Putting the ‘Care’ in Health Care

Putting the ‘Care’ in Health Care

Sadly, we have developed a system that rewards procedures over primary care. The incentives tip toward the kind of medicine that is performed with hands, tools and technology over the medicine that is practiced with eyes, ears and mind.

The Hill ignored GOP’s use of reconciliation process in forwarding claim it “was never intended to ram through major legislation”

Posted in Main Blog (All Posts) on April 2nd, 2009 4:42 am by HL

The Hill ignored GOP’s use of reconciliation process in forwarding claim it “was never intended to ram through major legislation”

In a March 31 article on Democrats’ potential implementation of the budget reconciliation process, which would allow Congress to pass “policy changes in mandatory spending (entitlements) or revenue programs (tax laws)” by a simple majority in both Houses, The Hill reported: “GOP critics of the reconciliation process have said that it was never intended to ram through major legislation.” However, The Hill did not mention that Republicans used the budget reconciliation process to pass several major Bush initiatives, as The New York Times and the blog Think Progress have noted. These initiatives include the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005.

As Media Matters for America documented, Fox News correspondent Molly Henneberg recently made the false claim that “[r]econciliation was last used in 2001 by Republicans to pass the first Bush tax cuts” — an “error” for which her colleague Bret Baier later “apologize[d].” In addition, during the March 20 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity falsely claimed that reconciliation would allow the Obama administration to pass legislation “without any Republicans even having an opportunity to vote.”

From the March 31 Hill article:

Momentum among Democrats is growing to use special budget rules to push major healthcare reform this year through the Senate with a simple majority.

Two possible members of a House-Senate conference committee, which is likely to have the final say on the rules’ use, on Tuesday refused to rule out the use of reconciliation instructions that would include an overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system in a final budget resolution.

Separately, President Obama’s nominee to lead the Health and Human Services Department told a Senate panel that using the rules remain [sic] on the table.

Using the rules could allow Democrats to enact one of their long-sought goals without the support of any Republicans. That’s because the budget resolution needs only 51 votes to pass in the Senate, not the 60 votes needed to move ahead most controversial legislation.

[…]

A House leadership aide said that reconciliation for healthcare is a goal of both the Democratic leadership as well as the White House, and will remain so until either congressional Democrats or the administration get a sense that Republicans are interested in getting on board with their overall approach to healthcare.

Democrats in the House want to avoid a repeat of the economic stimulus bill debate, which a number of Democrats complained was “held hostage” by the three Republican senators Reid needed to attract to win the 60 votes necessary to clear the bill through the Senate.

Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.), the vice chairwoman of the House Budget Committee and a possible conferee, said she would fight for reconciliation instructions that would call on committees to fund healthcare reform by September.

“We want to work with Republicans to get that done, but come the end of September, if we can’t, we know that this country, American families and our American businesses … need us to tackle this,” she told The Hill.

Even House Democrats constantly eyeing whether an eventual healthcare bill will add to the deficit were comfortable with the hard-nosed strategy.

Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.), who didn’t specify his own opinion on using reconciliation for healthcare, said it made sense to at least have it on the table.

“It’s silly to unilaterally disarm ourselves at this point,” Kind said. “I still want to see us work in a bipartisan way on healthcare. That should be our goal.”

GOP critics of the reconciliation process have said that it was never intended to ram through major legislation.


The Obama Enigma

The Obama Enigma
WASHINGTON — The great mystery of the Obama administration’s economic agenda is whether its signature marriage of boldness and caution will prove to be a Goldilocks recipe that gets things just right, or a Rube Goldberg approach of unimaginable complexity and uncertain purpose. Without question, President Obama’s tax and budget proposals are daring, and his unwavering commitment to passing health care reform this year is both honorable and gutsy.

Dodd Falls Way Behind in New Poll

Dodd Falls Way Behind in New Poll
A new Quinnipiac poll shows Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) now trailing former Rep. Rob Simmons (R-CT), 50% to 34%, in the 2010 Senate race.

In two other match ups, Dodd trails both Sam Caligiuri (R), 41% to 37%, and loses to Tom Foley (R), 43% to 35%.

Key finding: Voters disapprove 58% to 33% of the job the Democratic incumbent is doing, his lowest approval rating ever.

