The New Hampshire Union Leader, April 23, 2012. While Obamacare risks being overturned by the Supreme Court, Vermont has pushed ahead with a primarily single-payer plan called Green Mountain Care, led by progressive governor Peter Shumlin.. In his op-ed of April 13, Vermonts single-payer health care is good medicine for NH, Fergus Cullen suggests that such developments would drive businesses across the Connecticut River into New Hampshire because new and higher taxes are coming to Vermonters, most likely on businesses. However, there is no historical evidence to support this premise, and in fact the reverse is more likely, as single-payer systems worldwide have been shown to be the least expensive overall for businesses and the society at large.. Our present employer-based health insurance system is an almost uniquely American creation, an accident of World War II, when employers compensated for wage freezes by offering this benefit. While other countries have ensured universal coverage and ...

Too bad Clinton failed to truly add up the numbers.. She argued that a respected health economist said such a system would cost a trillion dollars more per year. Her reference was likely pointing to Kenneth Thorpe, Emory University professor, who actually helped draft the single-payer system in Vermont, Sanders home state.. Clinton told Sanders that he needed level with people about what they will wind up receiving with a single-payer system, claiming that the numbers dont add up and people will be worse off than they are now.. Health experts disagree. They say Thorpe is working with incorrect calculations.. Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, a public health professor at City University of New York, says the numbers on single-payer do in fact add up. The professor, who is the co-founder of the Physicians for a National Health Program, also pointed to the fact that other countries have implemented single-payer systems that cover virtually everything, and still manage to do so at a lower cost than ...

Beyond the Affordable Care Act: A Physicians Proposal for Single-Payer Health Care Reform establishes the vision and principles that will empower Americans to replace our expensive, inadequate, and inefficient collection of health care systems with an improved Medicare for All.. The proposal outlines the general structure of a single-payer system for the United States, including coverage and eligibility; physician and outpatient care payment; global budgeting of hospitals; health planning and capital investments; coverage for medications, devices, and supplies; the establishment of a national long-term care program; cost-containment; and single-payer financing. The proposal also demonstrates the shortcomings of alternatives to National Health Insurance, including the Affordable Care Act... ...

Make the state the insurer / Achieve efficiencies with single-payer system for all Californians -- Duplication of administrative services among thousands of insurance companies and public programs. The Institute of Medicine, a government health adviser and private sector experts have concluded that we are suffering from an epidemic of sub-standard care. -- Linking health insurance and employment ties the fate of businesses to the vicissitudes of the health system and ties people to jobs even when they want to leave them. Health insurance, pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies set the price of their products in a way that make them unaffordable for millions of Californians. In addition to regular medical coverage, the plan includes dental, vision and pharmacy coverage with no deductibles or co-pays. The system would be headed by an elected health commissioner who would have budgetary authority, establish a state health care budget and wield an array of fiscal tools to control spending.

It is a big, big weekend. The health care vote is happening on Sunday and the process (that President Obama doesnt care about) has been so abused that the average person in America has no idea what is even happening. The Sunday vote would make changes to the Senate-passed bill while deeming the original legislation to have passed the House. Yes, forget the whole it has to pass both the House and the Senate thing in the Constitution. No, no - well just deem that it passed the House. Congress doesnt seem to mind the fact that Gallup shows their approval rating is the lowest ever: 16 percent. They dont care that 73 percent of America doesnt want this bill. So why are they pushing? Because radicals want this. Its just a pathway to a single-payer system. Jon Stewart did a segment making fun of me - that Im crazy, that Im wrong. It was very funny, but help me out, Jon: Where am I wrong? Nancy Pelosi said: We won that fight, and once we kick through this door, therell be more legislation ...

Polls have shown increasing public support for a single-payer system in the United States. Yet there is no agreement on how to set up and pay for a single-payer system or even how much it would cost.

