The document discusses arguments for replacing private health insurance with a universal single-payer system. It argues that private health insurance operates on a negative premise by dividing the population and instilling fear to turn a profit. It also discusses how environmental factors like pollution, chemical usage, and resource extraction negatively impact public health. The document concludes that healthcare should be recognized as a basic right, not a commodity, and can be funded through a single-payer system that collectively shares the social and financial responsibility of healthcare coverage.
The document discusses the history and evolution of corporate governance in India. It provides details on key committees and recommendations that helped shape India's corporate governance framework over time. Some of the main elements of corporate governance that it outlines include the roles and responsibilities of boards of directors, shareholders and other stakeholders. It also discusses the impact of corporate governance on company performance and principles like transparency, accountability and protection of shareholder rights.

The document summarizes key features of insurance contracts and factors affecting infant mortality rates. Insurance contracts are aleatory, involve adhesion, require utmost good faith between parties, are executory, unilateral, personal, can involve warranties and representations, and are conditional. Factors influencing infant mortality include biological factors (birth weight, maternal age, birth order), economic factors, cultural/social factors (breastfeeding, education, healthcare), and environmental factors (sanitation, air quality). Neonatal deaths are influenced mainly by endogenous biological factors, while post-neonatal deaths are influenced more by exogenous social and environmental factors.

This document provides an overview and review of critical illness insurance. It discusses how critical illnesses like cancer and heart disease can impact finances through lost income and medical costs. It then outlines sources of funds people may have like health insurance, disability insurance, and savings, but notes their limitations. The document proposes critical illness insurance as a potential solution, explaining that it pays a lump sum that can be used flexibly upon diagnosis of a covered critical illness. This allows focusing on treatment instead of finances. The document also clarifies what critical illness insurance is not, such as health care insurance.
The document discusses the effects of disasters from multiple perspectives. It defines the difference between a hazard and a disaster, with a disaster requiring human impact. It then outlines several key human effects of natural and man-made disasters: displaced populations, health risks, food scarcity, and emotional aftershocks. Next, it explores the physical, psychological, socio-cultural, economic, political, and biological perspectives on disaster impacts, providing examples of common effects within each perspective.

This document summarizes a mobile health app called The Health Project. It aims to reverse obesity trends by providing health education to users. The app offers 15-minute daily lessons on topics like nutrition, fitness, and disease prevention using insights from health philosophies and science. It teaches a sustainable approach to healthy living rather than restrictive diets. The founders are raising a $350k seed round to launch their first program and pursue their mission of empowering people with health knowledge.
The document discusses factors that influence physical activity and nutrition habits and barriers to making healthy choices. It addresses environmental factors like modern conveniences, job requirements, and community priorities that promote sedentary lifestyles. Traffic-calming strategies and value marketing are defined. Common reasons for unhealthy choices include procrastination and cultural beliefs. Locus of control and its relation to health is explained, along with three impediments - problems of competence, confidence, and motivation - that can prevent people from making changes. SMART goals are defined as specific, measurable, acceptable, realistic and time-specific.
This is a dicussion about the 2010 Health Reform Laws, what they mean to the local community, employers, business, and citizens of the community, and what the opportunity is under health reform for communities to retake control of their health care finance plan and build on their personal relationship with their health care providers.
The document discusses health reform in the United States and the key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It details previous attempts at national health reform that failed prior to 2010 and the reasons reform is difficult. It then focuses on the key aspects of the ACA that allowed it to succeed where past reforms failed, such as the individual mandate, health insurance exchanges, employer requirements, and changes to private insurance markets.
This document summarizes Chapter 12 of a textbook on staying healthy. It discusses how unhealthy modern lifestyles can affect health, such as eating convenience foods, prolonged computer use, and loud music. It also discusses maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise. It describes some causes of diseases like viruses, bacteria, and hereditary factors. It talks about managing malfunctioning organs through technologies like organ transplants or kidney dialysis. The chapter provides information on staying healthy and managing common health issues.
This chapter outlines some limitations of the traditional view of the health field, which focuses primarily on medical care and treatment. It notes that historical analyses show improvements in health are largely due to environmental changes and behavioral modifications. An analysis of current mortality statistics in Canada shows that many early deaths are influenced by socioeconomic factors, health education, attitudes, and lifestyle/behavioral risks rather than access to medical treatment. The chapter suggests environmental and behavioral approaches are important to further improving health outcomes.
The document discusses key facts about Social Security benefits and the Social Security system in the United States. It notes that Social Security is the largest government program in the world, paying out over $700 billion annually to over 50 million people. The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the Social Security Act. The first person to receive a monthly Social Security payment was Ida May Fuller in 1940. Social Security provides benefits to retired workers, disabled workers, widows/widowers and dependents. The amount individuals receive varies depending on their income level and other factors. Workers and employers both pay a percentage of earnings to fund the Social Security system.

