26. Health care law provides first-ever national long-term care plan

rm-care-plan

2010-04-18 09:02:05
Description: MCT WASHINGTON — A casual observer of the health care debate might think the historic new federal law does little to help older Americans. In fact, emotional talk of “death panels” likely led more than a few people to expect bad news for end-of-life care. It’s true that the new law promises to pay only a tiny share of states’ biggest and fastest growing health care bill — long-term care for the elderly and other adults with disabilities. Still, its attention to the issue may end up paying much bigger dividends in the future. The law, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, includes the first-ever national long-term care insurance plan — called Community Living Assistance Services and Supports, or CLASS — a federally administered program financed through payroll deductions. If a significant number of people sign up for the voluntary program — a heavily debated issue — individual long-term care benefits could defray a portion of states’ costs.

Description: Most people view the iPad as a slick multi-media entertainment platform, but Gregg Vanderheiden, a university professor, sees other potential uses for Apple's new touchscreen device. "Say you have somebody who's had a stroke, for example, and they wake up and they can't communicate," said Vanderheiden, director of the Trace Research and Development Center at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. "Instead of buying a 5,000-dollar communications aid you take out your iPad and download an app and -- bam! -- they can communicate," he told AFP.

2010-04-06 18:01:37
Description: A father-of-two who awoke one morning to find he had gone blind is on the brink of having his sight restored and seeing his sons for the first time in two years. Indian finance manager Cruz Dev Prasad was struck by a rare condition called bilateral cortical infarcts, which affects the brain cells that control sight, in March 2008. At first, the 52-year-old thought he was suffering from food poisoning, but hours later, he was plunged into permanent darkness. Now, he is dhs43,000 away from regaining his vision through specialist surgery that will enable him to see his sons - five-year-old Joshua and three-year-old Hasha - again. Prasad said: “It was a complete shock. I felt unwell about 3am and was vomiting. I assumed it was something I’d eaten but it got worse.” He was rushed to hospital from his home in Ajman and doctors battled to prevent Prasad from suffering a stroke, which can also be caused by the condition.