Whatever happened to health care in the US? I assume that the insurance industry did not permit single-payer health care, but was the pressure on them enough that they eventually were overridden? Basically, what ends up happening is that Healthcare gets devolved to the States, so every state has a single-payer system for that State but theres no national single-payer system. Ultimately, America proves to be just too big to make it work on a national scale, but every state eventually works out a way to do it at home. As a result, you have two-tier healthcare: you have access to the single-payer system at home, or you can buy higher-end healthcare coverage from an insurance company. No idea when this transition happens, though. Sometime in the middle of the century, probably. ...

Health care experts say the prognosis is not good for California creating a single-payer health care system this year, even as fears grow over the impact of Republican federal lawmakers plans to gut the Affordable Care Act.. Gay state Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) and lesbian state Senator Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) last month introduced their Californians for a Healthy California Act (Senate Bill 562), which is backed by the California Nurses Association, to jumpstart the process of creating a universal health care system that would cover all 39 million Californians, including the estimated 3 million undocumented immigrants living in the state. They have yet to release a more detailed plan for how the state would achieve that goal but have pledged to do so in the weeks ahead.. Access to affordable and quality health care is not only critical, it should be a right for everyone in California, stated Atkins. In light of threats to the Affordable Care Act, its important that we look ...

A single-payer health insurance plan, which has been suggested by some lawmakers, would be disastrous for Americans, says healthcare policy expert Sally Pipes, president of the Pacific Research Institute.

Satisficing - a made-up word created by combining satisfactory and sufficient - indicates something good, but not great. Like the Canadian single-payer health system, like Medicare for All.

A survey of 1,003 doctors by recruitment firm Merritt Hawkins indicates that the concept of a single-payer health care system is a polarizing issue among physicians.

Al Gore told a crowd at Manhattan Community College on Tuesday that he would like to see a single-payer health care system implemented in the United States.

The 33rd Constitutional Convention of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union has gone on record urging Congress to enact HR 676, a bill introduced by Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) to implement a single-payer health care system in the U.S.

Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Lakewood) is delaying the progress of protecting and preserving the right to healthcare for all Californians. The Healthy California Act (SB 562) proposes that the state shifts to a single-payer system to provide all medically necessary care, including medical, vision, dental, hearing, and reproductive care to every Californian. The current political landscape has left us fighting to preserve the Affordable Care Act (ACA): the U.S. House of Representatives passed their replacement bill for the ACA on May 4, 2017, and the Senate version of the replacement bill is scheduled to be voted on after the July 4 recess. With federal uncertainty looming, it is increasingly crucial that the state of California moves forward to ensure healthcare for all.. The Healthy California Act was passed in the Senate on June 1, 2017, 23-14, led by Senators Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) and Toni Atkins (D-San Diego). Having gained momentum and read in the Assembly for the first time ...

Presidential candidates might consider proposing a health care reform package that relies on a single-payer system, if results of a |em|MedPage Today|/em| poll reflect the countrys mood.

As I read the spirited debate over whether Obamacare will drive health insurers out of business (here and here), I wonder if we need to bring the discussion back to fundamentals: The key problem with U.S health insurance is that there is too much of it - whether provided by private insurers or government.. Avik Roy and Rick Ungar disagree on the likely outcome of Obamacare: Private-insurance monopolies or government monopoly (a.k.a. single payer). I think both are correct. Private monopolies will arise (within each state or regions within larger states) to exploit the huge subsidies (tax credits) available through the so-called Health Benefits Exchanges.. But this will only persist for a few years. Today, the politicians supporting an increasingly shaky Obamacare must ensure that the health-insurance industry remains divided - some hoping to profit from Obamacares forthcoming monopolies and others fearing exclusion. This prevents them from coming together in a unified effort to repeal the ...

The head of the 185,000-member National Nurses United, one of the nations most progressive and politically active labor unions, says that while Democrats remain ineffective as Republicans charge ahead on repealing Obamacare, the one Im counting on the most is Trump to deliver real health care reform - in Medicare for all.

Democrats have suddenly swarmed to support single-payer insurance, setting aside risks involved in any re-do of the healthcare system.

