Ave Cassandra: More Docs Reject Privately Insured Patients!

http://avecassandra.blogspot.com/2011/06/more-docs-reject-privately-insured.html

Single-payer and health care justice — and what may seem to be a few distractions at times but in fact aren't. Because it's all connected. More Docs Reject Privately Insured Patients! A study expecting to find even fewer doctors willing to accept new Medicare patients found, sure enough, a modest drop in that percentage. But the shocker was a far steeper decline for doctors willing to accept privately insured patients. Dr Tara Bishop's study was in the 27 June 2011 Archives of Internal Medicine. She'...

Ave Cassandra: Ave Cassandra Is Back

http://avecassandra.blogspot.com/2011/06/ave-cassandra-is-back.html

Single-payer and health care justice — and what may seem to be a few distractions at times but in fact aren't. Because it's all connected. Ave Cassandra Is Back.

Joe Miklosi is a smart progressive who already knew that the U.S. system is fatally dysfunctional. So I was preaching to the choir. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ave Cassandra: Death as a Rorschach Test

Single-payer and health care justice — and what may seem to be a few distractions at times but in fact aren't. Because it's all connected. Death as a Rorschach Test. After a post at Slate I realize, once again, that Paul's death is a kind of Rorschach Test. Usually people who are in favor of healthcare reform get it, immediately - how the U.S. healthcare system failed him in a far bigger way than misdiagnosing his appendicitis. Physicians almost always get it immediately. He was a hard-working photograph...

Single-payer and health care justice — and what may seem to be a few distractions at times but in fact aren't. Because it's all connected. Health care rally at Denver capitol. The AP had interesting coverage of the rally today. Dozens rally for health care at state Capitol. Associated Press - March 3, 2008 4:34 PM ET. DENVER (AP) - Health-care advocates are asking Colorado lawmakers not to wait for the federal government to find a way to insure 790,000 residents who don't have coverage. I actually haven'...

Single-payer and health care justice — and what may seem to be a few distractions at times but in fact aren't. Because it's all connected. Insurance Adds Negative Value. Ezra Klein has a nice post. Barry Keene, a businessman who is vice-president of Health Care for All Colorado, often sounds sincerely sympathetic to the plight of the insurance industry - something with which I can't quite empathize, although I understand the argument. Ezra puts it like this:. Labels: private health insurance. For America...

Single-payer and health care justice — and what may seem to be a few distractions at times but in fact aren't. Because it's all connected. How many are underinsured? Commonwealth Fund has just released a stunning report on underinsurance in the United States. "Insured But Poorly Protected: Number Up 60 Percent in 4 Years",. Finds that, "Rate of Underinsured Triples for Middle and Higher Income Families; Underinsured Go Without Needed Care and Face Medical Debt.". Here's the full text. Hike the gas tax.
