Sebelius to MISSAPPROPRIATE $200 Million Recovery Act Funds

News Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, July 28, 2009

Contact: HRSA Press Office (301) 443-3376

Secretary Sebelius Makes Recovery Act Funding Available to Expand Health
Professions Training

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today announced the availability of $200
million to support grants, loans, loan repayment, and scholarships to expand
the training of health care professionals.  The funds are expected to
train approximately 8,000 students and credentialed health professionals by the
end of fiscal year 2010.

Today’s funds are part of the $500 million allotted to HHS’ Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA), to address workforce shortages under the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

“Health care reform cannot happen without an adequate supply of
well-trained, well-distributed providers,” said Secretary Sebelius.
“These ARRA funds provide targeted investments in primary care, nursing,
faculty development, and equipment purchases that will shore up the workforce
as we prepare for reform.”

“Our health professions programs have been significantly underfunded these
past few years,” said Mary Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N., administrator of the Health
Resources and Services Administration. “These funds will help us begin to
rebuild the infrastructure that is so essential to producing the number of
skilled health professionals the Nation needs.”

The $200 million will be directed to the following program areas:

• $80.2 million for scholarships, loans, and loan repayment
  awards to students, health professionals, and faculty.  Of those
  funds, $39 million will be targeted to nurses and nurse faculty, $40
  million to disadvantaged students in a wide range of health professions,
  and $1.2 million to health professions faculty from disadvantaged
  backgrounds.
• $50 million in grants to health professions training
  programs.  Funds will be used to purchase equipment needed to expand
  programs and improve the quality of training.
• $47.6 million to support primary care training programs.
  These funds will support the training of residents, medical students,
  physician assistants, dentists and individuals, many of whom will practice
  in underserved areas.
• $10.5 million to strengthen the public health
  workforce.  Funds will support public health traineeships and
  increase the number of individuals trained through preventive medicine and
  dental public health residencies.
• $10.2 million to increase the diversity of the health
  professions workforce.
• And $1.5 million to support the efforts of state
  professional licensing boards in reducing barrier to telemedicine.

HRSA is using a competitive process to award all funds. Some awards will be
made over the next several months. In addition, funding opportunities for some
programs will be announced over the next several months, giving applicants
adequate time to prepare materials.

The remaining $300 million in ARRA workforce funds is being used to expand HRSA’s
National Health Service Corps, which provides scholarships and loan repayment
for primary care providers who serve in health professional shortage
areas.  In addition, HRSA received $2 billion through ARRA to expand
health care services to low-income and uninsured individuals through its health
center program.

AARP CEO Thanks Biden for Health Care Reform!

Medical News Today News Article

Medical News Today
AARP Thanks Vice President Biden, Administration, For Working To Improve Health Care For Older Americans
20 Jul 2009

This afternoon, AARP CEO A. Barry Rand delivered the following remarks at the White House Middle Class Task Force Town Hall in Alexandria, Va., during a discussion with Vice President Biden, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and White House Office of Health Reform Director Nancy-Ann DeParle, on how health care reform will lower costs, cut waste, and improve quality for seniors from across the country.

Rand’s remarks as prepared for delivery follow:

“Good afternoon everyone and welcome. I’m happy to be here with so many of our AARP family. Mr. Vice President, I want to thank you for hosting this Middle Class Task Force Town Hall and focusing in on ‘How Health Care Reform Will Help Seniors.’ Because as we all know, older Americans, like everyone else, need health care reform.

“So many of you have shared your stories with AARP and asked that we send them to Congress and to the White House to make sure Washington understands how important health care reform is-to you, to all Americans.

“Today, you have the chance to make your voice heard-the chance to talk about the challenges you are facing, whether it’s falling into the doughnut hole or being denied coverage because you have a pre-existing condition. Your stories are why AARP has made health care reform a top priority.

“Thankfully, Congress is moving forward with legislation that will address many of the concerns of older Americans. On Tuesday, the House of Representatives introduced a health care reform bill, and the Senate is working hard to get a bill out before the August recess.

