Obamacare’s Medicaid mandates are unconstitutional

By My Canadian Pharmacy The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act sees very few provisions which allow federal bureaucrats to increase taxes on states. “Medicaid mandates” (or Obamacare rules) failed to attract attention as the mandate forcing people to buy health insurance approved by the government. Now, they both are reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Few people know that the Medicaid mandates are constitutionally dubious, even worse than the individual mandate. Therefore, the Independence Institute of Colorado has taken the uncommon step of asking the court to overturn them. My Canadian Pharmacy shortly about the issues The constitution divides…

Insurance company about benefits of integration

By My Canadian Pharmacy Money is the biggest difficulty of blending physical and mental health care. Insurance companies can’t cover their patients’ mental health, and psychologists can’t treat physical conditions. These two health specialties unfortunately remain separate, so patients are confused, they get improper care and often get worse Most My Canadian Pharmacy experts admit that such policy is wrong, but most experts are tied with insurance company billing codes. Join an insurance company that strives to prove that integrated physical and mental health care is better for all people and less expensive in the long perspective. Western Colorado stars a new experiment next spring: the health insurance company, called Rocky Mountain Health Plans, will…

“Odious, Embarrassing” System Driving Down Health Sign-Ups

Colorado has no fast decision for a supposedly endless case of Medicaid application that health insurance marketplace members consider to be pushing away customers and reducing the number of patients buying health insurance at Colorado’s new multi-million dollar health care exchange. Argues between state and health insurance managers aggravated on Monday as exchange board workers claimed that Colorado should have been better prepared and that the state’s slow system is embarrassing. “It’s painful. It’s disgusting. It’s embarrassing to be obliged to answer all these unnecessary questions if they’re going to be refused anyway,” said Nathan Wilkes, IT expert and board member for state’s health insurance marketplace, Connect…

Clogged websites, swamped phone lines mark Obamacare opening day

High traffic blocked Colorado’s health care exchange website and spurred long awaiting times on phones Tuesday as target customers are hurried to explore new health insurance plans. Technology falters and unforeseeably high interest around country stamped “go-live” for Obamacare as millions of people strewed the federal health care exchange and state exchanges from New York to Rhode Island and California. In some states, like Oregon, customers couldn’t utilize the online system at all. Minnesota inched online late in the day. In Colorado, exchange healthcare managers summoned at their Denver headquarters just before 8 a.m. to power the system on. They claimed about 79,000 people had attended the Connect for Health Colorado website…

Medicaid won’t cover circumcision in Colorado

By My Canadian Pharmacy On July 1, Colorado is planning to join 17 other states refusing coverage for circumcisions under Medicaid program. During the latest legislative session, lawmakers approved this step due to budget cuts. The move will save the state’s fund about $180,000 annually, but it will also result in a debate that has been growing across Colorado. Last year, a bill banning routine circumcision was launched in Massachusetts’ legislature. They were followed by bans in Santa Monica, California, and San Francisco – in November, these areas will consider whether to identify the procedure as a crime. Julia Long is…

Stigma, Fear Keep Pregnant Addicts from Seeking Help

PUEBLO — The 19-year-old and her boyfriend embrace over her bulgy belly and give a promise. “We are not going to damage you anymore, baby,” they spoke to their unborn child. Addicts who met in detox clinic, Haley and Carlos, woke up the next morning, scratched together another $30 for a single Percocet pill and broke pledge. They hoted up the Percocet — an addictive oxycodone and acetaminophen combination — on a piece of aluminum foil, and smoked it. “Every time we would arrange it, we would swear this would be our last one,” said Haley, a religious Christian with big eyes and girl-next-door…

Transgender teen settles landmark health case

By My Canadian Pharmacy An 18-year-old teenager from Colorado who was born and grew up as a girl and later changed his gender to male has settled a landmark case against Kaiser Permanente – one of the largest health insurance companies in Colorado. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission suggests that the cause was that Alexander Manigault suffered from discrimination and had unequal rights for health care due to his gender. After pressure from One Colorado advocates, Colorado’s Division of Insurance released a bulletin and was considered the third U.S. state to ban health insurance companies from discriminating against gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people.

Polis fights sky-high rates as ski town signups stall

by My Canadian Pharmacy Health insurance rates in mountain resort areas in Colorado proved to be so high that the USA representative Martin Polis tries to get waivers from the government – in this case, people who do not buy insurance in 2015 won’t have any financial fires. “We will try to get a waiver. Summit County residents will find it difficult to become insured. The majority of people consider a price too high” said Polis. This idea greatly disappointed health coverage guides who work to involve Summit County residents in new health plans using Colorado’s health exchange. They did not manage to…

Circumcision bill dies in Colorado House

By My Canadian Pharmacy Last Friday, a bill that could restore Medicaid reimbursement for circumcisions in Colorado was cancelled. Before that day, on Thursday, the issue was mentioned at a hearing in the House Health and Environment Committee. Circumcision opponents, including health professionals, nti-circumcision activists and My Canadian Pharmacy specialists claimed that circumcision is a cosmetic procedure which is potentially harmful. They told health committee members that taxpayers should not pay for it. Circumcision proponents argued that funding for the procedure is a social justice issue. At the moment, insurance companies usually pay for circumcision for Colorado babies with insurance even though the pediatrics does not consider this procedure to…
