The analysis, based on internal cost, utilization and enrollment data, was sent Tuesday to the state’s secretary of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really devastating,” said Mari Cantwell, state Medicaid director with the California Department of Health Care Services, who co-wrote the analysis. “It raises some serious questions about whether we can continue to operate the program the way we do today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the analysis didn’t explain how the state would deal with the federal cuts, Cantwell said it would have to look at changes to eligibility, benefits or provider rates — or all three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican bill, called the American Health Care Act, would dramatically change funding for the Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal in California. Since its inception, Medicaid funding has been open-ended, based on need. Under the new bill, federal money would be capped either through block grants or fixed per-capita amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medi-Cal provides coverage to 13.5 million low-income residents, about half of California’s children and a third of the adults. About 3.7 million people of those became newly eligible for the publicly funded health coverage through the Affordable Care Act, helping to reduce the state’s uninsurance rate from 17 percent in 2013 to about 7 percent in 2016, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/medi-cal-expansion-under-ahca/\" target=\"_blank\">UC Berkeley Labor Center for Education and Research\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public insurance program is funded jointly by California and the federal government and provides health, dental, mental health, long-term care and other services. The Affordable Care Act allowed states to expand their Medicaid programs in 2014 to low-income childless adults, and the federal government is paying nearly all the costs for those new beneficiaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill could put hospitals, clinics and other providers in a tenuous financial position by forcing them to live within the cost limits while at the same time seeing more uninsured patients, the analysis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California health officials said they estimated that Medi-Cal costs would exceed per-capita caps by nearly $680 million in 2020, with the gap growing to $5.28 billion by 2027. That spending limit could have a “devastating and chilling effect” on any increases in provider payments or plan rates, according to the analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state also expects an additional $3.3 billion in costs in 2020, growing to $13 billion by 2027, because of a change that reduces federal funds for new enrollees and for people who have a break in coverage. The bill would require certain beneficiaries to renew coverage every six months rather than once a year, which state officials say will cause many to lose their coverage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the analysis, the state would face additional costs from other federal cuts, including to a program that pays for in-home care for elderly and disabled residents. In addition, the proposed freeze on federal funding to organizations that provide abortions would make the state responsible for $400 million in payments to Planned Parenthood, which serves more than 600,000 people in Medi-Cal and a state family planning program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new study by UC Berkeley’s Labor Center released Wednesday also warned of dramatic cuts in federal Medi-Cal funding that would threaten coverage for low-income adults. The center estimated that the state would have to increase spending by $10 billion each year to maintain coverage for those who became eligible for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

He lost his sight at 53, and in the past two years has sailed the Pacific Coast, the Channel Islands and the San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At Lighthouse I learned of James Holman, who rejected society's view of the blind,\" O’Hanlon says in his application video. \"Like Holman, I’m not a victim. Like Holman, I travel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Bay Area semifinalists include kayaker Ahmet Ustunel, ukulele player Angela Denise Davis, musician Graham Norwood, writer Jennifer Justice, coffee brewer Serena Olsen, musical theater enthusiast Christina Daniels and aspiring documentary filmmaker Iman Awad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each applicant submitted a 90-second pitch on YouTube. For most of the applicants, it was the first video they’d ever posted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why LightHouse required video instead of audio applications, Bashin replies, “It’s the medium of today. Anyone with a smartphone and a friend can record a video pretty easily. Although some people were daunted by this, it’s that adaptability that we are celebrating here. The aim is to not have a separate, segregated world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LightHouse staff have noticed applicants continuing to publish videos after their initial post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YouTube has the added benefit of being more shareable, and Bashin hopes people will \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBgTkRMP5uaxWtNj7gzrMiqKY0we4icO_\" target=\"_blank\">watch the applications\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you see the applicants, you can’t unthink the effect it has,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effect, Bashin hopes, is to break down the preconceived notions of what blind people can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In all actuality, we are just like everyone else. We have dreams and hopes and things we strive for in life. The only difference is that we get to the end result a little differently than everyone else,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNuuuzLedH4&index=12&list=PLBgTkRMP5uaxWtNj7gzrMiqKY0we4icO_\" target=\"_blank\">Abigail\u003c/a>, a podcaster from Brooklyn, in her video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, it’s striking to see a visually impaired skateboarder.

