Why is Healthcare Reform Losing Popularity
August 28, 2009
Deficit Plays into Health Reform | www.washingtonpost.com
The polls are showing healthcare reform is losing its support on main street. The country is realizing the cost of universal coverage is going to be high, and the national debt and annual budget deficits are at unbelievably high levels even without health care reform. The consequences of healthcare reform are either the deficit will grow more, or shortages will develop with the healthcare industry. What does the future for taxpayers, patients, and providers look like?

Why GE is investing in Global Healthcare - getting a jump on new technologies
July 27, 2009
GE to invest $6 billion in healthcare globally | www.business-standard.com
GE sees a huge global market for advanced healthcare delivery systems as increasing demand for improved healthcare exceeds today's delivery systems. Asia will be on the leading edge of this trend since they have growing populations and inadequate delivery systems. GE wants to be ahead of competitors such Phillips Medical and Siemens, who are cautiously looking at this area. However, in a down economy, it is often the company that acts boldly that captures the market.

July 15, 2009
Hospitals accept deal that would cut reimbursement | www.modernhealthcare.com
Healthcare Reform, Where are we, how will the Federal Government pay for it, what does it mean for hospitals, and what does it mean in the long run? Congress is under pressure to develop a healthcare reform bill, which makes me nervous. The issues of Tort Reform and sustainable payments to providers need to be addressed in order for the healthcare reform to be a long term success.

Presdient Obama creates health reform office | fcw.com
President Obama has no concept how to manage the change needed in the Healthcare arena. He has brought together some IVY League Doctors who live in Federally funded boxes. The real US healthcare dilema still exists simply because they have no clue how to fix it. Politics will not make a dent in the problem. We all know that the government has always been the problem. Lets do one thing right. Start with "IT" make every note and move available to all healthcare providers so we can be of real service to the patient and have the best of all worlds, real information garnered from all providers involved not just the select few.

Wockdardt needed cash Yesterday!!!
June 10, 2009
Wockhardt may sell 2-3 hospitals to Fortis | www.topnews.in
Wockhardt had borrowed more than it can repay keeping in mind the pharma business cycles!!! They made a few acquisitions in 2005 - 2007 time frame which did not yield results upto their expectations. They need to pay their creditors, interests cost has gone up. Currently the only logically viable options seems hospitals. They might be able to pay off their creditors but will loose some good future business prospects.

Good medical care as good as angioplasty for stable coronary artery disease

A Randomized Trial of Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease | content.nejm.org
BARI 2D showed equivalant 5 year survival rates when patients with chest pain and had a cath showing atherosclerosis suitable for intervention but then given medical care instead (Diabetes, cholesterol, Blood pressure). As medical care will need to be done anyway after a procedure, this saves the entire cost of the procedure (commonly $25,000 to $50,000) with no net cost of life to the patient.

It Will Be a great Christmas for Managed Care Companies
June 4, 2009
Health Plans Would Add to Controls on Insurers | www.nytimes.com
1. Managed care companies are regulated by 50 state governments, ofgten by more than one agency. Having the Federal government promulgate one standard with regulation by one Department makes compliance a much easier task for managed care companies. 2. Established managed care companies do not want regulation too easy or new entities will enter the field to compete. The projected intense Federal regulations will keep out new competition. 3. Employer-based coverage is no longer profitable for managed care plans. The providers are free to charge anything, and employers with healthy populations are going self insured leaving the sick to manaaged care risk programs. "Reform" will managed care plans more customers, abolish the inequity between insured and self insured programs, and limit provider reimbursement.
