Proposals May Limit Insurance Choices And Squeeze Some Middle Earners
"President Obama and leading Democrats have stressed that people who like their employer-sponsored insurance would be able to keep it, under a health care overhaul. But they haven"t emphasized the flip side: That people who don"t like their coverage might have to keep it," Kaiser Health News reports. "Under the main health bills being debated in Congress, many people with job-based insurance could find it difficult to impossible to switch to health plans on a new insurance exchange, even if the plans there were cheaper or offered better coverage. The restrictions extend to any government-run plan, which would be offered on the exchange." But "there are a few exceptions: Workers would be allowed to buy insurance through the exchange if their job-based coverage gobbled up too much of their incomes or was too skimpy. Also, under the House proposal, people could get insurance through the exchange if they paid their entire premiums - a cost that would be prohibitive for many workers."

British Medical Association Cymru Wales Launches The 'Option 7' Campaign - To Improve The Lives Of Junior Doctors

BMA Cymru Wales on Monday launched a campaign aimed at improving the working lives of junior doctors in Wales. The doctors" trade union has become increasingly concerned about working conditions of junior doctors and the impact that this could have both on careers and on patient safety. This includes; *Lack of training opportunities *Unsafe staffing levels *Bullying/ intimidation *Non-compliant rota/ rota gaps *Insufficient locum cover Junior doctors are understandably afraid to voice any concerns themselves with senior management, for fear of repercussions. That is why BMA Cymru Wales is launching the Option 7 campaign - named after the option on a BMA phone line that juniors can select, to discuss bullying and harassment in confidence. The on-going campaign will involve BMA Welsh secretary Dr Richard Lewis and BMA Welsh council chairman Dr Andrew Dearden meeting with the chairs and chief executives of the new NHS health boards in Wales. Dr Dearden says: "We are hearing of some worrying cases concerning junior doctors, which seem to be more widespread than just "one-off" incidents. It has got to the point where it is starting to affect the reputation of training in Wales. It will also further adversely affect the recruitment and retention of junior doctors in Wales, which it is probably fair to say, is at a critical point now. "Those who raise concerns are afraid of retribution and retaliation, and we decided we could no longer deal with these on a one-to-one basis, that there was a very real need for a dedicated campaign by BMA Cymru Wales, on behalf of junior doctors. "It is vitally important that we get the message out there that this type of behaviour cannot and will not be tolerated, no matter what the , either from management or clinical staff. In the meetings with NHS health board managers (chief executives and chairs), BMA Cymru Wales will be offering support to employers to resolve the problems highlighted and drawing up an action plan together, with the involvement of the Wales Deanery, to include; *What exactly will be done to address the issues *Who will take responsibility for making sure action is taken *Setting deadlines for action and resolving problems raised in these meetings Dr Lewis and Dr Dearden will also be meeting as many junior doctors as possible during the campaign. Dr David Samuel, Chairman of the BMA"s Welsh junior doctors committee thinks some of the issues are much more far-reaching: "I think we are just scratching the surface at the moment of what could prove to be an endemic situation. "We understand that trusts have to meet targets and have gaps to fill on the rotas, but the training and welfare of juniors are also important." The Option 7 campaign also has a facebook presence with groups set up for juniors and their families and friends to show their support for the campaign.
