Doctors Contracting Directly With Patients
Last week’s Grand Rounds, hosted at Bedside Manner, included an interesting article from Dr. Alan Dappen at Get Better Health. Dr. Dappen is inviting his fellow primary care physicians to switch their practices over to a system of directly contracting with patients rather than with health insurance companies and Medicare/Medicaid. He explains that 75% of people would be able to receive their primary care services for about $300 a year in this sort of system. Their health insurance could still be used for emergencies, higher-cost specialists, and serious illnesses or injuries. The
NYC Mayor Aims to Ban Smoking in More Places

In the lawsuit, the elected officials plan to fight the requirement that most individuals must obtain health insurance to avoid penalties from the government.
Judge Won’t Dismiss Lawsuit
After presiding over a two-hour hearing regarding constitutionality of the health care reform law, Judge Roger Vinson of Federal District Court announced that he was leaning toward allowing representatives from 20 states push forward in their lawsuit.

Government Announces Upcoming Distracted Driving Summit
While considerable progress has been made in recent months against the problem of distracted driving, the U.S. government is continuing to maintain its focus on doing more to keep motorists safe and to help keep auto insurance rates down.
Numerous states have taken steps in the past couple of years to ban distracted driving.
