This message is quite long, but I feel that it should be read, especially by seniors. I am one of those seniors, the health care we receive in the system today is outrageous. we are treated in such a way that it makes you feel that you are just a number going through a production line. With having the experience of the system of today, I wrote to our two senators, our mayor, and the governor of our state over a year ago, and to this date I have not had one single reply. I lost my wife three years ago due to the treatment that she has received. I have mourned every single day since. I feel the health care she received was a factor to her early passing. As I mentioned above the message is long, but it should be read. At the very end is message from a person who received the very same test as my wife, if nothing else, just click that in. Every senior in this land of ours should read this message. Sincerely, Vincent T Ciano Click the Url to continue. http://community.webtv.net/bd14me/messagetoforward |

Governor Linda Lingle made the decision as part of a fiscal re-evaluation to address a looming $900-million revenue shortfall by 2011. Intended to cover previously uninsured children with parents ineligible for Medicaid, the public-private partnership between the state and the Hawaii Medical Service Association had 2,000 enrollees when it was shelved. State officials had anticipated about 3,500 children would eventually enroll in the program (out of up to 16,000 estimated uninsured children in the state) but were surprised to find many parents dropping their existing private coverage they were paying for to enroll their children in the "free" program. HMSA, the private partner in Keiki Care to whom the decision came as a "complete surprise," announced that they would continue paying for the coverage through the end of the year. They also noted that they offer private insurance at $55 per month per child. While that's significantly more than the $7 co-pay for office visits under Keiki Care that parents had to come up with for office visits, the state was paying $25.50 per month per child---while the cost was being supplemented by the HSMA, the rate was sure to rise as more children enrolled in "free" healthcare. Dropping Keiki Care may not seem like the child-friendly thing to do, but given the examples set for government intrusion into healthcare on the mainland, Hawaiian parents may have been saved big tax bills in the long run. |
