As Health Plan Falters, Maine Explores Changes - New York Times
Maine is reforming its health care plan. Although their plan offers health care for many of those in need, the demand was greater then anticipated. There are thousands of people who do not receive the proper medical treatment for serious aliments. And Maine has just learned that their reform program needs to be adjusted to accommodate these patients.

Is Health Reform a state problem?
Whittier Daily News - Health reform gaining steam
While Governor Schwazengger gathers support for his health reform plan, he ignores the concerns of some groups who feel the plan maybe too expensive. But Schwazengger, is committed to making California one of the first states to insure everyone. He is motivated by the millions of uninsured voters, who need health care and is unwilling to check the details.
State governors are tackling a federal problem at the state level. This is new territory for many governors elected today. Many states are considering reform bills for their health care systems. Why hasn't the federal government taken notice of this problem? If any one's job should be based on the state of health care in this country, it should be the president's.

In the past couple of days I have seen many articles on how cuts in Health Care services can hurt a community. This is especially the case in poor communities. Brooklyn is dealing with this problem now. Budget cuts have closed many local hospitals in Brooklyn. Lack of community health care creates a health care black hole where serious health care issues are neglected.

The Medicare Privatization Scam - New York Times
The Medicare Privatization Scam - New York Times
Medicare plans that can actually save the government money? Well according to an editorial in the New York Times, the government pays private medicare management companies huge subsidizes to help manage medicare patients. These providers are then able to charge their clients lower rates while offering the same service and paying the doctors and hospitals the same rates that they get under medicare.
Who knew, the government has a plan to help people save money on health insurance, they just don't know how to distribute it to the masses.

MY MOVIE!
This is my movie, I had to make some corrections. Check it out and tell me what you think.
Is it really that great?
Illinois Health Connect
I feel confused about Illinois Health Connect, the new statewide plan in Illinois. It is supposed to help the millions of Illinoisans receive health coverage. However understanding the double talk and vague language of this plan makes me suspicious. Not to mention that many hospitals are not accepting new patients under the states plan and are virtually freezing out Medicaid patients. But please if I am over reacting prove me wrong.
