But he got a little self-help and boring, especially with his powerpoint use.<BR/><BR/>But one thing I think about often is the idea of widespread routine psychology check ups. Perhaps twice a year. This guy made me realize how powerful of a social tool that would be. On the happiness scale, EVERYBODY could use some help rising up. And assisting average people, like myself, move up in happines would not only help us release ourselves from common worries but also motivate us to help those with mental illness.

First o...Reform Watcher, <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the comment. First off, I did not write the phrase "crippling health reform," but did find RJ Eskow's article worthy of posting. <BR/><BR/>I am by no means a health care policy expert, let alone an authority on the Commonwealth's healthcare reform. You are certainly right that the 4.8% does not indicate any crippling. Perhaps he just used hyperbole to emphasize his point. <BR/><BR/>The Wall Street Journal article linked to, however, uses some slightly different data to make the point. Granted, the article is from a year ago, when the new MA plan was still in its infancy, and some of the data cited in the article is from 2005 and earlier. <BR/><BR/>But it emphasizes the PCP shortage in how few are accepting new patients, and the increase in waiting time for an appointment. So while less than 5% didn't get needed care, others are waiting longer as the pool of new PCP dries up. <BR/><BR/>One of my mentors works at Codman Square community clinic in Dorchestor, and says since the new law took effect, they have been extremely overwhelmed with patients, and even more underfunded than ever. <BR/><BR/>I certainly hope that new bill passes to attract more young doctors into primary care, not just in Mass., but everywhere. <BR/><BR/>Thank you again for the comment, and I look forward to seeing how the MA model for health insurance reform plays out in the coming years as more data come in.DifferentiAtlashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637842321733475127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495563887923175838.post-12516867083438786812008-07-25T08:54:00.000-04:002008-07-25T08:54:00.000-04:00Whoaa.

To say the primary care shortage “is already crippling health reform in Massachusetts” is way overstating it.<BR/><BR/>Here’s the data: The number of people who said they “Did not get needed care in past year because of trouble finding a doctor or other provider who would see them or trouble getting an appointment” went up from 3.5% to 4.8%. Is that “crippling?”<BR/><BR/>Yes, there’s a shortage of primary care in MA, same as many other places. As more people get insurance, the problem is more noticeable. But which is better: expanded coverage with primary care delays, or being uninsured?<BR/><BR/>The state is taking steps in this area. They approved drugstore clinics, over the objections of the medical establishment and the mayor of Boston. Today, insurers announced they will cover the visits, with lower copays. A bill waiting final passage sets up loan forgiveness for primary care, increases the number of PAs a doc is allowed to supervise, and does some other things.<BR/><BR/>MA Health reform is doing what it was intended to do: expand coverage to the uninsured. There’s a lot more to do.

That Iran video is exactly the kind of thing we have to stop watching on a daily basis. Nobody (at least nobody that reads this) is new to the Iran-Isreal-Iraq-American conflicts. It's not the real news at all. It's a video with a bunch of liers that splits the issue into simple good vs. bad, America vs. Iran. There's no peaceful or positive tone in the video. Just war, missiles and controversy as if that's all this world is made of. And the posts immediately following this are also full of terror, bombs and liars. Just like the rest of the media.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, a blog headlining that Stockholm Jazz Festival and minimizing all the old shit we already know about would be fantastic and unique!WiddydiploMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276297808989312245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495563887923175838.post-62770157838940649312008-07-04T18:36:00.000-04:002008-07-04T18:36:00.000-04:00Hey bro,I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
