Kennedy, New York, 1960] "Do Republicans Cause Economic Depression?" "The Republicans controlled the Presidency and Congress 80% and 100% of the decade prior to 1929. For comparison, in the decade prior to the current crisis Republican control has been 60% and 100%. Indeed, there has been a long period of Republican dominance in the legislative and executive branches, with control over Congress from 1995-2007 and the Presidency since 2001, not unlike the long period of Republican dominance leading up to the 1929 Depression.

Hotdish Politics: 'National' health care reform not there yet

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Danzig

National health reform has survived two presidential elections, a year-long debate in Congress, a summer of Tea Party uprisings, a Republican counteroffensive in the 2010 elections, more than 30 repeal votes in the U.S. House and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last summer.

Questor share tip: Health care group Assura has good long-term prospects

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Danzig

Assura is a buy for its long term income stream.

Simon Laffin, chairman of property group Assura, spent more than 300,000 on shares in the group last week. It is always a positive sign when management make such a confident statement on a companys prospects.

The business owns and operates primary health care properties such as GP surgeries. Its (Euronext: ALITS.NX - news) business model is similar to Primary Health Properties (Other OTC: PYHPF.PK - news) , but the group is smaller. It plans to convert to a real estate investment trust in April next year.

Interim results released last week were positive. In the six months to September, pre-tax profit was 6.5m compared with a 26.3m loss last year. Last years loss related to charges associated with an interest rate swap that went bad. This resulted in a rights issue but this issue is now behind the company. The balance sheet has been fixed and the company is ready for growth. The primary health care industry offers positive growth prospects. Most GP surgeries are old and dated and more modern health care facilities will be built over the next decade, especially after GPs get involved in commissioning decisions from April 2013.

In the past six months, Assuras rent roll was 36.2m compared with 34.9m. Its property rose 3.7pc in value over the past six months.

The company pays dividends quarterly, which at the moment stand at 0.285p a share. The prospective yield is 3.2p, rising to 3.6pc next year, which is not astoundingly high, but the company has a progressive dividend policy and the average lease length on core portfolio of 15.5 years.

The shares are trading on a discount to its net asset value of almost 10pc. Questor likes the long-term dividend stream. Buy.

Will Increased Competition in Health Care Exchanges Actually Raise Costs?

The Political Landscapeis a weekly conversation with National Journal writers, editors, and outside experts on the news of the day.

With President Obama's reelection, it became a near certainty that the major components of the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare, would be going into effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Primarily, by then each state is expected to have what's called a healthcare exchange.

Essentially, these exchanges are an online marketplace for those who don't receive insurance through an employer or for those who work at a very small business. Various insurers will be required to provide information about their different plans on this online marketplace, and individuals can go there and, in theory, easily compare plans by price, range of coverage, etc.

It's been pitched as a way to not only bring insurance to many uninsured Americans, who have no easy way of finding plans, but also as a way to lower costs. The rational behind these lower costs? More competition. And transparent competition. In theory, the health care exchanges allow two things. One, it gives insurers an easy way to promote their plans. And two, it gives consumers an easy way to price compare.

Basic economic theory would say that more competition and less market monopoly leads to lower prices.

Maybe not, says Dana Goldman. Goldman is the Chair in Medicine and Public Policy at the University of Southern California, and the director of the of the Center for Health Policy and Economics at the USC Price School of Policy, Planning, and Development. He co-founded Precision Healthcare Economics, a healthcare consulting firm, and writes for the New York Times' Economix blog.

In a recent piece he co-authored, Goldman wrote, "In financial markets, we ask if banks are too big to fail. When it comes to health care, perhaps we should ask if insurers are too small to succeed."

Presidential candidate’s polarized positions culminate on health care

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Danzig

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney both agree that the health care system has problems, but each candidate has his own ideas on how to improve the system.

Health care reform is a complicated issue and a high-priority topic in the presidential election.

Laura Dague, a professor at the Bush School who specializes in health care policy, said Americans need to understand the problems of the health care system to evaluate the candidates plans.

There are really two big issues that the U.S. faces with respect to health care policy, Dague said. One of them is that we have a lot of people who do not have access to the health care system. The second problem is that costs of health care are increasing at a high rate.

Dague said customers who want insurance the most are also those who need it the most, so they will be the most expensive to insure. This problem is called adverse selection and is one contributing factor to why it is expensive to buy insurance on the individual market.

