Workplaces scared about health insurance overhaul
After months of hearing forecasts of big hikes in group health insurance rates, Keri Jenkins got a pleasant surprise. Easy To Insure ME has the answers.
Coverage costs for her company, the Norfolk-based ship agent and broker T. Parker Host, would increase by just 7.9 percent, despite new requirements under the national health care overhaul.
It was the company’s smallest rate bump since 2005.
“We were very pleased,” said Jenkins, who is T. Parker Host’s senior vice president for administration.
Many employers, like Jenkins, anticipated big changes as they developed insurance plans for the first time since the passage of the new health law.
For 2011, the law requires coverage for more people and, in many cases, mandates preventive services without extra charge to individuals – benefits that come with a price tag.
However, South Hampton Roads insurers, consultants and employers said the overhaul won’t increase rates more than 4 percent next year, largely because many plans already came close to meeting the requirements.
Overall, including other climbing expenses, local group health insurance costs are rising between 6 and 12 percent – a range comparable to recent years, they said.
For employees, that means more of the same.
“What we’ve seen is a trend where employers continue to offer less benefits and pass on more of the cost to the employees,” said John DeGruttola, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Optima Health, the insurance arm of Sentara Healthcare. “It’s really just in response to the double-digit medical inflation that occurs and continues to occur.”
Several provisions of the health care law take effect for plans renewed after Sept. 23, six months after the legislation was passed.
For many people insured through their employers, these changes will begin in next year’s coverage, which workers are now selecting during an open enrollment period.

Under the law, all plans must cover dependents up to age 26. Children up to 19 can’t be denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition.
Insurers also can’t establish limits on how much they will pay for covered benefits during the entire time an individual is enrolled in a plan. Plans can no longer terminate coverage retroactively due to honest mistakes on applications.
Other rules are contingent on how much employers change their health plans. Among them is a requirement for plans to cover certain preventive services, such as flu shots and some cancer screenings, without charging copays or co-insurance.
Companies can avoid that and some other mandates by basically freezing their plans as of March. To receive “grandfathered” status, a plan cannot significantly raise employees’ responsibility for health costs or substantially reduce benefits. Insurers found that few companies chose this option, though.
Dennis Wance was considering it for his Norfolk-based law firm, Vandeventer Black.
Because of some serious illnesses, health insurance costs would spike next year if his firm chose to grandfather its current plan, he said. However, a new plan probably would mean employees pay a larger portion of their medical bills and receive slightly reduced benefits, he said.
The choice promised to be difficult for a company that prides itself on generous health coverage for its 170 employees.
“These benefits are important,” said Wance, the firm’s executive director. “That’s why we’re reluctant to do some of the more draconian things with medical premiums to get the cost down.”
In some cases, the new law caused barely a ripple in a company’s coverage, especially if its plan already came close to meeting the provisions or if few people qualified for the new coverage.
At T. Parker Host, for example, none of the 56 employees added a new adult dependent, Jenkins said.
Other employers still wrestled with steep increases.
At Hampton-based Old Point National Bank, monthly health premiums rose more than in recent years – between 10 and 20 percent, said Joseph Witt, executive vice president and human resources director.
For his company and its 340 employees, high-deductible plans with health savings accounts have proved a good way to manage costs, he said. Those plans have lower premiums and higher deductibles than traditional plans, and allow employees to save money for medical costs in a tax-advantaged account.
“We’re hoping to one day have all of our employees say, ‘Wow, these high-deductible plans are so great, there’s no reason to be in a traditional plan anymore,’ ” Witt said. “Because the traditional plans are real dogs.”
Insurers said high-deductible plans gained popularity for 2011 because the plans allow employers to pay lower premiums and possibly invest in other benefits, such as matching funds for employee health savings accounts.
Employers also showed more interest in steering employees to wellness programs as a long-term strategy to reduce costs. Programs with incentives, such as gift cards and deposits into the health accounts, tend to work best, said Jeff Ricketts, regional vice president of sales for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Virginia. “Cash is king, we’ve found,” he said.
Looking ahead, employers are nervous about future demands of the health care overhaul – even as they wait to see whether it will withstand political assaults.
“I can’t say that the health care reform act has presented, in and of itself for 2011, that significant a challenge for us,” Wance said. “I think those challenges are yet to come.”