Then there are those with plans to create programs that will provide education and jobs for the blind. The latter group includes a beekeeper in Uganda, a Bay Area coffee roaster, a rocket scientist in Colorado and a few people trying to make Braille more accessible across the globe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next step for semifinalists will be to put together a detailed budget of their plan and a timeline of how it will be executed.

Of those, 39 million are blind while 246 million have low vision. The majority live in low-income settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been so overwhelmed by the response of good proposals that we’re now looking for more partners who might want to support blind people’s dreams,” Bashin says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Citing a strategy memo from 2005, they say Manafort told Deripaska that he would advocate a pro-Russian agenda both in former republics and \"at the highest levels of the U.S. government - the White House, Capitol Hill and the State Department.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to their report, Day and Horwitz quote a statement from Manafort in which he confirmed that he worked for Deripaska — but he also said that characterizing the work as \"inappropriate or nefarious\" amounted to a \"smear campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My work for Mr. Deripaska did not involve representing Russia's political interests,\" Manafort told the AP, saying that he instead focused on representing Deripaska in countries where he had investments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discussing Deripaska's ties to Putin, Day cites WikiLeaks cables that showed U.S. officials referring to Deripaska as \"one of the top two or three oligarchs that are very close to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort has an apartment at Trump Tower in New York and is a veteran of politics and lobbying; his career stretches back to Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. His lobbying firm has been known for working on behalf of \"unsavory governments in Nigeria and Kenya, the UNITA rebels in Angola and a group with ties to Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/486085582/meet-paul-manafort-the-washington-insider-running-trumps-campaign\">as NPR reported last summer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially \u003ca href=\"https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-announces-campaign-convention-manager-paul-j.-manafort\">hired last March\u003c/a> as the Trump campaign's Republican Convention manager, Manafort rose to the role of campaign chairman. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement1\">resigned last August\u003c/a>, shortly after news reports that he had been paid $12.7 million by the political party of Ukraine's former pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, between 2007 and 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Scott Horsley reported when Manafort resigned from the Trump campaign late last summer:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Manafort's consulting work in Ukraine was already under a microscope, given Trump's favorable comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin, an ally of Yanukovych. Trump raised eyebrows last month when he said he would consider recognizing Russia's annexation of Crimea. Russia invaded the Ukrainian territory in 2014 after Yanukovych was ousted in a pro-Western revolt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Trump campaign also worked to weaken language in the GOP platform on aid to Ukraine's post-Yanukovych government. At the campaign's urging, platform language calling for the U.S. to provide 'lethal defensive weapons' to Ukraine was watered down to 'appropriate assistance.' \"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the records that snarled Manafort in recent months emerged from Ukraine's new anti-corruption bureau. In this case, Day says his reporting \"is not just based on anonymous sources ... the bedrock of this story is based on documents that we've authenticated, and documents that have been corroborated through sources.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Visitors have been blocked from reaching part of the community known for its luxury spas, posh hotels and scenic retreats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Mayer, the bridge closure means a six-hour, round-trip route several times a week to buy goods to stock the shelves. He also had to temporarily lay off 11 of his 16 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet he's keeping his doors open for locals who need produce, milk and propane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They support me all year long, and I appreciate it,\" Mayer said. \"In the bad times, you've got to try to come through for the people who come through for you all the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damaged Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge sits on an active landslide, which pushed out one of two columns holding it up.

A large section of the bridge was demolished on March 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nbcbayarea/status/843545203629875200\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susana Cruz, a spokeswoman for Caltrans, said construction is expected to cost about $20 million and take six to nine months — too long for some.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We as a community simply will not survive in any way that is recognizable without a timely rebuild of that bridge,\" said Big Sur Chamber of Commerce President Kirk Gafill, owner of the historic Nepenthe Restaurant, which has been serving Big Sur since 1949.

