(Webinar) Silver and Blue: The Unfinished Business of Mental Health Care for Older Adults
You’re invited to a poll briefing webinar from the John A. Hartford Foundation: “Silver and Blue: The Unfinished Business of Mental Health Care for Older Adults”。
This unique survey of people age 65 and older with experience of depression reveals troubling shortfalls in the standard of care, misconceptions about depression and anxiety, older adults’ treatment preferences including integrated care and team care, and first-person descriptions of the pain of depression.
State health law implementation: Race to the starting line
Less than a year from now, states must be ready to enroll millions of people in insurance exchanges, as outlined in the 2010 health care overhaul law. Or, the federal government will step in to do the job, or part of it. States also have the option of opening their Medicaid programs to millions of new participants. But that’s not much time, considering their long to-do lists.
What information do the states still need from the federal government about how the federal and partnership exchanges will work? How much latitude will the states have to handle eligibility for Medicaid and to make sure that people transitioning between Medicaid and subsidized private insurance in the exchanges won’t have gaps in coverage? Can the federal government be ready with its own back-up exchanges? Will insurers be ready in time?
This briefing, sponsored by AHCJ, the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will help you answer these questions for your readers, viewers and listeners.