Health Care Reform Goes Live: The Affordable Care Act in 2014Craig B. Garner
The document provides an overview of health care reform under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that goes into effect in 2014. It summarizes the history of health care in the US and the key provisions of the ACA, including the individual and employer mandates, health insurance exchanges, essential health benefits, and reforms to the delivery of medical care through programs like Accountable Care Organizations. The document is intended to educate about how the ACA will be implemented and its impact on various groups in early 2014.
This document discusses retirement planning and alternatives to traditional 401(k)s and IRAs. It argues that 401(k)s have high fees and are a poor investment for retirement. Alternative options presented include index universal life insurance policies that allow tax-free growth and access to funds for retirement income, critical illnesses, or chronic conditions. The document claims these policies provide better returns and guarantees than traditional retirement accounts while avoiding taxes and market risk. Disclosures note that withdrawals are subject to surrender penalties and tax liability.
Predictions, Hopes and Aspirations for U.S. Healthcare in 2015Health Catalyst
Predicting events in healthcare, especially year to year, is incredibly easy because healthcare advances at a glacial rate. Any significant changes that do happen in a year are rare. The IRS and public education may be the only other institutions that move at such a creeping, crawling, reluctant pace. But that's not to say predictions aren't worth trying. And lately, there have been some interesting developments for the healthcare industry that could mean some intriguing change is finally coming our way.
Please join Dale Sanders as he makes his predictions for 2015, some serious, some irreverent, and some simply hopeful aspirations, but all thought provoking and worthy of discussion. Unlike his past webinars where he does all the talking, this time Dale wants to hear from you. So, we'll be opening up the audio lines to give you the opportunity to share your thoughts and votes on Dale's predictions, and share your own predictions for 2015 and beyond, too.
The discussion will cover the following, and more:
The barriers that stand in the way of significant year-to-year changes in US healthcare
The pending Supreme Court decision on state-level insurance subsidies
Mergers & Acquisitions
The looming reality of hidden patient costs from narrow insurance plans
Why the future of healthcare lies in the hands of physicians and patients, not hospitals and insurance companies
And in a less obvious twist, discover how the Denver Broncos will win the next five Super Bowls using spliced genetics.
It's always fun to look ahead and try to predict what might or might not happen. Come prepared to share your opinions,vote on Dale's predictions, and join in for a candid and lively conversation.
Safety is the acceptable management of risk, not the elimination of risk. Absolute safety is unattainable. A thing is safe if its risks are judged acceptable by reasonable people based on their values. Risk is the potential for unwanted harm. The acceptability of risk depends on factors like voluntariness of exposure, how information is presented, job-related risks, and the magnitude and proximity of potential harm. Engineers face challenges with public perceptions that underestimate familiar risks or overestimate rare but dramatic events.

1. What was the reasoning for enacting the Emergency Medical Treatment and
Active Labour Act?
EMTALA is a form of activism that has been implemented to perform different functions in
the healthcare section. Major reasoning for engaging the EMTALA includes the stabilization
of critical patients in emergent situations before being taken to any medical center as needed.
This is done through proper evaluation of the condition and determining the best way of
responding to a critical state of affairs of the patient. Key other reasons will include the
aspect of preventing more damage and impairment of one's health and also gives room to
determine the best receiving hospital with the necessary facilities, skills, and medical
capabilities. Also in addition to that, there is a chance to record every step of the patient's
state of health (Jeremy &Julia, 2016).
2. Should medical advice be dispensed on the Telephone? Explain your opinion.
In this case, medical advice can be dispensed over the phone depending on what the situation
entails. If it's on general medical situations, then it's ok as this has few of its benefits.
Through the telephone, one can have excellent advice as in most cases, skilled medical
expertise is the ones allowed to give the advice hence dependable information is provided.
Also, its time saving as there are cases where the patient has doubts and instead of meeting up
with doctors can consult through the phone. In the case of the emergent situations, life could
be saved through first aid performance before urgent help is availed. Such medical advice
involves privacy between the client and doctor and it's cost-effective. However, it's key to
have a disclaimer of the medical situation to maintain strictly a doctor-patient relationship
(Ellen, 2014).

