Vermont Makes History, Passes Universal Health Care

Vermont Makes History, Passes Universal Health Care
President Obama’s attempt to reform health care took a massive amount of time and energy, while achieving little. But, as Vermont just showed, there is another way to go about revamping America’s corrupt medical system: state by state. —YL VTDigger: In a historic vote on Tuesday, the Vermont Legislature created the enabling legislation for a first-in-the-nation universal health care system. The state Senate approved the visionary plan for a single-payer system in a 21-9 vote after four hours of debate. The split was largely along party lines. Gov. Peter Shumlin, a Democrat, campaigned on a promise to create a single-payer system in Vermont that would contain health care costs and give all of the state’s residents universal access to medical care. On Tuesday, Shumlin made good on the first step toward fulfilling that promise, and just five hours after the Senate vote, he marked the legislative victory in an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.” Shumlin said in a statement to the Vermont press: “Today the Legislature took a huge step toward making Vermont the first state in the first in the nation to control skyrocketing health care costs and remove the burden of providing health care coverage from small business owners. This bill is good for Vermonters and Vermont businesses.` Read more

Fox Falsely Claims IN Anti-Planned Parenthood Bill Is About Ending “Government Funding For Abortion”

Posted in Main Blog (All Posts) on May 1st, 2011 4:40 am by HL

Fox Falsely Claims IN Anti-Planned Parenthood Bill Is About Ending “Government Funding For Abortion”

Fox & Friends Saturday recently claimed that Republican Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels will sign a bill that “strip[s] Planned Parenthood of government funding for abortions.” In fact, Indiana and federal law already prohibit federal Medicaid funds from paying for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or a threat to the life of a pregnant woman, and the bill will actually cut off government funding for Planned Parenthood of Indiana (PPIN) to provide basic women’s health and birth control services.

Fox & Friends Saturday Falsely Claims Daniels Will Sign Bill “Stripping Planned Parenthood Of Government Funding For Abortions”

Huddy: “Daniels … Plans To Sign Legislation Stripping Planned Parenthood Of Government Funding For Abortions.” On the April 30 edition of Fox News’ Fox & Friends Saturday, guest host Juliet Huddy claimed Daniels will be making “an unprecedented move on abortion rights” by signing “legislation stripping Planned Parenthood of government funding for abortions.” Huddy added, “He says women’s health and family planning services will still be available.”

On-screen text during the segment claimed:

 [Fox & Friends Saturday, Fox News, 4/30/11]

Bill Actually Ends All Medicaid Funding For Planned Parenthood in Indiana

WaPo: “Daniels … Plans To Sign Legislation That Would Prevent Planned Parenthood In The State From Receiving Medicaid Funds … Indiana Will Be The First State To Take That Step.” From an April 29 article in The Washington Post:

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) announced Friday that he plans to sign legislation that would prevent Planned Parenthood in the state from receiving Medicaid funds. When he does, Indiana will be the first state to take that step. [The Washington Post, 4/29/11]

Politico: “The Bill … Would Bar The State From Entering Into Contracts With Abortion Providers.” Politico stated in an April 27 article that “[t]he bill, which passed the Indiana State House late Wednesday afternoon, would bar the state from entering into contracts with abortion providers, making an exception for hospitals and ambulatory centers.” [Politico, 4/27/11]

IN Bill States State Agencies “May Not” Contract With Or Provide Grants To “Any Entity That Performs Abortions.” From Indiana House Enrolled Act No. 1210:

(a) This section does not apply to hospitals licensed under IC 16-21-2 or ambulatory surgical centers licensed under IC 16-21-2.

(b) An agency of the state may not:

(1) enter into a contract with; or

(2) make a grant to;

any entity that performs abortions or maintains or operates a facility where abortions are performed that involves the expenditure of state funds or federal funds administered by the state.

(c) Any appropriation by the state:

(1) in a budget bill;

(2) under IC 5-19-1-3.5; or

(3) in any other law of the state;

to pay for a contract with or grant made to any entity that performs abortions or maintains or operates a facility where abortions are performed is canceled, and the money appropriated is not available for payment of any contract with or grant made to the entity that performs abortions or maintains or operates a

facility where abortions are performed.

