Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Please don’t feed the bears.

White supremacy is terrorism.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

This really is a full service blog.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Good news everybody

Covered California has some very good news for their enrollment up to February 15th:

This strong enrollment trend is extending into February, where in the first two weeks more than 100,000 individuals enrolled in Covered California, increasing the cumulative total enrollment in Covered California to 828,638.

 
“These enrollment numbers mean that with six weeks to go, California has already exceeded its projected base enrollment for the 2014 open-enrollment period…
 
Enrollment of young adults 18 to 34 years old is trending slightly upward
Seems like things are working.
 
One other note.  The press release has 80% of first month payments made.  There is one caveat.  Any policy that was purchased after Dec. 29, 2013 has an effective date of either February 1st or March 1st.  The due date for first premium payment for a February 1 effective date would be February 14 or later.  Coverage that starts on March 1st (enrolled after January 15th) does not need payment until at least March 14th.  The proportion of policies that either have been paid for or are still within the window for on-time payment is significantly higher than 80%.

    The ads for Covered California are freakin’ everywhere. Just about any public gathering has a staffed Covered California table — I saw one on the Venice boardwalk, which is best known for art displays and freak shows (some of them professional). If this PPACA thing doesn’t work out, it won’t be from lack of trying by my state.

    I had to enroll my wife into the California program and the biggest problem was the insurance company. It was difficult to pay the premium because the insurer did not have a direct connect to the site. I filled out the forms for my wife (doesn’t do well with computer forms) and stated so as part of the sign-up. So the paperwork strongly implied it was I who was insured, not my wife. Later billing-actually a receipt– indicated it was my wife. They also mangled my name and truncated her hyphenated last name.

    I’m still not sure if she’s insured but I do believe if it’s FUBAR it’s their responsibility. (don’t even think about calling them! “all of our representatives are busy. they’ll start answering the phones again after the cocktail hour…”)

    Elevators at work have LCD screens with news, stock, sports, traffic, etc. updates. A headline came up about the CA enrollment and the dude next to me said, “Obamacare’s gonna ruin this country, wait and see.” There was lots of laughter.

    After he got off I asked, “Were we laughing at him or with him?”

    Unanimous (amongst people who answered), “At him.”

    Add Maryland to your list of states who screwed it up. Things are better now, but for a while there was talk of switching Maryland to the federal system because it was working better than the state system.

    At this point I think everybody is just concentrating on making things run better next year.

    Thanks for the news. I agree with Mnemosyne, you have to go radio/TV/internet/newspaper blackout in order not to see or hear a Covered California ad. Also a swarm of ads from private providers and insurers, some either explicitly mentioning it, many not. I’m not sure what the tie-in for them is when they don’t mention Covered California explicitly. Maybe just to get their name out in hopes people signing will see them in the network for some plans and they will get more patients that they want coming their way.

    My impression is that at least half the private ads are either explicitly or implicitly aimed at young adults, or minorities (African-American, Hispanic, or Asian). Seems like a lot of social engineering aimed at persuading certain populations to consider dealing with formal medical care, rather than informal family support, particularly for end of life care and disabilities, and chronic diseases like diabetes and arthritis.

    If my impression is correct, I don’t know know enough about the marketing and provider finance aspect to understand how it all fits together.

    The federal system seems to be working pretty much ok at this point though there are still some bugs. For instance, I am trying to help my mom sign up. I fed in all her information and i get an error message just as we are about to take the final step after electronically signing the application. Which sends is back to her profile and we go through the whole thing again.

    For myself I am happy to say I got a silver cigna plan in Florida with no deductible (co pays are a little high but reasonable) for $100 a month after the subsidy.

    @Mnemosyne: I heard they really fucked up their Latino/Spanish language outreach, however, like Spanish language ads directing you to an English language website, and so on. Can you comment, since you’re over there?

