Report http://www.ourfuture.org/content/health+care+for+all/report Posts in an issue (node teasers) en Health Care For America http://www.ourfuture.org/reports/health-care-america <p>America's $2.2-trillion-a-year medical complex is enormously wasteful, ill-targeted, inefficient, and unfair. The best medical care is extremely good, but the Rube Goldberg system through which that care is financed is extremely bad—and falling apart. One out of three non-elderly Americans spend some time without health insurance every two years, and the majority of those remain uninsured for more than nine months. Meanwhile, runaway health costs have become an increasingly grave threat, not just to the security of family finances, but also to corporate America's bottom line. The United States spends much more as a share of its economy on health care than any other nation, and yet all this spending has failed to buy Americans the one thing that health insurance is supposed to provide: health security.</p> Health Care for All 501c(3) health care health care for america healthcare Thu, 11 Jan 2007 11:22:20 -0500 Jacob S. Hacker 230 at http://www.ourfuture.org The Stress Test http://www.ourfuture.org/report/stress-test <div class="text_box_grad"><p><img src="/files/Stress-test-cover-240.gif" width="240" align="right" float="right" style="margin-left:10px" alt="The Stress Test" />The headlines scream bad news about the economy: Prices are high and rising; wages are not keeping up. Homes foreclose at a record pace. Gas prices are at record highs. While economists and politicians debate whether or not we’re technically in a recession, most Americans feel we’ve been in a recession for years. People know in their guts that something is wrong.</p> <p>To show how the economy affects working families, The Campaign for America’s Future has designed an economic stress test. Assessing the condition of jobs, housing, health care, and household costs on a state-by-state basis over time, the CAF stress test illustrates the troubles families face and shows the way to solutions.</p> <p>"The Stress Test" shows trouble across the board. It shows flat wages and rising costs. It shows more people without health insurance and the neglect of such established public responsibilities as state support for college education. It demonstrates overall economic mismanagement and it quantifies the general level of stress in this historically optimistic country.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://assets.ourfuture.org/documents/eco_20080513_stress_test.pdf">Read the full report (PDF)</a></strong> | <a href="#states">State stress test statistics</a></p> </div> <div class="text_box_grad"><h5>What "The Stress Test" Measures</h5><br /> <h3>Jobs</h3> <ul> <li>Unemployment rates and changes in unemployment rates (March 2000-March 2008) <br /> </li><li>Changes in the number of goods-producing and service-providing jobs (March 2000-March 2008) <br /> </li> <li>Changes in available construction jobs (March 2000-2008) <br /> </li> <li>Changes in available manufacturing jobs (March 2000-2008) <br /> </li> <li>Changes in average weekly wage (Q3 2001-Q3 2007) <br /> </li></ul> <h3>Costs and quality of life</h3> <ul> <li>People without health insurance, per 1,000 residents; rate and change over time; overall and employer-based (2000-2006) <br /></li> <li> Population spending 25 percent of pre-tax income on health care; rate and change (2000-2008)<br /></li> <li>Public college tuition as a percentage of income; rate and change over time (2000-2001 – 2006-2007) <br /> </li> <li>Bankruptcy, per capita; rate and change over time (2006-2007) </li> <li>Foreclosures, per capita (2007) </li> <li>Average price of gas, change over time(January 2000-February 2008) </li> </ul> </div> <div class="text_box_grad"><h5>The Solutions</h5><br /> <p>To relieve this economic stress, this report shows, we need a new economic strategy. We need to stop using tax dollars to bail out Wall Street bankers and start using public money to benefit the struggling middle class. This means the creation of new, good jobs here at home and a strategy for retaining knowledge and technology in America. We need to expand public investment in infrastructure as well as human capital in order to ensure the safety and well-being of all Americans. This includes investment in roads, bridges, education and health care. These reforms are the foundation for a new economy in which all Americans benefit. </p> <p>The elements of the new direction include: </p> <ul><li><strong>New Energy for America</strong> <br /> We should launch a concerted drive for energy independence, and put people to work building a green economy.