(d) For any contract with or grant made to an entity that performs abortions or maintains or operates a facility where abortions are performed covered under subsection (b), the budget agency shall make a determination that funds are not available, and the contract or grant shall be terminated under section 5 of this chapter. [Indiana House Enrolled Act 1210, accessed 4/30/11]

Laws Already Prohibit Federal And State Funds From Paying For Almost All Abortions

NY Times: “Federal Law Prohibits Medicaid Money From Being Used To Pay For Abortions Except In Cases Of Rape, A Threat To The Life Of A Mother Or Incest.” From The New York Times:

Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana said Friday that he would sign a bill cutting off Medicaid financing for Planned Parenthood, a move that lawmakers in several states have begun pondering as a new approach in the battle over abortion. Indiana becomes the first state to go forward.

[…]

“Any organization affected by this provision can resume receiving taxpayer dollars immediately by ceasing or separating its operations that perform abortions,” Mr. Daniels said in a statement.

Federal law prohibits Medicaid money from being used to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, a threat to the life of a mother or incest. Planned Parenthood says Medicaid dollars go toward paying for items like annual exams, birth control and breast cancer screening. [The New York Times, 4/29/11]

Kaiser Family Fund: Indiana Already Prohibits State Funds From Being Used To Cover Abortions Beyond Those “Involving Life Endangerment, Rape, And Incest” According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), as of August 1, 2010, Indiana was one of 32 states that follows the federal standard for using state taxes to fund abortion, meaning that it funded abortion only in  “cases involving life endangerment, rape and incest.” KFF explained that “[s]tates can use their own funds to cover other medically necessary abortions — usually defined by states as those to protect the physical or mental health of the woman — for Medicaid recipients.”  Indiana was listed as forbidding state funds from being used for such “other medically necessary abortions.” [Kaiser Family Foundation, accessed 4/30/11]

New Bill Could Harm Women’s Health And Family Planning Services

Wash. Post: “Indiana Could Lose $4 Million In Federal Family Planning Funds As A Result Of Its Legislation.” From The Washington Post:

Medicaid is jointly funded by federal and state governments, and state governments distribute the money. Federal law prohibits states from deciding which organizations receive Medicaid funding for any reason other than quality of care. Indiana could lose $4 million in federal family planning funds as a result of its legislation. [The Washington Post, 4/29/11]

Wash. Post: “Half Of All Births In [Indiana] Are Covered By Medicaid.” The Washington Post’s The Fix blog reported: “[F]amily planning in Indiana is a fiscal as well as a social issue. Half of all births in the state are covered by Medicaid.” [The Washington Post, 4/26/11]

PPIN: Bill Would Take Away “$3 Million … PPIN Receives To Provide Basic, Preventative Health Services” Including Pap Tests, Birth Control, STD Screenings. From a February 7, 2011, press release from PPIN:

The intent of these bills is to take away the approximately $3 million dollars in federal grant dollars and Medicaid reimbursements that PPIN receives to provide basic, preventive health services from Pap tests to birth control to screenings and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) for almost 22,000 women. Not one dime is used to pay for abortions here in Indiana. Not a dime. [Planned Parenthood of Indiana, 2/7/11]

PPIN: “Federal Grant Funds Are Used At Eight Sites In High-Need Underserved Areas … It Would Be Difficult, If Not Impossible, To Find Other Providers Willing To Take On These Areas.” From the February 2011 PPIN press release:

PPIN has 28 health centers statewide. Federal grant funds are used at eight sites in high-need underserved areas in northwestern and rural southern Indiana. Those centers are located in Gary, East Chicago, Michigan City, Elkhart, Bedford, Seymour, Scottsburg and New Albany. These centers operate at a net loss of more than $90,000. PPIN makes up the difference through private fundraising. Serving the underserved is not a profit-making venture. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to find other providers willing to take this on in those areas.   PPIN is a mission-based organization, committed to providing quality, affordable and PREVENTIVE health care. [Planned Parenthood of Indiana, 2/7/11, emphasis original]