"content": "\u003cp>The Affordable Care Act's tax penalty for people who opt out of health insurance is one of the most loathed parts of the law, so it is no surprise that Republicans are keen to abolish it. But the penalty, also called \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/fees/fee-for-not-being-covered/\">the individual mandate\u003c/a>, plays a vital function: nudging healthy people into the insurance markets, where their premiums help pay for the cost of care for the sick. Republican lawmakers think they have a better alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP approach is called a \"continuous coverage\" penalty. It increases the cost of the premiums for anyone buying an individual insurance policy if they have gone 63 or more consecutive days without health insurance in the previous 12 months. Their monthly premiums would rise by 30 percent, and that surcharge would last for a year. While Obamacare assesses a fine for each year people don't buy insurance, the GOP plan would punish those who decide to purchase health insurance for the first time ever, or after a lapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much is at stake. If the GOP approach fails to prod enough healthy people into buying insurance, rates for everyone else in the insurance pool will rise — destabilizing promises by President Donald Trump and GOP leaders to make their Obamacare replacement more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact.pdf\">projects\u003c/a> that millions fewer people will buy insurance if the individual mandate is repealed and replaced with a continuous coverage surcharge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why do people allow their insurance to lapse?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some consumers, like Sheila Swartz, who lives outside Nashville, Tenn., and works as a house cleaner, simply can't afford the premiums. She and her husband, Don, who has a heart condition, dropped their policy in December after learning monthly premiums were going to increase by about $140 to $530.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't get blood out of a turnip,\" Swartz said. \"If you can't afford that premium, you can't afford that premium.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others stop paying premiums when they lose a job or are hit with unexpected costs in other areas, such as major repairs to a car or home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you find yourself having to choose between paying rent versus health insurance, \"you are probably not going to choose health insurance,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/benefitscafe\">Bruce Jugan\u003c/a>, a health insurance broker in Montebello, Calif.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people try to game the system, taking the calculated risk of going without insurance until they get sick or know they need expensive medical care — such as to cover the costs pregnancy and childbirth, or an elective surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the Affordable Care Act and the GOP proposal include a deterrent by restricting people from enrolling anytime they want. Instead, applicants must wait for annual enrollment periods, usually in the final weeks of the year, meaning that some people might have to wait months before getting coverage. (Applicants still can get insurance during \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/blog/special-enrollment-period/\">special enrollment periods\u003c/a> if they lose a job, get divorced or have another specified major life change.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How tough is the GOP penalty compared with the individual mandate?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the ACA, the average individual mandate penalty in 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/Media/Default/Documents/2017-JRC/2016_filing_season_review.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">was $442\u003c/a>, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The GOP penalty would vary, based on cost of premiums, but generally would be more expensive than paying the mandate's penalty. A 40-year-old with annual premiums of $4,328 would pay an extra $1,298 because of the GOP surcharge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's got teeth,\" said \u003ca href=\"http://www.rand.org/about/people/d/damberg_cheryl_l.html\">Cheryl Damberg\u003c/a>, a RAND Corp. economist. \"In some ways, it's a more punishing penalty, and it's going to hit people who are least capable of financially affording it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.law.uh.edu/faculty/main.asp?PID=6\">Seth Chandler\u003c/a>, a law professor at the University of Houston Law Center, who has been critical of the Affordable Care Act's insurance markets, said he is skeptical the GOP surcharge is high enough to make people enroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am concerned that the Republicans are succumbing to the same softness of heart as the Democrats succumbed too when they set the individual mandate [penalty],\" he said. \"If you start to see insurance companies object or drop out of the markets, that's a sign this thing is miscalculated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two conservative economists at the American Enterprise Institute, \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/joseph-antos/\">Joseph Antos\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/james-c-capretta/\"> James Capretta\u003c/a>, see the penalty as \"far too small\" to be effective. \"Healthy consumers are likely to take their chances,\" \u003ca href=\"http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2017/03/10/republicans-should-take-the-time-necessary-to-improve-the-american-health-care-act/\">they wrote\u003c/a> in this month's issue of Health Affairs Blog. \"With the repeal of the individual mandate, and the retention of the ACA's insurance rules, the overall effect would be significant market turbulence, starting immediately in 2017.