On the role of government in the field of public health in California takes the lead Affairs
Who would have thought that the two leaders in the context of Hollywood more than health professionals, reform has helped to strengthen the debate at the State Capitol to one of the CA on pressing issues? But the former action hero turned activists Dir Arnold Schwarzenegger and tends to the left filmmaker Michael Moore have demonstrated the need for a comprehensive settlement of health care reform our two radars and cinema screens. Finally, we believe that the political finesse of Schwarzenegger and Top rule of law and government leaders of the prescription is needed to heal our health care woes, identifying actions and courageous decisions.
The critical nature of the problem has led our two organizations large-scale business - the Bay Area Council and Silicon Valley Leadership Group - to become familiar with the matter. Speaking on behalf of the combination of our 500 member companies employers, we have the unique step in a unusual alliance of California interest groups concerned, it is the AARP, Service Employees International Union and California Teachers Association. This coalition, known as “Together for HealthCare now has some surprising Sacramento. But there must be a partnership of unlikely bedfellows “at a concert broken our healthcare system for his sick bed. As legislators debate of California health care this summer, we hope it is always a goal of Top and four major principles in mind:
– Start with the underlying objective, we need comprehensive health care reform this year. With 1 5 uninsured Californians and other 4 5 concerned about the future of accessibility and availability of their health care, time to wait or whine. Our four key principles for reform are as follows:
1) The reform should cover all Californians. Life Raft, we call health care has given rise to many holes in their survival. Patching the hole nearest we can ensure that we are afloat for a while, but eventually, the entire series of valleys. Some well-intentioned plans in Sacramento, covering a large portion of our citizens, but unless everyone is covered, our rate of health insurance funds can not stabilize.
2) We must emphasize, well-being. The cost of staying healthy is much less than the enormous costs to treat us when we are sick. The nutrition, health, nutrition and movement - Children in old age, from cradle to grave - are the key to comprehensive reform. About weight, an alarming increase in rates of type 2 diabetes and related diseases have resulted in higher costs and the explosion of health problems. We have to couch-potato culture and replace fast food with fitness.
3) a reasonable plan to call to responsibility. If the system of health-care crisis is a priority for all Californians, then all Californians should play a role in the solution. We are developing a load of ideas, saying, “this issue is so important to me, I want you to pay.” If we all contribute, we can all benefit. To do this, because each and every employers.
4) focuses on the care of hidden costs to pay us. It is lightweight, but it is wrong to assume that if our own families, health insurance, we’re OK. With 1 5 Californians lack health coverage, and increasingly, wind rest of us pay for their care - which is a general rule, nor by higher costs related to treatment in hospital emergency. California Health and Human Services estimates the Secretary General Kim Belshé this “hidden tax” on policyholders to approximately $ 1200 per family each year, as we treatment for subscriptions had no insurance.
We believe that the governor’s approach each of these seizures and key elements of support for his judicious approach to reform. We have a unique opportunity for a comprehensive health care reform in California this year. The key to success is not meeting and see what happens on a cinema screen. Let’s make the popcorn and our pens and mobile phones to our legislators today. If we can reform this year, it should not be a sequel to any time soon.
