As Obama Wades Into Health Debate, Tough Choices Await
"As the legislative debate over health care intensifies on Capitol Hill, there is growing clamor for President Obama to step in," the Washington Post reports. The administration has so far left the crafting of legislation in the hands of Congress, but a series of tough choices await the President, who at some point must define "what he"ll accept and what he won"t" in a final bill. His job is made more difficult by recent cost estimates. "A preliminary estimate of the Senate Finance Committee"s draft bill put the price tag of universal coverage at $1.6 trillion over 10 years. That was considerably more than anyone anticipated and forced the committee to delay work on the bill. The cost of the incomplete plan drafted by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee was pegged at about $1 trillion over 10 years, but the CBO said that would still leave 30 million (rather than the current 46 million) people without coverage."

State, Local Providers Practice Response To Emergency Events - Alabama Department Of Public Health

Several state and local agencies, hospitals and others conducted a full-scale exercise involving a simulated terrorist attack July 14 and 15 at Georgia Washington Junior High School in Montgomery. The Alabama Department of Public Health, the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, State Mortuary Operations Response Team (SMORT), and the Montgomery City/County Emergency Management Agency in conjunction with the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health and South Central Center for Public Health Preparedness participated in the exercise. The purpose of the exercise was to evaluate the capabilities of the emergency responders and to practice responding to a complex incident. The exercise consisted of practicing several aspects of response to a terrorist incident including setting up mobile medical stations, communicating with partner agencies and processing and documenting decedents. SMORT, headed by Douglas Williams of Cullman County, was an integral part of the exercise. Both Cullman County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and Lee County EMA deployed portable mortuary units to the scene for the team to work through the response process as they would during a real event. Mobile County EMA also has a deployable mortuary unit that can be requested during an emergency. "Exercising with response partners like SMORT provides agencies with an opportunity to discover and address any issues beforehand so that when emergencies occur in the state, we can more efficiently work together to respond," said Andy Mullins, director of the Center for Emergency Preparedness at the Alabama Department of Public Health. "ADPH has planned and exercised with SMORT, the Department of Forensic Sciences, the Funeral Directors Association and the Alabama Coroners Association over the past few years and the partnerships continue to strengthen as we work through response issues together." Additional participants in the exercise included the Montgomery City/County EMA, Montgomery Fire Department, Montgomery Police Department, Baptist Medical Center East, Baptist Medical Center South and Prattville Baptist Hospital.
