Question by karen star: How would “reconciliation” work in the current health care debate?
I have read about filibuster, and recall some filibusters from days past, the gang of 14, and so on, but can someone explain this in simple terms for me? (Wiki articles were not particularly helpful, so just a clear explanation will be good.) I’m not looking for partisan bickering, but for simple direct explanation of the process. Thanks, in advance, for civility.

Answer by titou
How about “rehabilitation”? After all, the requisite for any recovery is first admitting that there is a real problem. To hear the politicians and insurance companies, as well as some health-care professionals who know which side their bread is buttered on — you’d think that what is called for in the catastrophic US health-care industry (sic) is just some fine tuning. As someone experienced with the phenomenon, I can tell you it rings like an alcoholic explaining and adjusting his drinking habit. I’ve even heard the claim that “We have the best health care in the world.”!
Right. And my drinking is OK because it’s top shelf.

ENOUGH verbiage and self-promotion in the guise of negotiation. This sophomoric nonsense has led too often to the logical conclusion: “The operation was a success, but the patient died.” No exaggeration: that is exactly what happened to my own mother. Diagnosed with Stage 3 metastatic breast cancer, such was the juggernaut of bureaucratic red-tape and protocol (not to mention physicians and hospitals lining their pockets and covering their own asses) that by the time anyone got around to actually helping her, she was dead.

Insurance is an important part of financial security for all people. When medical problems occur, you need to make sure you have enough money to cover the health care you will need. You never know when you might have an accident or get sick with cancer. That is why you need to find a health insurance quote that is right for you. Easy To Insure ME

You have thousands of insurance companies to choose from, but you can begin by requesting quotes from a few of the more prestigious companies. As you evaluate the quotes you receive, you will start to figure out which company has the best options for you. Don’t rely on cost charts or estimates. Instead, request a personalized quote.

In order to acquire the quotes, there are several things you have to do. Almost every insurance company is going to ask you to fill out an extensive questionnaire. You will need to answer questions about your medical history and any previous procedures you have had done. You will need to give information on any alcohol or tobacco use as well.

On the questionnaire, you will be asked to give your medical history. This will undoubtedly be verified by the insurance company so be honest about all past surgeries and sicknesses. When you receive quotes back from the insurance companies, you can see which ones have clauses excluding pre-existing conditions. This might change your decision on who to purchase coverage from.

You will also need to find out the details of your coverage options. Policies will differ depending on whether you are taking out a company policy or a personal policy. Either way, you need to make sure that you will get coverage from local health care providers. Check with your current doctor and hospital to make sure that they would accept the prospective policy.

You should also ask the insurance company for any additional policy options that could be added. Some companies provide bundled insurance packages where you can purchase dental insurance, life insurance, and even vision insurance all at once.

Dual diagnosis rehab centers treat psychiatric illnesses, accompanied by substance abuse issues. Treatment at dual diagnosis rehab centers should address the mental health disorders along with the substance abuse issues like alcoholism and/or drug addiction. The centers that treat dual diagnosis conditions understand that both illnesses have deleterious effects on the psychological, spiritual, social, and physical well-being.

Diagnosing two illnesses

A person diagnosed with dual disorders is affected by two or more conditions that are different but interrelated. Treatment at dual diagnosis rehab centers addresses the symptoms of illnesses identified by the treatment providers in order to devise a unique treatment program that addresses those conditions. As multiple illnesses are present, the symptoms may and commonly do overlap contributing to the complexity of treatment.

The goal of dual diagnosis rehab centers is overcome the substance abuse issues and properly manage, and ideally overcome, the mental health issues. Treatment requires time and significant commitment on the part of the patient and the treatment provider at dual diagnosis rehab centers. If all conditions are not discovered and address, relapse is very likely.

Finding the right dual diagnosis rehab centers

Dual diagnosis is a complex illness that requires proper care and attention from appropriately trained and experienced health care professionals. Families and patients, themselves, are advised to carefully select only dual diagnosis rehab centers that provide all of the necessary treatment services required to achieve symptomatic relief and management of the conditions. A comfortable, safe, and conducive environment is a significant aid in promoting wellness and healing.
