10 Health Care Reform:

Lisa Murkowski opposes the Democrats’ version of health care reform that was passed by the Congress because it will increase health care costs and insurance premiums, making it even more difficult for Alaskans to obtain access to health care and afford health care insurance.

The Democrats’ health care bill will impose additional fees as a result of those higher costs. A study by Mark Foster, one of Alaska’s leading health care analysts, found that under the law, premiums in Alaska would rise by 12 percent, a net increase of about $1,160 for some individuals and $2,950 for some families. Foster also predicts that roughly 50 percent of the health care plans in the state would be subject to a 40 percent excise tax on high value insurance plans. In addition, the bill does nothing to fix the Medicare reimbursement rate for Alaska, which exacerbates the problem of access to a health care provider.

Lisa Murkowski supports health care reform that:•Guarantees insurance coverage to those with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or mental diseases, as well as for rare or genetic conditions;
•Bans insurance companies from denying claims or canceling coverage because of a newly detected health condition;
•Ensures those who like their health coverage can keep it, even if they move or switch jobs;
•Guarantees important health care decisions are made by you and your doctor, rather than federal bureaucrats.
•Prevents insurance companies from placing financial limitations or caps on how much they will pay for your treatment; and
•Provides for medical liability reform that will result in lower health care costs for doctors and patients alike.
Reimbursement Rates . . .Lisa Murkowski notes that one of the simplest ways to reduce health care costs is through preventative care that prevents chronic disease. Type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease and stroke have the potential to be averted if preventative measures are taken.

To achieve this goal, patients must be able to access a health care provider, a task not always as simple as it should be given the high cost of providing health care services in Alaska. That is why Senators Ted Stevens and Lisa Murkowski obtained a permanent 35 percent increase in the Medicare reimbursement rate for Alaska.

As small business owners, practitioners must have some predictability to forecast overhead expenses, labor, rent, and malpractice costs. Constantly fluctuating Medicare reimbursement rates lead to instability within the health care community. That is why Lisa Murkowski is a co-sponsor of legislation that would replace the Medicare reimbursement rate formula with an index that would keep reimbursements in line with practice costs.
