The Effects of ObamaCare, Unintended Consequences of Health Care Reform / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: John_Mauldin

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWhat will be the effects of ObamaCare? My friend Lisa Cummings, an expert on employee benefits (she was one of the first employees at Dell and was a senior exec at Wal-Mart), has analyzed the bill; and from what she tells me it appears to be one big pile of unintended consequences and costs. It will be far cheaper for an employer to simply pay the $2,000 fine and pay for the employee to enroll in the government health exchange program, which of course puts more cost on the taxpayer. Behind the curtain of wonderful and laudable objectives is a mountain of regulations and costs. But that is what is coming. I asked Lisa to give me a written report on just the more important changes and costs, and that is your Outside the Box reading today.

Sernova Tackles Diabetes Cure / Companies / Healthcare Sector

By: Richard_Mills

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePeople with insulin-dependent diabetes (all of type-1 and about 27 percent of type-2 diabetics) lack the necessary amount of insulin in their bloodstreams. This can and often does lead to irreversible damage to their hearts, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, skin, feet and hearing. In individuals taking insulin injections to reduce blood sugar levels severe hypoglycemia can cause organ failure and death.

Health Care Industry is all About Maximising Profit / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: Pravda

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOnce upon a time in America, people became doctors and nurses because they wanted to help people, building hospitals was a labor of love, lawyers didn't chase ambulances, health insurance companies did not openly abuse their customers and greedy pharmaceutical companies did not dominate the entire health care industry. But today all of that has changed. Why do most people choose a career in the health care industry today? It is because they want to make a lot of money and live a comfortable lifestyle.

America’s Healthcare Mafia Strikes Again / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: Mike_Stathis

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDid you get a raise in 2009? 

CEOs of the nation’s largest health insurers most certainly did; CIGNA, UnitedHealth, Humana and Wellpoint. In fact, as a reward for many years of excessive hikes to insurance premiums executed under his leadership, Edward Hanway, the former CEO of CIGNA was provided with a retirement package worth $110.9 million, paid for by the excessive and unnecessarily high insurance premiums billed to CIGNA’s policy holders.

Nurses are Right about the Problem, but Wrong about the Solution / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: Mike_Stathis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLast week, more than 14,000 nurses from Minnesota hospitals staged a 1-day walk-out as a sign of protest over excessive patient loads.   

The nurses are right about staffing shortages and overloaded responsibilities.

However, their solution – hiring more nurses will add further costs pressures to America’s unsustainable healthcare bubble.

Health Care Sector, the Ultimate Hedge in Economic Crisis / Stock-Markets / Healthcare Sector

By: John_Mauldin

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThis week we have a really counter-intuitive Outside the Box. I was talking with the editor of Breakthrough Technology Alert, Patrick Cox about health care costs and he made some very interesting observations from new research about health care. It seems healthy people pay more for health care than sick people. I asked him to do a write-up for us. Despite the new health care bill that passed, health care costs are going to go up, not down. And that's a good thing, as Pat explains. You really want to read this.

Put Patients and Doctors Back in Control of Healthcare / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: Dr_Ron_Paul

Most everyone agrees that health care in the United States has major problems, the biggest problems relating to skyrocketing costs. No one doubts the system is in need of reform. However, too many in Washington see tighter government controls as the solution. In fact, the problems are rooted in past government controls that created more problems than they solved.

What's Really Wrong with the U.S. Health Care Industry / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: Vijay_Boyapati

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOn May 3, 2010, I gave a talk to a class of students studying public health policy at the University of Washington. I began the talk by asking the students how many of them believed that the current healthcare system in America was flawed; everyone in the class raised their hand. I then asked how many of them believed that the recently passed healthcare legislation, supported by President Obama, was a step in the right direction in reforming America's healthcare system. Once again, everyone raised their hand.

An Update On Philip Morris: Earnings, Buybacks, Dividends / Companies / Healthcare Sector

By: Kevin_Duffey

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePM Earnings - Philip Morris International, Inc. (PM) reported earnings and scored a “miss” according to most analysts.  I typically could care less about whether it was a “beat” or “miss” so that’s all I’m going to say about that.  The bottom line is that PM has reiterated that it is on track to achieve earnings growth of at least 10% and bring in EPS of $3.75 to $3.85 for 2010.  Based on 2010 EPS of $3.75, a $50 stock price means a price-to-earnings ratio of 13.3.

ObamaCare: Soon to be the Worst Bill Passed in U.S. History (Part 1) / Politics / Healthcare Sector

By: Mike_Stathis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWith Obama’s healthcare bill ready to sign, democrats are celebrating. Meanwhile, (supposedly) enraged republicans insist payback will come in November. This is part of the typical back-and-forth theatrics staged to galvanize voter support for each party. Please do not allow yourself to be fooled by these games. As the facts show, both parties are essentially the same when it comes to issues that matter most to working-class Americans; free trade and healthcare, as first detailed in America’s Financial Apocalypse.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAt my annual check-up, my doctor handed me a sheet explaining the reasons for office fee increases for Medicare Patients. It is worth reporting at length.

Medicare fixes the prices for Medicare patients’ health care. All office charges for Medicare, including office visit charges, have been set by the Federal government since 1984. In real terms (adjusted for inflation), these fixed prices are less today than they were three decades ago.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLeo Panitch and Colin Leys have just brought out the 2010 annual volume of the Socialist Register, Morbid Symptoms: Health Under Capitalism, published by Merlin Press in London, Monthly Review Press in the U.S. and Fernwood Books in Canada. The book provides a path-breaking assessment of health under capitalism, providing a systematic account of the antagonistic relationship between capitalism and human bodies, of how modern healthcare has been deeply penetrated by neoliberal capitalism, and the ways in which healthcare workers, activists and socialists are struggling and pursuing alternative paths of solidarity in human health.
