The Affordable Care Act and Us
This document summarizes a presentation about ongoing misunderstandings around the Affordable Care Act. It finds that years after implementation, many Americans are still confused about key aspects of the law. It then provides a quiz to test knowledge and dispel common myths. Finally, it discusses how political rhetoric contributed to the spread of misinformation but that the law's complexity also played a role in ongoing uncertainties and adjustments.
Reform Repercussions on North Dakota Health Care
Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) has several concerns about a potential public option in health reform legislation:
1) A public option paying Medicare rates would be devastating for North Dakota hospitals and providers since Medicare reimbursement rates in the state are already among the lowest in the country.
2) While a public option with negotiated rates claims to negotiate with providers, BCBSND doubts how much influence small North Dakota providers would have given the size of the public option.
3) Proposed mechanisms for states to "opt out" of a public option or trigger one are unclear and may not actually give states meaningful control.
Serious misgivings medicaid expansion and house bill 148
House Bill 148 proposes expanding Medicaid in Alaska, but Rep. Liz Vazquez has serious misgivings. If passed, the bill would cost an uncertain amount due to unreliable enrollment projections. It could drain hundreds of millions from Alaska's $3.5 billion budget deficit. There are concerns that promised federal funding may not continue as expected, existing Medicaid groups could face cuts, and the expansion may increase emergency room usage contrary to goals.
Are You Confused About ObamaCare?
The document provides a summary of 10 key things to know about the upcoming health insurance marketplace and enrollment under the Affordable Care Act. It explains that nearly all Americans will be required to have health insurance starting in 2014 or pay a penalty. It outlines who is exempt from the mandate and details the financial assistance available for purchasing plans. It also provides information on pre-existing conditions, what income levels qualify for subsidies, and recommends preparing financially and gathering documents needed for enrollment.

What The Affordable Care Act -Obama Care - Means for Individuals and Business...Advanced Knowledge Resources
The document provides information about the Affordable Care Act and what it means for individuals and businesses in 2014. Some of the key provisions taking effect in 2014 include:
- Individuals are required to have health insurance or pay a penalty. Subsidies will be available to help purchase insurance through state exchanges.
- Businesses with 50+ employees must offer affordable health insurance or pay penalties. Small businesses can receive tax credits for offering employee coverage.
- State-run insurance exchanges will offer individual and small group policies, and tax credits will help make premiums affordable for many. Essential health benefits must be covered.Talking Point Solutions
The document outlines 7 talking points related to addressing issues in the US mortgage and banking systems:
1. Consolidating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into a new agency called Feddie while reducing staffing.
2. Establishing a 4% 30-year fixed rate mortgage backed by the US for primary homes up to $1M.
3. Consolidating all banking regulatory agencies into the FDIC.
4. Analyzing healthcare costs using a new methodology to identify cost variances and ways to reduce expenditures.
5. Achieving a federal budget surplus within 3 years by stimulating the economy and reducing healthcare and defense costs.

Health care reform for children and families
The document summarizes key components of health care reform in New York State. It discusses how the reform will affect those with and without current health insurance. Those with insurance will see new protections around lifetime/annual limits and preventive care coverage. Those without insurance will gain eligibility for Medicaid expansion or subsidies to purchase insurance through the new health insurance Exchange. The reform establishes new regulations for insurance companies and more funding for public health programs to increase coverage of New Yorkers. Full implementation will require ongoing outreach and for New York to establish the Exchange in accordance with federal guidelines.

Healthcare Implementation Timeline Medicaid Provisions
This document outlines the key provisions and timelines for implementing aspects of healthcare reform related to Medicaid between 2010-2014 and beyond:
- Beginning in 2010, states could expand Medicaid eligibility to 133% of the federal poverty level and receive their current federal matching rate. CHIP eligibility levels must be maintained through 2019.
- Several new pilot programs and options are established beginning in 2011-2014, including health homes for those with chronic conditions, community-based services, and accountable care organizations for children.
- Preventive services must be covered with no cost sharing and Medicaid payment rates for primary care physicians must be increased to Medicare levels in 2013-2014.
- Medicaid eligibility will expand to 133% of poverty
Federal health care reform
Federal health care reform bans discrimination against those with pre-existing conditions, allows young adults to stay on their parents' insurance until age 26, and prohibits lifetime or annual limits on coverage. The Patient's Bill of Rights guarantees the choice of doctors in network, bans higher costs for emergency care outside the network, and gives patients the right to appeal insurance decisions. Preventive care like mammograms and immunizations must be covered with no out-of-pocket costs. New York already prohibits refusing insurance due to pre-existing conditions and allows dependent children to stay on parents' plans until age 29. Emergency services cannot have higher costs out of network, and well-child visits and immunizations are covered for children through age 19 without cost
Sbar
The document discusses whether the number of remaining uninsured people in the US, particularly undocumented immigrants, will impact the cost savings expected from the Affordable Care Act. It notes that while the ACA is projected to insure millions more and reduce the federal deficit by $109 billion over 10 years, hospitals will still bear costs from uninsured patients. Expanding coverage could further benefit the economy but insuring undocumented immigrants would be politically difficult. The recommendation is to let organizations exploring immigration reform consider healthcare implications carefully before proposing reforms.
Health Reform Bulletin 130 | Senate Releases Health Care Reform Proposal
he Senate has now made public its health care reform bill, named the “Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017”. In many ways, it tracks the House bill passed on May 4, 2017 (see the CBIZ Health Reform Bulletin 128 – House Passes the American Health Care Act, 5/5/2017).
Overview and Implications of the House Republican Bill
The House of Representatives is marking up the American Health Care Act, a bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and to reframe Medicaid financing. If final legislation passes that looks even partly like this bill, many in the health industry will be impacted.
During this webinar, we will help attendees predict the top exposures for their organizations by reviewing the effects of the bill’s provisions and possibilities of change as the legislative process unfolds.

