Hearst Magazines Feds Bolster High Risk Insurance Funds In Two States Short Takes On News & Events By Phil Galewitz December 22nd, 2011, 4:51 PM The federal government this month increased funding to New Hampshire and California to make sure their new high-risk pools that provide coverage to uninsured people with pre-existing condition don’t run out of money before 2014. Because nationwide enrollment has been far less than expected, overall federal funding for the program established under the health overhaul appears plentiful– $5 billion was set aside and less than $500 million has been spent in the first 16 months. But funding allotments for a few states are beginning to run low, largely because the health costs have been higher than expected. Officials in both California and New Hampshire feared they might start running out of funds by early next year. New Hampshire, which was allotted $20 million, was given another $30 million.
GeneTests Welcome to the Bichon Poo Review Heal Your Heart; Heal Your Life We are all familiar with saying such as “Slow down or you’ll have a heart attack,” or “He died of a broken heart.” Well, it turns out there is some truth in these metaphors. Scientists are now finding out that chronic stress can literally break your heart, while compassion and mindful breathing may help to heal it. Stephen Porges, a psychophysiologist and Professor at the University of Illonois at Chicago has proposed a Polyvagal Theory that ties our unconscious perceptions of threat and safety to heart rate rhythm and the ability to regulate physiological arousal. This theory proposes that the vagus nerve communicates between the brain and the heart and affects human response to threat as well as social engagement and bonding. This theory can explain why negative emotions such as depression , frustration, or hostility may stress the heart, while positive emotions, slow, deep breathing, exercise and social support may calm it. {*style:<b> A smooth heart rhythm can extend life
Health care reform benefit changes in 2011 - Mar. 3 By Parija Kavilanz, senior writerMarch 3, 2011: 6:01 AM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Under health care reform, consumers will see several new changes to their insurance coverage this year, the most significant of which affects the nation's 47 million Medicare beneficiaries. Amy Bergner, principal with global benefits consulting firm Mercer, said senior citizens who are also Medicare enrollees will see the biggest effects. "One of the most important changes is how much seniors will now pay for prescription medicines," Bergner said. Here's what you need to know: 50% discount on prescription drugs: On Jan. 1, drugmakers began giving seniors a 50% discount on brand-name prescription medicines filled in the Medicare Part D "coverage gap." When Medicare beneficiaries fall into the coverage gap, also known as the "donut hole," Medicare stops paying for drug coverage and patients can't afford to pay for drugs out-of-pocket. Share this

FedStats Democratic Party (United States) Since the 1930s, the party has promoted a social liberal platform.[2][11][12] Until the late 20th century the party had a powerful conservative and populist wing based in the rural South, which over time has greatly diminished. Today its Congressional caucus is composed mostly of progressives and centrists.[13] History The Democratic Party evolved from the Jeffersonian Republican or Democratic-Republican Party organized by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in opposition to the Federalist party of Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. 1860s 1900s Agrarian Democrats demanding Free Silver overthrew the Bourbon Democrats in 1896 and nominated William Jennings Bryan for the presidency (a nomination repeated by Democrats in 1900 and 1908).