Lawsuits over health insurance care law
Matt Sissel of Iowa City proudly served in Iraq as a combat medic. But he objects to being “conscripted” into an overhauled federal health care system.
The uninsured artist is riled about a provision in the new health law that would require him to purchase insurance or pay a penalty starting in 2014. Last July, he filed a lawsuit to have the landmark act declared unconstitutional. “I don’t want the federal government dictating my personal financial decisions,” says Sissel, 29. “It can’t even run its own budget.”
In attacking the law in the courts, Sissel has plenty of company. A number of interest groups, state officials and ordinary citizens are seeking to have the health care law struck down in federal court, and action is heating up:
•This week or next, a federal judge in Pensacola, Fla., is expected to issue a preliminary ruling on perhaps the most prominent lawsuit. Brought by the governors or attorneys general of 20 states, the lawsuit seeks to have the act declared unconstitutional.
•Any day, a judge in Michigan could act on a request by the Thomas More Law Center to issue an injunction blocking the government from taking any further action implementing the law. The non-profit law firm, based in Ann Arbor, often brings anti-abortion cases.
REFORM: A consumer primer for health insurance changes in 2011
HEALTH CARE: New website compares coverage prices
•On Oct. 18, the Republican attorney general of Virginia — who has compared the Obama administration’s regard for individual rights to the tyranny of King George — heads back to court for another round of hearings with a federal judge who recently turned down a Justice Department request to throw the case out.
The burst of litigation has the framers of the law and the Obama administration playing defense. Many scholars, such as Charles Fried of Harvard Law School, argue that the law is on firm legal footing. But there is no quick resolution in sight, and it may take a year or two, and a trip to the U.S. Supreme Court, for all the lawsuits to get sorted out. Still, that might be a quicker route to upending the law, or parts of it, than a threatened GOP repeal effort in Congress. Even if Republicans pick up more seats in November, they’ll have a tough time getting major changes past President Obama.
Under the health care law enacted in March, more than 32 million additional Americans are expected to get insurance, either through an extension of Medicaid, the state-federal program for the poor, or through exchanges where low- and moderate-income individuals and families can buy private insurance with federal subsidies.
The law’s ambitious sweep has made it a target for those who see it as an unjustified expansion of government. Plaintiffs challenging the law include a variety of religious groups, the nation’s largest small-business trade association, and a who’s who of conservative legal activism.
Sissel, for example, is represented by the Pacific Legal Foundation, a Sacramento-based legal watchdog group that supports limited government, property rights and free enterprise.
Liberty University, the fundamentalist Lynchburg, Va., college founded by the late Jerry Falwell, has filed a lawsuit claiming that exemptions from the law for religious groups are too narrow and violate freedom of religion under the First Amendment. The Tucson-based Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, which opposes government intervention in health care, also has sued.
Several cases, similar views
In many cases, the lawsuits make similar arguments. Several contend, for example, that a provision of the law requiring most people without health insurance to get coverage or pay a penalty exceeds the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce under the Constitution.
]]>
The states, in the Florida lawsuit, also are challenging a provision of the law that greatly expands Medicaid. They claim the changes will cost them billions of dollars and wreck their budgets for years.
Justice Department lawyers say the lawsuits are without merit and premature. The penalties for people without insurance won’t take effect until 2014, and the states won’t have to start picking up costs of the expanded Medicaid until 2017.
But critics say the changes are so profound, the courts should act now. The law will “transform our nation beyond recognition” and “arm Congress with unbridled top-down control over virtually every aspect of persons’ lives,” the states have argued in court documents in the Florida case.
Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum said in an interview that if the individual insurance requirement is upheld, there is no end to what the federal government might require people to do. “The government could … force us to buy a General Motors car or put our money in a government-owned bank,” he says.
Justice Department lawyers respond that the law was well within the power of Congress to enact. In court papers in the Florida case, they have described the law as “an important but incremental” extension of federal regulation of the health care market.
Supporters of the law say healthy people must be required to buy coverage to offset higher costs that insurance companies face under the new law — otherwise, insurance will be too expensive for everyone.
In addition, they argue that dismantling the statute would hurt the poor, and would be a first step in rolling back laws dating to the New Deal that have given the government broad authority to regulate the behavior of individuals and states.