From the very beginning, weve known that ObamaCare has been about one thing: implementing in the US a single payer health care system like those in Canada and the UK. The Democrats have denied it for some time. President Obama has said in the past and hes saying it again now that if you like your insurance plan you can keep it. This is not true.. Some of the most ardent critics of the bills in the House and Senate didnt like them because as far as they were concerned they didnt alter our current system radically enough. Members like Dennis Kucinich and Jan Shakowski have been up front about getting rid of our private health care system, the best in the world, and imposing a socialized, government run, single payer health care system.. ObamaCare is the path to that single payer system and its a pretty short walk, quite honestly. This is one way it might happen.. The bill the House that is supposed to come up for a vote this weekend will impose regulations on all health insurance companies ...

Fifty-eight percent of Americans favor the idea of Medicare-for-all, a form of providing universal health insurance, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Thursday.. The concept is supported by 81 percent of Democrats, while 63 percent of Republicans oppose it. Still, just 5 percent of Democrats say Medicare-for-all would be their most important factor when voting, according to the monthly survey.. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, is the only White House candidate who has endorsed a single-payer system.. The poll also found that 7 percent of uninsured respondents knew that the open enrollment period ends on Jan. 31, with 20 percent saying they had been contacted by someone about signing up for coverage in the past six months. Forty-six percent of the uninsured said they have tried to get coverage, but that it was too expensive.. As of last week, 4.17 million had signed up for coverage on the federal exchanges before the Dec. ...

A Canadian tech firm that has provided service to that countrys single-payer health care system is behind the glitch-ridden United States national health care exchange site healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is a subsidiary of Montreal-based CGI Group. With offices in Fairfax, Va., the subsidiary has been a darling of the Obama administration, which since 2009 has bestowed it with $1.4 billion in federal contracts, according to USAspending.gov. The CGI in the parent companys name stands for Conseillers en Gestion et Informatique in French, which roughly translates to Information Systems and Management Consultants. However, the firm offers another translation: Consultants to Government and Industry. The company is deeply embedded in Canada s single-payer system. CGI has provided IT services to the Canadian Ministries of Health in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Saskatchewan, as well as to the national health provider, Health Canada, according to CGIs Canadian ...

Why is this? No, it s not that Democrats are wimps. They re dive artists. Obama promised health care reform, but do he and his DLC inner circle actually want to weaken the stranglehold medical profiteers have on the public? Or do they just want to make a good show of losing the struggle?. The case for a single-payer system is rock solid and easy to explain. A single payer bill could be short enough to read in a few minutes in fact, there is a single-payer bill floating around (doomed by the too-liberal names Kucinich-Conyers), and it s a little over 4,000 words long. Instead, we have a bill that s over 1,000 pages long, written in typically inscrutable legalese, so dense and obscurantist that Republicans can assert nearly anything about it, from death panels to forcible sterilization, and say read the bill! with full knowledge that nobody will, nor could they understand it if they did.. Perhaps this explains Obama s complete failure to actually describe the plan, aside from painfully vague ...

Alexander Burns and Jennifer Medina report in The New York Times that At rallies and in town hall meetings, and in a collection of blue-state legislatures, liberal Democrats have pressed lawmakers, with growing impatience, to support the creation of a single-payer system, in which the state or federal government would

As I wrote earlier today, the expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare has come with all sorts of surprises and unintended (or perhaps intended) consequences. Medicaid expansion creates a two-tier medical delivery system that forces all but the most well-off into a single-payer system.

The horrifying specter of Trumpcare, the shortfalls of Obamacare and the continued rise in overall health care costs in the United States have provided an important opening for proponents to put single-payer back on the table. Attempts at creating a national health insurance scheme have come close but failed several times before in US history. However, while it is imperative to ensure that every American has equal access to quality care, single-payer is insufficient when it comes to ensuring our right to health and well-being. ...

Phil Castle, The Business Times. The Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce opposes a ballot measure that would implement a single-payer health insurance system in Colorado as a costly and risky plan that could hurt businesses and affect medical care.. The chamber hosted a meeting to outline its position on Amendment 69 and invited a hospital executive, business owner and retiree to voice their concerns.. Chamber officials also asked for help in campaigning against the measure in the upcoming election. Its going to take a pretty grass-roots effort to get the word out about what this really does, said Diane Schwenke, the president and chief executive officer of the chamber.. If approved, Amendment 69 would implement a comprehensive health care system funded by a payroll tax of 6.67 percent for employers and 3.33 percent for employees. Self-employed people would pay 10 percent of their net income. People would still choose their medical providers, but their bills would be paid by the so-called ...

