Editor's Notes
- #2 Hello everyone. My name is Dr Sandra Koch, I’m on obgyn and I’ve been delivering babies in Northern Nevada for over 20 years. Tonight though I’m here to deliver my views on the ACA I want to Thank Dr Pintar and the Sierra Nevada Forum for inviting me to talk tonight about the affordable care act. It’s quite a task trying to summarize 2700 pages in 15 minutes – I know DrPintar thinks I talk fast- but this is really going to be a challenge.
- #3 America has the most expensive healthcare in the world and yet we rank only 37th in the quality of the healthcare we provide, right behind Slovenia! Too many Americans aren’t covered by health insurance, there are too many medical errors, too much inefficiency and it costs too much.
- #4 The red line shows the growth in the percent of GDP that represents our expenditures on health care. The cost is Bankrupting our nation. It’s also bankrupting many of us.
- #5 Health care costs are the number 1 reason for bankruptcy in our community.
- #6 The map on the left side represents the percent of uninsured women in the United States ages 19-64. The dark blue represents states where 1 in 4 women are with out insurance, the light blue 1 in 5 and the purple 1 in 8. the map on the right side shows the changes we’ll see when the ACA is fully implemented. Being without insurance is dangerous for your health.
- #7 If youre unlucky enough to get really sick, not having health insurance reduces your chance of survival. So how many uninsured do we have?
- #8 By 2019 we would have had @ 57 million uninsured.
- #9 With the ACA there will be 34 million less uninsured by 2019
- #11 I like this quote from the flight of the buffalo. Many folks are scared about the changes coming, afraid they will lose coverage or be refused treatment based on age. A show of hands please from anyone who has received an email like this one.
- #12 This particular email has been the subject of debunking and fact checking by multiple sites .Virtually every statement is exaggerated, misleading, inaccurate or just plain wrong. I would ask all of you to identify a fact checking website and use it whenever you receive information that just doesn’t seem quite right. Here are two that I recommend.
- #13 So lets look at some of the beneficial changes.
- #14 No preexisting condition I”ve seen many cases where woman had a single abnormal pap test leading to exclusion of the entire reproductive system for life. That won’t happen any moreWomen have been paying up to twice as much for individual health care plans. Under the ACA that won’t happen any moreI’ve seem many women over the years that sign up for insurance that have a 9 month exclusion and if they got pregnant during that 9 months – no coverage. That won’t happen any more.Many folks with serious health condition, for example transplant patients, run through their lifetime limits on insurance expenditures and get dropped. That won’t happen anymore.Young people when they finish their educations have had very high rates of being uninsured. IF they get sick or more likely injured their health care and sometimes their futures are compromised. Requiring insurance companies to allow parents to insure their children until age 26 has dropped the number of uninsured in this age group. Another area of major change is in preventative health care coverage. In an effort to encourage folks to take advantage of life saving services the ACA has mandated coverage of many services.
- #15 Formedicare patients there will be No more Part B deductibles or copayments if your doctor acceptsassignmen for these services.The four most important things you can do to improve or prolong your health are control your BP, don’t smoke, control your weight and get get vaccinated. These are all covered under the preventative services listed above
- #16 A busy slide listing services for those too young for medicare- please notice all the vaccines covered with no co-pay.
- #17 For women the biggest changes are first dollar coverage for pregnancy and for contraception. Everyone understands the importance of prenatal care. I want to emphasize the importance of the contraception coverage. Nevada has one of the highest rates of unplanned pregnancy in the US. About one in three unplanned pregnancies is also an unwanted pregnancy. It’s clear that Unintended and unwanted pregnancies are bad for babies, mothers and our society. The ACA by mandating this coverage is going to significantly impact these pregnancies. IN addition. For every dollar we spend as a nation on contraception we SAVE three dollars the first year and thirty dollars over the next ten years.
- #18 The last list of preventative service sis for the children- as you can see- many services are covered. The next topic I want to review is medicare coverage of medications.
- #19 Has anyone heard of the donut hole? Until the ACA anyone who’s medication costs exceeded $2900 ended up in the donut hole. This meant- no assistance in paying for an individual’s medications until they’re personal outlay for medications had exceeded almost $5000. The ACA addressed this immediately.
- #20 Theamount of money you will have to pay for prescription medications within the donut hole will be reduced each year until 2020 when Medicare will pay for ¾ of your medication expenses. .
- #21 Many folks are wondering who’s going to see the 34 million newly insured Americans. AS some of you know from first hand experience- Already it is hard to find a physician willing to accept you as a new patient if you have medicaid or medicare in our community. This is not going to get better right away. We need many more providers- both physicians and midlevel providers. Ideally everyone will eventually have a medical “HOME” but until that time ERs will continue to see many of these folks. Urgent cares will also be heavily utilized. Carson Tahoe has free standing urgent care centers in Dayton and Carson city as well as one in all three Walmarts. Carson Medical Group has an urgent care for established patients also.
- #22 Standardization to reduce error -improve efficiencyIncrease transparency so that patients and their families are better aware of their treatment options including effectiveness of therapies and costs. Improve communication between health care providers to increase care coordination and decrease overlapActively promote best practices for prevention and treatment of the leading causes of death through mandates and dat analysisInvolve communities by promoting best practices for healthy living.
- #23 To get this accomplished we need computers. Healthcare at 18% of the GDP until recently has largely been run as a cottage industry. To move that volume to a computerized system is an enormous undertaking. First step is to move computers into the health care arena. To help this along CMS introduced a program called
- #24 The goal is to institute quality measure reporting using the Electronic Health Record for “Meaningful Use”Participation is mandatory for all health care providersPhysicians who participated got 1% bonus payments in 2011. to help with the costsPQRI bonuses fall to 0.5% in 2012 to 2014. Physicians will receive penalties in 2015 if they don’t participate.
- #25 Have you noticed that you’ve been filling out a lot more paper work at your doctors office? These are some of the first measures CMS has asked to have reported.
- #27 Carson Tahoe hospital has a computer system and it slowly working its’ way to fully utilizing it. On labor and delivery all our orders are computerized and all the nurses charting is. Here’s a problem though- one that’s even worse in the ORs and ICUs WE have lots of machines that do things for us but they don’t communicate. Therefore nurses and doctors are spending an inordinate amount of time transcribing data. Example BP and fetal monitoring on OB
- #28 Cost containment For patients- making cost more transparent- the idea that Computer generated data should steer healthcare. For providersIN theory best practices will be identified and implemented using EMR. The most effective and cost efficient treatment approaches will be sought. Using computers Health care centers will be linked to avoid duplication.Additionally finding ways to stop paying for procedures and instead pay for health outcomes. No one fully understands the implications of the ACA. The regulations for many parts of the ACA have yet to be written. Will it increase costs for private health insurance- yes because it mandates what must be covered. Is it perfect- NO will it change – yes. It was a first step in moving our country to a system that will cover most of our uninsured and may help us control our health costs through increasing standardization while mprovingthe quality of our health care.
- #29 For those of you who can’t read this it saysMay I be excused? My brain is full. I’m sure many of you feel this way – it’s a lot to take in.
- #30 I’ll leave you with one final comment- you might as well Embrace the Change – because There’s no going back!Thank you
