The Health 202: Jayapal's Medicare-for-all bill reflects influence of hard-line progressive groups
And NNU achieved another goal: Jayapal’s bill would essentially halt Medicare’s experimentation with value-based payments in which doctors and hospitals are paid based on their results and not just the volume of services provided.
It would also upend Medicare’s reimbursement system — in which providers are compensated for each service they perform — by instead giving lump-sum payments to hospitals and nursing homes based on their estimated costs. Supporters of the Jayapal bill insist there’s a groundswell of grass-roots enthusiasm for a dramatic overhaul of the country’s patchwork of private and public insurance plans.
“Oklahoma is seeking payments that could exceed $1 billion from the companies to cover the costs of coping with the drug crisis,” Lenny writes. “ But the state argued that Purdue wanted the postponement to prepare for a bankruptcy declaration that would move the case to bankruptcy court. OUCH: A new case study from the CDC revealed details of a 2017 case of an unvaccinated 6-year-old in Oregon who contracted tetanus and accumulated more than $800,000 in medical charges — before that, it had been more than three decades since the state saw a case of tetanus in children.
“The complex and prolonged care led to the high treatment cost,” an author of the report, Judith Guzman-Cottrill, told The Post. “In contrast, the cost of one DTaP dose is somewhere around $24-$30 a dose, and this illness could have been prevented with five doses of DTaP vaccine.”
