In the district. And a onesentence question. Does the work they do in prison, does that count towards medicare . Social security, medicare. No, it does not. There is a statutory prohibition wow. For medicare paying for any Services Provided behind bars. Thst also a statutory provision that if youre on parole or probation, you cannot receive medicare benefit. On the medicaid side, theres something known as the inmate exception, which goes back again to the original finding of medicaid, which states if youre an inmate of a Public Institution as the exact statutory language, you cannot receive medicaid benefits at all. So again, one of the challenges going back to my comment about islands, and what im hearing you say is we need to figure out creatively how we build bridges to those islands. Obviously, medical records is a part of it. Thinking about bringing standards of care that medicaid brings is another part of it. But at this point, were all very much in the process of understanding i
To treat. The challenge has been the Regulatory Framework in a postAffordable Care act world that limits our treatment. I want to make it clear that this is a bipartisan issue. Governor perry, governor deal of georgia, theyve been going out and promoting treatment of criminogen criminogenic behavior rather than incarceration. What changes is states who have enrolled in the Affordable Care act is to scale this at a level a state governor cannot necessarily do. Thank you very much. Well turn next to debra rowe. Thank you, ed. All right. Good afternoon. During my i witnessed the disheartening maltreatment of women who were ill and resided in my dorm. For example, the women who were sick we are kept at the very end of the dorm. This was during the time when h. I. V. And a. I. D. S. Became prevalent in communities and several of the women that i am referencing had h. I. V. Infections. During that period, i met my colleague here, jacqueline, you see, we, along with a few other sisters, were
They have several prisons within our state that take it so that the cost for that does not come out of our per diem there. So, again, heres our creativity. As you heard, i have a long history with managed Care Organizations and whether you like them or dont or whatever, its the world we live in and they are successful. So some of the principles that those managed Care Organizations have used, we have applied in the department of corrections. The first one being and im very proud of this is called the summer of Health Care Benefits and it is the same document or a similar document that you receive when you sign up for your own insurance. It basically tells you what is or is not covered and is or is not eligible and basically, what the Insurance Company will and will not pay for, but for us, it listsous what services are eligible to the inmates and which arent and it puts everyone on the same Playing Field because the inmates understand which services will be covered and which ones are n
Was not given the license to practice law in ohio. So there has to be some type of parody, some type of fairness, if there are sanctions at all. So you would be against blanket bans on all who have been convicted being ineligible to receive a license to practice law . I dont think blanket bans do any justice. All right. Mr. Jones . I think unless there is some Public Safety that outweighs a persons right to get a law law sense, to pass the bar, unless there is some Public Benefit that outweighs that person practicing law, then i would say, he should not have that restriction or any automatic mandatory bans. Do you know of any initiatives by the aba or state Bar Association to address that particular issue . Either one of you . No. I know the project of the collateral consequence of the project did not entail that. It had to do with cataloging and assembling the collateral consequence. Which was a monumental task. But the particular issue you are asking about, i dont know of any state o
