MILWAUKEE PROFESSIONALS ASSOCIATION LLC adds Transformative Learning as a core way of penetration for AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE

November 19, 2012
MILWAUKEE (MPA-PPR) - On Friday, November 16, 2012, Governor Scott Walker in a Letter to Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, gave his office decision to not participate/provide an Exchange for the State of Wisconsin.  His decision precluded "state-ran" exchange and "partner" exchange.

As a state-ran exchange, the state would implement all rights, processes and procedures for providing the national health care plan - The Navigator.

As a partner exchange, the state would work with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to implement specific pieces of the full implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act; i.e., validating licensing and solvency of health insurance carriers - Co-Navigator.

However, since this is a national law for everyone to have health care coverage, his decline to form and implement the national health care act for the state of Wisconsin; the plan must be and will be implemented and ran as a federal-faciliated exchange by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Given the lack of interest and unwillingness of Governor Walker, Commissioner of Insurance Ted Nickel and Secretary Dennis Smith, WI Department of Health Services to meet benchmarks as well as repeated failure to provide Milwaukee Professional Association LLC with requested public information to help provide education and technical support to residential and commercial Wisconsinites in Milwaukee, his decision to withdraw is seen as positive while recognizing the doomsayers and obstructionists.  

Penetration = TRANSFORMATIVE Learning

Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, MPA LLC announced, "Today, as a premier supporter in Milwaukee Urban Health care and the Affordable Health Care Act, we take our commitment for full implementation, January 1, 2014, to a neighborhood and business level.  In addition to the hands-on government and non-profit organizations, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC and other for-profit small businesses will provide hands-on outreach and participation for a successful full implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act that includes growth and cost savings through education-technology-business development-employment for the infrastructure.  We see "Transformative" learning as the premier way to penetrate the constituency population of Affordable Health Care beneficiaries in the city of Milwaukee.  This process is a paradigm shift - that includes three dimensions: psychological (changes in understanding of the self), convictional (revision of belief systems), and behavioral (changes in lifestyle) (Wikipedia). If we are to make the Affordable Health Care Act a "patient-centered" health care plan, that produce health wellness and cost savings, the patient must know the rules-of-play, capable of enforcement and be in the driver's seat.  We are already in the public square with the message of education and technology attainment.
