After the midterm elections, I wrote a blog about breast cancer survivors not wanting another fight, but it looks like the fight is on. Does the new Republican-dominated House of Representatives truly not care that breast cancer survivors are threatened by insurance company decisions that limit or deny their coverage — or even eject them? I have been barraged with comments over the past few years from people newly diagnosed with breast cancer who can’t get coverage. They either can’t afford it or are denied for having a pre-existing condition. New reform is set to ensure that no one can be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition. Many people really do go without health insuranc...

(800-372-1033) http://www.bna.com Health reform is a process, not an outcome. The health care industry needs to treat Phase II of health reform—–implementation by the Executive Branch—with the same focus and zeal as they did with Phase I—deliberation and passage by the Legislative Branch. It may not be as sexy as Capitol Hill but industry participation in shaping implementation through the Executive Branch could have an even greater impact for industry efforts. Phase II is when the rubber of ‘‘the law’’ meets the road of ‘‘the real world.’’ We are one month into implementation so now is the t...

The Disruptive Women in Health Care blog encourages its readers to take part in the live video chat described below, which will take place today at 3:40 EST. The President has now laid out a path forward for health reform that  puts families and businesses in control of their own health care, reduces costs and the deficit, and incorporates new Republican ideas while still instituting fundamental protections again insurance company abuses.  He opened his remarks saying, “I want to especially recognize two people who have been working tirelessly on that — on this effort, my Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius — as well as our quarterback for health reform out of the White House, Nancy-A...

After the typical pleasantries of the evening, with the kids all squished onto the couch in the family room patiently waiting for the musical performances to begin on TV, the adults remained at the dinner table engrossed in what became an emotional and heart wrenching discussion about parental anguish and choices when their child(ren) face possible mental illness. I heard how difficult it can be to navigate the fine line between the health care and educational systems and bureaucracies. I heard stories about the information void that parents face once decisions are made to bring their (minor) child(ren) for mental health treatment and/or diagnosis. I learned about the disparate and sometimes utterly contradicto... Disruptive Women in Health Care blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2284292 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:09:00 +0100 2284292
