A brand new health care bill was introduced on May 11, 2009 by Senator Michael Bennett of Colorado that was supposed to advance patient care and reduce the amount of money being spent on health care. It is called the Medicare Transitions Act of 2009. This bill is designed to manage patient care by enabling the Medicare patients to get immediate intervention and follow-up services that are effective once they get out of hospital.
It is meant to provide the public with a national list of transition care providers within their communities. It is for giving care to Medicare patients who still need medical help even after leaving hospital up to the point when they would be able to take care of themselves.
There would be personal follow-up care given to enable the elderly patients to self-manage their condition well and see that they administer their medications properly.
This bill will reduce the cost of medical care and reduce the number of people who return to hospitals for readmission. Very many old people normally get caught up in this as one out of every five discharged from hospital each month get to return for readmission.
This would not be necessary if proper follow-up services are not done. Personal care and follow-up will enable them get good treatment and proper self-care advise.
Medic and Medicaid expenses are the highest deficits in the national budgets today. This is why it is becoming increasingly important to be able to cut these costs by making sure the senior care is improved in these hard economic times. The health care reforms for the elderly and securing the future are a must.
President Obama has already provided the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) - that enables $2 billion to be injected into community care centers, revamping the high standards of care for the elderly and reactivate the economy and so forth. It is the health centers that are supposed to give the good care for those needing it even if not all of them will have insurance.
Unfortunately, a very large number of seniors are unable to afford health care and this makes the nation feel the pinch. The elderly need high standard and affordable health care coverage but this can pose a very big challenge that can impact hard on the public. It can increase longevity and also help to reduce the deficit in the national budget of America.
