President Obama has a new tactic when it comes to the heated health insurancereform, his wife Michelle. Michelle has started to become more involved with the public appearance and is weighing in on the health care issue by focusing on how not having health care can affect families across the US. She is putting a personal and human face on the issue. By doing this it tends to humanize and personalize the debate and it allows people to relate better, especially those who have been kicking and screaming in fear that the government is taking over. Do you agree by putting a face to the health insurance debate will help people be more receptive?

Health insurance pays for medical homes

What exactly is a Medical Home? When President Obama and the Democrats discuss changing the heal care industry the term medical home is brought up frequently. A Medical home is an idea to reinvent primary care doctors and medicine by rewarding doctors and hospitals that practice and promote preventative care. According to a panel of medical experts a medical home is not an actual place but rather a solution to our health care problems. Nowadays under our existing health care system doctors see as many patients as humanly possible in one day and invoice the health insurance company as much as they can per patient. How would things differ if doctors saw fewer patients per day and focused on quality and wellness rather than the acute illness and in return the doctors got paid extra?

Should there be a standardized insurance program?

Everyone wants to know why the pressure for the reform seems so imperative this year. According to sources Obama’s administration is trying to capitalize on the President’s popularity before it dissipates.

A rising problem in the US is obesity. This disease is not only extremely dangerous it is very expensive. According to a new study medical spending averages $1,500 more per year for an obese person than a person with normal weight. This study proves that the overall obesity related to health care spending reaches $150 billion; this is twice as much than a decade ago. How will this affect the new health insurance plan? The higher medical expenses are paying for the treatment of the side effects of obesity such as diabetes and heart disease.

Obama is suggesting handing over the authority to a medical advisory council to help choose the amount of coverage that

The Obama direction is suggesting an interesting proposal to give a medical advisory council the authority to help choose the scope of coverage that would be appropriate for reimbursement under Medicare.

Administration officials say that this council would make health care quality better and control health insurance costs. But some health care industry assemblies object to the suggestion. They state that this particular council would not be qualified to make those types of decisions.

This council would be made up of of doctors and health care experts who make suggestions based on collected data and analysis of the best health care practices.

They believe the approach would improve care and get rid of some unnecessary spending by doctors who are now paid separately for each visit and procedure. Instead, this council could suggest, an inclusive approach to treat a patient with chronic condition.

The council’s recommendations would then go to the commission overseeing Medicare to determine the specific procedures and the actual reimbursement amount. What do you think? Will this medical advisory council work to help the insurance reform?
