From a global perspective, there are four main models of health care, each of which takes a different approach both legislatively and in practical terms of how it affects a populace's ability to obtain health care coverage and services. In 1929, Blue Cross established the first employer-sponsored health coverage in Dallas as a partnership between the Baylor University hospital and its patients. One of the largest health care acts in American history, commonly referred to as the Medicare and Medicaid Act, was approved by President Lyndon B. Johnson in July 1965. After intense debate, lawmakers passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) or Obamacare, which was signed into law on Mar. 23, 2010. 

Tredici presidenti – la vita, l'azione di governo, l'impatto che hanno avuto sull'America (e oltre) – raccontati in forma di una chiacchierata – non sempre seria. A fare le domande, Riccardo Alcaro, coordinatore delle ricerche dell'Istituto Affari Internazionali. Chi risponde è Mario Del Pero, illustre americanista e Professore di Storia Internazionale presso SciencesPo a Parigi. Oggi parliamo del 44° presidente degli Stati Uniti, il Democratico Barach Hussein Obama, in carica dal 2009 al 2017. Obama ha libertà di governare sul piano domestico solo per il biennio 2009-10 in cui i Democratici controllano tanto la Camera quanto il Senato, dove peraltro hanno una supermaggioranza di 60 senatori (fino alla morte di Ted Kennedy). Dopo che i Repubblicani torneranno a controllare la Camera (dal 2011) e poi il Senato (dal 2015), di fatto Obama riuscirà a fare poco in politica interna, e tutto quello che farà (in particolare sul fronte delle regolamentazioni ambientali e della protezione dei migranti entrati negli USA come minori o neonati) sarà soggetto a cause legali, a volte perse dell'Amministrazione. Nei due anni in cui può governare Obama ha due priorità: continuare e anzi accelerare la gestione della macro-crisi del 2008 e avanzare un'agenda di governo di ispirazione democratica. L'azione dell'Amministrazione Obama si traduce soprattutto nella promozione di tre grandi leggi approvate dal Congresso: La prima è il grande stimolo fiscale (del valore di circa 900 miliardi di dollari; la seconda legge è il Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, la riforma del mercato finanziario nota come Dodd-Frank; l'ultima grande legge fatta varare da Obama è naturalmente il Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, ovvero la grande riforma sanitaria nota come Obamacare. In politica estera Obama abbandona la retorica della Guerra Globale al Terrore, ma intensifica l'uso di droni per colpire sospetti terroristi, nonostante le controversie legali ed etiche per le vittime civili. In Europa rilancia la collaborazione con l'UE, che vede come un pilastro dell'ordine globale a guida americana e opera il reset con la Russia di Putin (ottenendo aiuto sull'Afghanistan, Iran e New Start); ma non prevede – e non si oppone con sufficiente durezza all'invasione russa dell'Ucraina del 2014 che risulta nell'annessione della Crimea e la destabilizzazione del Donbas. Le difficoltà in Medioriente ed Europa gli impediscono di dare maggiore sostanza al famoso pivot to Asia. Mantiene però relazioni molto buone con l'India e relativamente cordiali con la Cina, nonostante quest'ultima si faccia più aggressiva nel Mar cinese meridionale e sul fronte dello spionaggio. https://storiainpodcast.focus.it - Canale Personaggi A cura di Francesco De Leo.

The healthcare landscape is changing rapidly, with the roles of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) expanding significantly. This shift makes it crucial to understand the differences in training and competencies between these professionals and physicians. A study by the Association of American Medical Colleges highlights a projected shortage of up to 139,000 physicians by 2033, which intensifies the need for clarity in who provides patient care.Why should patients care about who is providing their medical care?This episode of "I Don't Care," hosted by Dr. Kevin Stevenson, addresses this critical question. Kevin is joined by Dr. Purvi Parikh from Physicians for Patient Protection, a grassroots organization advocating for physician-led care. The discussion centers on the importance of transparency in medical credentials and ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care.Key Points of Discussion:Training Differences: Physicians undergo extensive training, including medical school and residencies, accumulating over 16,000 clinical hours. In contrast, nurse practitioners and physician assistants have significantly fewer clinical hours, often leading to variations in the quality of care.Transparency and Misleading Practices: The proliferation of white coats among different healthcare providers can confuse patients. Dr. Parikh emphasizes the importance of clear credential display and proper introductions to prevent patients from mistaking non-physicians for physicians.Legislative Gaps and Corporate Exploitation: Some states have lax regulations allowing non-physicians to perform high-risk procedures. This has led to dangerous practices and patient harm, highlighting the need for stricter oversight and better legislation.Dr. Purvi Parikh is an allergist and immunologist affiliated with Physicians for Patient Protection. She holds a medical degree and has completed extensive post-graduate training. Dr. Parikh is a dedicated advocate for physician-led care, emphasizing the importance of transparency and patient safety in healthcare practices.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the comprehensive healthcare reform signed into law by then-President Barack Obama in March 2010. Formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and commonly referred to as Obamacare, the law includes a list of healthcare policies intended to expand access to health insurance to millions of uninsured Americans.1 The law expanded Medicaid eligibility, created health insurance exchanges, mandated that Americans purchase or otherwise obtain health insurance, and prohibited insurance companies from denying coverage due to preexisting conditions The ACA was designed to reform the health insurance industry and help reduce the cost of health insurance coverage for individuals who qualify. The law includes premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions to help lower expenses for lower-income individuals and families. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/investment-terms--4432332/support.

