Children's Health-
One
Step Forward, One Step Back-Children's Health Coverage after CHIP and
Welfare Reform A
look at children's enrollment in Medicaid and the new children's health
insurance program in the 12 states with the largest number of uninsured
children (AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, LA, NJ, NY, NC, OH, PA, and TX) from 1996
to 1999. Figures show that, while large numbers of children have lost
Medicaid coverage in the wake of welfare reform, the new CHIP program
is starting to reach children who were previously ineligible for public
coverage. [Full

Unmet
Needs: The Large Differences in Health Care Between Uninsured and Insured
Children This study, based on
interview data gathered by the National Center for Health Statistics,
shows that children who are uninsured for a year or more make half as
many visits to the doctor and have less than half as many inpatient
days in the hospital as insured children. [Full Report]

This is an update to our earlier report. Premium Pay II examines 1997
executive compensation for the 15 for-profit, publicly traded companies

75 of the nation's largest HMOs in 1997.

legislation addressing common problems with managed care. The report
analyzes state-by-state activity on 13 illustrative consumer protections

of state consumer protections is compounded by ERISA, which preempts
state laws for those in "self-insured" plans--one out of three
people with employer-provided coverage. [Full

Directly to Work, Do Not Collect Health Insurance: Low- Income Parents
Lose Medicaid Nearly one million low-income parents in 15 states

have done so for parents. [Full

at Medicare HMOs to see how many beneficiaries quit, or disenroll. Includes
state-by-state and plan- by-plan data on the overall disenrollment rates

Medicare beneficiaries. (December, 1997)

Hi. My mom is 71 years old living in Maryland. She has gotten information
about what appears to be a HMO alternative to Medicare. From what I
can gather from the information they sent to her, she will no longer
need to pay her supplimental BCBS payments once accepted in the program
the Medicare part A&B she is currently enrolled in becomes a HMO. If
you have any information (pros & cons) about this program, please let
me know. Also if you are aware of any websites that can explain the
benefit of dropping her BCBS and enrolling in this program, please
advise. Thanks in advance. E-mail Elise Miller -- ermiller@erols.com

notified that my primary carrier is trying to transfer the primary payer
position to Medicare part B. I have an ongoing policy with Ingersol Rand
Co. whereby my medical, dental, RX's etc are paid as primary position. Is it
legal for them to force me to accept the Medicare as the primary, and
Ingersol Rand as the secondary whereby I would lose all my low cost pay
position -- like rx's $6.00 per, etc., - no limit to amount of $ per year. If
Medicare is so broke why would they want to accept me anyway as primary
before my 65th birthday which is when I should transfer. The firm ALLSUP INC.
in Belleville, IL is where the company is at that sent me the letter asking me
sign them up as my representative with Medicare. It just does not sound
right. I would like to hear from anyone who can shed some light on the
subject. If they can do this to me, they can do this to others. Maybe there
are other seniors out there who need warning or help with the problem. -- E-mail Lodge lodge2@aol.com
If anyone has any information regarding Senior Citizen's Medicare rights
in regards to a patient being in the hospital on a respirator with other
medical problems...my mother has been in this condition for about two
weeks and the hospital has already asked what are plans are in regards to
a respitory and/or nursing home facility....my parents have medicare and
supplementary insurance, but we don't want her moved from the
hospital...is she protected??? Medicare rules are boggling. Contact guastini e-mail at guastini@pilot.njin.net
I have handled my parents insurance submissions for years...I've always
said, doctor bills and insurance statements are so very confusing that I
feel bad for the senior citizens out there who don't have assistance
questioning these statements...I know with my parents bills I've found
overcharges, errors, etc...which I was able to recognize..If I ever could
be of any service to any senior citizen (checking statments, calling a
doctor with questions, etc.) please let me know...I simply feel for their
confusion. Contact guastini by e-mail: guastini@pilot.njin.net
AAPR is changing it's health care provider. Already new payment books
arrive with letters glowing in accolades, for AARP's new basic medical
provider. A name I never heard of! Several days ago I sent the AARP president an e mail asking for more information. He didn't bother to answer!
Anyone out there know if this is good deal or a bad deal for those with
current policies? Sound off if you do as you could put at least one mind at ease, and perhaps many others who may also wonder as I do. The real point is many of us now hold long term health care policies with AAPP. It might be hard to requalify with another provider if you decide this change is not a good deal for you! -- thanks to Jim Bell -- icjbbco@brightok.net Lone Grove, OK.

Medicare is going Broke! -- I think all the people on Medicare better write and demand an overhaul NOW! In 5 years it will be broke, and, at least, 1/2 a loaf is better than none. Its going to be hard, and what ever political party is in, they will have to make some HARD decisions. It has not been in the press at all but it is going broke! and a few of the elected officials will conceed off camera that it is in fact going broke. We all had better wake up to this fact!

HMOs -- you can have them! -- While HMOs may be less expensive in to pay for, from my own personal experience, I know the serious drawbacks that one presented to my ex-husband. He was in a head-on automobile accident and spent 10 months in the hospital and 2 more in a nursing home. At the end of 7 months, the HMO that he had (a group HMO through the state of Wisconsin) decided that he could go home. The doctors (several) who were taking care of him called and wrote that he was not able to come home yet, but he did. The doctors were right that he wasn't ready, and he had to be flown back to the University hospital where he did survive. He never did recover completely and after 10 months, HMO demanded a nursing home. This happened in 1988 and 1989 and he is still very crippled from lack of proper therapy, has a kidney condition that is attended to by dialysis and that was caused by some medicine that he had to have, and would not be in the condition he is today had he had proper medical care. HMO even denied him home care which he couldn't afford himself. He eventually received insurance from the driver of the other car's insurer, but not until he had to hire a lawyer (at 33%) to get it because the HMO demanded the money. From that experience, I will let you have your HMOs. They, not the doctors, determine your medical well-being. -- sent by Mary Lee -- Leem@uwplatt.edu --
