Letter to the editor: Critics should take a new attitude on health reform

Too darn many people seem to want the health care bill to fail. It is the law of the land. Instead of endlessly criticizing it, they should take what could be called the Pearl Harbor attitude. Get to build the armed forces to defeat the enemy. What would happen if they took the same resolve to make the health care plan work? The critics should consider that instead of trying to sabotage it from the beginning.

GOP Obamacare -- strategy: Repeal, reform and cut

There’s an ongoing debate among Republicans about what it means to repeal Obamacare. Does it mean abolishing the whole thing? Does it mean nullifying just the most troublesome parts? Repealing and simultaneously enacting a new set of reforms? Or repealing and then starting a new debate on what reforms to make?

Letter to the editor: Reform needed now in U.S. financial services industry

Congress has more work to do. As critical as reforming our health insurance system is to stabilizing the nation’s long-term economic outlook, it is just as vital that Congress reform and strengthen the rules by which our nation’s financial services industry operates.

Pomeroy: Reform is constitutional

Health care reform legislation is constitutional, including a mandate requiring people to buy health insurance, Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., told the Herald editorial board Thursday. “Social Security’s constitutional,” Pomeroy said, adding that program also requires people to buy something. “Every paystub has a payment that goes into retirement annuity,” he said. “The difference is that’s a government program. This one’s based in private insurance companies.”

Conrad: N.D. gets fair deal from reform

A crucial but often overlooked component of the sprawling health reform package is the incentives medical providers will have to deliver good outcomes at lower cost, Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said Wednesday. Conrad, flanked by local hospital administrators and representatives of nurses, physicians and seniors’ organizations that backed reform, briefed reporters on key elements of the package.

Conrad: Health care reform critical to N.D.

Health care reform legislation was needed because it was “critically important to the state and to the nation that we move forward,” Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said in Grand Forks on Tuesday as he discussed the bill and how it will help North Dakota. Conrad held a press conference at Altru Hospital to discuss some key provisions in the legislation. But he first had to address confusion about the bill and also explain how it will work.

Health overhaul likely to strain doctor shortage

Better beat the crowd and find a doctor. Primary care physicians already are in short supply in parts of the country, and the landmark health overhaul that will bring them millions more newly insured patients in the next few years promises extra strain. The new law goes beyond offering coverage to the uninsured, with steps to improve the quality of care for the average person and help keep us well instead of today’s seek-care-after-you’re-sick culture. To benefit, you’ll need a regular health provider.

Right’s anger could backfire

Talk about sore losers. Just when you think the health care debate can’t sink any lower, somebody manages to punch through the floor. The ink of President Barack Obama’s signature was hardly dry on his health care overhaul legislation before reports of vandalism and death threats against congressmen on both political sides threatened to upstage the bill that apparently sparked the anger.

Reform puts debt on future generations

The victory came ugly and it was narrow. But it was also sweet. It was historic and, politically, it was big. The question is: Will the passage of health care reform also prove a Pyrrhic victory for Democrats — one that will devastate the winners in the 2010 elections? Republicans think so, citing polls showing health care reform to be deeply unpopular.

Premiums could increase 17 percent for young adults

Under the health care overhaul, young adults who buy their own insurance will carry a heavier burden of the medical costs of older Americans — a shift expected to raise insurance premiums for young people when the plan takes full effect. Beginning in 2014, most Americans will be required to buy insurance or pay a tax penalty. That’s when premiums for young adults seeking coverage on the individual market would likely climb by 17 percent on average, or roughly $42 a month, according to an analysis of the plan conducted for The Associated Press. The analysis did not factor in tax credits to help offset the increase.

Letter to the editor: Abortion not included as covered expense in bill

Opponents to health care reform have been raising fears that the Senate health care reform bill will increase the number of abortions. This is a deeply flawed argument that is inaccurate on two important counts.
