Jimmy Kimmel Compares Cassidy-Graham Health Care Proposal to Bill Cosby (Video)
The battle of words between Jimmy Kimmel and Sen. Bill Cassidy over health care continued on Thursday, with the ABC late-night host looking back on “an unusual week.”
“If you’ve been watching the show over the past few days, I have found myself in the middle of a battle over American health care,” Kimmel began his monologue.
“The reason I had [Cassidy] on my show in the first place was because he started telling people that any plan he supports would have to pass what he called ‘The Jimmy Kimmel Test,'” Kimmel said, before reiterating his reasons for protesting the Cassidy-Graham bill that aims to overhaul the health care system and replace Obamacare.

In his response Wednesday morning, the Louisiana Republican told CNN’s “New Day”: “I’m sorry he does not understand … more people will have coverage, and we protect those with pre-existing conditions.” The senator added, “There’ll be billions more dollars to provide health insurance coverage to those in those states who have been passed by Obamacare.”
The bill’s supporters say that giving states more flexibility to decide how they provide health care assistance to their residents will free them to design better, locally controlled systems, the L.A. Times reported. Graham and Cassidy state that their proposal keeps most of the tax revenue raised by the 2010 law, allowing the federal government to continue providing hundreds of billions of dollars of assistance.

However, Kimmel has said that “Americans, understandably, especially do not like the idea of being priced out of insurance for a pre-existing condition,” citing objections raised to the Cassidy-Graham bill by the American Diabetes Association, American Medical Association, American Cancer Society and American Heart Association.
“We haven’t seen this many people come forward to speak out against a Bill since Cosby,” he quipped.
“So, the president got involved last night, via Twitter, of course,” Kimmel continued, before quoting Trump’s tweets.
I would not sign Graham-Cassidy if it did not include coverage of pre-existing conditions. It does! A great Bill. Repeal & Replace.

“For Donald Trump, this isn’t about the Graham-Cassidy bill, it’s about getting rid of Obamacare, which he hates — primarily because Obama’s name is on it,” Kimmel said.
The Oscars host went on to defend his knowledge of health care — and his knowledge of Hollywood. “The fact that Charlie Sheen is still alive means he probably knows more about health care than any of us.
“And I feel like it’s my duty to remind these people who are so concerned about my qualifications, the guy you voted for president — his job qualification? He fired Meat Loaf,” he said in a “Celebrity Apprentice” reference. “And you put him in the White House.”

The healthcare bill could blow up in the GOP's face because of an obscure Senate rule
In just more than a week, the Graham-Cassidy healthcare bill has gone from its introduction as a fringe proposal to a serious prospect for overhauling the US healthcare system.Despite its rapid rise, the latest Republican attempt at repealing and replacing Obamacare faces challenges both policy-based and political.
Perhaps one of the biggest challenges for the bill will come next week when the Senate parliamentarian — an umpire of sorts for the chamber's rules — takes a look at the bill.
The parliamentarian will evaluate whether parts of the Graham-Cassidy bill violate a provision known as the Byrd rule — and if certain aspects of he bill run into trouble, it could throw the entire legislation into jeopardy.
*A bit about the Byrd Rule*
The Byrd rule, named after the late West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd, was passed in 1985 to erect guardrails on the types of bills that could be brought up through the process of budget reconciliation.
Reconciliation allows a bill to pass the Senate with just 50 votes and no threat of a filibuster to block the bill. Republicans, who currently control 52 Senate seats, are using the process to try to pass the Graham-Cassidy bill through the Senate without any Democratic votes.
The Byrd Rule, however, restricts what can be considered under budget reconciliation. If a provision of a bill is considered an "extraneous matter" or something "merely incidental" to the federal budget, it can be stripped out of the legislation.
*Byrd hunting*
The Graham-Cassidy bill will likely undergo the Byrd rule process — colloquially known as a "Byrd bath"— sometime next week.