“Congress is moving forward because they know what we know: our current health care system is not sustainable-not just for individuals, but also for employers and government.

“At AARP, we believe all Americans should have affordable health care choices. But our current system costs too much, wastes too much, makes too many mistakes and gives us back too little value for our money.

“This has to change. For too many people, lack of affordable, quality health care is closing the door on your American Dream-forcing us, forcing you, forcing them to choose between their health and other necessities. We hear this from our members every day, and you will hear some of those personal stories from people here today.

“Affordable health care is critical for financial and retirement security. One of the main reasons people go bankrupt is because they can’t pay their medical bills.

“For families and workers, the loss of jobs has been compounded by pay cuts and reduced insurance coverage. Among the most vulnerable are people 50-64 who lack employer-sponsored insurance. For too many of them, the individual insurance market is often unavailable at any price due to their exclusions for pre-existing conditions.

“As many of you know first hand, people on Medicare face extremely heavy burdens. They spend, on average, six times more of their income on health care than those with coverage through employers. We need health care reform in order to hold down costs and to keep Medicare strong now and strong for future generations.

“I joined President Obama and Congressional leaders when we announced an agreement to cut Medicare’s Part D coverage gap-the doughnut hole-in half. This is an important start. But we must do more to improve Medicare, such as:

— Further close the Part D “doughnut hole” coverage gap and reduce the costs of prescription drugs;
— Protect patients’ access to their doctors;
— Crack down on waste, fraud and abuse that’s driving up the cost of health care and causing medical errors and poor care
— Prevent dangerous, costly and avoidable re-hospitalizations; and
— Improve quality through better care management that coordinates chronic, acute, and long-term care services, and ensures that patients have access to the full range of support they need.

“For people not yet eligible for Medicare, there are a number of steps we must take to make health care more affordable, we must:

— Prevent insurance companies from pricing policies based on pre-existing conditions or age;
— Limit people’s premiums and out-of-pocket costs;
— Provide people with stable coverage that can not be taken away if they lose a job or experience life’s other ups and downs; and finally,
— Lower drug prices.

“These steps will improve health care for everyone. AARP is working hard-with the Administration-including Secretary Sebelius and Nancy-Ann DeParle. And we’re working with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle-to achieve meaningful health care reform that improves quality, improves the way care is delivered, and makes it more affordable.

“We all have a stake in health care reform. And right now, Congress is making important decisions.

“I urge you to be informed.I urge you to be involved, and.I urge you to be engaged in this issue. You can make a difference. Together, we can make sure that every American has access to affordable, quality health care for generations to come.”

Obama wants to know who was your first!

UNCLE SAM’S WAY-TOO-NOSY SURVEY – New York Post

Then come the really nosy questions, ranging from your college major and your health insurance to how you spend each day at the office. The survey even asks what time you leave for work, down to the hour and minute.

It also asks whether, “because of a physical, mental or emotional condition,” you have difficulty “concentrating, remembering or making decisions,” “walking or climbing stairs,” “doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor’s office or shopping” or “dressing or bathing.”

So much for keeping government out of the bedroom. The survey also demands your current marital status; whether you’ve been married, widowed or divorced in the last 12 months, and how many times you’ve been married. If you’re a woman between the ages of 15 and 50, you must also answer whether you’ve given birth in the last 12 months. The Census Bureau says this “measure of fertility” is used to “carry out various programs required by statute, including . . . conducting research for voluntary family planning programs.” What was that about a “woman’s right to privacy”?

It’s tempting to toss the survey in the circular file, but recipients are required by law to respond. According to the Census Web site, the fine for nonparticipation can be as much as $5,000, and filing false information can pack a $500 punch.

