PPACA

Yeah it's me again. Just thinking about you guys. Our supervisor just sent us this link to a list of all the things Obamacare does, including an array of the new public health measures to be implemented. If you haven't yet, take a look at this summary. It definitely helped me carry on a semi-intelligent conversation about the new health care plan.

I just wanted to direct your attention to the one that is supposed to happen in 2014 - no deductible for preventive services marked A or B grade by the USPSTF or in HRSA guidelines OR any immunizations or preventive care for children and women. I don't know about you, but this is one part of free health care that I am all in favor of. Lots of us have mixed feelings about whether general health care should be a right, but what do you think -- is preventive health care a right?

Speaking of free stuff, go to this website and just put in your address. Voila! You will receive a hard copy of all the recommended Clinical Preventive Services for 2009. It's great to see all this stuff we've learned about in print!
