2B – Daily News – Thursday, March 18, 2010 WORLD BRIEFING Health care bill wins support from Rep. Kucinich, Catholic nuns WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care legislation won precious support from a longtime liberal hold- out in the House on Wednesday and from Catholic nuns representing dozens of religious orders, gaining fresh traction in the run-up to a climactic weekend vote. ‘‘It’s a good sign,’’ said Obama, two weeks after taking personal command of a campaign to enact legislation in what has become a vir- tual vote of confidence in his still-young pres- idency. After days of secretive meetings, Democra- tic officials said they hoped to release the wording of the final legislation within hours, pending final cost and deficit-reduction esti- mates from the Congressional Budget Office. The long-anticipated measure is actually the second of two bills that Obama hopes lawmakers will send him in coming days, more than a year after he urged Congress to remake the nation’s health care system. The first cleared the Senate late last year but went no further because House Democrats demanded significant changes — the very revisions now being packaged into the sec- ond bill. Together, the measures are designed to extend coverage to more than 30 million who now lack it and ban the insurance industry from denying coverage on the basis of pre- existing medical conditions. Obama also has asked lawmakers to slow the growth of med- ical spending generally, a far more difficult goal to achieve. Terror suspects show challenge of problem WASHINGTON (AP) — The growing front in the war on terrorism may be no farther than Main Street. The terror cases that have emerged in the past week have one common characteristic: The suspects are all Americans. One is a woman who looked after the elder- ly in suburban Pennsylvania. Another a secu- rity guard from New Jersey. Altogether more than a dozen Americans have been captured or pursued for allegedly supporting jihad, or holy war, over the past two years. The cases demonstrate with increasing clarity what authorities have long known: The terrorist threat does not just come from the skies, far away, but from Hometown, U.S.A. Some were inspired by the U.S. involve- ment in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, feder- al prosecutors said. Others, like the accused Pennsylvania woman, allegedly wanted to avenge what they considered an insult to the Prophet Muhammad. Many traveled overseas to get terrorist training. Some fomented plots on their computers in the comfort of their own homes. There is no evidence that these cases are connected in any way. But they underscore the new reality that there is a threat from violent Islamic extremism from within the U.S. It is difficult to say whether the uptick in cases is because law enforcement has gotten better at catching suspects or if there are simply more to catch. Israel lifts West Bank closure JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Wednesday lifted its tight restrictions on Palestinian access to Jerusalem’s holiest shrine and called off an extended West Bank closure after days of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces. Despite moving to end the lockdown, Israel still kept thousands of police officers on alert as an uneasy calm set- tled over the holy city. The recent violence has taken place against a backdrop of deep Palestinian frustration over a yearlong standstill in peace talks and dovetailed with the worst U.S.-Israeli diplo- matic feud in decades. On Tuesday, the U.S. and Israel signaled they were try- ing to move beyond the crisis that erupted when Israel announced plans to build 1,600 apartments in disputed east Jerusalem during Vice President Joe Biden’s visit last week. Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone Tuesday night, Israeli officials said. Doctoring new med? ny. DEAR DR. GOTT: I am so happy you are on the Internet. I was hoping it would happen because sometimes I miss your column in the Naples, Fla., news- paper, and now you are available to me all the time. I wish I could find a doctor like you here in Naples, but they all seem to come here to become millionaires. My present doctor Dr. Peter Gott charges $3,500 a year to see me four or five times to ask how I am feeling, which is a little much. He has been my physician for the past 15 years, and now this! He doesn’t take Medicare. I tried another physician and thought I would give a woman a go. Wrong! I was completely ignored by her and was treated by her LPN assistant. What’s a gal to do? DEAR READER: Sadly, this is the wave of the future. Five years ago, an article appeared in The New York Times regarding such ser- vices. A woman received a letter from her family physi- cian requesting a $1,500 annual fee to remain a patient. It seemed as if he was offering longer appoint- ments, there would be no waiting, he would provide his cell-phone number for after-hours calls, and he would accept only 400 patients into the practice. The purpose? “To maintain the highest quality of patient care.” The woman was tired of sitting in the waiting room for extended periods and found the idea appealing. At the time she signed on, concierge practices cost $1,500 or more. It was rec- ommended at the time that potential patients determine which hospitals such physi- cians used, what would hap- pen once signing the con- tract if he or she were to go out of business, and whether it might be necessary to con- tact the office of the state attorney general should a dispute in the contract result. All this was divulged with zero or questionable cover- age by an insurance compa- I neither endorse nor condemn the practice of concierge doctor- ing. What works for one physician may not work for another. I’m not sure it would be a good fit for me. Part of the challenge, fun and pleasure is to diagnose a variety of patients each day with their diverse issues. If you are into a contract, you will likely have a year to pass judgment. Should you choose to renew your con- tract and find your $300- per-visit out-of-pocket expense worth it, then stick with the plan. If not, I’m sure another physician out there will gladly take you into the fold. Most physi- cians have backup coverage when they’re unavailable, so cell-phone numbers should- n’t enter into the equation. Now, to the doctor versus the licensed practical nurse: I don’t have a problem with LPNs. I had an excellent one work for me a number of years ago. What I do find disappointing is that you were turned over to an LPN on what appears to be your first visit to the office. I rec- ommend you telephone the office with your complaint. Indicate that you expected more than you got. Perhaps a second chance is in order. Good luck. To provide related infor- mation, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Choosing a Physician.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newslet- ter, P.O.