Most healthcare experts say the focus will be on the bill's proposed waivers that would allow states to relax Obamacare regulations, most notably essential health benefits (EHB). EHBs are the 10 health services, like emergency room visits and prenatal care, that Obamacare mandated must be covered under insurance plans. Under Graham-Cassidy, states could ease these rules or even eliminate EHBs if they can show that it would bring down overall health costs.
The previous iteration of the Senate GOP's healthcare bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), already showed what may happen with the waivers in the Byrd rule process. During the Byrd bath, the waivers in the BCRA that allowed the loosening of EHBs and other regulations were deemed to have nothing to do with the budget and were required to be stripped out of the bill.
Health policy experts say this could indicate that the waivers in the Graham-Cassidy bill would also have to be stripped.
"My own prediction is that the parliamentarian is likely to strike the waiver provision," said Daniel Hermel, an assistant law professor at the University of Chicago.
"The state innovation waivers were cloaked in budgetary language (a state could qualify for a waiver only if it produced a plan that would not add to the federal deficit), but the parliamentarian evidently saw that the intent was to transform health insurance markets rather than save the federal government money," Hermel wrote in a post on Tuesday.
The language for the waivers, however, has been slightly tweaked from the BCRA's iteration, designed to hold up under the Byrd bath. As Vox's Dylan Scott reported, some experts believe it could be successful.
Others, like University of Michigan Law Professor Nicholas Bagley, say the parliamentarian won't be fooled by by a rewrite with a crystal-clear purpose.
"The waiver provision is not *exactly* the same; it’s been drafted to dodge reconciliation concerns," Bagley tweeted Wednesday. "But the dodge is transparent."
If the waivers are eliminated, the bill would simply shift the funding from the current percentage-based system, which adjusts based on how much money states actually spend, to the lump-sum block grants in the Graham-Cassidy. The block grants are much less generous overall than the current system.
In such a circumstance, states would get less funding for healthcare with little of the freedom proposed by the bill's authors.

US bishops: Newest health care proposal fails moral test
Washington D.C., Sep 22, 2017 / 11:08 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Leading U.S. bishops have applauded pro-life provisions in the newest GOP health care proposal, but said that substantial changes are needed in other areas to make the bill morally acceptable.
“Without significant improvement, this bill does not meet the moral criteria for health care reform outlined in our previous letters,” four committee chairs of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote to U.S. senators on Thursday.
They asked the senators “to think of the harm that will be caused to poor and vulnerable people.”
The four bishops who wrote the letter to the U.S. senators were Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, chair of the bishops’ pro-life activities committee; Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, chair of the ad hoc religious liberty committee; Bishop Joe Vasquez of Austin, chair of the migration committee; and Bishop Frank Dewane of Venice, Fla., chair of the domestic justice and human development committee.
Senate Republicans introduced the Graham-Cassidy health care proposal last week as the latest attempt by Republican lawmakers to repeal the current Affordable Care Act and replace it with another health care law.
Under the proposal, the old individual and employer health insurance mandates of the Affordable Care Act would be repealed, as well as the Medical Device Tax. Patients with pre-existing conditions would still be protected, the senators sponsoring the bill said.
States would receive more freedom and flexibility to innovate health care policies and lower costs, the senators claimed. The proposal would replace the expansion of Medicaid payments to the states with a “per capita cap” on the federal Medicaid payments based upon the population of the respective states.
However, these changes to Medicaid would “fundamentally restructure this vital program” and “result in deep funding cuts and lost coverage for millions of people,” the bishops wrote.
The bill would also replace other federal subsidies and grants to the states – like ACA premium tax credits and cost-sharing reduction subsidies – with block grants to states, the bill’s sponsors said. This would help reduce the inequality between the states that chose to partake in the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act and those that did not. Just three states received “37 percent of Obamacare funds,” the senators claimed.
However, “while flexibility can be good at times, these block grants will result in billions of dollars in reductions for those in health care poverty,” the bishops wrote.
States facing budget deficits may be forced to cut more programs benefitting low-income citizens if they do not receive the additional aid from the federal government, the bishops said.
