Curve before Washington on health care reform

The interesting political change. When the president of the electorate vote, labels Obamacare is a point of pride to go from a perjorative.

Americans believe that the Affordable Care Act in 2010 to change their lives, and no enthusiasm for the abolition of erosion.

Republicans eventually gave up, because they do not provide the 30 million Americans without insurance or those glad to legal for them to provide better coverage. Trash talking health care reform.

Eliminate industry gimmick, refuse or limit the policies of their parents, 26-year-old young adults coverage and inclusion is a huge blow.

State Senator Karen Kaiser, D-Kent, back last week from a series of legislative briefing in Washington, DC, in January 2014, will launch the new health care law and determined optimism.

Kaiser presided over the Senate Health and Long-term Care Committee. She and her opponents in the House of Representatives, State Rep. Eileen Cody, D-West Seattle, has been working for many years, Washington residents to improve access to health care.

Washington and some other countries, including the United States, California and Maryland, to speed up to promote the establishment of the exchange, will begin enrolling consumers in October 2013, covering January.

Exchanges in Washington last month to pick up a new name. This will as Washington Healthplanfinder, which will provide online guidance and side coverage and cost comparison.

Coverage of federal law, but also the need of health benefits: hospitalization, emergency services, maternal and newborn care, mental health care, prescription; rehabilitation; laboratory services, preventive care and outpatient services list.

Key federal players absolutely determined to make everyone begin Kaiser was hit. She heard from Gary Cohen, director of the research center for consumer information and insurance oversight, Cindy Mann, director of the Center of Medicaid and Medicare Services.

Cohen will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, among other things, to subsidize health insurance coverage for small businesses.

Man works will be covered by insurance, 65 years of age, whose income is less than 133% of the federal poverty line. Countries will be 100% subsidy for three years, and 90% after.

In the past two years, many countries have in the ideological paralysis. Some legislation would not budge, even the governor expressed interest in Obamacare. Elsewhere, legislators want to move forward, the governor hesitated.

The few Republican governor said, they will simply allow the federal government to build the entire system in their state. Kaiser muses recalcitrant states, the possibility of a template, a national health care system, a federal program.

Keiser's legislative instinct in Looking to the challenges of the future: cost control, as well as the transparency of the services provided and their cost. Notify suppliers and Hospital.

"We must focus on what we are for our weapons," Kaiser said. "We do not get accurate information."

She blames the mysterious accounting system, and look to save electronic record keeping and dissemination of standardized billing procedures. "The cost of this problem will explode," Kaiser said.

Washington early to prepare for federal funding, creating an insurance exchange, installing electronic medical records to help doctors, clinics and hospitals, and to encourage colleges and universities, and training of health care professionals.

The insurance company is not complaining about the flood, they will get new business opportunities for cost recovery, preventive health care, healthy life process.

Kaiser and Cody help, Washington is ready to benefit from the plan even his former political opponents are queued quietly.
