Acorn monitoring my weight? BureauRats telling me I need a vaccine? Don't F***in think so!
This is in the Senate Help Committee Health Reform Bill. There is no way we can let this stuff go through. I have much more to read but I want to know what to look out for when they get back in session and eventually get together to draft the final bill.
Subtitle C: Creating Healthier Communities
Synopsis: This subtitle enables health improvement to occur in communities as well as in medical settings.
Most chronic diseases can be prevented through lifestyle and environmental changes. Community
prevention programs encourage physical activity, good nutrition, and the reduction of tobacco use, making
it easier for individuals to make healthy choices.
Community Transformation Grants: This section authorizes the Secretary to award competitive grants to eligible
entities for programs that promote individual and community health and prevent the incidence of chronic disease.
Communities can carry out programs to prevent and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases associated with
overweight and obesity, tobacco use, or mental illness; or other activities that are consistent with the goals of
promoting healthy communities. [§ 321]
Healthy Aging, Living Well: The goal of this program is to improve the health status of the pre-Medicare-eligible
population to help control chronic disease and reduce Medicare costs. The CDC would provide grants to states or
large local health departments to conduct pilot programs in the 55-to-64 year old population. Pilot programs would
evaluate chronic disease risk factors, conduct evidence-based public health interventions, and ensure that individuals
identified with chronic disease or at-risk for chronic disease receive clinical treatment to reduce risk. Pilot programs
would be evaluated for success in controlling Medicare costs in the community.
[§ 322]
Wellness for Individuals with Disabilities: Amends the Americans with Disabilities Act to establish standards for
accessibility of medical diagnostic equipment to individuals with disabilities. [§ 323]
Immunizations: Authorizes states to purchase adult vaccines under CDC contracts. Currently, 23 states purchase
vaccines under CDC contracts. These contracts for adult vaccines provide savings that range from 23-69 percent
compared to the private sector cost. Authorizes a demonstration program to improve immunization coverage. Under
this program, CDC will provide grants to states to improve immunization coverage of children, adolescents, and
adults through the use of evidence-based interventions. States may use funds to implement interventions that are
recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force, such as reminders or recalls for patients or
providers, or home visits. Reauthorizes the Immunization Program in Section 317 of the Public Health Service Act.
[§ 324]
