Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:The VA announced a new "Telehealth" program where any eligible veteran can schedule a video chat with a doctor. This is actually pretty great. I know several veterans who forego regular access to their doctor because of the difficulty in actually getting to their visit.

empty whippet box posted:This seems...weird. not really: the demands that the HFC would demand for their votes are deal-breakers and can't command enough republicans to pass without democratic votes (and their demands are obviously deal-breakers for democrats) that means you need a coalition of moderate/safe republicans, plus democrats, to pass it: but democrats are asking why the gently caress should they be the ones who have to take the hard vote without a sweetener, and are making suggestions that they will demand no deficit increasing tax cuts for the rich in return (traditionally, the party that controls the white house had to be the adult party while the opposition would oppose the debt ceiling hike and talk about how the white house was spending us into debt) so the only really viable option forward to raise the debt ceiling is to try to coalesce behind a "clean" bill and dare Democrats to oppose it after demanding clean bills under Obama, where everyone is aware that a failed vote will make the market collapse after the failure of TARP look like a fond dream

Bob Corker (R-TN) might be in deep poo poo and not win his primary. http://tennesseestar.com/2017/06/07/poll-senator-bob-corker-may-be-in-trouble-with-tennessee-republican-primary-voters/ quote:A new poll released by The Tennessee Star conducted of 1,007 likely Republican primary voters in Tennessee by Triton Polling and Research shows that Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) may have trouble winning the nomination of his own party in its August 2018 U.S. Senate primary. So that's now Flake, Corker and Heller who are in deep poo poo with their states.

Teleconference doctor's appointments are actually quite a sticky subject, much like videoconferencing with caregivers for the elderly. It feels very "fake" to a lot of people and unless you have a pre-established relationship with the patient it is hard to provide what someone contacting a doctor really needs, that is, someone you know caring for your plight and who can spot what might be wrong with you beyond what you are telling them. For mental issues especially this is doubly hard. It isn't without merits if implemented correctly, but, uh, Trump.

For mental issues especially this is doubly hard. It's dumb as poo poo, the VA should just offer some kind of Cadillac Medicare coverage to all veterans and let them seek medical help at whatever caregiver is convenient to them. Assign some loving captain and SFC to a few major hospitals to act as VA liaison officers, so the vets have a POC for info/complaints relating to their VA medicare plans. Run the billing through some loving empty office at the Pentagon with a bunch of Mabels working the no doubt ANCIENT accounting software. I don't know why this wasn't done years ago. Every Veteran I know loving hates the VA, it's poo poo.

The VA has been working on teleconferencing for a while (I knew people trying to get it off the ground in my field while I worked there), but yeah there are a number of significant hurdles, both technical and otherwise, to overcome to make it really viable for widespread use. If everything does get solved to a reasonable extent, it would be a very useful tool to have available.Sensible Thursday posted:His blog was worth reading in the early 2008 primaries when Nate Silver hadn't made a name for himself yet and nobody else knew how to read polls. He's an Alinsky disciple whose love for the dramatic in politics has gradually grown to encompass his whole being.
