This document discusses the benefits of appointing, rather than electing, members to healthcare regulatory boards in the UK. It argues that an appointments-based system ensures members have the necessary skills and experience for the job, rather than being popular candidates. It also advocates for parity between lay members and practitioner members on boards. Lay members provide important perspectives beyond just healthcare expertise, including experience with governance, finances, and representing patient interests. The document contends this mix of skills and viewpoints improves decision making and better protects the public.

Medical negligence cases can be complex and costly for all parties involved. Over 6,000 medical negligence claims are filed each year in the UK. For financially disadvantaged patients, the costs of strong legal representation may be prohibitive as lawyer fees can be very high. The government spends £19 million annually to provide legal aid for negligence cases, but this still may not fully cover costs. Some lawyers agree to defer payment of fees until after a case is settled, if they believe the claim is strong. However, these cases take significant time and resources to build, involving medical experts and evidence gathering. People should not be discouraged from filing legitimate claims, but should prepare for high costs draftsmen and other expenses.

Costly new technologies and the free-market nature of the health care industry have raised the cost of health care.
The cost of health care is rising, in part because of expensive new technologies and procedures, and in part because of the market failure of the health care industry. It has been argued that deregulation of health insurers, combined with a free market health care industry, has changed health care from a service-based structure to a commodity, or a product available for purchase. America's health care delivery system is geared toward the multibillion dollar health insurance industry rather than individual payers, many of whom lack the financial ability to cover health care expenses out of pocket, from general emergency room care to a life-threatening illness. After all, few people have $10,000 in their budgets to cover the cost of an emergency room visit for a broken arm.
Americans purchase health insurance to cover medical bills, but health insurance is too expensive for many families to afford. In 2010, 64% of the American population had private health insurance for all or part of the year. That isn't a very large majority, considering that everybody needs medical attention at some point. In that same year, 31% of the population had government-run public health insurance, and 16.3% had no health insurance at all for all or part of the year (DeNavas-Walt, Proctor, & Smith, 2011). The question across America, from Congress to kitchen tables, is how to insure all, how to tackle rising health care costs, and how to decipher a fair and equitable payee process.
Critical Thinking
What do you think will be the impact if health care costs are not addressed? What future problems do you predict?
5.1 Private Payers
The private payer sector comprises programs that provide financial access to health care, which includes insurance companies, employer-run health coverage programs, and individuals who pay for health care out of pocket. Individuals who pay for all of their health care out of pocket are rare, as the cost of health care is prohibitive. Employer-run health coverage programs are types of i ...
Medical malpractice insurance premiums are rising significantly each year, threatening the sustainability of the healthcare system. The high costs are due to a flawed legal system that allows for exorbitant pain and suffering awards in medical malpractice lawsuits, even in cases where doctors followed appropriate standards of care. While insurance companies seek caps on awards, they resist limits on premium increases. Doctors are forming cooperatives to gain more control over rising costs, but remain vulnerable to large awards. Reform is needed to ensure a fair process and reasonable compensation for valid claims.

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that aims to boost the body's immune system to help it fight cancer, including mesothelioma. It works by stimulating components of the immune system or counteracting signals that help cancer cells hide. Several clinical trials have shown promise for mesothelioma immunotherapy. While surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation remain primary treatments, immunotherapy may become an important new option for mesothelioma patients.

Binaural hearing using two hearing aids instead of one offers numerous advantages, including improved sound localization, enhanced sound quality, better speech understanding in noise, reduced listening effort, and greater overall satisfaction. By leveraging the brain’s natural ability to process sound from both ears, binaural hearing aids provide a more balanced, clear, and comfortable hearing experience. If you or a loved one is considering hearing aids, consult with a hearing care professional at Ear Solutions hearing aid clinic in Mumbai to explore the benefits of binaural hearing and determine the best solution for your hearing needs. Embracing binaural hearing can lead to a richer, more engaging auditory experience and significantly improve your quality of life.