Pro-life provisions in the bill are laudable, they noted, especially those protecting against taxpayer funding of abortions in health care, and redirecting Medicaid dollars away from abortion providers like Planned Parenthood toward other health clinics that do not provide abortions.
“The legislation does correct a serious flaw in the Affordable Care Act by ensuring that no federal funds are used for abortion or go to plans that cover it. This improvement is praiseworthy, and it is essential that any improved final bill retain these key provisions,” the letter said.
“We also applaud that Graham-Cassidy redirects funds from organizations that provide abortion,” the bishops said.
Looking ahead, the bishops told the senators to avoid being hasty in passing a comprehensive health care bill that could affect the coverage of millions of Americans.
“The Senate should only proceed with a full report concerning just how many people will be impacted,” the bishops said of the changes to Medicaid.
“Decisions about the health of our citizens – a concern fundamental to each of us – should not be made in haste simply because an artificial deadline looms,” the bishops said. Members of Congress should pass a bill with bipartisan support, one “that addresses the life, conscience, immigrant access, market stability and affordability problems that now exist.”

John McCain Kills GOP's Last Ditch Efffort To Repeal Obamacare
Third time turned out to be unlucky after all.Earlier today, Sen. Susan Collins said that she has serious concerns about the latest GOP bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare as Republicans prepare to vote on the legislation next week, adding that she was "leaning against the bill... I’m just trying to do what I believe is the right thing for the people of Maine." And with Collins voicing against the bill, it meant that GOP leadership would be left with no room for error if they want to get their last-ditch ObamaCare repeal bill through the Senate next week.
The math is simple: Republicans have 52 seats and need 50 senators to support the bill, which would require Vice President Pence to break a tie, under the special budget rules being used to avoid a Democratic filibuster. Sen. Rand Paul has already said he will vote against the legislation.
Which meant that *losing just one more vote would mean the end of this latest attempt to repeal Obamacare. *
They lost it moments ago when John McCain said in a statement that *"I cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal*"
I cannot in good conscience vote for Graham-Cassidy. A bill impacting so many lives deserves a bipartisan approach. https://t.co/2sDjhw6Era pic.twitter.com/30OWezQpLg
— John McCain (@SenJohnMcCain) September 22, 2017
The senator added that "I would consider supporting legislation similar to that offered by my friends Senators Graham and Cassidy *were it the product of extensive hearings, debate and amendment. But that has not been the case. Instead, the specter of September 30th budget reconciliation deadline has hung over this entire process*.
ULtimately, McCain demands the Democrats be part of any solution: "*A bill of this impact requires a bipartisan approach"*
His full statement below:
*STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON HEALTH CARE REFORM** *
*Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement today on health care reform: *
"As I have repeatedly stressed, health care reform legislation ought to be the product of regular order in the Senate. Committees of jurisdiction should mark up legislation with input from all committee members, and send their bill to the floor for debate and amendment. *That is the only way we might achieve bipartisan consensus on lasting reform, without which a policy that affects one-fifth of our economy and every single American family will be subject to reversal with every change of administration and congressional majority. *
*"I would consider supporting legislation similar to that offered by my friends Senators Graham and Cassidy were it the product of extensive hearings, debate and amendment. But that has not been the case. Instead, the specter of September 30th budget reconciliation deadline has hung over this entire process. *
"We should not be content to pass health care legislation on a party-line basis, as Democrats did when they rammed Obamacare through Congress in 2009. If we do so, our success could be as short-lived as theirs when the political winds shift, as they regularly do. The issue is too important, and too many lives are at risk, for us to leave the American people guessing from one election to the next whether and how they will acquire health insurance. *A bill of this impact requires a bipartisan approach*.
"Senators Alexander and Murray have been negotiating in good faith to fix some of the problems with Obamacare. But I fear that the prospect of one last attempt at a strictly Republican bill has left the impression that their efforts cannot succeed. I hope they will resume their work should this last attempt at a partisan solution fail.