    Florida is outperforming a lot of heel-dragging states because there is an army of volunteers (ETA: in South Florida) going door-to-door. Probably helps that the federal site/phone line is Spanish-friendly.

    It’s the more Republican part of the state that is getting screwed by the refusal to expand Medicaid and Scott’s attempts to block navigators. I mean, except for Sarasota and the Villages (selfish old rich GOPers), because they have socialized medicine already. It’s working people in red counties that are getting screwed.

    Just think what these numbers mean nationwide. California has 10% of the population and will obviously sign up over 1 million before March 31. If all the states had pro-actively acted in good faith (I know, I know) we would be looking at somewhere around 10 million signed up nationwide by the end of March. And most likely more than 10 million entered into expanded Medicaid programs. Add several million young adults able to be enrolled on their parent’s policies and you are approaching 25 million additional covered THE FIRST YEAR!

    It is painfully obvious why so many Republican Governors and legislators have resisted, and in many cases tried to sabotage the ACA. If close to 25 million were covered by the end of the first year of sign-ups they would be wiped out in the 2014 mid-term elections.

    @jl: The provider ads are a teabagger’s worst nightmare. Also noticed some pretty good tax prep provider ads recently–the online, inexpensive providers, not those HR Block ripoff artists–that were like a celebration of taxes. I don’t think the gov’t is even allowed to run “propaganda” like that. First time I ever saw a good side to the fact that GOP forced IRS to privatize online tax filing for individuals rather than having a government-direct option.

    Some of those healthcare coverage ads have been manipulative in a good way. Be interesting to see what the “direct” #s are this year, and whether people switch between exchange and direct next year (like if they catch on about whether it benefits them to do one or the other).

    The website is only barely useable in that it sometimes doesn’t make it clear where to go next. But for some reason it finishes your medicaid/subsidy eligibility, has you download that, THEN asks about smoking. You won’t get rates until you answer that question.

    University of Georgia President Jere Morehead defended on Wednesday university workers charged with helping those interested navigate the new federal health care law.

    Morehead called it a UGA tradition to give unbiased information to the public.

    “In this case, the university is in line with the sort of things the University of Georgia has done throughout its history as a land grant institution,” Morehead said in a regularly scheduled press conference.

    UGA has come under criticism from conservative activists and lawmakers for its Healthcare Navigators program, funded with a $1.66 million federal grant.

    A state Tea Party group collected more than 30,000 signatures last year for an online petition calling on state lawmakers to make it illegal for the university to provide information about the federal Affordable Care Act. One group even staged a rally outside the Coweta County Extension Service office in Newnan.

    @Another Holocene Human: The provider ads that I hear and see around SF Bay and NorCal are middle to high end providers: Sutter, Gould, Kaiser, Hill Physicians, Alta Bates. (and before I hear screams, some of those orgs are definitely not on my ‘Wonderful’; list, just saying that they are not IMHO totally dubious. I hope we can be ‘united’ in that stipulation for the moment).

    Edit: though come to think of it, I may have heard a couple of United ads, but they are not very prominent.

    @Another Holocene Human: Add, “lacking any meaningful oversight from an out-of-touch Governor (a doctor, no less!) who should be primaried by a competent liberal opponent because of the Cover Oregon disaster.”

    I had beers last night with a friend who started his Cover Oregon application back in October (on paper, because there was no electronic application capability until late November), was (wrongfully) denied a subsidy on his insurance, and has been waiting over a month (without health insurance, apparently) for a resolution of his appeal. Somehow, Oregon, despite a well-meaning administration, has managed to fuck up the implementation of the ACA (at least the private insurance side) worse than many red states.

    a little less-than-good news about CA:

    http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/02/19/covered-california-enrollees-complain-about-limited-doctor-choices-nearby/

    California’s health care exchange promised potential customers they would have enough physicians to choose from. But some new enrollees, including an Alameda County woman, are discovering that their doctor choices are extremely limited.
    …
    Julia Turner is surprised that she even has to search for a doctor. When she signed up for a policy through Covered California late last year, her long-time physician was listed as participating in her Blue Shield plan. It turned out; however, that he is not accepting patients with her Blue Shield policy, purchased on the Covered California exchange.