Sen. Richard Blumenthal will support Sen. Bernie Sanders' single-payer health care bill, but Sen. Chris Murphy is taking a different approach.

December 27, 2014 Hartford Courant The suggestions in Consumer Reports: How to navigate the health insurance maze published on December 22 are well-intentioned by that magazine's editors I am sure and that some people may find them helpful. I have doubts however, that the majority of people person looking for health insurance will understand all the nuances contained in the nine proposals. As a physician I had trouble, and I finally gave up. Young people just starting out in life or young couples starting a family, are challenged enough; they don't need the added stress of finding out after an ...

There is hope elsewhere, however. Rather than put your faith in government to manage health care - a government that cant even manage to run the Post Office, Amtrak or DMVs without chaos ensuing - Americans should put their trust in each other.. Yes, the health care system that existed prior to Obamacare was a disaster and in desperate need of reform. It had become a crony-capitalist market full of unfair rules, regulations, and greed. But replacing the failures of the previous system with the current, much-worse model was the wrong way to go.. We need more freedom in health care, not less, and there are several ways this can be accomplished. Perhaps the most important is to move away from a model that makes everyone dependent on insurance companies for every health care service they get.. When you get an oil change, you dont pay using your car insurance, so why would you use insurance when getting a check-up with your primary care doctor? This is a huge part of the problem, because insurance ...

I am a firm supporter of the New York Health Act, which would provide universal health coverage for all New Yorkers. Unfortunately, as last session came to a close, this important piece of legislation was one vote short of having the ability to pass the senate. In my leadership position, I was asked to make a promise to shed light on the benefits of single-payer health care by having a senate hearing on this bill. I remain committed to doing so.. The benefits to having a hearing on this important issue in the senate is two-fold. First, as previously stated, last session, we were one vote short of having the requisite votes needed to pass the New York Health Act. This January, we will be short two votes, and potentially more. By holding a hearing in the state senate, we can educate all state senators on the benefits of single-payer health care for New York.. Read the full letter at the Riverdale Press here.. ...

The bill language is similar to that embodied in Section 1557 of the ACA, which had generated a regulatory scheme that undermines conscience protections in health care delivery.[REF] The bills language, however, is broader and more direct.[REF] It provides HHS with broad authority to change or modify the national benefits package. In the absence of conscience protections-combined with a reigning assumption that federal officials government-approved morality automatically trumps the moral, ethical, or religious convictions of physicians and patients- the provision invites even greater cultural and political polarization. It is reasonable to assume that the government health plan could require medical professionals to participate in a number of practices to which they would have profound moral or religious objections, including abortion, the provision of abortifacients, gender-reassignment surgeries, and even physician-assisted suicide, which is being aggressively promoted as an appropriate ...

Executive Summary:. The health care system in the United States is better described as a non-system of expensive illness intervention that covers too few and costs too much. The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee access to health care for all, yet we spend twice as much on health care as any other nation. Our high spending does not buy good health outcomes, as the U.S. ranks poorly in all basic indicators of health when compared to other industrialized countries. ...

The California Nurses Association says it will push to revive Senate Bill 562, the Healthy California Act. Nurses recently rallied outside of the state capitol to urge Rendon to move the bill ahead.. The bill would effectively take away the health coverage that Californians currently have - including Medicare and Medi-Cal - and replace it with a single government-run plan for all residents. The state government would decide which procedures and drugs to cover.. The plan wouldnt charge premiums, deductibles or co-pays - but it would still cost a fortune. According to an analysis by the state Senates Appropriations Committee, the bill would cost $400 billion a year.. Of that, $200 billion would supposedly come from repurposing federal dollars earmarked for programs like Medicare and Medi-Cal. The remaining $200 billion would come from state funds. Californias government currently spends around $183 billion a year. So, SB 562 would more than double the state budget.. The bill contains few ...

