“If it was not for President Obama, my beloved daughter may not be alive”
Posted by Linda H on 11:24:00 AM
“My daughter Michaela was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in March of 2011. She was 23 years old and had graduated the prior year with a degree in nursing. She was diagnosed four months after being on the job and therefore did not have much sick time. If it were not for the Affordable Care Act, she would have been without insurance. Michaela needed five months of chemotherapy, six weeks of radiation, and had both breasts removed. She is now back at work taking care of patients. If it was not for President Obama, my beloved daughter may not be alive today.”

Ashwani: A cancer survivor for Obama
Posted by Linda H on 6:20:00 AM
“As a cancer survivor, a person under the age of 26, a recent college graduate, and an American, Obamacare means the world to me.
“It means that I can no longer be denied coverage due to my pre-existing condition. It means that I won't face the same hurdles when buying my own health care as I look for my first job. It means that I won't be a burden to the American taxpayers if I ever get sick again and lose my insurance. It means that insurance companies no longer have a monopoly on my health. It means that my doctor will have the final say in how I can be treated.
“Mitt Romney has been clear he’d repeal Obamacare on Day One. Let’s make it clear to Romney: Obamacare isn’t going anywhere. Let’s get to work—join us as we reach out to voters about what’s at stake in November.

ObamaCare :: Accountable Care Organizations Improving Medicare
Posted by Linda H on 6:14:00 AM
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced today, that as of July 1, 89 new Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) began serving 1.2 million people with Medicare in 40 states and Washington, D.C. ACOs are organizations formed by groups of doctors and other health care providers that have agreed to work together to coordinate care for people with Medicare.
These 89 new ACOs have entered into agreements with CMS, taking responsibility for the quality of care they provide to people with Medicare in return for the opportunity to share in savings realized through high-quality, well-coordinated care.
“Better coordinated care is good for patients and it saves money,” said Secretary Sebelius. “We applaud every one of these doctors, hospitals, health centers and others for working together to ensure millions of people with Medicare get better, more patient-centered, coordinated care.”