Kent Conrad says current health care plans wont save money and may not for well past 10 years

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Stu Nagurka (Conrad): 202-224-7436

June 16, 2009 Andrea Wuebker (Gregg): 202-224-8309

STATEMENT BY SENATE BUDGET COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
KENT CONRAD (D-ND) AND RANKING MEMBER JUDD GREGG (R-NH) ON
CBO LETTER ON HEALTH REFORM AND THE LONG-TERM BUDGET

“CBO’s letter, which we requested, shows that it will not be enough to simply offset the
cost of health reform over the next ten years. We must also ensure that reform bends the cost curve on health care over the long-term.”

“Most importantly, CBO is telling Congress that, without fundamental changes in the
organization and delivery of health care services, many current proposals to expand coverage would likely worsen our long-term budget outlook, rather than improve it.”

“CBO finds that paying for health reform over the next ten years doesn’t guarantee
long-term savings. Any expansion of insurance coverage under a health reform bill would be
phased in over time, so the 10-year budget window is not the best indicator of its ultimate cost.
Further, any offsetting savings enacted outside of the health care system would likely fail to keep up
with the rising cost of health care. To avoid problems down the road, we should be primarily
focused on finding savings within the health care system, that will grow over the long-term.”

“CBO also identifies two powerful ways that the federal government has to encourage
long-term health care savings: by changing Medicare payment rules to transform the practice of
health care and by changing the tax exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance. Both of
these changes have the potential to improve incentives for more efficient care in the overall health
system.”

“Our nation’s fiscal future is on the line. We have a tremendous opportunity to adopt health
care reform that will expand coverage, preserve choice, and improve quality. But we should not
enact any health care reform that does not also reduce federal spending over the long term
compared to our current unsustainable course.”

$90 Million in Recovery Act Funds to Bolster Water Services in Indian Country and Create Jobs

$90 Million in Recovery Act Funds to Bolster Water Services in Indian Country and Create Jobs

News Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Contact: EPA: (202) 564-7873 or (202) 564-4355
IHS: (301) 443-3593
$90 Million in Recovery Act Funds to Bolster Water Services in Indian Country and Create Jobs

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s (HHS) Indian Health Service (IHS) today announced $90 million in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for improved access to vital drinking water and wastewater services in the American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The funds will be invested in ‘shovel ready’ infrastructure projects designed to better protect human and environmental health in Indian Country and to create jobs.

“This investment is win-win. Addressing long-standing water issues in tribal communities is also going to bring in new jobs and new opportunities – helping them get through the economic downturn and build a lasting foundation for prosperity,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “EPA is committed to working with our tribal partners on solutions that benefit our environment, our health, and our economy.”

“This generous Recovery Act funding will make communities in Indian Country safer, healthier and stronger,” HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said. “Everyone should have safe drinking water and sanitation facilities and we’re committed to improving the quality of life in Indian Country.”

Continuing a tradition spanning 20 years, EPA and IHS’ combined effort to improve water services in Indian Country contributed to their identification of 95 wastewater and 64 drinking water priority projects to be completed by IHS’ Sanitation Facilities Construction Program through EPA Recovery Act funds. The projects exceed the Recovery Act requirement that 20 percent of the funds be used for green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency improvements and other environmentally innovative projects.

According to 2007 data from the IHS, approximately 10 percent of tribal homes do not have safe drinking water and/or wastewater disposal facilities compared with 0.6 percent of non-native homes in the United States that lack such infrastructure as measured in 2005 by the U.S. Census. The water and wastewater infrastructure programs are a significant effort to improve tribal access to safe and adequate drinking and wastewater facilities. For example, a project to benefit the Tule River Tribe in Porterville, Calif., will replace failing septic systems, which threaten public health and the environment, with a community wastewater system. The White Mountain Apache Tribe in Whiteriver, Ariz., will benefit from an efficient surface water treatment facility which will provide the quality of drinking water needed to protect the health of residents in over 2,000 homes.

President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 on Feb. 17, 2009, and has directed that the Recovery Act be implemented with unprecedented transparency and accountability. To that end, the American people can see how every dollar is being invested at recovery.gov.
