Health care increasingly out of reach for millions of Americans

May 9th, 2012

Having trouble finding a doctor?

You’re not alone.

Tens of millions of adults under age 65 – both those with insurance and those without – saw their access to health care worsen dramatically over the past decade, according to a study abstract released Monday.

The findings suggest that more privately insured Americans are delaying treatment because of rising out-of-pocket costs, while safety-net programs for the poor and uninsured are failing to keep up with demand for care, say Urban Institute researchers who wrote the report.

Overall, the study published in the journal Health Affairs found that one in five American adults under 65 had an “unmet medical need” because of costs in 2010, compared with one in eight in 2000. They also

At distracted driving forum, a focus on danger beyond ’2 seconds’

April 16th, 2012

Washington — At a gathering of his safety-minded peers, John Lee had a confession to make.

UK rental market ‘remains stable’

April 8th, 2012

The recent LSL buy-to-let Index found that the monthly rent in England and Wales fell by 0.6 per cent in February, but one expert has said the market remains stable despite the findings.

Chris Norris, policy manager at the National Landlords Association (NLA), said that significant rent rises in recent times have been focused on London and the south-east.

“A lot of places around the country have experienced quite stable rent prices, or lack of rent changes shall we say, and some areas have been creeping down for some time,” he explained.

The expert added that it is too early to say rents have plateaued as demand is still strong and many rents appear to be increasing.

Mr Norris put the slight decrease in average rents down to a seasonal lull, as January, February and March tend to be “quite slow times for the rental market.

“It wouldn’t be too much of a surprise if that wasn’t the national average across the rest of the year,” he concluded.

Partisan Confusion

March 29th, 2012

Outside the Supreme Court While the Mandate is Debated

I was standing outside the U.S. Supreme Court holding a sign that said It was the second day of argument on the Affordable Care Act. As I watched the crowds it was evident this was an organized partisan event.

As the Washington Post reports, that originated with conservatives: “The tale begins in the late 1980s, when conservative economists such as Mark Pauly, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of business, were searching for ways to counter liberal calls for government-sponsored universal health coverage.