</li><br /> <li><strong>A National Strategy in the Global Economy</strong><br /> We need a clear strategy for our nation in the global economy. The first step out of the hole we are in is to stop digging. No more NAFTAs, no more trade accords written by and for multinational corporations and banks. </li><br /> <li><strong>Invest in People and Basics that Work</strong> <br /> We need to ensure our children have access to the best education in the world: universal pre-kindergarten, smaller classes in earlier grades, challenging after-school programs, and affordable college or advanced training. Invest in repairing roads and bridges, sewage systems and school buildings, ensuring that the jobs created are good jobs.</li><br /> <li><strong>Health Care for All</strong><br /> We need to revive the American Dream and help working families with the basics. We should start with health care reform, providing for all a guaranteed choice of health care, just as members of Congress have. Provide every business and individual with the option of either keeping their current private plan, if they like it, or the ability to buy into a high-quality public plan. </li><br /> <li><strong>Sharing Prosperity</strong><br /> We need to correct the imbalance between the top floor and the shop floor to ensure that profits and productivity are widely shared. Raise the floor – increase the minimum wage, guarantee workers paid sick days and family leave. Empower workers to organize, pass the Employee Free Choice Act, turn the National Labor Relations Board back into a watchdog for workers. Pass comprehensive immigration reform, gain control of our borders and enforce fair labor standards so employers can’t exploit undocumented workers.</li> </ul> <p>Americans have a right to know how we can build a sustainable economy. Presidential candidates need to address the issues that are relevant to working Americans, refocusing national attention from the wants of Wall Street to the needs of Main Street. We can begin to relieve Americans’ economic stress by challenging candidates and elected officials to support and promote real solutions to real economic problems.</p> </div> <a name="states" id="states"></a> <div class="text_box_grad"><h5>Stress Test State Reports</h5><br /> <p>See the level of economic stress in your state.</p> <div style="width:100%;

Since the 2002 release of the Institute of<br /> Medicine report, Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, a significant<br /> amount of analytic work has enhanced our understanding of the scope and causes of disparities<br /> in health and health care. It is now time to move beyond documenting disparities and to<br /> focus our efforts on actionable steps to eliminate them.</p> Health Care for All 501c(3) Thu, 09 Aug 2007 12:49:22 -0400 Chris Rasmussen 234 at http://www.ourfuture.org Waste and Inefficiency in the Bush Medicare Prescription Drug Plan http://www.ourfuture.org/report/waste-and-inefficiency-bush-medicare-prescription-drug-plan <p style="margin-top: 0px;">The Republicans' prescription drug program sell-out to insurance and drug companies made a law prohibitting Medicare from negotiating for lower drug prices.

http://www.ourfuture.org/reports/why-costly-confusing-part-d-prescription-drug-program-dropping-millions-seniors-donut-hole <p>Millions of seniors on Medicare Part D are falling into the gap known as the donut hole, in which they get no prescription drug coverage coverage at all even while still paying monthly premiums. At the same time, the pharmaceutical industry is launching a $10 million dollar ad campaign to tout the Bush administration program and the vulnerable members of Congress who support it. This dichotomy of special interests touting government programs that benefit their bottom line while the American people suffer the consequences is commonplace under the current Congress and administration. </p> <p>This report details how under the reign of conservatism, pharmaceutical companies are making record<br /> profits from Part D and Republicans are receiving valuable campaign contributions, while millions of American seniors are stuck with nearly a $3,000 donut hole gap in coverage in a prescription drug program that is needlessly costly and confusing.</p> Health Care for All 501c(3) Medicare prescription drugs Mon, 25 Sep 2006 12:29:58 -0400 Chris Rasmussen 231 at http://www.ourfuture.org The Excess Cost of the Bush Prescription Drug Plan http://www.ourfuture.org/report/excess-cost-bush-prescription-drug-plan <p style="margin-top:0px;"> The Republicans' prescription drug program sell-out to insurance and drug companies will cost tax-payers and beneficiaries $80 billion annually more than a direct Medicare benefit with negotiated prices.
