NASHVILLE - The state released detailed plans Tuesday for how it would deal with potential cuts in federal funding of up to 30 percent that, if fully implemented, would slash 5,132 employees and $4.5 billion out of the state's $31 billion budget. TennCare, the federal and state health insurance program for low- income and disabled people, would bear the brunt at just over $2.25 billion. If fully implemented, the program would reduce reimbursement rates to health providers, eliminate optional benefits and reduce other services - including medicine and dental - to recipients.

In this Article I examine “medical tourism”—the travel of patients who are residents of one country to another country for medical treatment—which is fast becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. To date, the primary U.S. medical tourists appear to have been uninsured or underinsured Americans seeking substantial cost savings by traveling to less developed countries for care. More recently, state governments, self-insured firms, Fortune 500 companies, and domestic insurers have begun attempts to get their insured populations to use medical tourism as well by requiring it or giving incentives for its use (what I call “insurer-prompted medical tourism”). There is, however, a dark side to the growth of this industry. In this Article I set out...

After several years of decline, the number of Texans without health insurance is climbing rapidly. The erosion in state tax revenues is cited as the reason for the cutting of funds in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). And, all health care providers are hit hard by these trends, plus trying to keep up with a shortage of nurses, higher labor costs, and expensive new technologies. So, I was delighted to learn that one of our major San Antonio providers, Methodist Healthcare, has announced that they will be committing a record $27 million, this year, into health care funding for the uninsured and underserved in our community. They are to be thanked and applauded for their efforts to serve our neighbors throughout South Texas. CentroMed 924-9254 CentroMed is an urg...

Colorado's rural areas are facing a serious shortage of health care providers -- but Kaiser Permanente is giving $2.4 million to the University of Colorado at Denver's Health Science Center to help train more medical professionals who will work in isolated areas the state. The money will establish an Interdisciplinary Rural Training and Service Program, designed to be part of the schools of medicine, dental medicine and pharmacy. Students will practice together and train together -- coordinating patient care in a way that they might do in rural areas.
