  1. The HHS preventive care provisions is based in value-based insurance design. That is that high value services like cancer screenings, immunizations, family planning, cholesterol and hypertension screenings, etc, services that prevent more costly trea...
  2. I don't see name calling or emotional appeals, just rebuttals using facts. So you object to the 8 states that don't allow churches to be exempt, but what about the 28 states that don't exempt religious affiliated institutions that operate primarily ...
  3. Health care a right or privilege

    Government run insurance spends ~6% on administrative overhead, while private insurance spends ~20-30% in administrative overhead. Medicare Advantage (private) costs 14% more than traditional Medicare (public). Now which is more efficient, public o...
  4. Forced ultrasounds

    Eh, women have been oppressing other women about as long men have been oppressing other men.
  5. this is not at all accurate, 28 states already mandate contraceptive coverage by employer sponsored health plans. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/tgr/07/2/gr070206.pdf ^^this is from 2004, since then 8 more states mandated contraceptive coverage to ...
  6. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    i think this is a simple assertion. healthcare (emergency, preventive, specialty, etc) is typically accessed through health insurance in the us. do you think that people should receive health care regardless of their ability to pay? you can certainl...
  7. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    Under the PPACA if you make under 133% of the FPL you qualify for Medicaid. Those with incomes between 133%-400$ of the FPL receive a subsidy (on sliding scale according to income) to purchase health insurance in the exchanges. http://www.kff.org/hea...
  8. Problem facing healthcare

    Typoagain, I'm not necessarily disputing what you're saying, but can you provide a citation about Medicare reimbursement rates being influenced by patient satisfaction surveys?
  9. Forced ultrasounds

    Despicable legislation. VA's mandatory ultrasound is now set up to performed 24 hours before the procedure. So much for small government and reduced spending. The clinician and the patient should be determining care, not some zealot legislator tryin...
  10. Vent about healthcare

    Come August 2012 no co-pays for preventive care via the PPACA! I believe, this includes, cancer screenings, immunizations, flu-shots, contraception, etc. http://www.kff.org/healthreform/upload/8219.pdf Hurray!
  11. Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    My school offers them separate. Anatomy and Chemistry are both prerequisites for Physiology. Anatomy and Physiology were each, 4 units with a lab. Chemistry 5 units with a lab. Worked well for me!
  12. A little disappointed in how vague it is. Particularly compared to some of the other health science programs updated admission requirements. Like, some of the allied health FAQ's mention formal group interviews, narrative essays describing health ca...
  13. Oh man, I was hoping they would post a point break down of criteria used to rate applicants. Anyway, good luck on your exam!
  14. oh man! A broken link?! After all this build-up? Boo! Hmm, maybe I should muster up some initiative and call... ETA Okay, gave them a call, they said it should be up by the end of the day
  15. I guess, (even though I don't want to admit it), I unconsciously hoped to have some kind of guarantee to fall back on, by having a place on SLCC's waitlist. Though, when I look outside myself and my insecurities, doing away with the waitlist is bette...