So as Murphy would have it, there was a cracked glass that broke and sliced my little finger open. OUCH! I got my husband and got into the bathroom for first aid, but the cut was too deep. We did the responsible thing and went to the emergency room. (At that late hour, there is no urgent-care clinic open in Topeka.) In about an hour, I had

Many people move to Vermont in search of a slower pace; Dr. Deb Richter came in 1999 to work obsessively toward a far-fetched goal.. She wanted Vermont to become the first state to adopt a single-payer health care system, run and paid for by the government, with every resident eligible for a uniform benefit package. So Dr. Richter, a buoyant primary care doctor from Buffalo who had given up on New Yorks embracing such a system, started lining up speaking engagements and meeting with lawmakers, whom she found more accessible than their New York counterparts.. ...

For 25 years Ive been saying that I wished a little state like Vermont would implement a single-payer Canadian-style health insurance system--Medicare For All. My argument has always been that such a small and limited experiment would give us the opportunity to see the ideological arguments for such a system play out in the face of fiscal reality and the stakeholders fighting it out in the political arena over who would get the money. The rest of the country would be able to learn a lot from it ...

Background. Initiative 20 got on the 2016 Ballot as Amendment 69. It was authored by Irene Aguilar, M.D. who is a Democratic member of the Colorado Senate and a primary care physician. A similar attempt to migrate a state to a single payer system was tried recently in Vermont. Vermonts Bill went through the State House and Senate. It was signed by the Governor in May 2011. In December 2014, Vermonts Governor retracted his backing of the single payer program due to a lack of clear funding and the negative effect of the taxes on businesses. Vermonts single payer healthcare law, although passed and enacted, has essentially been abandoned. Similar to Amendment 69, Vermonts Act 48 purported to integrate workers compensation medical benefits into a universal healthcare system.. Overview. Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) allows a state to obtain a waiver from the ACA, if the state sets up a system that provides the same level of coverage. Amendment 69 creates a single-payer system for ...

Benz, Im not sure I understand your last comment. I am in favor of a single-payer system which cuts out insurance companies, I think that would solve the problem, but unfortunately we are stuck with an insurance based medical system for the foreseeable future.. Health care without insurance is cost-prohibitive to even people who make good solid upper middle class salaries.. Should companies also be able to dictate what their employees use their paychecks for? What they do on weekends?. Insurance coverage is part of a persons overall compensation package - it is negotiated up-front and is given to employees as part of an overall compensation package along with their salary and bonus schedule.. In fact, salaries are often tailored with these benefits in mind.. Should Hobby Lobby be able to tell people they cant use their bonuses to donate to Planned Parenthood?. An employees compensation - be it their health insurance, life insurance, bonus, all that is the EMPLOYEES compensation and there ...

Ill spare you all the laundry list of things Idve liked to see in the bill that arent there. But anyone who tells you that this bill doesnt do any good is lying, misinformed, or both. To those on the right, this aint socialism, and even if it was, our most successful health care system here in America, Medicare, is a single-payer system. Just about everybody whos got it thinks its just great, and you maybe ought to take that into consideration before you keep spouting off about government encroachment on health care. To those on the left, you maybe didnt get everything you wanted this Christmas, but love it or hate it, politics is the art of the possible, and the one thing that was not acceptable was a continuation of the status quo. Im not fully satisfied either, but the solution is not to take your bat and your ball and go home, thinking that somehow itll work out better next go round. The solution is to keep up the pressure on lawmakers and to keep making the argument that the ...

Dont tell anyone, but American conservatives will soon be embracing single-payer healthcare, or some other form of socialized healthcare. Yes, thats a bold claim given that a GOP-controlled Congress and President are poised to un-socialize a great deal of healthcare, and may even pull it off. But within five years, plenty of Republicans will be loudly supporting or quietly assenting to universal Medicare. And thats a good thing, because socializing healthcare is the only demonstrably effective way to control costs and cover everyone. It results in a healthier country and it saves a ton of money.. That may seem offensively counterintuitive. Its generally assumed that universal healthcare will by definition cost more.. In fact, in every first-world nation that has socialized medicine-whether it be a heavily regulated multi-insurer system like Germany, single-payer like Canada, or a purely socialized system like the United Kingdom--it costs less. A lot, lot less, in fact: While healthcare eats ...

