As a Canadian who became a US Citizen, I know how badly the socialized health care system in Canada works for those who are seriously ill . It would be a shame to see that type of system come to the US and lower our standar of health care. If welfare, social security and health care become a right for…
Between EBN's Web site, podcast series, Facebook page, Twitter news feed and blog, you may think we've got the Internet blanketed. But no! I found yet another corner of the Web to stick my nose into.
Isn't it true that the statistics about the uninsured are somewhat misleading? Millions of eligible citizens for whatever reason fail to enroll themselves or family members into existing government programs. Millions more are illegal aliens.
A first step in the right direction. However, the health care crisis is a national crisis and everyone needs to contribute. I didn´t read anything about corporations contributing. Some may say that corporations already doing their part by offering employer based healthcare. However, that´s not enough…
First of all, I don't believe in insuring all Americans at the taxpayers' expense. There are better ways to make insurance more affordable for everyone. Form a bipartisan task force to study this, instead of throwing money at the problem.
There's nothing to comment on, except to say that there's nothing to comment on! It reminds me of the "1992 model" that was high on talk and low on details, especially details like what the actual benefits will be, and who is gonna force ALL Americans (unemployed, etc.) to pay for it.
I think this approach is wrongheaded on every point. Increasing taxes on the wealthy will only result in less wealth being created (and his wealthy political allies will somehow escape the increased taxation). Government intervention in any industry tends to make things worse. If they can't manage Medicare…
So first he punishes those who extra hard to earn what they have now he's going to take it out on the elderly too.
The only way to achieve Universal Coverage is via Consumer Driven Health Care. You have to put "skin in the game" for the health care purchaser.
Following this morning's announcement of President Obama's budget proposals, which make significant investments in health care reform, benefits experts offered their opinions:
Seeing the health care reform proposals coming from Congress and states, thinking, "I could do better"? Now's your chance to show it.
Among the proposals in President Barack Obama's budget, unveiled this morning, is a measure to expand retirement plans by requiring employers that do not have such a plan to auto-enroll workers into an IRA, and modifying the existing Saver´s Credit to provide a 50% match on the first $1,000 of retirement…
I do not think the the term "Universal Healthcare" in this context means covering everyone under one government program. Accounts that I have read note that the $634B is the budget amount being given to Congress which will be charged with coming up with a plan to provide access to affordable coverage…
President Obama this morning unveiled his first budget, which includes a $634 billion down payment on achieving universal health care for Americans.
So take this with a grain of salt here everyone, because the survey data came from Delta Dental themselves, but a press release hit my inbox recently declaring the dental benefits provider is No. 1 among consumers, dentists, brokers and benefits decisionmakers.
Okay, so maybe most pension plan sponsors are already on Plan Q in terms of how to stop the blood-letting in their plans due to the economic crisis, but a recent report by Associate Editor Lydell Bridgeford on BenefitNews.com highlights analysis from Watson Wyatt sponsors may want to consider. Although…
President Barack Obama last night reaffirmed his priority to provide universal health coverage and reduce health insurance costs, declaring before the joint session of Congress that "health-care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year."
It is the responsibility of shareholders and the board of directors to set compensation for executives. A couple of other points –
Providing personal and financial relief to working families is a concept that's grown in popularity, from President Obama on down — even paving the way for several state mandates regarding work-life benefits like paid sick and family leave.
