Reform Would Tackle Fiscal Challenges Head-On, Save As Much as $20 Billion over the Next 30 Years. BOSTON - Friday, January 11, 2013 - Governor Deval Patrick today announced plans to file legislation to reform health insurance benefits for retirees that would save as much as $20 billion for the Commonwealth and municipalities over the next 30 years. Todays announcement builds on the Governors record of reform and his Administrations commitment to fiscal responsibility for the long-run.. We have worked hard to make government work better, said Governor Patrick. With this reform, we create a benefit system that is both fair and sustainable.. The legislation would be based on recommendations included in todays report released by the Commission to Study Retiree Healthcare and Other Non-Pension Benefits (OPEB). The pension reform bill, signed November 2011, established the Commission to investigate and study retiree healthcare and other non-pension benefits. Membership includes Republican and ...

Anyway, yes the elected coverage IS backdated **BUT** you DO have to pay for the gap with your first premium. In the example above, if my last day was October 12, and my monthly premium was determined to be $500, and I waited 59 days and then elected to proceed, my first premium would be for my first month (January) AND the 2 months since my employer-paid coverage ended effective November 1 - so I would have to initially pay $1500, and then $500 each month afterward as long as I wish to keep it - even if I had no health-related incidents. Unfortunately insurance must be paid whether you ever use it or not, and COBRA is no exception - there is no free 2-month COBRA ride. If you end up in the hospital on November 20, you would not be covered unless you still proceeded to elect coverage before January and paid the gap in full. If, after being in the hospital and then deciding on day 59 NOT to elect COBRA (and back-pay the gap) then you are considered uninsured and you would be solely responsible ...

While the decarbonization of the global economy will bring immense benefits in the aggregate and to many individuals, it will also be disruptive and costly for some, at least in the short term. As these disruptions and costs have become increasingly salient in recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in the climate policy community about how low-carbon transitions can be implemented justly, equitably, and politically smoothly. A key part of what is needed in responding to this growing interest is a better understanding of the suite of transitional assistance policies and strategies that can be deployed, alongside or as part of climate change mitigation policies and processes. Responding to this need, we survey a wide, multi-disciplinary literature to answer the who, what and how of transitional assistance policy: who is likely to be adversely affected by the low-carbon transition, and in what ways? What substantive strategies and policy instruments are available to ...

Downloadable! In this paper, I examine the impact of employer-provided health benefits on job turnover. Because many employer-provided plans extend coverage to a workers entire family, the value of an employers employment offer to a worker depends on whether the workers spouse provides the family with health benefits. If a workers spouse has an employer-provided health insurance for their family, the worker will value employment offers with and without health insurance benefits differently than a worker whose spouse does not have employer-provided health benefits. Importantly, this distortion arises from the reliance on employer-provided benefits and is independent of any pre-existing conditions clauses or issues concerning the portability of health plans. The estimates suggest that spouse-provided benefits substantially increase the likelihood of turnover.

To the Editors: The recent debate about human immunodeficiency virus (HlV)-infected health care workers has overlooked the particular problems facing those medical students, residents, and fellows who are at great risk of acquiring nosocomial HIV infection. These persons are on the front lines, doing many invasive procedures (blood draws, intravenous insertion, paracentesis, lumbar puncture, and so forth), often in hurried and stressful circumstances. Whereas staff and attending physicians for the most part have disability and longterm health insurance, medical students, residents, and fellows have no or limited disability insurance and marginal long-term health insurance benefits..

ASU communicated with its 767 employees on future job loss, although its not clear how many positions will be cut through direct layoff or contract non-renewal. SAISD is playing the same word game.

The spinoff will smack Shannons payor mix. Watch self pays rise from 8.9% to what, 12%, 15% of patients? Thats another $9 million to $18 million hit.

by Karen Hamrick. During 1995-97, 3.4 million workers were displaced from their jobs, of whom 500,000 (15 percent) were nonmetro workers. This report examines the displaced workers experience in metro and nonmetro areas using survey and administrative data. Although nonmetro workers were less likely to be displaced than metro workers, they had a lower probability of finding employment after losing their jobs. Nonmetro workers were less likely to be covered by legislation providing advance notice of job loss and providing retirement and health insurance benefits after being laid off. A variety of programs are available to assist displaced workers in nonmetro areas..

A pre-existing condition is an illness or condition for which, in the opinion of a medical practitioner appointed by Westfund, signs and symptoms existed during 6 months before the date you joined Westfund or upgraded to a higher level of cover. A 12 month waiting period applies to all new members for hospital costs relating to the treatment of pre-existing conditions.. Should you wish to claim a benefit for hospital treatment before this period ends, you will need to ask your certified medical practitioner to complete the Medical Practitioner Certificate regarding Pre-Existing Ailments form. This certificate helps Westfund determine the level of health insurance benefits that will apply when hospitalisation is required for members who have been with Westfund for less than 12 months. Once this period is over you are entitled to the full benefits available under your policy.. ...

Achuthan v. Achuthan, 2016-12655; 2018-05634. The plaintiff appealed from a judgment of divorce of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Reilly, J.), dated October 21, 2016 which, inter alia, directed the plaintiff to pay maintenance to defendant of $2,000 per month for ten years, and distributed the marital property 51% to defendant and 49% to plaintiff. At the time of trial, the plaintiff and the defendant were approximately 80 years old and 71 years old, respectively. The lower court reasoned that [s]ome additional assets were distributed to the defendant as an adjustment for the loss of health insurance benefits.. Plaintiff also appeals from an Order dated March 16, 2018 which denied his motion to vacate his maintenance obligation and award him 60% of the marital assets, based on newly discovered evidence. After the entry of judgment, the plaintiff was notified that the value of the marital portion of his retirement account which TIAA-CREF had previously provided, and which was stipulated at ...

Our grand bunch of commissioners got together the other day and in a closed meeting, unamimously voted themselves a very generous health insurance benefit. The plan was included in the county personnel manual by commissioners Godwin, McKenzie and Jacobs. The News Reporter stated that they requested a copy of the manual before the vote, but that county Manager Jim Varner wouldnt allow. After the benefit was made public, some of the commissioners said that they thought it was a grand idea, that their constituents would want them to have this token of appreciation, other counties have similar benefits, I didnt know it was in there and no comment. Board rebel James Prevatte, stated that he didnt read the manual word for word and must have overlooked that section. Everyone Ive spoken with has said that that was no excuse and wondered what else he might have overlooked since taking office ...

Downloadable! This paper constructs a dynamic model of health insurance to evaluate the short- and long run effects of policies that prevent firms from conditioning wages on health conditions of their workers, and that prevent health insurance companies from charging individuals with adverse health conditions higher insurance premia. Our study is motivated by recent US legislation that has tightened regulations on wage discrimination against workers with poorer health status (Americans with Disability Act of 2009, ADA, and ADA Amendments Act of 2008, ADAAA) and that will prohibit health insurance companies from charging different premiums for workers of different health status starting in 2014 (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, PPACA). In the model, a trade-off arises between the static gains from better insurance against poor health induced by these policies and their adverse dynamic incentive effects on household efforts to lead a healthy life. Using household panel data from the PSID we