Said pollster Douglas Schwartz: “A 33% job approval is unheard of for a 30-year incumbent, especially a Democrat in a blue state… Dodd’s numbers among Democrats are especially devastating.”

Big Decision Ahead for Pawlenty
“The legal fight between Al Franken and Norm Coleman is headed to the desk of Gov. Tim Pawlenty — a no-win predicament for a Minnesota Republican with his eye on a White House run in 2012,” Politico reports.

If Franken’s ahead after counting the final 400 absentee ballots, Pawlenty “will have a choice: sign the election certificate that will allow Democrats to seat Franken in the Senate or play to the Republicans whose support he’d need in 2012 by withholding the certificate while Coleman challenges the election in the federal court system.”

Complicating Pawlenty’s task is the Minneapolis Star Tribune observation that few “see any chance of Coleman throwing in the towel.” He’s promise to run his appeal through the federal courts.

Jindal Doubles Down On Neo-Hooverism, Will Reject Low-Income Health Coverage In Stimulus Package

Jindal Doubles Down On Neo-Hooverism, Will Reject Low-Income Health Coverage In Stimulus Package
Last month, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) — rumored to be mulling a 2012 presidential bid — rejected $90 million in federal stimulus dollars that would have expanded the state’s unemployment insurance compensation program.

jindal21.jpgLast month, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) — rumored to be mulling a 2012 presidential bid — rejected $90 million in federal stimulus dollars that would have expanded the state’s unemployment insurance compensation program.

Yesterday, Jindal announced his next assault on the poor: rejecting the stimulus’s health care funding. Jindal, widely recognized for his health policy acumen, “plans to reject some federal health-care dollars for the poor and uninsured.” Louisiana’s Health and Hospitals Secretary Alan Levine “said accepting the new federal financing would require the state to put up matching money that it doesn’t have”:

At issue are two Medicaid programs financed with a mix of state and federal dollars: the Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA) program, which provides health coverage for people who are leaving welfare for work; and the “disproportionate share” program, which reimburses health-care providers for treating the uninsured. […]

Levine said the state plans to turn away about $9.5 million in federal money for the transitional program. Drawing down that money would have required $2.25 million in state cash, which Levine said the state can’t afford when it’s asking hospitals, nursing homes and other health-care providers to accept reimbursement cuts.

TMA allows low-income families who have lost jobs and thus have become eligible for Medicaid to maintain access to health care when they regain employment or increase their hours. The stimulus package extended the TMA program’s funding through December 2010. The disproportionate-share program aids hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of the poor and uninsured. The additional funding in the stimulus package would “benefit safety net hospitals that are facing challenges tied to the growing number of uninsured people.”

Jindal’s politically-motivated decision is extremely short-sighted, particularly while his state is facing a rising unemployment rate. As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities observed, during the recession, lower-income families are vulnerable to a lack of coverage, potentially leading to absenteeism and job loss:

These changes [from the stimulus] make it more likely that low-income families — some of whom have recently become eligible for Medicaid because of recession-related job losses — can maintain access to needed medical services when the parents in these families eventually find new jobs, increase their work hours, or switch to higher-paying employment. These changes also allow states to greatly reduce the administrative burdens associated with providing TMA coverage.

In rejecting the federal government’s assistance for Louisiana’s health care woes, Jindal appears to be trying to keep up with South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R), another presidential contender. Earlier this week, Sanford proposed cutting “$103 million from state health-care programs.”

Earlier this month, the top congressional GOP fundraising committees issued a press release announcing that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) would deliver the keynote address at their annual fundraising dinner. The groups eventually had to backtrack when Palin’s staff claimed that the governor had never made such a commitment because she was too busy with Alaska state business. However, First Read now reports that Palin is still planning to attend a Right to Life fundraiser in Indiana on April 16:

ap081202020681.jpg On April 16, Palin will be attending the Vanderburgh County Right to Life dinner in Evansville, IN, as well as a breakfast the next day for S.M.I.L.E., a nonprofit organization for people with family members who have Down syndrome. Palin’s spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, said Palin will be taking a “36-hour vacation” to attend the events in Indiana. Palin’s political action committee will pay for the travel. […]

Stapleton said Palin would not agree to political events until after April 20, when the Alaska legislative session ends. “She is focused on Alaska,” Stapleton said today. […] Stapleton could not explain why Palin would say yes to a political event in Indiana and not attend a political event in Washington.