With over a dozen years of local cannabis industry experience, Cara has had influence in many aspects of the growing cannabis industry in Massachusetts including her work with Elevate Northeast, where she was on a team of cannabis industry leaders and educators and patients who shared a passion for creating educational programs and experiences that break stigma against the cannabis plant and those who consume and work with it. A mission close to our heart. She speaks with Joyce about a specific stigma she has experienced - and is experiencing again - as a pregnant woman consuming cannabis and what she has done and what she is hoping to do advocating for herself and others.The Hemp Guitar Campaign is in full swing and on today's show we preview the new promotional video.

The Honorable Rahm Emanuel, U.S. Ambassador to Japan, visits the U.S. Naval War College (NWC) on board Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island Feb. 22, 2024. During the visit Amb. Emanuel met with NWC President Rear Adm. Pete Garvin before addressing students, staff, and faculty on U.S., Japanese relations. Ambassador Emanuel became the 31st U.S. Ambassador to Japan in December 2021, prior to his current role he served as the 55th Mayor of the City of Chicago.About the Speaker:Rahm Emanuel was confirmed in a bipartisan vote as the 31st United States Ambassador to Japan on December 18, 2021. Previously, Ambassador Emanuel was the 55th Mayor of the City of Chicago, a position he held until May 2019. During that time, he made the critical choices necessary to secure Chicago's future as a global capital.As Mayor, the Ambassador added four years to a student's education. He increased the school day by 75 minutes and added more than 200 hours to the school year, marking the largest single increase in educational time by any city and taking Chicago from having the least educational time of any large school district in the country to being on par with its peers. He implemented universal pre-kindergarten and full-day kindergarten for every Chicago child, and made Chicago the first city in America to provide free community college.The Mayor's comprehensive public safety strategy focused on expanded prevention programs for at-risk youth, smarter policing strategies, and empowering parents and communities to reduce violence. The Ambassador made it a priority to bring global companies to the city, helping Chicago to lead the U.S. in corporate relocations and foreign direct investment for seven consecutive years. His administration invested in infrastructure, public transportation, open space, and cultural attractions. From the $8.5 billion O'Hare International Airport modernization program that is cementing Chicago's status as a global leader in travel, tourism, and trade to the development of the iconic 1.25-mile Chicago Riverwalk, the City's investments are creating thousands of good-paying jobs and making Chicago a better place to live, work, and play.Prior to becoming Mayor, from November 2008 until October 2010, Ambassador Emanuel served as President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff.

Jacqui O'Kane, DO was fulfilling the promise of Family Medicine, providing expert physician care to rural residents of Georgia.  Burned out from overwork and support staff challenges, she decided to leave hospital employment. But instead of allowing her to open her own direct primary care practice, the hospital enforced a 50-mile radius noncompete contract, limiting patient access to care. Listen in on our discussion of noncompete contracts and why some physicians are leaving employed practice in favor of self-ownership.For tips and tricks on surviving the fee-for-service world, check out my book,  How To Be a Rock Star Doctor.Docs, join our fight for physician-led care and truth and transparency among healthcare practitioners - Physicians for Patient Protection.PhysiciansForPatientProtection.org

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is recommending expansion of the Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) program, to include auditing of payments made to managed care organizations (MCOs), according to a GAO report released in June.Launched in 2011 as a consequence of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Medicaid RACs were purported to be aggressive in their recouping of alleged Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) overpayments. They could now be poised to expand into the rapidly growing MCO plans.  During the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, Dennis R. Jones, senior director of revenue cycle at Jefferson Health, will report on this developing story.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, vice president of R1 RCM, will make his Monday Rounds.The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullen, will report the latest news about auditors.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.Legislative Update: Folana Houston, assistant general counsel for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.