This document discusses several key concepts related to providing culturally competent care to older adults:
- The older adult population in the US is becoming more diverse, so nurses must advance their cultural competence.
- It is important for nurses to gain awareness of their own cultural beliefs and increase their knowledge of other cultures.
- Several models are presented that can help nurses understand patients' cultural beliefs about health and provide culturally appropriate care, such as Leininger's Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality.
IC 33 Insurance Agent's Exam Manish presentation full chaptersManish Suryawanshi
The document is a presentation on introduction to insurance. It discusses:
- The history and evolution of life insurance, including key milestones like the Life Insurance Companies Act of 1912, the Insurance Act of 1938, and the nationalization of life and non-life insurance.
- The basics of how insurance works as a risk transfer tool through the pooling of similar risks. It covers concepts like assets, risks, contracts, insurers and insured parties.
- Different risk management techniques used in insurance like risk avoidance, control, retention, financing and transfer.
- The role of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) as the regulator for the insurance industry in India.
The document summarizes key issues facing the U.S. healthcare system including rising costs, an increasing number of uninsured and underinsured Americans, and poor health outcomes compared to other developed nations. It attributes these problems partially to the for-profit insurance model which incentivizes denying claims to maximize profits. This leads to high administrative waste as hospitals must employ large staffs to deal with insurance bureaucracies. The majority of healthcare spending is shouldered by the government through programs like Medicare and Medicaid, yet the U.S. still spends over twice as much per capita as other countries without achieving better population health.
Here are the key cases from Merrick Garland's record that were discussed:
- United States v. Microsoft Corp. (2001): Garland wrote the opinion for the D.C. Circuit that mostly upheld a lower court's ruling against Microsoft for antitrust violations. This showed Garland's willingness to rule against large corporations.
- Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2004): Garland was part of a panel that ruled the military commissions set up to try Guantanamo detainees violated the Geneva Conventions and Uniform Code of Military Justice. This established Garland as skeptical of expansive executive power.
- Schindler Elevator Corp. v. United States ex rel. Kirk (2011): Gar

Here are the key cases from Merrick Garland's record that were discussed:
- United States v. Microsoft Corp. (2001): Garland wrote the opinion for the D.C. Circuit that mostly upheld a lower court's ruling against Microsoft for antitrust violations. This showed Garland's willingness to rule against large corporations.
- Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2004): Garland was part of a panel that ruled the military commissions set up to try Guantanamo detainees violated the Geneva Conventions and Uniform Code of Military Justice. This established Garland as skeptical of expansive executive power.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Your smile is beautiful.
Let’s be honest. Maintaining that beautiful smile is not an easy task. It is more than brushing and flossing. Sometimes, you might encounter dental issues that need special dental care. These issues can range anywhere from misalignment of the jaw to pain in the root of teeth.
1. THE WORLD AS IT IS VERSUS THE WORLD AS IT SHOULD BE Isn’t that what this whole Health Care Reform initiative is about? SINGLE PAYER WOULD CALL UPON ALL SECTORS OF OUR SOCIETY TO CO-FINANCE A UNIVERAL HEALTH CARE FUND FOR ALL AMERICANS In today’s complex world, no problem has an easy solution. Complexity requires that any reform effort take into account the obvious. That is the purpose of this document, to walk you though our existing system’s obvious defects and promote active debate on how to move forward

