  1. #Cancer #Bill raises hopes⚕️
    "a strong cancer #policy is ultimately #preventive -- it tackles #carcinogenic factors such as unhealthy #food, toxic #environments, & unhealthy #lifestyles.. While #Thailand has made significant progress in #treatment, it has done little on #prevention.. as residents in northern provinces are suffocated by #PM25 #pollution, a majority of #lawmakers (led by Bhumjaithai) voted against the long-needed #cleanair #law, citing its #economic impact"🤔

    The $650mio in projected savings could arguably be underestimated, as #preventive #healthcare is deemed to be not growth-centric by #bigpharma & #consumerist #privatehealthcare providers. But lifestyle changes & interventions driven by preventive healthcare principles is part of global #SDG & should be an integral part of long-term #sustainability strategies to foster national well-being & #happiness.

  11. Judge's Decision Would Make Some No-Cost Cancer Screenings a Thing of the Past - Scientific American

    A federal judge on Thursday #overturned a portion of the Affordable Care Act that makes #preventive #services, such as some #cancer #screenings, #free to enrollees, a decision that could affect health insurance policyholders nationwide.

    The decision from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas could open the door for insurers or employers to #reinstate #copayments for some of those preventive services, although many may be reluctant or unable to do so, at least immediately.

    The ruling by U.S. District #Judge #Reed #OConnor builds on a September judgment in which he also said the ACA requirement that employers cover preexposure prophylaxis treatment to prevent HIV violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

    His ruling is the latest shot in the legal battle over the ACA. “Previous cases threatened the very existence of the law and fundamental protections. This decision does not do that,” said Larry Levitt, KFF executive vice president for health policy. But “it strikes down a portion of the law, albeit a very popular one, that is used by a lot of people.”

    It is almost certain to be #appealed, possibly by both sides: the conservative groups that brought the case and had hoped the decision would be broader, and the Biden administration, which supports the #ACA.

  12. @BruceMirken This is another example of the problem with #capitalized #healthCare. #Preventive services means better #health and lower health care cost and since #profits are higher on the more expensive treatments of sick people; well you get the picture. Its all about the profits. follow the money,