Highlights From Today's Episode “I think there's a big misconception that health literacy means someone's ability to read or write, and really it's much more than that. There are two basic definitions of health literacy—we have personal health literacy and organizational health literacy.” Timestamp (TS) 01:48 “The best practice is to apply this approach called health literacy universal precautions to all your encounters with any patients or family members. So just as you would use proper personal protective equipment if you were encountering body fluids, you're going to use those universal precautions as you don't know what you're dealing with—the same is true for encounters with health literacy.” TS 08:16 “There are international best practices that really advise against using family or staff for translations because they might not know the medical terminology, or you might be putting them in an uncomfortable situation. Plus, there might be cultural norms or family dynamics that affect that conversation, and they affect how the information is delivered between you, the family member, and the patient. It can really muddy the waters.” TS 18:50

Alison guides Rebecca, Monica and Liz through a discussion of another tool we have to keep religion out of government: administrative rules and regulations. The co-hosts give an overview of this body of law, and discuss how it's been used to erode the wall of separation and what we can do to roll that back.  Background Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Title IX and new proposals  Administrative Procedures Act (1946) Cases Christian Legal Society v.

Join us for this episode of The CyberPHIx podcast where we hear from Bart Layton, VP of Product for CORL Technologies, who was also a leader on the team that overhauled and secured healthcare.gov.  In this two-part conversation, we discuss Bart's insights into the deployment and security of healthcare.gov as well as his perspectives on third- and fourth-party cyber risks for healthcare organizations.  About Healthcare.gov  Healthcare.gov is the nation's federal exchange for health insurance coverage that was created from the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The initial launch of the website was fraught with challenges and was ultimately "rescued" by a large team contracted to get the site operating in tip-top shape.  About Fourth-Party Vendor Risks  Cybercriminals and nation-states have also unleashed relentless cyber-attacks on the U.S. healthcare industry and its suppliers this year. Unfortunately, cyber risk exposures have not been limited to third-party vendors, and risks to sensitive data and systems often extend across the full supply chain including fourth-party vendors and open-sourced products.  Topics covered in this session include:   What is healthcare.gov?  How and why was healthcare.gov overhauled in the early stages of its development?  Security challenges and solutions for healthcare.gov that arose during implementation  Cloud security considerations for hosted healthcare applications including healthcare.gov  What is fourth-party vendor risk and how is it impacting healthcare organizations? Examples and case studies of prominent fourth-party vendor breaches in healthcare Emerging solutions and innovations in third- and fourth-party vendor risk management New federal regulations and standards for managing supply chain risks 

Through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expansion has yielded clear improvements in insurance coverage and access to care for low-income adults younger than 65, but has Medicaid expansion also had spillover benefits for adults 65 and older? In this interview with JAMA Health Forum Editor John Ayanian, MD, MPP, and Deputy Editor Melinda Buntin, PhD, Melissa McInerney, PhD, describes how older adults with low incomes and limitations related to chronic conditions were more likely to have Medicaid coverage and recent visits with physicians in states that have expanded Medicaid for younger adults than those in nonexpansion states.

In this special episode of the 4sight Friday Roundup podcast, David Johnson, founder and CEO of 4sight Health, and Rosemarie Day, founder and CEO of Day Health Strategies, talk about how the state-based marketplaces have become the energetic new platforms for healthcare innovation around the country. Day helped launch the first state-run marketplace in Massachusetts. As usual I moderate the conversation about Rosemarie and Dave's two-part series on state-based marketplaces, “State-Based Marketplaces 2.0,” recently published on 4sighthealth.com. You can read the two-part series here. Mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, state-based marketplaces, originally called state-based health insurance exchanges, offer health insurance benefits to people who can't obtain—or can't afford—health coverage from other sources, including their employers, Medicare or Medicaid. Thought of at first as health-insurance safety nets for unemployed and self-employed people who don't qualify for government health insurance programs, state-based marketplaces have become robust petri dishes for healthcare innovation. Legacy commercial health insurers and entrepreneurial start-up health insurers are using the marketplaces to introduce and experiment with new types of health plans, health insurance benefits and care-delivery models. You can listen to this episode and all our 4sight Friday Roundup episodes on the Healthcare Now Radio Network, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts and other streaming services. You also can subscribe to our weekly 4sight Friday newsletter. Thanks for listening.

Host Craig Wilson delves into a relatively new space in health care ― accountable care organizations, or ACOs. Ushered in under a brief portion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, ACOs bring together competitors and sometimes adversaries that must trust and rely on one another to achieve effective, sustainable change in healthcare delivery. Miranda Morris, executive director of Aledade ― an ACO operating in Arkansas ― talks about how the organization functions and why the flexibility of this model makes it sustainable for the future of health care.