35. 2. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND HOW WE LIVE Our planet, and our health, are affected by our choices and use of the earth’s resources.
36. 2. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND HOW WE LIVE Our planet, and our health, are affected by our choices and use of the earth’s resources. .. the AIR we BREATH ( pollution and CO2 ) The enormous volume of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere is upsetting its chemical balance. This imbalance has not only triggered global warming but potentially compromises the very air we breath. Add to this all the other pollutants that affect air quality and our health, and its obvious we have a serious problem.
37. 2. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND HOW WE LIVE .. the AIR we BREATH ( pollution and CO2 ) .. the WATER we DRINK ( dumping/sewage ) Our planet, and our health, are affected by our choices and use of the earth’s resources. In a single year, polluters dumped more than 232 million pounds of toxic chemicals into our nation’s rivers and streams. Nationwide, polluters contaminated the drinking water of 23 million Americans. In the last 5 years, industry has violated water pollution laws half a million times. 1 in 10 Americans have been exposed to drinking water that contains dangerous chemicals or fails to meet federal health benchmarks in other ways.
38. 2. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND HOW WE LIVE .. the AIR we BREATH ( pollution and CO2 ) .. the WATER we DRINK ( dumping/sewage ) .. the LAND we EXHAUST ( overuse/misuse ) Our planet, and our health, are affected by our choices and use of the earth’s resources. Environmental Groups are stepping up their opposition to the coal industries practice of removing the tops of moun-tains with explosives. 500 individual peaks have been removed – the equivalent of 1.2 million acres of land the size of the state of Delaware. In two-thirds of the mountain top removal operations, valley fill is the sister practice of dumping the remaining waste in valleys. In 99% of the valleys some type of water source will be affected. It was true then (1958 Silent Spring) and it holds true now. We are poisoning the earth with chemicals.
39. 2. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND HOW WE LIVE .. the AIR we BREATH ( pollution and CO2 ) .. the WATER we DRINK ( dumping/sewage ) .. the LAND we EXHAUST ( overuse/misuse ) .. the FOODS we EAT ( processed/empty ) Our planet, and our health, are affected by our choices and use of the earth’s resources. ‘ You are what you eat’ and in food you find completely synthetic ingredients, quasi-edible substances that ultimately do not come from a corn or soybean field but from a petroleum refinery or chemical plant. These chemicals are what make modern processed foods possible. Chemicals, sweeteners, hormones … our bodies are exposed to it all, with grave implications for our national health. From premature menstruation in girls, to breast formation in boys. From obesity to alarming levels of diabetes. The dietary health of America is in trouble.
40. 2. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND HOW WE LIVE Our planet, and our health, are affected by our choices and use of the earth’s resources. Since 2003, we see a jump in the number of returning Veterans seeking VA health care. How many deserving soldiers have returned home to be denied care? Might there be a relationship between the Iraq War and the rising costs of health care?

52. 3. NO TO PUBLIC OPTION WITH PHI YES TO SINGLE PAYER Don’t perpetuate PHI by obligating Americans to pay Health Care Insurance. Consolidate our Health Care Purchasing Power through Taxes (front-end & back-end). The Baucus Health Care Reform Price tag is set to $856 billion over a 10 year period, and foresees middle class families paying 13% of their earnings in Health Insurance Premiums (not including cost-sharing concepts like co-payments, deductibles) The Baucus Plan leaves a back-door penalty that an employer or family must pay if they do not enroll. What happens when most opt out and pay the penalty? Will they still have access to health care? Will the Public Option be viable? Aren’t we asking those with the least likely ability to pay (i.e., those outside the employer covered health care network) to be one of the legs in the Financing Stool of the Public Option? Do we even know how many legs the stool has?

56. 3. NO TO PUBLIC OPTION WITH PHI YES TO SINGLE PAYER Consolidate our Health Care Purchasing Power through Taxes (front-end/back-end).

Transparency will require that any charging of the Single Payer Tax be an isolated item on the transaction document, be it Pay Stub, Sales Receipt or any other instrument where the tax is effectively assessed for collection . Business will match employees contribution to health care. At 2%, this is lower than the 14% average currently paid on median incomes.

Reference Point: Health Care Costs represent 18% of GDP or $2.5 trillion. The percentages and mix of sectors to be taxed for Health Care is suggestive only. It is to support the case that there are more ways than one to approach Health Care Financing. The most prudent and just approach is to spread the burden . The more legs to the stool for Health Care Financing, the greater the safety in the event that one leg or more drop-off or dip in our current crisis.