Financial Help for Mesothelioma Victims
2. Mesothelioma is a disease that not only involves significant physical health costs but many financial ones as well. People who are
diagnosed with mesothelioma often face a multitude of newfound overwhelming expenditures that can quickly send many families

into crippling debt.
The good news is that there are several forms of compensation and other benefits that may be available to mesothelioma victims
and their families. You can learn how to access all the possible financial resources when you work with an experienced
mesothelioma attorney.
If you or a family member has been diagnosed with the asbestos cancer mesothelioma, contact us today to learn about
the financial help that is available to you. A consultation with a knowledgeable mesothelioma attorney is free, and you will be
able to get all your questions answered and make a plan for moving forward.
Where to Find Financial Assistance for Mesothelioma
The only known cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos. Many people were exposed to this
cancer-causing mineral fiber on the job or during their time in the service. Others may have been exposed
due to asbestos materials in the home or “take-home” asbestos carried home on uniforms, skin or hair.
There is no safe level of asbestos exposure, and even one instance of exposure can lead to mesothelioma.
The primary option for obtaining financial compensation after a mesothelioma diagnosis is to hold the companies responsible for
your asbestos exposure accountable. You may also be eligible for other benefits and financial relief depending on your
circumstances. An experienced mesothelioma attorney can review the details of your case and explain all possible sources for
financial assistance, including:
Asbestos Lawsuits
Mesothelioma patients and families who have lost loved ones to the disease can file lawsuits against the negligent companies or
other parties responsible for their life-threatening illness. In most cases, the companies involved will be willing to negotiate a
settlement to avoid the risk of going to trial. Some mesothelioma settlements may be reached in as few as 30 days.
If a case does go to trial, then your attorney will make a strong case for maximum compensation to cover all medical expenses,
lost wages, damages related to pain and suffering, and other losses you have experienced. Because mesothelioma is an
4. aggressive and incurable disease, your attorney should work to expedite the trial
process with the goal of resolving your entire case within a year.
Asbestos Trust Funds
Many asbestos companies have filed for bankruptcy. These companies have been
required to set aside money in bankruptcy trust funds for asbestos-related claims to be
allocated for qualified victims.
The process of obtaining money from a trust fund does involve filing a claim, but it is not
the same as filing a lawsuit. Trust fund claims may be complicated, but an experienced
attorney will know how to navigate the process and ensure that you can recover every
dollar that is available to you.
Wrongful Death Claims
If you have lost a family member to mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim. State law
governs who may file a wrongful death lawsuit, and every state has a different statute of limitations that determine time limits for
filing claims.
In most cases, the awards are for the benefit of the deceased person’s surviving spouse and children, although other family
members may be entitled to benefits in certain jurisdictions.
The time clock for filing a wrongful death claim typically begins with the date of a person’s death. A court will not hear any case
that is filed after the statute of limitations has expired. That’s why it is important to speak with an experienced mesothelioma lawyer
as soon as possible.
Government Assistance for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma victims may be entitled to government benefits depending on their circumstances. Unfortunately, obtaining
government benefits requires navigating a frustrating system filled with red tape ─ a task that many mesothelioma patients and
their caregivers don’t have the time or energy to take on.
5. A respected mesothelioma law firm will have the manpower and the resources to
handle your additional claim for government benefits, including:
VA Benefits
Military veterans who have been diagnosed with an asbestos illness after being
exposed to the carcinogen during their service could be entitled to monthly
United States Department of Veterans Affairs benefits. The VA states that a
veteran can receive disability benefits if:
1) You have an illness believed to be caused by contact with asbestos.
2) The contact occurred while you were serving in the military.
3) You did not receive a dishonorable discharge.
Veterans can be entitled to compensation (payments) and health care. To obtain these benefits, a veteran will need to file a
claim for disability compensation and provide evidence that includes:
• Medical records stating the veteran’s illness or disability
• Service records listing the veteran’s job or specialty
• A doctor’s statement saying there is a connection between the veteran’s contact with asbestos during military service and the
current illness or disability.
A lawyer who is familiar with VA claims can help mesothelioma victims deal with many of the complications that can arise in the
handling of these claims. Requests for additional medical records are a common source of frustration for many applicants, but
a skilled lawyer can take on these burdens for you.
Social Security Disability Benefits