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact.pdf\">CBO has predicted\u003c/a> there would be a brief increase in the number of people holding insurance in 2018, under the GOP plan, as roughly 1 million people buy coverage to avoid the surcharge. In most years afterward, however, about 2 million fewer people would be expected to buy policies, either because of the surcharge or because of the requirement that they provide documentation proving they've been insured. The CBO predicted that healthy people in particular would be more likely to avoid buying policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan has some parallels to Medicare's late-enrollment penalty, which is applied to premiums for people who don't sign up when they turn 65. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.milbank.org/?staff-member=christopher-f-koller\">Christopher Koller\u003c/a>, a former Rhode Island health insurance commissioner, doubts the GOP penalty would be as effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Medicare is an entitlement with the force of government behind it,\" said Koller, now president of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.milbank.org/about/\">Milbank Memorial Fund\u003c/a>, a foundation in New York that does health policy analysis. \"You get lots of notices about what your obligations are as you approach that age.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about people who can't afford premiums?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP surcharge would contain no hardship exemptions, \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/health-coverage-exemptions/hardship-exemptions/\">unlike the individual mandate\u003c/a>, which allows people to escape paying a penalty if premiums would eat up too much of their income (8.16 percent in 2017).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, 5.6 million people paid the individual mandate penalty, but another 11 million claimed a hardship exemption, according to the IRS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lower-income people are going to have even more trouble buying — and keeping — coverage under the GOP plan, health care analysts said. The ACA's subsidies to help pay monthly premiums are based on income, and millions of people on the poorer end of the spectrum do not have to pay anything toward their premiums if they choose the cheapest plan. The GOP plan, on the other hand, would offer a flat tax credit that adjusts only for age. The penalties would make some people even more reluctant to buy insurance — especially if they are relatively healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we would just end up with a lot more uninsured people, and they would clearly be the type of people who are less able to navigate [the insurance system] and less able to afford insurance,\" said \u003ca href=\"http://healthpolicy.usc.edu/ListItem.aspx?ID=6\">Geoffrey Joyce\u003c/a>, director of health policy for the University of Southern California Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican lawmakers have said their plan rightly places the responsibility on individuals. That's a view shared by some health insurance brokers, including \u003ca href=\"http://ruffinsolutions.com/about/helena-ruffin-company-president/\">Helena Ruffin\u003c/a>, president of the Ruffin Group Insurance Services in Playa Vista, Calif. A continuous coverage requirement would \"limit those people who are not playing by the rules,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am favor of the penalties,\" said Ruffin. \"Whether or not people are going to pay attention is another story.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/\">\u003cem>Kaiser Health News\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, a nonprofit health newsroom whose stories appear in news outlets nationwide, is an editorially independent part of the Kaiser Family Foundation. \u003c/em>\u003c/em>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/news/author/jordan-rau/\">Jordan Rau\u003c/a> \u003c/em>\u003cem>and\u003c/em>\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/news/author/anna-gorman/\">Anna Gorman\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003cem> are senior correspondent for KHN.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 Kaiser Health News.

But the penalty, also called \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/fees/fee-for-not-being-covered/\">the individual mandate\u003c/a>, plays a vital function: nudging healthy people into the insurance markets, where their premiums help pay for the cost of care for the sick. Republican lawmakers think they have a better alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP approach is called a \"continuous coverage\" penalty. It increases the cost of the premiums for anyone buying an individual insurance policy if they have gone 63 or more consecutive days without health insurance in the previous 12 months. Their monthly premiums would rise by 30 percent, and that surcharge would last for a year. While Obamacare assesses a fine for each year people don't buy insurance, the GOP plan would punish those who decide to purchase health insurance for the first time ever, or after a lapse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much is at stake. If the GOP approach fails to prod enough healthy people into buying insurance, rates for everyone else in the insurance pool will rise — destabilizing promises by President Donald Trump and GOP leaders to make their Obamacare replacement more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact.pdf\">projects\u003c/a> that millions fewer people will buy insurance if the individual mandate is repealed and replaced with a continuous coverage surcharge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why do people allow their insurance to lapse?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She and her husband, Don, who has a heart condition, dropped their policy in December after learning monthly premiums were going to increase by about $140 to $530.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't get blood out of a turnip,\" Swartz said. \"If you can't afford that premium, you can't afford that premium.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others stop paying premiums when they lose a job or are hit with unexpected costs in other areas, such as major repairs to a car or home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you find yourself having to choose between paying rent versus health insurance, \"you are probably not going to choose health insurance,\" said \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/benefitscafe\">Bruce Jugan\u003c/a>, a health insurance broker in Montebello, Calif.