Order to even get care, and that care was segregated from the rest of healthcare. Youve heard many times about the other problems that are associated. Well, theyre literally paid for separately with a workforce thats trained differently. Now, as healthcare reform and parity roll out, people at all parts of that continuum ought to be able to get care from being screened early, as candace says, through interventions in the office of their primary care doctors to Specialty Care that they already have and beyond. I think its going to be really quite an important benefit for people that are affected, but for the rest of medicine as well, going to see better quality care and farreduced costs. And youve brought in a very good dimension in terms of how we train individuals. Obviously, if were looking for more people to adopt evidencebased practices, right, dr. Laudet . Wouldnt we really Pay Attention to how were training the new people so that to make sure that they really have all the tools t
Enrolling. Number two, when it comes to the individual mandate, i think i will say two things about proposals from republicans that said it as their mission to eliminate, decimate come sabotage obamacare from the beginning, who were willing to shut the government down because of their opposition to obamacare we have to take their proposals with a grain of salt. I dont think they are filled with sincerity to the sincere desire to improve the system. Theyve made it clear that their goal was to eliminate the system and thereby eliminate the possibility for millions of americans with preexisting conditions or who dont have insurance the possibility of getting it. Number two, when it comes to and we talked about this when they were shutting down the government on the president s refusal to pay ransom, obamacare ransom in exchange for getting the government open or in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. When we talk about delaying the socalled individual mandate what does that mean concre
400,000 children are in the foster care system, and theres great improvements in terms of reducing the numbers of children in foster care, and increasing the number of children who find permanent and loving homes. We should acknowledge and be proud of the advances that have been made, particularly the focus on supporting youth as they age out of the system. The fact of the matter is majority of foster care parents are loving and supportive individuals who open their hearts and their homes. Foster care patients can be the better angels among us, and they deserve to be recognized for incredible difference they make in the world every day, but far too many children dont have that benefit. Even for those incredible chance is protecting young people in foster care from the threats of the outside world is a very big challenge. Statistics tell us that foster children are especially vulnerable to those who seek to exploit children. As congressman pallson has told us. The National Center for ex
Stories are lots of about slaves and freemen of color who made choices. When i began this book, i was convinced that the americans were the good guys, and the british were the bad guys. But the more i worked on this project, i became more and more that as the war came to an end, that it was the americans who were not the good guys. It was instead the british and the spanish who were the good guys. The british and the spanish offered freedom to their slaves. Andmen who served with them took them away from this land of bondage. For the americans, well, the americans will keep slaves in bondage until 1865. Choose fight for the u. S. Or five for your freedom with the invading ritz tonight and im 00 eastern on cspan at 9 00 eastern on cspan3. The house ways and means subcommittee on Human Resources held a hearing on how changes to the foster care system might prevent youth sex trafficking. Among the witnesses with a panel of lawmakers who offered different bills to address the issue, follow
This one. This one. There was kind of some argument about, well, which came first . We need to address the Substance Abuse issue before we can make headway on the Mental Health issue. On the flip side, the Mental Health practitioners would say, no, we need to address the depression or what have you before we can really make headway on the Substance Use. And i think what people are really beginning to understand, especially in the last decade, that they have to be treated at the same time and not just treated at the same time in parallel, but treated at the same time in a very integrated fashion. If you google dual disorder, you will see hypertension and diabetes, but you never hear problems in treating those two disorders. I think the reason is doctors, nurses, pharmacists are educated in both, and, very importantly, the money comes out of the same pot. So, so often theres a separate pot for Mental Health money and Substance Abuse money, and it has produced an unnecessary, really divis
