Senators Ron Johnson, Lindsey Graham, Dean Heller, and Bill Cassidy roll out the quietly radical bill last week. Photo: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Seemingly out of nowhere, last week Republicans began seriously considering one last effort to destroy Obamacare. As with previous versions of Trumpcare, the legislation crafted by senators Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy faces two challenges: an absurdly short deadline — due to Senate procedure, they must act by September 30 — and resistance within the GOP to passing a bill that would impact one-sixth of the economy in unknown and likely devastating ways. The senators are billing their legislation as a moderate approach, with Cassidy claiming, “A blue state can do a blue thing, a red state a red thing.” The reality is that it’s even more extreme that the GOP’s last few attempts to gut Obamacare. On top of all the draconian features of the previous bills, Graham-Cassidy shifts the burden … [Read more...] about 4 Ways Graham-Cassidy Would Make the Health-Care System Far Worse

“Medicaid for some, miniature American flags for others.” Photo: Zach Gibson/Bloomberg via Getty Images Now that Obamacare has survived its death panel, Democrats are done playing defense on health-care policy. After months of reciting Trumpcare’s many horrors, progressives can finally concentrate on detailing the virtues of their own plans for America’s health-care system. For many, this has meant lobbying congressional Democrats to join Bernie Sanders in backing “Medicare for all.” But Hawaii senator Brian Schatz has been preparing a counter-offer: “Medicaid for all who are into that sort of thing.” As Vox reports: Schatz’s bill would give all states the option of opening up their Medicaid programs to uninsured Americans who wish to purchase coverage. It would be similar, functionally, to how states currently have the option under Obamacare to expand their program to all Americans making less than 133 percent of the federal … [Read more...] about Democrats’ New Health-Care Plan: Medicaid for All (Who Want It)

It was a cold March night when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. turned his pulpit towards health care. Speaking to a packed, mixed-race crowd of physicians and health-care workers in Chicago, King gave one of his most influential late-career speeches, blasting the American Medical Association and other organizations for a “conspiracy of inaction” in the maintenance of a medical apartheid that persisted even then in 1966.There, King spoke words that have since become a maxim: “Of all the inequalities that exist, the injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman.” In the moment, it reflected the work that King and that organization, the Medical Committee for Human Rights (MCHR), were doing to advance one of the since-forgotten pillars of the civil-rights movement: the idea that health care is a right. To those heroes of the civil-rights movement, it was clear that the demons of inequality that have always haunted America could not be vanquished without the … [Read more...] about The Fight for Health Care Has Always Been About Civil Rights

WALLINGFORD, Conn. (AP) — Two Connecticut health care systems are teaming up with a proposal to open a new high-tech cancer treatment center. Hartford HealthCare and Yale New Haven Health System say the 25,000-square-foot center in Wallingford would be the first in the state to provide proton beam therapy. That is a highly advanced form of radiation treatment, which uses protons rather than X-rays to treat cancer. Officials say the advantage of proton therapy is that it can be better controlled and deliver higher doses of radiation to tumors with fewer side effects. The treatment is currently only available at a handful of locations in the Northeast. The plan still needs approval from the state Office of Health Strategy. … [Read more...] about Health care systems team up for new cancer treatment center