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people try to game the system, taking the calculated risk of going without insurance until they get sick or know they need expensive medical care — such as to cover the costs pregnancy and childbirth, or an elective surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the Affordable Care Act and the GOP proposal include a deterrent by restricting people from enrolling anytime they want. Instead, applicants must wait for annual enrollment periods, usually in the final weeks of the year, meaning that some people might have to wait months before getting coverage. (Applicants still can get insurance during \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/blog/special-enrollment-period/\">special enrollment periods\u003c/a> if they lose a job, get divorced or have another specified major life change.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How tough is the GOP penalty compared with the individual mandate?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the ACA, the average individual mandate penalty in 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/Media/Default/Documents/2017-JRC/2016_filing_season_review.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">was $442\u003c/a>, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The GOP penalty would vary, based on cost of premiums, but generally would be more expensive than paying the mandate's penalty. A 40-year-old with annual premiums of $4,328 would pay an extra $1,298 because of the GOP surcharge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's got teeth,\" said \u003ca href=\"http://www.rand.org/about/people/d/damberg_cheryl_l.html\">Cheryl Damberg\u003c/a>, a RAND Corp. economist. \"In some ways, it's a more punishing penalty, and it's going to hit people who are least capable of financially affording it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.law.uh.edu/faculty/main.asp?PID=6\">Seth Chandler\u003c/a>, a law professor at the University of Houston Law Center, who has been critical of the Affordable Care Act's insurance markets, said he is skeptical the GOP surcharge is high enough to make people enroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am concerned that the Republicans are succumbing to the same softness of heart as the Democrats succumbed too when they set the individual mandate [penalty],\" he said. \"If you start to see insurance companies object or drop out of the markets, that's a sign this thing is miscalculated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two conservative economists at the American Enterprise Institute, \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/joseph-antos/\">Joseph Antos\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/james-c-capretta/\"> James Capretta\u003c/a>, see the penalty as \"far too small\" to be effective. \"Healthy consumers are likely to take their chances,\" \u003ca href=\"http://healthaffairs.org/blog/2017/03/10/republicans-should-take-the-time-necessary-to-improve-the-american-health-care-act/\">they wrote\u003c/a> in this month's issue of Health Affairs Blog. \"With the repeal of the individual mandate, and the retention of the ACA's insurance rules, the overall effect would be significant market turbulence, starting immediately in 2017.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact.pdf\">CBO has predicted\u003c/a> there would be a brief increase in the number of people holding insurance in 2018, under the GOP plan, as roughly 1 million people buy coverage to avoid the surcharge. In most years afterward, however, about 2 million fewer people would be expected to buy policies, either because of the surcharge or because of the requirement that they provide documentation proving they've been insured. The CBO predicted that healthy people in particular would be more likely to avoid buying policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan has some parallels to Medicare's late-enrollment penalty, which is applied to premiums for people who don't sign up when they turn 65. But \u003ca href=\"https://www.milbank.org/?staff-member=christopher-f-koller\">Christopher Koller\u003c/a>, a former Rhode Island health insurance commissioner, doubts the GOP penalty would be as effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Medicare is an entitlement with the force of government behind it,\" said Koller, now president of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.milbank.org/about/\">Milbank Memorial Fund\u003c/a>, a foundation in New York that does health policy analysis. \"You get lots of notices about what your obligations are as you approach that age.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about people who can't afford premiums?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The GOP surcharge would contain no hardship exemptions, \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/health-coverage-exemptions/hardship-exemptions/\">unlike the individual mandate\u003c/a>, which allows people to escape paying a penalty if premiums would eat up too much of their income (8.16 percent in 2017).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, 5.6 million people paid the individual mandate penalty, but another 11 million claimed a hardship exemption, according to the IRS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lower-income people are going to have even more trouble buying — and keeping — coverage under the GOP plan, health care analysts said. The ACA's subsidies to help pay monthly premiums are based on income, and millions of people on the poorer end of the spectrum do not have to pay anything toward their premiums if they choose the cheapest plan. The GOP plan, on the other hand, would offer a flat tax credit that adjusts only for age. The penalties would make some people even more reluctant to buy insurance — especially if they are relatively healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we would just end up with a lot more uninsured people, and they would clearly be the type of people who are less able to navigate [the insurance system] and less able to afford insurance,\" said \u003ca href=\"http://healthpolicy.usc.edu/ListItem.aspx?ID=6\">Geoffrey Joyce\u003c/a>, director of health policy for the University of Southern California Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican lawmakers have said their plan rightly places the responsibility on individuals. That's a view shared by some health insurance brokers, including \u003ca href=\"http://ruffinsolutions.com/about/helena-ruffin-company-president/\">Helena Ruffin\u003c/a>, president of the Ruffin Group Insurance Services in Playa Vista, Calif. A continuous coverage requirement would \"limit those people who are not playing by the rules,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am favor of the penalties,\" said Ruffin. \"Whether or not people are going to pay attention is another story.