Right-Wing Media Advanced Similar Falsehood About Federal Bill To Defund Planned Parenthood

Right-Wing Media Falsely Suggested Congressional Republicans Were Trying To Stop Federal Funding For Abortion When They Pushed To Defund Planned Parenthood. During the recent federal budget stand-off between Republicans and President Obama, the right wing-media falsely suggested that House Republicans wanted to end funding to Planned Parenthood because the federal funding is used to “provide abortions.” However, these reports failed to note that Planned Parenthood does not and cannot use federal funds to pay for its clinics’ abortion services.

Three Ways To Save Medicare Paul Ryan Doesn?t Want You To Know About

Three Ways To Save Medicare Paul Ryan Doesn?t Want You To Know About

Across the country, Main Street Americans are speaking out against a GOP budget plan that would effectively end Medicare.

In taking aim at Medicare, these conservative members of Congress are claiming that they are actually “saving Medicare” from financial ruin and that there is no possible choice other than to privatize the program and throw seniors to the insurance industry. They say this to justify a plan that the Congressional Budget Office says would have the elderly spending the majority of their income on health care.

Yet what Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) — the architect of the plan to end Medicare — and other right-wingers don’t want you to know is that there are actually numerous way to shore up the fiscal solvency of Medicare that wouldn’t involve such a dangerous privatization scheme.

ThinkProgress has assembled three different policy options that, if enacted, could help Medicare’s future financial issues and save the taxpayer billions of dollars:

1. Empower Medicare To Negotiate For Lower Drug Prices: One policy option that would be very simple to enact and would not require any sort of increased spending or expansion of government would be to simply allow Medicare to use its bulk purchasing power to negotiate with drugmakers for lower prices. The program is currently banned from doing so, thanks to the clout of the drug industry. Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) estimates that doing this could save as much as $156 billion over 10 years.

2. Allow Drug Reimportation From Canada: One of the major costs in the U.S. health care system that drives up the costs not only in the private sector but also among Medicare are the costs of prescription drugs. One very easy was to greatly relieve this cost is to eliminate protectionist barriers and allow the free importation of prescription drugs from our neighbors like Canada. A failed measure proposed by Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and John McCain (R-AZ) to do exactly that in 2009 estimated that doing so would save consumers $80 billion over ten years.

3. Globalize Medicare: Another protectionist barrier and detriment to free trade in the U.S. health care system is that seniors currently aren’t allowed to use their Medicare insurance system outside of the United States. An alternative to this would be to drop these trade barriers and allow seniors on Medicare to seek care abroad, where services are much cheaper. Economist Dean Baker estimates that if fifty percent of Medicare beneficiaries opted for this globalized option, then taxpayers would save more than $40 billion a year by 2020. President Obama Rep. Rehberg, Whose Net Worth Is $31 Million, Says He?s ?Cash Poor? And ?Struggling?

As ThinkProgress has been reporting, conservative members of Congress are facing a backlash across the country as Main Street Americans, outraged by a GOP budget that effectively ends Medicare, speak out.

At a town hall earlier this week in Montana, Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT) began comparing the plight of every day middle class Americans like those at his town hall with his own economic circumstance. He droned on about how he’s ‘struggling’ as a small businessman. A constituent asked him what his own net worth is and he said he’s “land rich and cash poor”:

REHBERG: I’m a small businessman. My wife is a small businessman. She hasn’t taken a salary in ten years as a result of business. We’re struggling like everyone else. With the ecnoomy.

CONSTITUENT: What’s your salary?

REHBERG: I’m land-rich and cash-poor. Like ranchers and farmers and small businessmen throughout Montana. […]

Watch it, via MontanaDemocrats:

While Rehberg calls himself poor and complains that he’s struggling, the fact is that he is, as of 2009 records, the 14th richest member of the House of Representatives. Opensecrets.org estimates that his average net worth in 2009 was $31 million. If he’s struggling on that, one has to wonder if he’s really a good arbiter of what’s fair for Main Street America.