“These lawsuits have been mounted by people whose objective is to change constitutional law,” says Simon Lazarus, public policy counsel for the National Senior Citizens Law Center, a non-profit legal and educational firm that advocates for low-income older adults. To hold that the health reform law is unconstitutional would require “massively consequential changes in the Constitution as it has been plainly understood.”
In-state disputes
In some states, Republican and Democratic officials are slugging it out over their differing stands on the lawsuits.
In Washington state, for example, the state Supreme Court next month will hear a case that seeks to force the state’s Republican attorney general, Rob McKenna, to withdraw from the multistate lawsuit in Florida.
The hearing was set after the Democratic city attorney for Seattle, Pete Holmes, complained that state law prohibits McKenna from representing Washington in court without the support of the governor. Washington’s Democratic governor, Chris Gregoire, opposes the lawsuit. McKenna, considered a frontrunner for the governor’s race in 2012, says the law is on his side.
In Iowa, Republican Brenna Findley is looking to unseat Democrat Tom Miller as attorney general, in part by vowing to join the Florida lawsuit if elected. This week, Findley is hosting Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli at several campaign events. “Ken has led the way in fighting the federal takeover of America’s health care system,” Findley says in a message to supporters on her campaign’s Facebook page. “Don’t miss this opportunity to speak to Brenna and Ken about this important issue!!”
Miller, a seven-term incumbent, says the case is weak and that joining the lawsuit would be a waste of resources. “Above all else, an attorney general has to follow the law and do things that are consistent with the law,” he says. “You don’t go ahead and file a lawsuit because you disagree with the policy.”
Even conservatives acknowledge that Congress has broad powers under the Constitution. But they say the authority kicks in only when there is already some ongoing activity to regulate.
“The Supreme Court has never said Congress has the power to make you engage in economic activity,” such as buying insurance, says Randy Barnett, a professor of constitutional law at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington.
States can require citizens to buy auto insurance or fire insurance for their homes — but that’s because they have broad police powers under the Constitution that Congress does not have, he says.
Sissel figures the auto insurance he is required to maintain under Iowa law will cover his medical bills if he gets in an accident. He’s prepared to cover other bills out of his own pocket.
Healthy and trying to start an art business, he thinks his decision is rational. “There are all sorts of tragedies that can befall us in life. We can’t spend all of our time worrying about the statistically improbable,” he says.
Defenders of the individual-insurance mandate say people who don’t carry insurance impose a cost on society. If people get sick and don’t have insurance, they say, the public will have to pick up the tab.
“People not buying health insurance …have not removed themselves from the marketplace. They have inserted themselves in the marketplace in perhaps the most aggressive way,” says Steven Schwinn, a law professor at John Marshall Law School in Chicago.
Medicaid costs at issue
Another point of contention involves the Medicaid expansion. Many states already spend a quarter or more of their budgets on Medicaid, and some fear the cost will rise dramatically as the new law takes hold.
David Rivkin, a Washington lawyer representing the states in the Florida case, says there comes a point where cost crosses a line. By turning the states into “financial wards of the federal government,” he says, “you can vitiate state sovereignty.”
But several studies have predicted the overall cost to the states will be relatively small compared with the huge influx of federal dollars and the benefits residents will get from having insurance for the first time.
The states also do not have to accept the money, and can withdraw from Medicaid, although Rivkin and others say that’s not a realistic option, given how the public has come to depend on the program.
In Florida, Judge Roger Vinson has said that he’s leaning toward dismissing several counts in the states’ lawsuit but that he would allow “at least one count” to proceed.
Vinson has scheduled a follow-up hearing for December, when he’ll give what’s left of the case a closer look. He’s expected to issue a final ruling early next year, touching off a round of appeals.
The states want to move the case along as quickly as possible, to capitalize on what they view as public disenchantment with the law. They hope that public concern will shade how the lawsuit is viewed by the courts. They also believe that they can get the case before the U.S. Supreme Court before major features, such as the individual mandate, become effective in 2014. They believe that helps their cause because there will be less of the law to undo.
Barnett concedes that the Supreme Court usually bends over backward to uphold laws of Congress. But if the law turns out to be highly unpopular, he thinks the high court will be open to “valid constitutional objections.”
