The Future of the Affordable Care Act: Unscathed by Attacks from the Right, Overtaken on its Left?
By ETIENNE DEFFARGES
Having survived years of attacks from Republicans at the federal level, will the surviving ACA be rendered obsolete by Democrats’ local and state efforts towards universal health care? This could be an ironic twist of fate for Obamacare. Conceived out of the conservative Heritage Foundation’s ideas and an early experiment in Massachusetts under a Republican governor, President Obama’s signature legislative achievement could very well survive its most recent judiciary challenge. But over time the ACA is susceptible to obsolescence, because of the many universal health care solutions being pushed...

They speak candidly about the problems faced with regard to parity by those who live with mental health or addiction issues. And finally, they talk about how anyone can become an advocate.

Is this cost-saving Medicare proposal doomed?
The Trump administration has proposed that insurance plans providing drug coverage to Medicare beneficiaries will no longer be forced to cover six hitherto“protected” drug classes. The classes — which include drugs for psychiatric conditions, cancer and immune diseases –– are among the priciest of all drugs and account for as much as 33 percent […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Free Markets to Combat Climate Change
One of the concerns about climate change is that it may generate more natural disasters such as hurricanes and forest fires. People living along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts or in forested areas of California may face higher risks if pessimistic climate predictions come true.That is disagreement about large-scale policy actions we might take to try and reduce future climate risks. Washington State voters, for example,soundly rejected a carbon tax on the ballot in 2018. People are skeptical of big government solutions to climate change.There are, however, many pro-market reforms we can take to reduce the risks to life and p...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 17th 2018
In this study, we found that TNF-α resulted in an impairment of autophagic flux in microglia. Concomitantly, an increase of M1 marker expression and reduction of M2 marker expression were observed in TNF-α challenged microglia. Upregulation of autophagy via serum deprivation or pharmacologic activators (rapamycin and resveratrol) promoted microglia polarization toward M2 phenotype, as evidenced by suppressed M1 and elevated M2 gene expression, while inhibition of autophagy with 3-MA or Atg5 siRNA consistently aggravated the M1 polarization induced by TNF-α.
Moreover, Atg5 knockdown alone was sufficient to trigger...

Callous Ideologues: Illinois Legislators Pass Law to Punish Patients with Preexisting Conditions
The Illinois legislature has enacted a law, over the veto of Gov. Bruce Rauner (R), that will strip consumer protections from patients with preexisting conditions, throw them out of their health plans, deny them health care, and expose them to bankruptcy. Naturally, it did so in the name of…helping patients with preexisting conditions. The new law imposes limits on so-called “short-term” health plans. Federal law exempts short-term plans from ObamaCare’scostly andpunitive health insurance regulations. As a result, short-term plans allow enrollees to purchase only the coverage they value, frequently cost half as ...
