TMS, Mental Health Professionals, and Patients
Barriers must be broken down, says Dr. Kira Stein, before TMS can become widely familiar to psychiatrists and other mental health care providers. For patients, there must be easier access to facilities and more widespread health insurance coverage for the treatment.

Abstract IA10: Challenges in addressing cancer health disparities in Native American communities
Brief Overview of Demographics and Risk Factors: There are more than 760 federally and state-recognized American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) tribes in the US.1 Of those AI/ANs responding to the 2010 Census, 41% lived in the West and the majority (78%) lived in urban and rural areas or in states that do not have a federal Reservation.2 AI/ANs have daily behaviors and co-morbidities that increase their risks for cancer.

The Role of Weight Bias and Patient-Physician Communication in the Underutilization of Bariatric Surgery
A growing body of evidence supports the efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery for clinically severe obesity. Despite this empirical support, bariatric surgery remains profoundly underutilized. The reasons for underutilization are likely multifactorial, including health insurance coverage and benefits design, lack of awareness about bariatric surgery by patients, and anecdotal concerns about safety. We believe there are two other factors – the occurrence of weight stigma and bias as well as suboptimal communication between patients and providers – which also serve as barriers to greater utilization.

We begin by briefly reviewing the ACA's chief features and detailing its HIM provisions. Section two explores the policy history of exchanges, beginning with Clinton's proposals and Massachusetts' Connector and concluding by contrasting the House-passed bill with one national exchange and the Senate bill with state-based exchanges. The Senate bill became the ACA. The evolution of policy ideas about exchanges suggests three critical conditions for a successful exchange: commodific...
