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

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. Back in 2007 or 2008, a marvelous guy running for state representative here in Colorado sat down and talked with me about universal health care. 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...

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.

Ave Cassandra: Soft Support for Reform

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. Soft Support for Reform. All along there were the Celinda Lakes warning that public support for healthcare reform has always been soft, and easily manipulated by fear-based campaigns. Like this, you think? 83 MILLION OF US WON'T KEEP OUR INSURANCE. It's times like this when you truly appreciate the smart analysts out there, like Paul Krugman and Ezra Klein - who quote...
