Germany’s Health Care: Quality Care for All
With Congress back in session, debate over reforming the American health care system is once again in full swing. Supporters of universal health care want the U.S. system to be more like those in Europe, with the government taking an active role to guarantee coverage for everyone. Those who oppose drastic changes in the U.S. system say greater government involvement and universal coverage guarantees will push the U.S. toward socialism. Germans have the oldest universal health care system in Europe – its origins go back more than a century – and they are generally pleased with the care they receive. Is there a lesson there for America? VOA’s Sonja Pace reports from the German capital, Berlin.

Obama Goes Toe-To-Toe With Stephanopoulos On “Tax Increases”
On “This Week,” George Stephanopoulos and President Obama have a colorful discussion over Obama’s health care reform proposal.
Stephanopoulos takes issue with a mandate that obligates Americans to purchase health insurance, or risk being fined as much as $900. “How is that not a tax?”
“A responsibility to get health insurance is not a tax increase,” Obama said.
Stephanopoulos then tells Obama that he looked up the definition of “tax” in Merriam Webster’s dictionary.
“The fact that you looked up… the definition of tax increase indicates that you’re stretching a little bit right now,” Obama responded.

VVH-TV News — Lyme Disease: Medical Nightmare (Part 2)
Lyme disease — it has become epidemic on Long Island and much of the New
York Metropolitan Area, indeed across the United States. But as bad as the
illness has become, so has treatment for it — health insurers have
discouraged long-term treatment for what is often a long-term illness.
Suffolk County Long Island Legislator Edward Romaine recently held a
public meeting on Lyme disease.
Eva Haughie, President, Empire State Lyme Disease Association. She has
had Lyme disease for nearly 20 years. Her association is based in Manorville.
Dr. Joseph Burrascano, East Hampton, New York He is a pioneer in the
treatment of Lyme disease. And because of the push by medical insurers to
only cover short-term treatment — two, three or four weeks of antibiotics
– and Dr. Burrascano having developed a protocol for treating the many
people who are not cured in the short-term but have chronic Lyme disease,
he ended up being attacked. But he came through it and is regarded as a
major leader in the field.
Staci Grodin, Co-Founder and President, Turn the Corner Foundation. A
Lyme Diseases victim, her Turn the Corner Foundation has raised over $2
million and funded important Lyme disease research.
Sandy Berenbaum, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Brewster, New York. She
has specialized with working with those with chronic Lyme disease. Her
accounts were most poignant, and her explanation of why health
insurers balk at providing compensation for long-term treatment most illuminating.
Diane Blanchard, President, Time for Lyme. A former resident of Westhampton, where she and members of her family contracted Lyme disease, she presently lives in Greenwich, Connectcut. Her organization, Time for Lyme, focuses on education and research.
Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. Humayan Chaudhry. confirms how Lyme disease has become “endemic”.
Suffolk County Legislator Edward Romaine
New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr., Sag Harbor, New York who
talks about the bill he has before the New York State Assembly requiring
health insurers to provide compensation for long-term treatment of Lyme
diseases — a measure that has been bottled up in Albany.
Shelter Island Town Supervisor Alfred Kilb, Jr. Shelter Island has long
been a particular hotspot for Lyme disease and Kilb describes Shelter
Islanders he knows with chronic cases of the disease.