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So tell us your story, why are you here?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abe has three kids now, ages 9, 6 and 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Another one, surprise! Due in July,” Abe says. “I was shopping after the third for a vasectomy, and like a dope, drug my feet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s Mike, also expecting his fourth child -- \u003cem>also\u003c/em> a surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wife and I have had enough,” he pleads. “We need help to stop the flow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s Charles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Four kids, three different women,” Charles says, inspiring a roar of jeers from the hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Procrastination can be so common with the “Big V” that it takes a panel of sports jocks offering a free procedure for some guys to finally let a doctor take a scalpel to their nether regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be one reason vasectomy rates are low: \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/v.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Five percent\u003c/a> of women rely on their partner’s vasectomy for contraception, unchanged from a decade ago. The CDC's National Survey of Family Growth compares that to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/s.htm#sterilizationfemale\">20 percent \u003c/a>of women who have had a sterilization procedure, even though women’s surgery is more invasive and more expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Men are culturally the providers. It’s hard for them to seek care,” said Dr. Paul Turek, a urologist. “They don’t know how to be a patient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turek has \u003ca href=\"http://www.theturekclinic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">clinics\u003c/a> in San Francisco and Beverly Hills. He sees an uptick in vasectomy visits during March Madness, and he’s also noticed more guys coming in together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One group came in from a tech company in a limousine,” he remembered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, five college buddies scheduled a group vasectomy in March. They live all over the U.S. now, and one of them had an idea to reunite in San Francisco and undergo the outpatient procedure together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I gave 'em a deal. I closed the doors,” Turek said. “We had sports TV on. They were having fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As each guy returned to the waiting room, he was greeted with fist bumps and high-fives. Then they hobbled back to their hotel to bet on the games and yell at the television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turek made an interesting observation during that bro basketball weekend: The guys seemed to recover faster than his typical patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had no complaints. They were back at work sooner. They took fewer pain pills,” he said. “It was the best anesthesia, having their buddies with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turek gives all his vasectomy patients a certificate of honor for “uncommon bravery and meritorious performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is another theory about why vasectomies aren’t more popular: the cost. The Affordable Care Act requires insurers to \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/birth-control-benefits/\" target=\"_blank\">cover contraceptives \u003c/a>without charging out-of-pocket costs. But vasectomy wasn’t included in the rule. The procedure costs about $500, but some doctors charge up to $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Charles subjected himself to the free vasectomy contest at the D.C. radio station. His insurance covers a portion of the procedure, “but I'd still have to pay my deductible, which is, like, a thousand bucks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vasectomy was overlooked in Obamacare because, under the law, birth control was considered a women’s health service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now the policy says to a couple: Your insurance will cover birth control without any out-of-pocket costs on your end, as long as it’s the woman who’s using it,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/about/staff/adam-sonfield\" target=\"_blank\">Adam Sonfield\u003c/a>, senior policy manager at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Guttmacher Institute.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, 12,000 people signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/health-and-human-services-cover-vasectomies-under-the-affordable-care-act\" target=\"_blank\">petition\u003c/a> asking regulators to cover vasectomy without cost sharing. Doctors’ groups even drafted language to this effect to add to the regulations, but when the Trump administration took over, it told the groups to stop trying, according to Aaron Hamlin, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.malecontraceptive.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Male Contraception Initiative.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The birth control benefit has been under pretty much continual political attack since the ACA was enacted,” said Sonfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vasectomy battle is now moot, he added, because President Trump’s health officials want to get rid of the contraceptive mandate altogether, even for women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are very much in danger at the moment,” Sonfield said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now that leaves guys like Charles, Mike and Abe vying for a free March Madness vasectomy. The winner in the end?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His prize comes with a catch, though. He has to let one of the sportscasters come to his appointment, to broadcast a \"play-by-play.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