Real health care law
Pollsters of both parties see the backlash against health care as a long time in the making and Election Day, the inevitable cumulation of that discontent. But Democratic pollsters warn Republicans that if they interpret the midterm results to be a directive to repeal and replace health care law, then it will be their folly come 2012. Easy To Insure ME
In general elections, young people and minorities are much more likely to vote, and Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg predicts the pool of likely voters is “going to very quickly move to a different audience, many of whom are very clearly beneficiaries of these healthcare reforms.”
Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster, disagrees, saying “overwhelming majorities of Americans” believe the health care law will increase their premiums, health care costs, taxes, and federal deficit, while simultaneously decreasing their quality of care.
]]>
“The top priority of Americans [has been] controlling health care costs and controlling health insurance premiums,” said Ayres. “They think this bill does exactly the opposite. And that’s the fundamental problem.”Legislators failed to listen to the public when they “crammed” the health care bill through Congress, said Ayres, which is why opposition to health care law has been increasing according to an average of surveys on Pollster.com.
The White House and Democratic leadership have predicted public sentiment towards the health care law will soften once it’s implemented.
Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said a key voting bloc, senior citizens, have been “scared to death” about the health care law but, “I think in two years when the seniors recognize that it hasn’t cut their Medicare, in fact improved their preventive care [and] improved their prescription drug coverage, they’re going to have a different opinion of the bill.”
If Republican strategists criticize Democrats for believing the public will support health care if they improve their messaging, then Democrats say the fault of Republicans would be to interpret a wave of success on Election Day as an indication the country has rallied behind them.
“Republicans this year do not have an advantage on party image, they have not gained in popularity since the 2008 election, so one part of what they will have to live with afterwards is why they’ve emerged out of this, whatever the outcome, as a party the country has not rallied to,” said Greenberg. “This [election is] about the Democrats. But it’s a unique election because they’ve managed to push so many voters away through [the health care] process.”
Yoga Teacher Training Article for Sam Rao Yoga
Why become a yoga instructor?
Becoming a yoga instructor or teacher in your own community is one of the several ways of giving service or providing a service that benefits everyone.
So the question that I asked myself, almost 20 years ago, and you may ask it of yourself is:
“What are you going to do when you are finished with working, or when work has finished with you?”
My answer came by way of a yoga retreat where I met my yoga instructor with whom I trained for over 3 years to obtain my Yoga Alliance YA-500Hrs qualification.
There are 2 points worth noting in your own life:
We know that the average age in the UK and Europe is 84 Years for Women and 81 Years for Men. That is the average. So even on normal retirement age, there will be anywhere between 15 to 40 years of living to be had. What is going to be the quality of your life in retirement?
Apart from a fair salary, what other satisfaction do you get out of the job or the service that you give at the moment?
In my case this second question became the most important. I had arrived at that stage in life where I really didn’t like my job. It paid well but there was no other satisfaction.
Anyone can become a Yoga Teacher or Instructor. Yes it does require some yoga background but essentially any person, regardless of what they are doing now, can train and become a yoga instructor / teacher.
Here again the important factor is WHY? Why become a yoga instructor?
Why not take a few minutes and consider the following. And this is very much my case:
I have the freedom to earn by doing something I really enjoyed.
I have the opportunity to provide a service to my students that gives them a good feeling of their own good health.
It is the most satisfactory business that I have ever been involved with.
Although I have had to adjust my life-style, it is a wonderful way of making a living.
I know that if I had not made the life-style changes that yoga has brought in to my life, my own health and condition of my body and mind would have deteriorated.
As a yoga teacher I get the opportunity to empower my students to do all that Yoga can afford to reach to a satisfactory life-style.
As a business, it is one of the finest opportunities. It is understood that, in any community, only between half and 3 percent of the population ever practice yoga. This ancient art of self-healing is just not on everyone’s radar. So the opportunity is the vast market of the rest of the population that knows, understands, and are also aware that Yoga is something that will give them good health and a quiet mind.
]]>
My personal definition of happiness is: “good health and a quiet mind”.
So the answer to the question is……
Why not become a yoga instructor and take this discipline and this science of Yoga in to local halls, colleges, schools, offices, sports centres as well as retreats in exotic places. Possibilities of extending and enjoying your own life are endless.

