Health Insurance

The online whistleblower WikiLeaks is following up its massive exposé of Afghan War secrets by posting a mysterious, encrypted file called “Insurance”. The file size is huge at 1.4Gb, about a hundred times bigger than most of the other files posted. But so far no one has been able to decrypt it. It looks as though when one posts a file like that he feels under threat in some way and, therefore, if any harm comes to WikiLeak’s chief, Julian Assange, any member of the WikiLeaks team, or possibly even the site itself, the key to the file will be published on the website of the project and it will reveal some sort of huge secret.

Comparison of the health care systems in Canada and the United States are often made by government, public health and public policy analysts. The two countries had similar health care systems before Canada reformed its system in the 1960s and 1970s. The United States spends much more money on health care than Canada, on both a per-capita basis and as a percentage of GDP. In 2006, per-capita spending for health care in Canada was US$3,678; in the U.S., US$6,714. The U.S. spent 15.3% of GDP on health care in that year; Canada spent 10.0%. In 2006, 70% of health care spending in Canada was financed by government, versus 46% in the United States. Total government spending per capita in the U.S. on health care was 23% higher than Canadian government spending, and U.S. government expenditure on health care was just under 83% of total Canadian spending (public and private).

Studies have come to different conclusions about the result of this disparity in spending. A 2007 review of all studies comparing health outcomes in Canada and the US in a Canadian peer-reviewed medical journal found that “health outcomes may be superior in patients cared for in Canada versus the United States, but differences are not consistent.” Life expectancy is longer in Canada, and its infant mortality rate is lower than that of the U.S., but there is debate about the underlying causes of these differences. One commonly-cited comparison, the 2000 World Health Organization’s ratings of “overall health service performance”, which used a “composite measure of achievement in the level of health, the distribution of health, the level of responsiveness and fairness of financial contribution”, ranked Canada 30th and the U.S. 37th among 191 member nations. This study rated the US “responsiveness”, or quality of service for individuals receiving treatment, as 1st, compared with 7th for Canada. However, the average life expectancy for Canadians was 80.34 years compared with 78.6 years for residents of the U.S.

The WHO’s study methods were criticized by some analyses. Some argue that Canada has had higher mortality rates for some conditions, such as heart disease, owing to the use of particular medications. Although there is a measure of consensus that life-expectancy and infant mortality mark the most reliable ways to compare nation-wide health care, a recent report by the Congressional Research Service carefully summarizes some recent data and notes the “difficult research issues” facing international comparisons.

The health care system in Canada is funded by a mix of public (70%) and private (30%) funding, with most services delivered by private (both for-profit and not-for-profit) providers.

Through all entities in its public-private system, the U.S. spends more per capita than any other nation in the world, but is the only wealthy industrialized country in the world that lacks some form of universal health care. In March of 2010, the US Congress passed regulatory reform of the American health insurance system. However since this legislation is not fundamental health care reform, it is unclear what its effect will be and as the new legislation is implemented in stages, with the last provision in effect in 2018, it will be some years before any empirical evaluation of the full effects on the comparison could be determined.

Health care costs in both countries are rising faster than inflation. As both countries consider changes to their systems, there is debate over whether resources should be added to the public or private sector. Although Canadians and Americans have each looked to the other for ways to improve their respective health care systems, there exists a substantial amount of conflicting information regarding the relative merits of the two systems. In Canada, the United States is used as a model and as a warning against increasing private sector involvement in financing health care. In the U.S., meanwhile, Canada’s mostly monopsonistic health system is seen by different sides of the ideological spectrum as either a model to be followed or avoided.

Congressman Ike Skelton speaks on the House floor regarding H.R. 4887, a bill that would explicitly state in law that TRICARE and the DOD nonappropriated fund (NAF) health plans are protected from any health reforms currently under consideration by Congress for individual health insurance.

TRICARE and the DOD nonappropriated fund (NAF) provide health coverage to members of the military and their families, military retirees and their families, and employees of U.S. military post/base exchanges and other nonappropriated fund activities.

Rep. Shadegg: Obama Misleads on Healthcare

http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/shadegg_obama_healthcare/2009/07/29/241493.html

In fact, Shadegg says the House bill inserts the federal government and federal bureaucrats in virtually every healthcare decision in America. And, under the clear terms of the bill, you will not be able to keep your current plan, whether you like it or not.

Shadegg sees the House bill as a massive takeover of every aspect of healthcare. The legislation empowers bureaucrats to make virtually every decision, he says. It creates a new healthcare advisory commission, a new healthcare benefits board. It creates a new commissioner who would have powers just short of the powers of the president.

It dictates what must be contained in every policy in America, down to what they must cover, what appeals process it must have, all the way down to how insurance firms must advertise in a manner acceptable to the federal government. It is a massive federal government takeover where bureaucrats and the government will be involved in every healthcare decision.

Here is a link to one of the versions of the bill:

http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001xml.pdf

Here is the passage on page 17 which states that an employer will have a 5 years grace period to switch to a plan that follows Federal mandates:
8 (b) GRACE PERIOD FOR CURRENT EMPLOYMENT
9 BASED HEALTH PLANS.—
10 (1) GRACE PERIOD.—
11 (A) IN GENERAL.—The Commissioner
12 shall establish a grace period whereby, for plan
13 years beginning after the end of the 5-year pe
14 riod beginning with Y1, an employment-based
15 health plan in operation as of the day before
16 the first day of Y1 must meet the same require
17 ments as apply to a qualified health benefits
18 plan under section 101, including the essential
19 benefit package requirement under section 121.

Congressman Shadegg on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom

http://johnshadegg.house.gov/Multimedia/?MediaID=1392

Rep. John Shadegg was on Fox this morning and the said that the sub committee on health that he is on is passing wording in the bill the says, “you can’t keep you health care if you like it”

Shadegg was on Fox to talk about money to fund abortion in the health care bill, but released a whole lot more information that you won’t hear on the propaganda media stations. Rep. Shadegg did say that money to fund abortion was in the bill, and that those that voted for this would be in trouble come election time for that vote.

The bill in this Sub Committee is worded, according to Shadegg, in a way that forces people, who like their healthcare, to change over to the government plan, which contradicts the Obama statement, “if you like it you can keep it”. The Shadegg statement proves once again that our President and the Dems are a bunch of liars. We have all heard reports this week, that the far left wackos are putting a full court press on democratic members to go as far left on this bill as possilbe. By far left Im guessing they mean, totally government controlled.

Shadegg went on to say that the GOP offered up a number of ammendments to change the wording in the bill, and to stop funding of abortion, but the democrats blocked every attempt. He also stated that Pelosi is ramming this bill through with little to no, debate or discussion, at all.

So if you see a democrat or the President on tv saying that with this Bill you can keep the plan if you like it, its a lie according to Republicans who are working on this bill. Doesn’t that seem odd to any of you, that the President is so dead set on advancing abortion in this country, that he is willing to have an already risky bill, include us paying for abortion? Like I said before the devil is not in the details, it is in the oval office.

U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman highlights some components of legislation passed by the Senate this week that contains, among other things, a one-year extension of unemployment insurance benefits and COBRA (health care). This help New Mexicans struggling to find work in this difficult economy.

Bingaman also speaks of his appointment to the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), where he will have the opportunity to advocate for New Mexicos defense and defense-related activities. Bingaman served on the committee earlier in his Senate career, and was re-appointed in order to maintain committee balance after newly-elected Senator Scott Brown sought appointment on the SASC.
