A bipartisan attempt at shoring up the Affordable Care Act is officially over in the Senate. The development comes as the GOP has revived its partisan attack on “Obamacare,” with Senate leaders and President Donald Trump pushing repeal and replace legislation. GOP Sen.

Report: Obamacare Ads Work

When Trump administration officials slashed the advertising budget for healthcare.gov, the Affordable Care Act’s online marketplace, they said it was because of efficiency. Advertising, they said, was showing “diminishing returns” and was no longer an effective way to boost enrollment. But research that the Department of Health and Human Services conducted and then distributed internally […]

Push “Medicare for All”

Washington – The smartest, savviest people in Washington will tell you Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for all” idea is dead on arrival, a waste of time and energy. But since those same smart, savvy people told you Donald Trump didn’t have a prayer of becoming president, I’d advise keeping an open mind. What the Vermont senator’s […]

Sitting Too Long Can Kill You

In 1960, approximately 50 percent of U.S. jobs required heavy to moderate physical activity. Today, that number stands at just 20 percent, meaning approximately 80 percent of jobs are almost wholly sedentary or demand minimal physical exertion. The vast majority of us spend the bulk of our workdays being mostly immobile, glued to our chairs […]

Initiative Targets Disparities in Rural N.C.

A first-ever effort to marshal the combined resources of 12 ECU colleges and schools, 14 centers and institutes and university partners behind a single, coordinated campaign, the “Rural Prosperity Initiative,” was launched today by Chancellor Cecil P. Staton. East Carolina University is focusing its extensive research and engagement expertise on finding solutions to the extraordinary […]

Trump Was for Single-Payer Before

Donald Trump has heard about Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) “Medicare for All” plan, and he turned to Twitter yesterday to assure Americans the progressive proposal isn’t going anywhere. “Bernie Sanders is pushing hard for a single payer healthcare plan – a curse on the U.S. & its people. I told Republicans to approve healthcare fast […]

Congress Rejects Cuts for Health Research

Back in March, when President Trump released the first draft of his budget proposal for the coming fiscal year, he asked lawmakers for deep cuts to one of their favorite institutions, the National Institutes of Health — part of a broad reordering of priorities, away from science and social spending, toward defense and border security. […]

Lawmakers Strike Deal on Children’s Insurance

The chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the top Democrat on the panel announced on Tuesday night that they had reached agreement on a plan to prevent the imminent exhaustion of federal funds for the Children’s Health Insurance Program. The current appropriation runs out at the end of this month, and many states will […]

Study: Some Disparities Remain Even With ACA

While the Affordable Care Act has helped to significantly reduce care and access disparities between socioeconomic groups, more work is needed to create true coverage equity, according to a new study from Oregon Health and Sciences University. Between 2012 and 2015, the rate of uninsured visits to community health centers (CHCs) decreased by 68 percent […]

Study: Premature Babies of Color Get Worse Care

Babies dubbed “very low birth weight infants” are born at less than three pounds five ounces—about the size of a cantaloupe. They’re typically many weeks premature, and usually have to spend around the first 50 days of their lives in a neonatal intensive care unit. These babies already start off behind the curve, and the […]

Time for a Plan

Republican candidates got a boost on the eve of last fall’s election when insurers announced big increases in Obamacare premiums for 2017. Unfortunately, the GOP seems intent on making next year’s premium increases even larger. According to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, the combination of decisions by President Donald Trump and uncertainty about what action […]