So much attention in recent years has been spent on how to deliver a cheaper and more efficient health care benefit to Vermonters. Pharmacy costs have been largely overlooked. Fights over single-payer, broken exchanges and The ACA, Obama-Care, Romney-Care, I dont care … all have been central to the ongoing fight over health care access. They have been central on a national level, and central to our politics here on the state level, with the Lewin report and Gov. Peter Shumlins single-payer November betrayal.. Maybe there are sexier policy issues, but be clear; Mylan has a significant footprint in Vermont, with locations in both St. Albans and Essex. This Mylan episode is very much a made-in-Vermont story and it demands that we not lose track of the toll pharma plays in our daily lives.

The reason he could not get an answer to this very simple question is that it is stupid. It is a non-sequitur. It is, as Ayn Rand used to warn, a statist trying to force the argument to conform to his statist assumptions.. Lets take a different example, because medicine is so screwed up by government intervention that it can be confusing. Lets imagine ourselves in the computer market in 1974. The market is dominated by IBM mainframes, and innovation at the time was considered to be the penetration of mini computers (not to be confused with PCs, these were really just smaller mainframes) by DEC and HP.. Lets say that for some reason the US government decides it is fed up with the IBM monopoly and the high cost of mainframe computing and it wants to take over. It feels like there is a lot of waste in mainframes as some people are using them for frivolous reasons while other companies who really need them cant afford them. They might have created review boards to make sure that they thought ...

Chronic chlorpyrifos exposure in utero is associated with changes in social behavior, brain development, and developmental delays.[5] A long-term Columbia University study following children born before and after a ban on in-home use of chlorpyrifos took effect found that the children born before the ban had much higher exposure levels, tended to be smaller, have poorer reflexes, and weigh less.[6] Toddlers with higher exposures were behind in both motor and mental development by age three. They were also greater than five times more likely to be on the autism spectrum, greater than six times more likely to have ADHD-type symptoms, and greater than 11 times more likely to have symptoms of other attention disorders.[7] The Columbia study[8] and similar long-term studies conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City[9] found lower IQs for children with prenatal chlorpyrifos exposure ...

The purpose of a Servicing Master Plan is to identify long range plans which integrate infrastructure requirements for existing and future land use with environmental assessment planning principles. These plans examine an infrastructure system, or group of related projects, to outline a framework for planning for subsequent projects and/or developments.. Master planning provides the Township with a broad framework through which the need and justification for specific projects can be established such that the environmental assessment process can be satisfied when development occurs.. A completed Master Plan would provide a system-wide approach to infrastructure planning to allow for proper drainage when development occurs within the Study Area. The work is to focus on optimizing each system to best service existing customers, and expand the systems to service future growth upon applications for development.. ...

It looks like House Republicans are going to deal with outrage over their perennial problem child Marjorie Taylor Greene by finding a Democrat to punish. That would be Minnesotas Ilhan Omar, according to Politicos Huddle:. I think that Ilan should receive the same type of punishment as Marjorie because if its good for one, it is good for another, Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.), who voted to remove Greene from her committees, told me. Anti-semitism is the same thing as anti-semitism. Its just that Nancy is afraid …. There are others who want to push for Omars removal as well as those looking to censure her over her war crimes remarks - and a few Dems may join them.. The idea of equating Omars complaints about unequal treatment of countries in investigating military misconduct with Greenes comparisons of mask and vaccine requirements to the Holocaust is deeply satisfying to a lot of people. Republicans can continue their now-ancient habit of waving away extremism in their ranks by ...