4.13 Assisting Immigrants with HUD Programs and other Public Benefits (Rosen)National Alliance to End Homelessness
Enrolling homeless people in HUD programs and other public benefits is a major hurdle in ending homelessness – and even more so if those being enrolled are immigrants. This workshop will focus on the eligibility requirements and disqualifications for several federal programs. Speakers will also touch on the difference between federal and local limitations on access to public housing.A History of Romney on Health Care
Mitt Romney supported several health reform plans over the years that included a federal individual mandate, including a 1994 plan and the 2009 Wyden-Bennett plan. He also signed Massachusetts' 2006 health reform law that served as a model for the ACA and included an individual mandate. However, as a 2012 presidential candidate appealing to the far right, Romney promised to repeal the ACA, despite having supported similar proposals in the past.
Alabama ACA - David Lee
The document discusses the impacts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on rural America. It provides background on the National Rural Health Association and their role advocating for rural issues. It then summarizes the legal challenges to the ACA and the Supreme Court ruling in 2012 that upheld the individual mandate while limiting Medicaid expansion. The ruling determined Congress can use taxing powers to influence state programs but cannot take away all existing Medicaid funding from states that do not comply with the ACA's Medicaid provisions.
Health Reform Alert - Implementation Guidance FAQs
The ACA’s governing agencies (Labor, HHS and IRS) have issued their 18th set of implementation FAQs, further defining certain aspects of the Affordable Care Act, as well as how the law coordinates with the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA). Following are highlights of this guidance.

Re finance-8e - 3 - government influence on lending
This document discusses the various ways the US government has influenced and regulated the lending industry over time. It outlines landmark legislation from the New Deal era through the 2008 financial crisis and Dodd-Frank Act. It also describes the roles of key agencies like HUD, USDA, and the CFPB. Finally, it examines specific regulations like TILA, RESPA, and laws regarding fair lending and housing practices.
Flowchart
The document provides a cursory overview of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA):
- It establishes that PPACA is complex with over 159 new entities and will be implemented in phases over 4 years by the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury.
- There is skepticism around how well the bill was understood before being passed, as the House Speaker said to "pass the bill so you can find out what's in it" and the Senate Finance Chair suggested he did not read the entire bill.
- The document questions whether PPACA will truly reduce health care costs and preserve the concept of insurance covering only unlikely large expenses, rather than expected routine care costs.
PPACA FAQs
The document provides answers to frequently asked questions about the new US health care reform laws. Some key points:
- Major provisions of the laws will be phased in between 2010-2020, with many taking effect in 2014.
- Beginning in 2014, all citizens must have qualifying health insurance or pay a tax penalty.
- Starting in 2014, individuals and small businesses can purchase qualified coverage through state-based insurance exchanges.
- Employers with over 50 employees that do not offer coverage will face penalties starting in 2014.
- High-risk individuals unable to get coverage due to preexisting conditions will have access to a federal program until 2014.
- Preventive care must be covered without co

The document discusses legislative and legal developments regarding Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs. It summarizes that PACE programs provide effective financing for clean energy projects through municipal bonds repaid via property tax assessments. However, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issued statements opposing PACE programs that place superior liens on properties, limiting financing. Legislation in Congress and litigation aims to override objections and save PACE bonding, while pilot programs are proposed to expand participation.

The document summarizes myths and facts about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). It addresses several common myths, including that the ACA cuts Medicare benefits (it expands them), requires giving up private insurance (grandfathered plans can be kept), and provides subsidies to undocumented immigrants (subsidies are only for citizens and lawful residents). The document aims to separate myths from facts about the ACA.

The document summarizes concerns from Kansas legislators about additional state spending required by federally funded programs. It notes that in fiscal year 2016, Kansas agencies will need to spend an estimated $2 billion on cost-sharing obligations for over 500 federal programs. It also discusses conditions placed on federal funds, penalties for noncompliance, and how some national policies have been tied to federal funding with mixed legal challenges. The Supreme Court ruled that Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act was coercively tied to all federal Medicaid funds.
Autism Insurance PowerPoint Presentation
The document summarizes New York State's Autism Insurance Law, which requires health insurance providers to offer coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders. It was signed into law in 2011 and took effect in 2012. Key provisions include requiring coverage for treatments like applied behavior analysis up to $45,000 per year, with no age caps. Services must be prescribed by a doctor or psychologist. The law does not cover certain other autism services provided through other state programs. It applies to state-regulated health plans and consumers can file complaints with the Department of Financial Services for issues related to compliance.

The law does not apply to certain state-provided services but does provide consumer protections and avenues for complaints.
State Autism Insurance Reform Initiatives
Autism Speaks advocates for state laws requiring health insurance to cover autism treatments, as 15 states have passed such laws while others are considering bills. These laws aim to help families pay for applied behavior analysis and other evidence-based therapies by complementing services provided through schools. While costs to insurers are estimated to be low, autism treatments could help reduce the lifetime costs of care for individuals and billions in societal expenses.

Health insurance
Health insurance protects individuals from high medical costs by covering expenses. In India, health insurance reaches only 13% of the population through various schemes. These include private plans, employer-based coverage, community-based insurance, and government programs. The largest government scheme is the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), which provides services to central government employees and retirees in 17 cities. Another major program is Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY), which offers health insurance to below poverty line families. However, challenges remain in increasing awareness, improving claims processes, and reducing disputes over pre-existing conditions. Research shows that losing health insurance leads to 40% fewer emergency room visits and 61% fewer hospital

Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
