Can Health Coops Do The Job Of A Public Plan?
"Perhaps the clearest sign yet of the unpredictable nature ofò€¦ an ambitious [health care] policy overhaul is the approach that is suddenly starting to emerge on Capitol Hill as an alternative to a public plan - non-profit, consumer run health insurance cooperatives," Time reports. "Despite no public debate on the issue and scant knowledge about how health cooperatives could be set up - not to mention what they would cost, how many people they could insure and, most importantly, how they could bring down the overall cost of health care - the Senate finance committee appears to have tentatively signed on to the concept; a 10-page outline of a plan drafted by the powerful panel included a proposal for such cooperatives - a little understood concept proposed by" Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D. Conrad "has admitted he came up with the idea after giving up hope that bi-partisan legislation was possible if a public health insurance plan was included" (Pickert, 6/22).

Washington Post Examines Northern Virginia Clinic That Serves People Living With HIV/AIDS

The Washington Post examines one of INOVA Juniper Program"s six clinics serving those with HIV/AIDS located "[t]wo blocks down the road" from the old Whitman-Walker clinic, which "served the Northern Virginia HIV/AIDS community for more than a decade, [and] closed this year because of financial constraints." As of late last month the new Arlington, Va., clinic served 198 people, but Karen Berube, director of the program, said she expects to have 250 clients there by the end of the year. By comparison, the Whitman-Walker center treated 678 people at its Arlington clinic, according to the Post. Services are provided on a sliding-fee scale based on income, "but the majority of patients do not pay anything. Instead, they are funded by Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance, or they receive charity care through government and private donor grants," the article states (Caputo, 7/9).
