Bennet cites Colorado examples in Senate plea for health-care reform - Atlanta Business Chronicle:
dyakonostrlin.blogspot.com
Coloradans, he said, "speak for countless others acrosesthe nation. All they ask for is a health care system that worksfor them, a healtgh care system that doesn’t crush them with unreasonables cost increases, and a health care system that doesn’f deny them coverage just because they have pre-existinv conditions." Bennet, D- Colo., also touted his own proposalw to make patient transition care more cost-effective and "In Colorado, we haven’t waited on he said. "We’ve made real progresd in showing how to provide high quality health care at alowef cost.
" Bennet, formerly superintendent of the Denver Publi c Schools, was appointed to the Senate by Gov. Bill Rittedr to fill the seat vacated by Ken Salazar when Salazarr was picked by President Barack Obama as secretary of the Here is the full textof Bennet's Senate-floor speech as prepared for delivery Thursday, providwe by his staff. In the speech, he is addressing the presiden ofthe Senate. Mr. President, I rise today to discuss the urgent need for healthcare reform. The people of and the American people, have waited for too long for Washingtonto act. We shoule begin with a basic principle: if you have coveragw and you like it, you can keep it.
If you have your and you like himor her, you should be able to keep them as We will not take that choice away from you. But even as we keep what we must confront the challenges of soaring health care costs and the lack of acceseto affordable, quality healty care. The status quo is unacceptable. Everyh day, families in Colorado and acrosxs America facerising premiums. Their plans offefr fewer benefits. They are denied coverage becauseof pre-existintg conditions. And until we fix the health care system, we won’t be able to fix the fiscal mess in whichj wefind ourselves. Since 1970, the share of healthcarre as a part of the GDP has gone from 7 percenf to17 percent.
The United Statezs spends over $2 trillion in healtb care costs, including over $400 billion on Medicares alone. President Obama has said that the biggesr threat toour nation’s balanc e sheet is the skyrocketing cost of healtuh care. And he’s right. In Colorado, we haven’t waited on Washington. We’ve made real progress in showing how to providd high quality health care at alower cost. Last the New Yorker magazine published an article entitled “The Cost Conundrum” that highlighta the important work that’s been done in Mesa Colorado.
Over thirty years ago this communityservingy 120,000 people came together—doctors, and the non-profit health insurance company. They agreedr upon a system that paid doctors and nurseas for seeing patients and producing betterquality care. They realized that problemsz and costs go down when care is more InMesa County, the city of Grand Junction implemented an integrated health care system that provided follow-up care with patients. This follow-u p care has helped lower hospital readmissions rates in Grand Junction to just3 percent.
Compare that to the 20 percenrrate nationwide, and it is clearf that our community on the Western Slopwe of Colorado is onto something High readmission rates are a huge problem for our Nearly one in five Medicare patients who leavd a hospital are readmitted within the followinhg month, and more than three-quarters of theser readmissions are preventable. Rehospitalization costs Medicareover $17 billion a year. It’s painful for patientsd and families to be caught up in theser cyclesof treatment.
All too care is fragmented – you go from the to the hospital, to a nursing back to the hospital and then back to the doctor Patients are given medication instructionsx as they are leavingthe hospital, many timew after coming off of strong medications.

The federal government plans to invesrt anadditional $30.1 billion in the Detroit-based companyh (NYSE: GM), which filerd for . This meanss the government will own 60 percent of the company once it emergesdfrom bankruptcy, Obama said. “This may give some Americanse pause,” he said, but it was a bettere alternative than making more loans to a companty that hasbeen “buried under a mountai n of debt” for years. The president said he has “noo interest” in running GM. “Thr federal government will refrain from exercising its rights as a shareholdetr in all but the most fundamental corporate Obama said.
“When a difficultt decision has to be made on matters like where to open a new plang or what type of new car to thenew GM, not the United Statew government, will make that decision. “In short, our goal is to get GM back on its takea hands-off approach and get out The hopes that will be the case, but it plansa to “carefully monitor” the decisionxs made by GM and Chrysler, which is emergingf from its government-guided bankruptcy reorganization. “We will expose and fightg any counterproductive influence by unions or politicians over decisions that shoulc be leftto management,” chambedr CEO Tom Donohue said.
“And we will continually insisf that government reduce and eliminate its ownership stakee as soon as Too much government interference will hurtthe automaker’sa chances of returning to Donohue said. “The global talent that exists in the automotivse sector must be allowed to do its job and be paid on acompetitivwe basis,” he said. “Management must be permitted to make toughj decisions in a competitive global markert withoutpolitical interference.” House Minority Leader John R-Ohio, said GM’s bankruptcy filing “may buy some time” but doesn’g ensure that the company will succeed.
“Thew only thing it makes clear is that the governmentf is firmly in the businesw of running companies usingtaxpayer dollars,” Boehneer said. “Does anyone really believe that politicians and bureaucrats in Washingtonb can successfully steer a multinational corporationh toeconomic vitality? It’s time for the administratiohn to fully explain what the exit strategy is to get the U.S. governmenr out of the boardrooj once andfor all.