Economic policy says we can make it cheaper, require it or give it away, Dague said. Unfortunately, the cost problem is really hard to fix.

Dague said part of the problem with the high cost of health care comes from uninsured people who cant pay hospital bills and the hospital having to cover the cost.

The idea is that somebody has to pay for people who get sick when they are uninsured, Dague said.

Public emergency rooms have to treat anyone who walks in the door. When uninsured people cannot pay for care, the hospital or a charity organization gets stuck with the bill, Dague said.

The Affordable Care Act, referred to as Obamacare, is the Obama administrations health care plan that has been initiated.

Business owners face health care dilemma

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Danzig

NEW YORK Rose Wang looks at her staff of 70 employees and wonders if shell have to lay off some of them to comply with the health care law.

The owner of Binary Group Inc., an information technology firm based in Alexandria, Va., is one of many small business owners who will be required to provide health insurance for her staffers under a provision of the law that goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Wang already provides insurance, but she has struggled with premiums that have soared as much as 60 percent annually, so she requires employees to contribute to their coverage. Shes worried because she doesnt know how much shell have to pay under the Affordable Care Act.

Wangs worry is a gut-wrenching dilemma that many small business owners are concerned that they may face. Now that President Barack Obama has won re-election, the health care overhaul, which presidential candidate Mitt Romney promised to dismantle, is marching forward. Companies must decide before the start of 2014 what theyll do to comply with the law. Right now, no one knows how much the insurance will cost, and owners arent sure if theyd be better off not buying it and paying a government a penalty of $2,000 per worker. Some owners are even threatening to defy the law. The big challenge for most small businesses is that they just dont have enough information to make concrete plans.

If Wang cant afford it the insurance, she says that some of her staffers may have to go.

I would have to say, look, guys, youre family to me in many respects, but this family also depends on having the kind of cash flow available to keep the lights on and keep employing most of you, Wang says. It would have to come down to that.

Not providing insurance and paying the penalty is another alternative. Thats what were going to decide by 2014, if the math is so obvious its cheaper for us to do the $2,000 per head, she says.

The health care law generally requires that companies with 50 or more full-time workers provide health insurance for their staffers. If they dont provide any insurance, theyll have to pay the $2,000 penalty for each worker on their payroll. If they buy insurance, but it doesnt meet the governments tests for affordable coverage, theyll have to pay $3,000 for each worker whose coverage isnt deemed affordable. If that seems confusing, thats just the beginning. Theres a labyrinth of other details that include plans that can be grandfathered in and a maze of other fine points that small business owners are trying to decipher.

In some industries, owners are considering cutting employees hours to under 30 a week, which would take those workers out of the jurisdiction of the law. Restaurant owners are looking at that option after Darden Restaurants Inc. said in October it was going to try changing the mix of full-time and part-time workers at its restaurants including Red Lobster and Olive Garden. When full-timers leave, Darden will considering replacing them with part-timers, spokesman Rich Jeffers says.

Hurricane Grill & Wings, a restaurant franchise with five company-owned restaurants, is also thinking of lowering the number of hours that its servers and other hourly employees work. That would exempt them from having to be covered under the law. President Martin ODowd says the company would have to monitor the quality of its service and food to be sure theres no impact on customers if workers are unhappy with their shorter work-week. But hes not anticipating any problems.

Hurricane CEO John Metz recently said the company was considering adding a 5 percent surcharge to customers bills starting in 2014 to cover the costs of health care for full-time workers. But since the plan was reported in the news media and generated negative comments on some websites ODowd now says that it was hypothetical.

WIC 2012 -- Interview with Yesim Kunter // A Play Session
Have had the chance to participate in a play session with Yesim Kunter. She is a Senior Futurist and Play Expert and was with Hasbro UK. During a play session we constructed several metaphores with wood, plastic, glue,... to attack these items later with cool NERF guns. The Play Session was to experience the importance of "Fun" element while engaging into activity and how this can transform into out product innovation and brand development. I like Yesim so much cause she is not creating crazy games, she rather gives guidance utilizing "Gamification" of business while having the scientific background. Eg the different patterns of Play: Imaginative Play (What is my role, What is the scenario, How can I connect), Creative Play (Fun, Silly Ideas), Active Play (Strategy, Syncing up with together, space, environment), Strategic Play (to win, to be better, more)From:fabsinnovationtvViews:0 0ratingsTime:05:19More inScience Technology