"1 cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham-Cassidy proposal. I believe we could do better working together, Republicans and Democrats, and have not yet really tried. Nor could I support it without knowing how much it will cost, how it will effect insurance premiums, and how many people will be helped or hurt by it. Without a full CB0 score, which won't be available by the end of the month, we won't have reliable answers to any of those questions.
"I take no pleasure in announcing my opposition. Far from it. The bill's authors are my dear friends, and I think the world of them. I know they are acting consistently with their beliefs and sense of what is best for the country. So am I.
"I hope that in the months ahead, we can join with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to arrive at a compromise solution that is acceptable to most of us, and serves the interests of Americans as best we can."
And with the GOP's final attempt to pass Obamacare repeal before the end of the month now history, the market sighed a collective breath of relief, sending the managed care index soaring as the status quo is now assured to remain indefinitely.
And now we await Donald Trump's latest angry tweet. Reported by Zero Hedge 12 hours ago.

STOCKS CLOSE FLAT: Here's what you need to know
Stocks earned a small gain for the week after a mostly quiet day of trading for the three main indexes. Health insurance and hospital stocks gained following news that the GOP's latest attempt to repeal Obamacare appears doomed.Here's the scoreboard:
· Dow: 22,346.97 -12.26 (-0.05%)
· S&P 500: 2,502.42 +1.82 (0.07%)
· Nasdaq: 6,425.59 +2.90 (0.05%)
1. Sen. John McCain of Arizona may have dealt a fatal blow to the GOP's latest healthcare legislation. In a statement, McCain said the lack of "regular order" in crafting the legislation meant he could not support it.
2. T-Mobile and Sprint are closing in on a deal. Japan's SoftBank Group, which controls Sprint, will own 40% to 50% of the combined company, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
3. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon doubled down on his anti-bitcoin position, saying cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether 'are a kind of novelty.' "It's creating something out of nothing that to me is worth nothing," Dimon told CNBC-TV18 in New Delhi. "It'll end when people lose a lot of money."

Switzerland Struggles To Maintain Key Vaccine Stocks
By Celia Luterbacher
It’s one of the wealthiest nations in the world, yet Switzerland is struggling to maintain stocks of 16 key vaccines, forcing doctors to adapt their practices. What’s causing the shortfall, and what’s being done about it?
Primarily affected are ‘combination’ vaccines, which protect against multiple diseases – for example diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis (whooping cough), and a form of meningitis – with a single jab.
With restricted access to these critical vaccines from pharmaceutical manufacturers, doctors have been left to tap into their own local clinic or hospital reserves, or to rely on the remaining stocks from wholesalers.
But it’s not just Swiss healthcare providers who are struggling to make ends meet.
“This isn’t a Swiss problem – it’s an international problem. However, I can’t remember a situation like this in my 30 years of professional life as a vaccination expert,” Daniel Desgrandchamps, a paediatrics and infectious disease specialist, told swissinfo.ch.
According to the World Health Organizationexternal link, in 2015, 77% of European countries reported experiencing a shortage of at least one vaccine since the beginning of the year.
*Growing demand*
Vaccine production is struggling to keep up with an increasing global demand, due in part to large-scale vaccination programmes being deployed in African and Asian countries. Production is also becoming more centralised, with just a few large pharmaceutical companies – like Switzerland’s Novartis and Roche, as well as Pfizer and Sanofi – controlling most of the market.
Then there’s the question of profit. According to a report by Swiss public television, RTS, vaccines – which are administered at only a few key points in a person’s life (birth, injury, international travel, etc.) – may be viewed as less profitable prospects by pharmaceutical companies than drugs that are taken on a more regular basis. Testing and approval processes for new vaccines are also very costly and time-consuming for companies.
Desgrandchamps adds that Switzerland’s small size may also play a role in the domestic shortage.
“We have a very small market for pharmaceutical companies, and so producers might feel reluctant to submit vaccines for testing and approval by the authorities,” he says.