So tell us your story, why are you here?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abe has three kids now, ages 9, 6 and 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Another one, surprise! Due in July,” Abe says. “I was shopping after the third for a vasectomy, and like a dope, drug my feet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s Mike, also expecting his fourth child -- \u003cem>also\u003c/em> a surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wife and I have had enough,” he pleads. “We need help to stop the flow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s Charles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Four kids, three different women,” Charles says, inspiring a roar of jeers from the hosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Procrastination can be so common with the “Big V” that it takes a panel of sports jocks offering a free procedure for some guys to finally let a doctor take a scalpel to their nether regions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may be one reason vasectomy rates are low: \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/v.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Five percent\u003c/a> of women rely on their partner’s vasectomy for contraception, unchanged from a decade ago. The CDC's National Survey of Family Growth compares that to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nsfg/key_statistics/s.htm#sterilizationfemale\">20 percent \u003c/a>of women who have had a sterilization procedure, even though women’s surgery is more invasive and more expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Men are culturally the providers. It’s hard for them to seek care,” said Dr. Paul Turek, a urologist. “They don’t know how to be a patient.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turek has \u003ca href=\"http://www.theturekclinic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">clinics\u003c/a> in San Francisco and Beverly Hills. He sees an uptick in vasectomy visits during March Madness, and he’s also noticed more guys coming in together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One group came in from a tech company in a limousine,” he remembered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, five college buddies scheduled a group vasectomy in March. They live all over the U.S. now, and one of them had an idea to reunite in San Francisco and undergo the outpatient procedure together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I gave 'em a deal. I closed the doors,” Turek said. “We had sports TV on. They were having fun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As each guy returned to the waiting room, he was greeted with fist bumps and high-fives. Then they hobbled back to their hotel to bet on the games and yell at the television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turek made an interesting observation during that bro basketball weekend: The guys seemed to recover faster than his typical patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had no complaints. They were back at work sooner. They took fewer pain pills,” he said. “It was the best anesthesia, having their buddies with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turek gives all his vasectomy patients a certificate of honor for “uncommon bravery and meritorious performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is another theory about why vasectomies aren’t more popular: the cost. The Affordable Care Act requires insurers to \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/birth-control-benefits/\" target=\"_blank\">cover contraceptives \u003c/a>without charging out-of-pocket costs. But vasectomy wasn’t included in the rule. The procedure costs about $500, but some doctors charge up to $1,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Charles subjected himself to the free vasectomy contest at the D.C. radio station. His insurance covers a portion of the procedure, “but I'd still have to pay my deductible, which is, like, a thousand bucks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vasectomy was overlooked in Obamacare because, under the law, birth control was considered a women’s health service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now the policy says to a couple: Your insurance will cover birth control without any out-of-pocket costs on your end, as long as it’s the woman who’s using it,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/about/staff/adam-sonfield\" target=\"_blank\">Adam Sonfield\u003c/a>, senior policy manager at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.guttmacher.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Guttmacher Institute.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, 12,000 people signed a \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/p/health-and-human-services-cover-vasectomies-under-the-affordable-care-act\" target=\"_blank\">petition\u003c/a> asking regulators to cover vasectomy without cost sharing. Doctors’ groups even drafted language to this effect to add to the regulations, but when the Trump administration took over, it told the groups to stop trying, according to Aaron Hamlin, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.malecontraceptive.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Male Contraception Initiative.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The birth control benefit has been under pretty much continual political attack since the ACA was enacted,” said Sonfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vasectomy battle is now moot, he added, because President Trump’s health officials want to get rid of the contraceptive mandate altogether, even for women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are very much in danger at the moment,” Sonfield said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for now that leaves guys like Charles, Mike and Abe vying for a free March Madness vasectomy. The winner in the end?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His prize comes with a catch, though. He has to let one of the sportscasters come to his appointment, to broadcast a \"play-by-play.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