Keidanren announced a Master Plan for Recovery from the Disaster and Creation of a New Japan on May 27.. It is vital to go forward with the disaster restoration based upon a clear blueprint and with the utmost speed even in the very early stage of the rehabilitation operation. What must be done must be done and there is no time to lose. All one nation, the central and local government, private companies and all the people need to work hard together with great determination and strong commitment that they never shrink from hardship ahead and share pains.. The policy paper urges the Japanese government to immediately establish an entity with strong leadership that keeps various restoration activities under its firm and sole control. The damaged regions need to be designated as a single Special Zone for Disaster Restoration where drastic special policy measures are taken to bring out the best. With the help of an effective framework for Public Private Partnership, business community is willing ...

The University of Queensland is assessing community submissions regarding its draft master plan, which was released for public feedback in early April.. We appreciate the feedback which is the purpose of the consultation.. The feedback will be used to refine the draft master plan before it is submitted to the University Senate.. The process has allowed the public to voice their concerns, and has also revealed some misunderstandings about parking, retail outlets and transport.. Interpretations that UQ is planning a drastic increase in car parking on campus are incorrect.. There will be very limited overall expansion to car parking and associated traffic impacts.. The University has completed traffic management studies associated with the master plan.. Under the current master plan, the cap for parks at St Lucia Campus is 6000.. Ten years ago the university had 6000 car parks, but over time this has reduced to about 5000. While we will build some new carparks there are no current plans to even ...

The Aogu Wetland and Forest Park is zoned with the idea of green gradient. The park is planned for more environmental diversity, with strict and higher protection guidelines from east to west sides of the site. The park can be divided into three major parks. From west to east are Don-Shi Park, Don-Shi Park and Xi-Zi-Xia Park sequentially. Don-Shi Park has the highest diversity and is the core for conservation. The plan is to alter the artificial channel to natural waterways and various wetlands for restoring the most possible rainfall runoff during the wet season and purifying all available disposals to support the emerging diverse habitats. Aogu Park has a small village (300 people) in its center. This park acts as a Wise Use Area in the master plan. People living in this area can practice their fishing farm in a sustainable way, and use this area as a center for outdoor education. A ring-wetland system will be connected through created waterways around the village to protect it from flooding ...

Additional parking also would be provided.. Students would continue their relationship with the Commons throughout their SMU years through activities sponsored by the Commons, giving them an ongoing campus connection even if they live off-campus in their final years. The plan is to adapt most existing halls as Residential Commons. Under guidelines to be developed, students living in Greek houses their second year would ...

Hi, my name is ____________. I am calling to voice my strong opposition to repealing the Affordable Care Act. In fact, I believe that single payer is the only option that will both provide universal coverage, and contain skyrocketing healthcare costs. The majority of Americans and physicians support a national health insurance program like improved Medicare for everyone. The proposed GOP Care which involves a repeal of the ACA and letting market forces determine care is unconscionable and unacceptable. I urge Representative/Senator ___________ to support Medicare for All ...

by Ross Eisenbrey When the Clinton administration tackled health care reform in 1993, Canadas national health care system-which operates without a private insurance industry-was held up as a model by progressives and a disaster by conservatives. The United States rejected any positive lessons from the Canadian single-payer model in 1993, and we are living with the results of that decision today. As the chart below reveals, the cost gap between the United States and Canada has only widened since 1993, and per capita health care expenditures in the United States are now almost double those in Canada ($6,401 vs. $3,359). Canadas per capita health expenditures rose about 65% from 1993 to 2005, while costs in the United States rose by over 90%. ...

The method a country chooses to fund and deliver health care demonstrates the values of its citizens and the type of nation that they wish to live in. Canadians, through their elected representatives, have placed a high value on a single-payer, tax-financed health care system with a delivery system that is essentially private and not-for-profit. The principles providing the underpinnings of the system are embodied in the Canada Health Act (CHA) and include the following: universality, comprehensiveness, access, portability and public administration. Since the passing of the CHA, Canadians have grown increasingly passionate about these principles and have demonstrated time and again that these principles are in close alignment with their values. Canadians have chosen tax-based financing for their health care system as it relates to hospital and physician services. The provincial and federal governments, through federal government transfers such as equalization payments and the Canada Health and ...
