen NowThis past May 4, US House or Representative Republicans passed the American Health Care Act (AHCA).  The bill, defined by Republicans as a repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is now under debate among Senate Republicans. (Neither any House Democrat voted for the AHCA nor are there any Senate Democrats expected to vote for related Senate bill should it make the Senate floor.)  Per the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) estimate of the AHCA's spending and revenue effects, published May 24, the AHCA would cause 14 million Americans to lose their health insurance in 2018 and 23 million by 2026, 14  million of this latter total would be Medicaid recipients.  This is because the AHCA would cut $834 billion from the Medicaid program over the ten year budget window, or by 2026.  The cuts in Medicaid spending, along with substantial reductions in tax credits, would allow for ACA taxes, approximately $600 billion, to be rescinded.  For example, the ACA's 3.8% tax applied to capital gains for family incomes over $250,000 and a 0.9% Medicare surtax on wage income in excess of $250,000 per year, i.e., tax cuts that would benefit the comparatively wealthy.           During this 25 minute conversation Dr. Silverstein provides, among other things, his assessment of the AHCA, i.e., legislation moreover as tax relief for the wealthy, the likely effect it would have one women's health and on disparities in care and alternatively how the ACA could be improved. Dr. Jason Silverstein is a Lecturer and Writer-in-Residence at Harvard Medical School in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine.

The American Health Care Act (AHCA), aka "Trumpcare," just passed the House of Representatives in hopes of repealing and replacing Obamacare. What is the controversy over pre-existing conditions? What is considered a pre-existing condition? And will you have to pay more for your plan?

With the recent House passing of the American Health Care Act (AHCA), the state of queer public health is even more unsure and in danger. Part of what AHCA does, and what has caused the loudest outrage, is make it more difficult for folks with pre-existing conditions to get and keep adequate and affordable health insurance, and by extension, health*care*. A few items that have been listed as pre-existing conditions by the Kaiser Family Foundation include AIDS, HIV, “sexual deviation or disorder”, and transexualism. Obviously these particular ones disproportionately affect the queer and trans communities, in addition to all the … The post The State of Queer Public Health appeared first on The Strong Stance.

Recorded on March 22, 2017 In a lively debate Avik Roy and John Podhoretz discuss health care coverage and whether the American Health Care Act (AHCA), created to replace Obamacare/Affordable Care Act (ACA), will solve our health care problems. They both agree that if we could begin again we would never design a health care system like ours, but, since we cannot start over, how can we make things better. They debate whether universal health care coverage is a good idea, how to provide health care coverage to the most needy, and allow the wealthy and more capable citizens to choose and pay for their own coverage. Roy thinks the system the Affordable Care Act put in place caters too much to the wealthy and that the AHCA will just exacerbate health care inequality. Podhoretz and Roy’s debate ranges from health care to race, inequality, history, and the election of 2016. They note that the Republicans and Democrats are split/disagree on many issues and ideas. Trump voters watch different TV shows and movies, read different newspapers, and have different cultural experiences than the Clinton supporters; therefore the two parties see the world through very different lenses. They examine the changes in the Republican and Democratic Parties over time, including their involvement in the Civil Rights movement and the rise of identity politics and racism. The interview ends with a question on fatherhood and how it shapes both Podhoretz's and Roy's thinking as journalists and public intellectuals. Podhoretz does not want to foist his feelings and views on his children but notes that the media no longer make it possible for children to keep their innocence. Roy dreads sending his children to public schools and discusses some of the problems facing parents and children today. Roy says that parents can choose the environment in which they will raise their children and that there is no need to turn their children over to popular culture.
