ObamaCare Stubs Toe On Catholics
The new change in the Health Care Reform package, that removes the exemption religious organizations had with respect to providing birth control as part of their employee health insurance plans, has angered many in the small Democratic block that helped pass the health care reform bill. Previously church organizations were allowed to exclude any benefits that were against the religious beliefs of the organization, but the new rules do away with that exemption.
Many religious schools, non-profits, and hospitals will now have to provide health services that go against their beliefs. This has caused many to indicate they may decide to drop health care plans for their employees instead of following the new rules.
Oh what a fickle web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Oh well, stay tuned to see what happens next.

Congressional Republicans Working New Health Care Reform Package
Congressional republicans have not given up on getting Obama's Affordable Care Act repealed or at least rendered in operative. Republicans have started working on a new version of health care reform to replace the ACA, which they feel is very flawed. The details of the new Republican plan are not worked out yet, but word has it that medical liability reform and allowing health insurance companies to sell policies across state borders are part of outline the Republicans are working on.
Stay tuned for more details.

New Single Payer Health Plan For California?
The California Senate is working on a revamped version of a single payer health plan for all Californians. The estimated cost of the plan is $210 billion, more than 2 times the size of the entire state budget for 2011. This sounds like a program that is busted before it even starts because there is NO WAY to pay for the cost of the plan.
However, cost and not having the money has never slowed down the California government in the past, so why should now be any different. Even though the state is struggling with ongoing budget deficits, state Senators think they can find twice as much as they currently have for just a single program. Good Luck with that!
Stay tuned for more.

Health Insurance And "The Law Of Large Numbers"
Insurance companies know that a small percentage of people will get cancer each year. What they don't know is who will get it. The law of large numbers says that an insurance company can accurately control their risk by insuring as large a pool of people as possible. The larger the pool is, the better their prediction will be regarding how many people in the pool will have any specific health issue, so the better they can predict their expenses and keep costs lower.
This is the reason why the health insurance mandate is needed. By spreading the risk of expensive health problems across a larger number of people, the cost for each person is kept lower.

Majority of Americans Don't Like Health Care Mandate
In a new Kaiser Health Tracking Poll, a majority of the participants did not like the mandate which would require everyone to have health insurance. The poll showed that 67% did not want the mandate, and 54% want the Supreme Court to strike down that provision of the Affordable Care Act.
What this tells me is that the industry needs to better explain the reason why the mandate is the only way to prevent health care costs from spiraling out of control when health care reform kicks takes effect in 2014. Americans don't seem to understand the "law of numbers" concept that rules all insurance products like home insurance, liability insurance, and of course, health insurance.
Stay tuned for more details.
