Medicare Reform Plan Would Freeze Physician Pay for 3 Years


June 30, 2011 — Physicians would dodge a nearly 30% Medicare pay cut next January and see their rates frozen for 3 years under an ambitious proposal from 2 US senators to slow the growth of Medicare spending and save the government healthcare program for seniors.
However, seniors would get hit squarely with fiscal pain. The reform plan issued yesterday by Sen. Tom Coburn, MD (R-OK), and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) would gradually raise the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 years by 2025, require wealthier seniors to pay more for their share of the Part B medical program and the Part D drug program, and increase Part B premiums for all enrollees. These and other features of the plan that have not yet been submitted as legislation would supposedly save more than $600 billion over 10 years.

Master Plan for rural electrification through renewable energy demanded


The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said that alternative forms of energy are becoming more cost-competitive with conventional fuels therefore government should accelerate the pace of its development.

Energy crisis is greatest bottleneck in the supply of resources to our economy; it is biggest problem than terrorism, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.

He said that some areas will have to brave 23-hour load shedding by 2020 if development of energy resources was not given proper attention.

He said that industrial development, commercial activities, population growth and inefficiency are main causes for the crisis while the rising costs of fossil fuels coupled with volatility has made alternatives more attractive.

Moreover, construction costs of oil, gas, coal and nuclear power plants have jumped by 80 per cent in five years which calls for investing in renewable energy, he said adding that we need to realise that economics of traditional fuels are changing.

Physicians Adopt Public Safety Policies at AMA Meeting


June 24, 2011 (Chicago, Illinois) — The American Medical Association (AMA) considered the public health implications of bisphenol A (BPA), mercury emissions, and bath salts here at the 2011 Annual Meeting. Therecommendations of the AMA's Reference Committee E were passed to a standing ovation in an unprecedented unanimous vote by the AMA's House of Delegates.
BPA is widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics. The AMA's Council on Science and Public Health prepared a report reviewing human exposure to BPA and the federal regulation of BPA. In the United States, BPA is regulated by 2 agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Physicians testified that these agencies do not appear to be on the same page when regulating this endocrine-disrupting chemical.
