Joe Biden’s plan: Putting the care back in healthcare

 

The current president has had very little success, when it comes to dismantling the healthcare system set up by former President Barack Obama. The Trump administration, however, have not made the changes and adjustments needed. Millions have lost their insurance during this administration. And with the onset of COVID-19 hurting the economy and exposing our broken healthcare system, true reform is needed to get back into fighting shape. Dr. Matt Boente, M.D., and many healthcare professionals believe that Joe Biden is the man America needs to vote for this November. The merits of his healthcare plan alone should already make him the obvious choice.

The main goal of Biden’s healthcare plan will revamp the Obamacare individual health insurance market, changing it in such a way that it becomes much more affordable for everyone, especially low-income earning households. His policies include investing more on selective plans that have low deductibles rather than lo-priced plans with higher deductibles. These plans will also ensure families and individuals premium subsidies by doing away caps on subsidies for people who earn 400% less than the federal poverty level.

Biden’s healthcare plan will ensure the coverage of 5 million people in states that have yet to expand Medicaid through access to a federal option that’s premium-free. While these may not be the same people that were kicked out of their healthcare plans in the last four years, they, too, will regain coverage eventually through Biden’s healthcare plan.

For Dr. Matt Boente, M.D., Biden’s plan is simple; to tackle issues that people didn’t like in Obamacare to help people in the lower and middle class, the same bracket that has been most affected by the changes made by the Trump administration.

Outlining the key competencies of doctors

  What does it take to be a doctor? That seems to be a question that has no straight answer, considering that, as the world evolves, so do medicine and medical practices. Dr. Matt Boente, MD, however, attempts to shed light on the matter by sharing a number of key competencies that good doctors have. Image source: sgu.edu 1. Talent Without any exceptions, doctors need to be talented enough, particularly with a high intelligence quotient, in order for them to perform the duties and responsibilities that are expected of them. Doctors don’t go through a number of stringent processes for no reason. Earning an undergraduate degree, passing the MCAT, getting into medical school, and residency training, all serve as instruments that are designed to produce only the best minds in society. 2. Lifelong learning According to Dr. Matt Boente, MD, doctors are able to survive not only because of their ability to take in knowledge from the books they have read in their training, but because

Cubs update: What a canceled season looks like

Image
The past couple of weeks saw the world slow down as the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide continues to climb. Major sporting events are either suspended indefinitely or canceled. The MLB decided its best to cancel the season for everyone’s health and safety. Image source: wrex.com Image source: bleacherreport.com On March 8, the Cubs held their annual training in Wrigley Field in preparation for Opening Day, which was supposed to take place a few weeks following the annual training session. Two Cubs employees tested positive for COVID-19. The team did not have the results until March 23 and 24. The Cubs believe the training session on March 8 contributed to the exposure of the two to the highly-contagious virus since there was nothing indicative of it during the session, notes Dr. Matt Boente MD, an ardent supporter of the Chicago Cubs. Julian Green, the spokesperson for the Chicago Cubs, first talked with the Chicago Sun-Times about the COVID-19 positive case

Alongside Dr. Robert Ozols, Dr. Matt Boente MD wrote a SPORE grant to the NIH to study ovarian cancer, a SPORE-Special Program for Research Excellence resulting in a $5 million grant.

Image source: npr.org Image source: visitcompletecare.com Healthcare is now presented as a health capital of sorts, which consumers demand in large quantities. While it sounds like simple economics, the difference here is that the resources and funding needed for healthcare is both for consumption and production, unlike other goods. Because of this, there are four key figures in healthcare: contributors, citizens, providers, and consumers. Dr. Matt Boente MD cites Michael Grossman’s Model of Health Production from 1972 as being one of t