Vote On Health Insurance Mandate
Voters in Arizona, Colorado and Oklahoma will have the chance Tuesday to repudiate the new health care law’s keystone provision, one that requires almost everyone to have health insurance or face a tax penalty beginning in 2014. Easy To Insure ME has the answers
Ballots in the three states include proposed amendments to the states’ constitutions that would prohibit the enforcement of the individual mandate and other provisions of the law. They echo a measure that Missouri voters approved by more than 70 percent in August. Legislatures in several other states, including Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana and Virginia, have also passed state laws with similar language.
But the ballot initiatives have set off a fierce debate: If they succeed, will they have any effect?
Critics of the referenda say they’re nothing more than a political gesture, misleading voters to believe that amending their state constitutions would allow them to opt out of the health care law. Given that the Supreme Court will likely have the final say on the constitutionality of the law before 2014, the public’s vote wouldn’t impact the national law, they say.
Some policy analysts agree.
“To me it’s more of a polling statement,” said Elizabeth McGlynn, an associate director at the RAND Corp., a nonprofit research organization based in California that has no position on the amendments. “It’s not clear to me in this case that the federal law wouldn’t override state mandate … that will be something the courts decide. … It’s not really clear to me what that does at the state levels.”
Proponents argue that the amendments have a strategic function beyond the scope of individual states.
“As more and more states pass these kinds of amendments … it’s going to embolden legislative action to repeal or defund legislative provisions” of the federal health law, said Robert Alt, deputy director of the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington.
]]>
‘New Avenues Of Litigation’
Having the new amendments in place would give states greater standing in the current litigation brought by 20 states against the federal law, says Christie Herrera, a director at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which has provided model legislation used by several states.
If the Supreme Court were to uphold the individual mandate in that case, a state constitutional amendment would “open new avenues of litigation,” she said. States could also file suit to argue that the health law violates their 10th Amendment rights to keep powers not otherwise delegated to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution.
Opponents of the ballot amendments say the measures could complicate health care issues within the states.
Dr. Michael Pramenko, president of the Colorado Medical Society, which opposes the ballot initiative, said the amendment could affect any state efforts to set up a program to expand insurance coverage. “It would tie our hands at the state level,” he said, adding that the amendment would prevent the state from setting up its own version of the individual mandate, independent of the federal government, in the future.
The proposed amendments in Arizona, and Oklahoma are nearly identical, while the Colorado amendment differs in subtle but significant ways. The measures are centered on a few key provisions: that no individual can be forced to participate in a public or private health plan; that a person’s ability to make or receive direct payments for medical services cannot be restricted; and that no one should be forced to pay a penalty for failing to enroll in a health plan.
Colorado Controversy
The Colorado amendment makes clear that it applies only to state efforts to impose such requirements.
The amendments do not deal with some of the other preparations for the health law that are falling to states, such as the health insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid that will begin in 2014.
“They’re operating on two bandwidths,” trying to oppose the federal law while also trying to implement it, said McGlynn. “Most of what states are going to have to do, they don’t get to avoid through these amendments.”
Colorado’s situation is unique because its amendment was brought to the ballot through citizen initiative, and doesn’t follow ALEC model legislation as closely. Its language allows for a much broader interpretation of the measure than other states have allowed for, argued Alec Harris, a policy analyst at the Colorado Center on Law and Policy, which opposes the amendment.
“It’s getting billed as — and people seem to view it as — a referendum on federal health reform,” Harris said. “This has no ability to do anything about federal health reform.”
Instead, Harris says, the language of the bill, which prohibits “the state of Colorado, its departments and agencies” from requiring that a person participate in a health plan, could interfere with the state’s auto-enrollment of Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus beneficiaries.
“Quite a bit of this stuff doesn’t go away even if the Affordable Care Act is ruled … completely constitutional,” Harris said. “It’s the unintended consequences that we’re worried about.”
The president of the Independence Institute, which drafted the amendment, disagreed. “It doesn’t stop the government from offering all sorts of alternatives and plans,” said Jon Caldara. “… Really it means that the state legislature can’t mandate that people should buy something they don’t want to by without getting voter approval.”