*Combinations, alternatives, and delays*
In July, the Federal Office for Public Health and the Federal Vaccination Commission issued recommendations for doctors to help them adapt their immunisation practices. The Swiss Society for Infectious Disease has also suggested alternatives to certain vaccines.
With combination vaccines in short supply, an obvious solution might seem to be to give several individual vaccines rather than one multi-purpose shot. But these so-called ‘monovalent’ vaccines are rarely manufactured anymore, having fallen out of favour with the convenience of combination vaccines.
This phenomenon has complicated the shortage problem. For example, Switzerland recommends that patients hospitalised with injuries receive tetanus vaccinations. The standard dose also contains diphtheria protection, which “piggybacks” on the tetanus vaccine to help reinforce immunity in the general population.
So, what are doctors to do when the combined diphtheria-tetanus vaccine runs out?
“You have to switch to a different diphtheria-tetanus combination vaccine with an additional polio or pertussis component. You end up having to give polio or pertussis vaccine to a person who doesn’t necessarily need it. It’s not dangerous, but you don’t like to have that because you just want to give patients the things they need,” Desgrandchamps says.
Doctors must also decide whether a vaccine is indispensable in the first place. For example, polio vaccination is recommended for adults travelling to certain countries. But without adequate supplies, doctors must decide, based on an individual’s risk of contracting the disease, between skipping the vaccine or using a formula designed for children – which can potentially have more severe side effects in adults. In some cases, alternative travel vaccines, which aren’t covered by Switzerland’s basic health insurance plan, may also cost more.
A final option is to delay vaccination in some individuals in favour of patients whose need is more urgent.
“The Federal Office of Public Health recommends vaccinating all young people between the ages of 25 and 29, as well as pregnant women during the second or third trimester, against pertussis. But we’re currently saving the remaining doses for pregnant women, so they can pass the antibodies on to their babies,” explains Laurence Rochat, Assistant Clinical Director of the Vaccination and Travel Medicine Center at the Policlinique Médicale Universitaire in Lausanne.
She adds that in her experience, most patients adapt fairly easily to these changes.
“I would estimate that we have to adapt our vaccine schedule every three or four consultations. Most people cope well with the situation, accept the proposed alternative, and don’t complain much about extra costs,” Rochat says.
*Cabinet recommendations*
The recent implementation of two recommendations from the Swiss cabinet, issued last year as part of a report on national vaccine storage and distribution best practices, show promise for improving the situation in Switzerland.
First, all vaccine shortages likely to last more than 14 days are now published online by the Federal Office for National Economic Supply. Second, manufacturers are required by law to submit enough vaccines to a central stockpile to meet national demand for three to four months.
So far, due to the supply bottleneck, progress in building up the stockpile has been slow – and for some critical vaccines, supplies are still non-existent. But Desgrandchamps is hopeful.
“I am confident that central storage will ameliorate the situation. There are still open questions, but I think it is a major step forward,” he says.
A possible future strategy for Switzerland, he adds, could be following the example of Austria and the UK and establishing centralised vaccine importation. This would involve making a deal with a specific company to provide a certain number of vaccines for a set price. Failure to supply the agreed number of doses would result in a fine for the manufacturer.
“Currently, companies deliver vaccines first to countries where they have an agreement for global supply, to avoid penalties. Countries like Switzerland with an open market usually come last,” Desgrandchamps explains.
*Vaccination facts*
No vaccine is compulsory in Switzerland, so it’s up to the patients to decide if they want to get vaccinated. However, the Swiss Vaccination Plan recommends immunisations for various diseases at different stages of life, both for the general population and certain at-risk groups. Recommendations are formulated based on the regularly updated opinions of experts from the Federal Vaccination Commission, Federal Office of Public Health, Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, Swissmedic, and the World Health Organization.
The cost of most basic vaccines is reimbursed by Swiss compulsory health insurance. There are some exceptions, such as the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine, which may be covered by certain cantonal programmes; and vaccines recommended for international travellers, which are usually covered by a complementary insurance plan Reported by Eurasia Review 45 minutes ago.