    When Turner called around to find someone else to treat her, she got more frustration. “The only doctors accepting new patients are urgent care clinics,” Turner told KPIX 5 ConsumerWatch.

    None of the doctors are located in the city in which she lives. Instead, Turner said, “They are in areas of East Oakland that have a lot of violence.”
    …
    When KPIX 5 contacted all of the 41 doctors on the list Blue Shield provided to Julia, it found only four of the doctors were actually accepting new adult patients, and only one of them was board certified.

    a fixable problem.

    but a problem nonetheless.

    I signed up on Covered California in the middle of the night on October 3rd. The site worked just fine, although they had a glitch in their tool to see which providers took which insurance. The glitch was cleared up in two weeks. I also called the customer service number several times with questions, and they were fantastic.

    Took me about half an hour to fill out the application that night, then I waited three weeks to choose a provider (Kaiser). But then it took Kaiser five weeks to get the paperwork to me so I could pay. That arrived right around Christmas, as I remember.

    I’ve had my first doctor’s appt, lab tests, and a mammogram. They’ve been absolutely great.

    And this is after more than 12 years without insurance. I’m pretty happy.

    But I wouldn’t worry about the payment rate. That’s on the insurance companies being overwhelmed with new applicants. It’s supposed to take two weeks, but again, in my case it took five, and that was with me being eager to pay!

    February 20, 2014 at 3:04 pm

    @cleek: That’s the reason I picked Kaiser. I found out that Blue Shield and some other companies were reducing their networks by 50%, and mostly were cutting out individual providers, but keeping the big providers like hospitals.

    Kaiser is using their full network.

    Yeah it’s a problem, but what else do you expect from Blue Shield?

    February 20, 2014 at 3:23 pm

    @Mnemosyne: Blue Shield has some similar episodes of messing with customers. The linked article in cleek’s comment says that CA BC and BS are the two insurers in Covered CA who have different networks, one for exchange enrollees and one for non-exchange. So maybe the problem will be mainly confined to those to blankety blanks.

    Edit: though in fairness, in some parts of SF, it is difficult to get a provider to take a new patients. I was surprised when I moved, and found it impossible to get a doc at the most convenient clinics (edit: in my employer’s network) in the city (Edit: sorry, I meant ‘The City’, for any SF purists out there).

    As much as I would like to think the ACA would wipe out Republicans, the level of irrational rage amongst conservatives makes that impossible.

    27% of the country is palpitating with rage at Obama and votes regularly. 50% of the eligible voters vote. That means Republicans only need to appeal to 14% of reachable voters in order to win.*

    Which is why they’re one of the more expensive options on the exchange even though they’re one of the cheap to mid-priced options for large group policies. I’m convinced that integrated provider systems like Kaiser- places where you’re actually contracting for health care rather than for health insurance that’s then provided by somebody else- are really the way to go.

    @Mnemosyne: In California, Blue Cross is now Anthem Blue Cross and is for-profit (it converted from non-profit and left the national BCBS association in late 90s IIRC). Blue Shield is still non-profit, but has been involved in sketchy and arguable bogus risk related rate adjustments and rescissions.

    I think they were associated with Blue Cross of CA through the national BCBS association, but don’t know the details.

    There used to be a whole economic subliterature on how for-profit and non-profit health care insurance plans differed, but little evidence of that distinction anymore. If it ever existed, it was blown away by consolidation of providers and gaming the opaque and corrupt pricing system and supply chain in U.S. health care.

    Not really. Single payer still has lots of independent health providers, but the government pays for everything, so “private single payer” is more like a Cadillac conventional insurance plan. Kaiser is more like a private version of NHS, where the government actually provides health care rather than just health insurance.
