bernie just spoke in front of congress about a single payer amendment apparently being drafted by senator daines (R) from montana? said that if they can get 5 or 6 more republicans to join it will pass. good luck with that. but interesting, nonetheless.
I don't think that will be that common at all unless you literally don't care at all about retaining employees in a fairly tight job market. You also had to have over 50 employees and most business that don't do health insurance are small. Not sure how many businesses are paying the penalty obviously those would benefit. The individual mandate is the key and will unravel the market, but it was too low to be an effective enough stick and pools were to easy to add and drop based on medical need. Those were the biggest issues in my opinion.
So my state rep is coming to visit/tour my facility tomorrow morning. Among other things she's carrying this glowing endorsement:
Republicans could wrap a shiny pro business bow on this shit and their constituents would eat it up. And democrats who actually give a fuck about the country and not just the party would go along with it. But that's a pipe dream.
If Todd is a prison guard that lives in Columbus that means he probably works at the London prison. Which means he makes less than 20 an hour and lives in Galloway which is where a great deal of Columbus' white trash lives. Lol this all makes too much sense.
The Affordable Care Act's Prevention and Public Health Fund represents a critical investment in our nation's health. Funding prevention activities is also a key step toward bending our unsustainable cost curve. The Prevention and Public Health Fund was created by Section 4002 of the Affordable Care Act. Also known as the Prevention Fund or PPHF, it is the nation’s first mandatory funding stream dedicated to improving our nation’s public health. By law, the Fund must be used "to provide for expanded and sustained national investment in prevention and public health programs to improve health and help restrain the rate of growth in private and public health care costs." Today, seven in 10 deaths in the U.S. are related to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and cancer, which are often preventable. Another striking fact is that 75 percent of our health care dollars are spent treating such diseases. However, only 3 percent of our health care dollars go toward prevention. To adequately meet our prevention needs, and to control our unsustainable growth in health care costs, a 2012 Institute of Medicine report recommended that we increase federal funding for public health and prevention by $12 billion annually, a doubling of the FY 2009 federal investment in public health. A key first step toward meeting this need is the Prevention and Public Health Fund. According to recent research, this kind of investment has the potential to improve health outcomes and reduce costs. For example, a $2.9 billion investment in community-based disease prevention programs would be estimated to save $16.5 billion annually within five years (in 2004 dollars). So far, the Fund has provided $2.25 billion for prevention and public health activities: $500 million in FY 2010, $750 million in FY 2011, and $1 billion in FY 2012.
