House: The major issues that must be resolved in merging the three House committee proposals: rates (negotiated rates vs Medicare-based) in the public option; increases to the small business exemption; reductions in affordability credits; matching rates for Medicaid expansions; funding for co-op health plans; advance care/end-of-life counseling; geographic variations in Medicare rates; cost of minimum benefit plan for non-subsidized families; single payer; small employer options through the exchange; extension of the small business tax credit to non-profit employers; comparative-effectiveness research; CHIP costs; how to approach the territories; abortion; and medical malpractice.
Senate: Reports indicate that Senate Finance will vote on its mark this week. Given that today is Thursday, that leaves tomorrow (Friday). We also understand that the merging of the Senate HELP and Finance proposals is well underway and we may see something next week. We anticipate that the merged Senate bill will be on the Senate floor for many weeks.

Hiya, I can' find your email address, so I'm leaving you a comment.
ReplyDeleteI just put together a list of iphone/itouch apps for EMTs/Paramedics, could you share my post with your readers? If there's a app you use often in the field that isn't on my list, let me know in the comments (or email me) and I can add it. Did you know apps can be written off on
taxes?:) Might even be able to write off a iphone too if you can show that you only use it for work (for the apps!).
Here's the post:
