EARLYBIRD

Tuesday, December 1, 2009 8:57 AM

From this morning's Earlybird:

• "As the Senate launches into an expected marathon health care debate this month, interest groups are working furiously to shape -- or spike -- the current legislation," Roll Call (subscription) reports. "From deep inside Metro stations to aboveground in Capitol Hill offices, lawmakers and their staffs will be deluged with messages from health care stakeholders."

• "Abortion-rights groups are holding a lobby day on Wednesday to fight language in the House healthcare bill that would impose greater restrictions on access to the controversial procedure," The Hill reports. "Abortion-rights groups Planned Parenthood, NARAL-Pro-Choice America and others are sponsoring a lobby day on Wednesday as part of a national 'week of action' in opposition to the" amendment from Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., restricting the use of federal funds for abortions.

• "Stimulus money for high-speed rail has sparked a feeding frenzy among lobbyists, according to a new report from a watchdog group," the Chicago Tribune reports. "Competition for federal stimulus grants led more than 50 groups to lobby on high-speed rail policy in the third quarter of 2009, the Center for Public Integrity reports. That number is roughly triple the 17 groups doing so just a year earlier."

All the decisions took by the Senate seem to be influenced by the many influence groups. This is one of the main reasons for the lack of initiatives in this department! I have been working for many years in some of the best holistic rehab Florida centers and although the health care standards were always the highest, the financial situation was always the other way around. Maybe it's about time the senate stops debating and start approving some measures to help these medical institutions which struggle to survive financially!

In the last few years there have been discussions on modifying the health bill, but every time they get stuck someplace and every thing ends! For example, in several countries, the importance of some plants to people's health has been recognized by the medical community and those plant based drugs were approved by all health related organizations. In our fair country, for example, although many studies have proved the usefulness of cannabis seeds in treating some mental disorders, out authorities still haven't found a way to agree on making every thing legal. Maybe next year, when the discussion will begin again!

I agree that these kinds of debates are pointless. They will never reach to a point where they all agree and take real measures. Yes, there are things that they could do, but still, they don't! They should let people know about all the possibilities they have. They should improve some techniques that are not well known like chiropractic. My uncle is a chiropractor and he told me stuff about it, or else I wouldn't have known.

I don't like politics and most of the times I don't give too much importance to political debates because in my opinion all they do is talk without taking any measures to improve the system. There are so many important aspects that they should focus on! Improving treatment centers for example. My best friend contacted a Florida rehab center to get help and it was one of the few centers that really helped her.

Specialists could even write about the historical flow of changes in the health care system reforms. However, consistent changes have been noticed like for the last five years or so. Medicare has been an important step in improving health care system for citizens, with more access to the medical assistance, though on behalf of greater financial estate investments and therefore more taxes for the citizens. Even so, apart from these changes, there have been a change in the private health care products consumer behavior. More and more sales on horny goat weed and similar products have been reported lately. We should inquire and see where this is going.

I have a better idea, what if each member of Congress that supports this bill would be forced to cancel their health care plan and take on this new one instead. That would only be fair for them, just getting the same kind of treatment as all of us. I don't want live in a society where teenage drug rehab is over crowded, and I don't think that the citizens will put up with these laws much longer.

A bit too much is invested in lobbying and advertising I think, I saw some figures for last year too.. or maybe I'm not aware of how much is invested in other issues related to healthcare, like reasearch, patient beds, treatment, Anorexia Treatment, instruments and so on... If I did I could compare the sum with what is invested in lobbying.

They never cease to amaze me with their political debates. Interest groups have always been interested in almost everything especially healthcare, communication and transportation because that's where the big money is being made and everyone knows that. What's going to happen to the mediocre employee who's been through a depression and turned to drugs ? What is he suppose to do ? I have a friend on the west coast and he had drug problems 4 years back. Back then if you searched Google for

drug rehab San Francisco

you wouldn't have found that many centers but nowadays specialized help exists if you can afford it. The not so fortunate are left behind once again.
