Health Reform & Language Access
The document discusses language access requirements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and opportunities and challenges for enrolling limited English proficient (LEP) individuals in health insurance exchanges. It notes that 23% of expected exchange applicants speak a language other than English and that 95% of uninsured LEP individuals will be eligible for financial assistance. While the ACA includes nondiscrimination protections and data collection requirements to support LEP individuals, some federal regulations have adopted a 10% language threshold that excludes many needed translations. Stakeholders are urged to get involved now to ensure exchanges are designed to effectively enroll and service LEP populations.

The document discusses several key federal priorities and issues for the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), including:
1) Medicare physician payment reforms, access to primary care, and graduate medical education funding.
2) The AAFP is asking the Payment Supercommittee to repeal the Sustainable Growth Rate formula, specify a positive payment rate for physicians for 3-5 years, and include a higher rate for primary care physicians.
3) Failure of the Supercommittee to reduce the deficit by $1.5 trillion could trigger automatic cuts beginning in 2013, reducing Medicare payments by 29.5%.

- The number of Alabama citizens enrolled in Medicaid increased 33% between 2001 and 2010, and Medicaid now consumes about 35% of the state's general fund budget. If current trends continue, Medicaid would require 92% of the general fund by 2020.
- Medicaid has a significant economic impact on Alabama, supporting over 143,000 jobs and over $3 billion in income through both direct and secondary effects.
- Updated technology, more primary care providers, and health information exchanges are needed to manage increased enrollment from the Affordable Care Act and develop the state's health insurance exchange.

National Water Supply and Sanitation Programme in India
- India faces major public health problems related to inadequate sanitation and untreated sewage entering water sources. Approximately 80-90% of untreated sewage is discharged directly into rivers and streams.
- Access to improved water supply and sanitation is uneven in India, with urban areas having greater access than rural areas. Many government programs have aimed to expand access, but challenges remain.
- Responsibility for water supply and sanitation is shared across various state and central government ministries and bodies. The national government has implemented several programs since 1954 to improve coverage of water supply and sanitation. However, open defecation and a lack of sewage treatment continue to be widespread issues.

This document provides information about the Home Health Documentation and Program Improvement Act of 2015 (S. 1650). The legislation aims to address unworkable Medicare documentation requirements related to home health "face-to-face" visits that have resulted in a high rate of denied claims. It would standardize documentation, accept forms completed by home health agencies and signed by physicians, and provide relief from past denied claims. Supporters argue it will reduce paperwork burdens and inappropriate claim denials while ensuring access to necessary home health services.

Heathcare miracle in Cuba
Despite occasional ‘discovery pieces’ the biomedical literature in English has been almost entirely silent on the Cuban experience and US
government policy temporarily forbade publication of articles from Cuba by US journals or their foreign subsidiaries.
The unwillingness to take account of the Cuban experience, or to even view it as an alternative route through which some societies can move toward the universal goal of health promotion, represents an important oversight. The achievements in Cuba thereby pose a challenge to the authority of the biomedical community in countries that define the scientific agenda.

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.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Recently uploaded (20)