More than ever, healthcare and politics are intertwined. Decisions made by politicians and have a major impact on not only healthcare policy, but on the day-to-day practice of medicine by physicians.

I have written before about the constitutional problems with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, (known as ObamaCare), not to mention the Supreme Court's repeated machinations to make it appear to be legal. But recent case that the court declined to hear shows just how corrupt and untrustworthy these black robed oligarchs are.

Physicians are usually so busy taking care of patients that we sometimes ignore the political aspects of healthcare, leaving the decisions to legislators and policymakers, many of whom do not truly understand what it is like to deliver medical trenches in the trenches. Unfortunately, the old adage, “if you're not at the table, you're on the table,” is nowhere truer than in the healthcare legislative process.Today, I am joined by two experts to help us understand how physicians can be effectively involved in advocacy for our patients and for our profession.Dr. Purvi Parikh is an allergist and immunologist practicing in New York who has been involved in political advocacy since she was a medical student. She is also a fellow board member of Physicians for Patient Protection. Linda Lambert served as the executive director for the New York chapter of the American College of Physicians for over 20 years and has spent the last several years of her pseudo-retirement helping Physicians for Patient Protection build our organization.

The Wall Street Journal investigation shows some 29 million uninsured patients pay much higher prices for the same procedure at American hospitals.

On May 24, 2021, JAMA, or the Journal of the American Medical Association, published a viewpoint entitled:  “Advanced Practice Clinicians—Neurology's Underused Resource.” The article was authored by nurse practitioner Calli Cook and Dr Heidi Schwarz, a neurologist with the University of Rochester and argued that due to a shortage of neurologists across the country, non-physician practitioners should be used more widely to provide neurology care to patients. Physicians for Patient Protection submitted a letter to the editor expressing concerns about these viewpoints, however, JAMA Neurology declined to print our letter, citing space concerns and "your letter did not receive a high enough priority rating for publication."Neurologist/ psychiatrist Dr. Alyson Maloy and neurologist Dr. Carol Nelson join me to discuss the replacement of neurologists by nonphysician practitioners.Link to JAMA Neurology article: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/article-abstract/2780419Get the book! https://www.amazon.com/Patients-Risk-Practitioner-Physician-Healthcare/dp/1627343164/Join physiciansforpatientprotection.org

There are lists upon lists of hospital rankings. But there's one list you'll certaintly want your hospital to avoid.A report from Johns Hopkins University has revealed that many of America's top 100 hospitals are using predatory tactics to pursue lawsuits against patients. Highlighting this list are government hospitals as well as nonprofit health systems called out for hounding patients to collect debt for services provided.The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which survived a third challenge in the U.S. Supreme Court recently, specifically bars hospitals from engaging in this type of behavior.“(This) may be a good time to relook at your financial assistance policy and ensure you are following appropriate guidelines according to the PPACA, particularly if your institution is a nonprofit,” says Tiffany Ferguson, who will report on the story during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays. “Remember that financial assistance is applied to all emergency and medically necessary care in the hospital facility.”Other segments to be featured during the live broadcast include the following:Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will return to make his Monday Rounds with another installment of his popular segment.RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, a partner at the law firm of Practus, will file the Monitor Mondays RAC Report.Risky Business:  Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Bryon, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment, reporting on legal implications facing healthcare providers. Legislative Update: Former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) official Matthew Albright, now chief legislative affairs officer for Zelis, will report on the latest healthcare regulatory news coming out of Washington, D.C.Social Determinants of Health: Ellen Fink-Samnick, a nationally recognized expert on the social determinants of health (SDoH), will report on the latest news that's occurring at the intersection of healthcare and socioeconomics.

Existing federal law, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), requires each state to establish an American Health Benefit Exchange to facilitate the purchase of qualified health benefit plans by qualified individuals and qualified small employers. PPACA defines a “qualified health plan” as a plan that, among other requirements, provides an essential health benefits package. Existing state law creates the California Health Benefit Exchange, also known as Covered California, to facilitate the enrollment of qualified individuals and qualified small employers in qualified health plans as required under PPACA.

Two of the authors of this book are healthcare careerists with vast exposure to changes dubbed as “reform” initiated by the government, by researchers, and by healthcare professionals over the past 30 years. Some have created positive change, and some have not. This book is not about addressing the rightness or wrongness of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. It is intended to add what we believe to be a necessary lens for effective change.

Today we are talking with Gonzalo Martínez de Vedia, who is a Policy Manager with The Indivisible Project. Indivisible started as a 23-page guide on how to influence your congresspeople, written by former congressional staffers with first-hand experience of what works and what doesn't work. The guide had been downloaded over 2 million times and Indivisible now comprises nearly 6,000 local groups.