6. A person diagnosed with mesothelioma could be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. The Social
Security Administration uses a publication known as the Blue Book in its consideration of SSDI claims. The listing of
impairments for pleura or mediastinum includes malignant mesothelioma of pleura, tumors of the mediastinum with metastases
to or beyond the regional lymph nodes or persistent or recurrent following initial anticancer therapy, or small-cell (oat cell)
carcinoma.
Mesothelioma cases may also qualify for the Social Security Administration’s compassionate allowances program, which
expedites the handling of a case involving a particularly poor prognosis.
An experienced attorney will know how an SSDI application needs to be completed for a mesothelioma victim to obtain
disability benefits. You can spare yourself significant delays by contacting a lawyer as soon as possible.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits
When you leave a job because of a mesothelioma diagnosis, you could be eligible
for workers’ compensation benefits. Mesothelioma is considered an occupational
illness because a majority of victims were exposed to asbestos in the course of
their work.
Employers will often challenge claims based on mesothelioma, arguing that the
disease was not the result of their employment or an injury suffered on the job. You
can benefit from having a skilled lawyer handle your workers’ compensation claim
for mesothelioma.
Nonprofit Organizations
Certain nonprofit organizations may be able to help mesothelioma victims obtain compensation by identifying possible resources.
There are nonprofit organizations that raise money specifically for victims of mesothelioma. Such organizations usually provide
services at no cost and may offer other financial assistance.
7. Some of the prominent nonprofit organizations that offer assistance to mesothelioma victims include the Mesothelioma Research
Foundation of America, CancerCare, NeedyMeds and the Patient Advocate Foundation.
Drug Assistance Programs (Indigent Drug Programs)
Undoubtedly one of the steepest costs that mesothelioma victims face is the bill for their prescription drugs. There are drug
assistance programs (often referred to as patient assistance programs or indigent drug programs) offered by several
pharmaceutical manufacturers to help pay for certain medications.
Many pharmaceutical companies’ websites dedicate sections that detail patient assistance programs and can be valuable
resources. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance is a free website that has information about nearly 500 public and private
patient assistance programs.
You may be able to contact a pharmaceutical company directly to ask about drug assistance programs. Most companies have toll-
free numbers that allow you to request applications.
Travel, Housing and Treatment Grants
Mesothelioma patients could be eligible for grants covering travel, housing and treatment expenses. Different nonprofit
organizations offer grants for certain types of medical treatment expenses. For example, The Chain Fund Inc. provides cancer
patients grants to help pay for their mortgage, rent, utilities, prescriptions, insurance copays and other expenses.
Factors That Affect Expenses for Mesothelioma Patients and Families
Most mesothelioma victims and their caregivers face extremely complicated financial situations. Several factors contribute
additional stress to victims’ and caregivers’ lives.
Treatment Costs
Treating mesothelioma often involves very costly medical procedures ─ such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and
palliative treatment ─ as well as assisted living care.
8. When negotiating a possible settlement to a mesothelioma lawsuit, it is always important to keep future treatment costs in mind, as
well, because total treatment costs can often exceed $1 million over the course of a person’s lifetime.
A November 2017 study published in the BMJ, a weekly peer-reviewed medical journal, estimated an economic burden of $831
million in direct and indirect costs for 427 newly diagnosed mesothelioma cases and 1,904 lung cancer cases attributable to
asbestos exposure in 2011. Another $1.5 billion in quality-of-life costs was estimated. “The economic burden of lung cancer and
mesothelioma associated with occupational and para-occupational asbestos exposure is substantial,” the study concluded.
Travel
Mesothelioma treatment can involve significant travel expenses for the victim. Specialists can be in different cities, and
mesothelioma patients and their family members may be required to incur costs for overnight lodging in some instances.
In some cases, specialized care can also involve airfare costs. These travel expenses can often be a tremendous burden for many
mesothelioma victims.
Loss of Job
Mesothelioma sufferers are often left in a weakened state. They are no longer able
to function under the demands of their previous occupations, labor. Without a job,
many mesothelioma victims are left without an income.
The simple truth is that most mesothelioma victims will be permanently unable to
return to work in any capacity because of their deteriorating health.
Housing
Sometimes, modifications to mesothelioma patients’ homes are necessary to accommodate complex medical equipment. Such
modifications often involve expensive home renovation costs.
In other cases, mesothelioma victims may struggle to find a place to live because of an inability to pay rent or find affordable
housing. Numerous organizations can assist mesothelioma victims in finding affordable or temporary housing.
