It's a NEW Day - Affordable Health Care Implementation Leadership by MPA LLC

July 26, 2013

MILWAUKEE | Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association released the NEW attitude her office will advance to the marketplace in Preparedness leadership for Affordable Health Care implementation by Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC.

"I have selected Patti LaBelle - It's a NEW DAY as the tempo of my commitment, those who work for and with me and those who come to the table for NEW engineering  around the table - I am excited - I'm pushing ahead - every door that closes a window opens, it starts from within - letting go of the past - loving what's inside - pushing ahead the goal is nearer - spreading our wings - it's gonna be alright - it's a new day, said Glass.

It is the paradigm shift and positive concept of a NEW Day in the Code of Conduct in the Health Care Marketplace that brings to the table of blueprinting, residential and commercial consumers at the Census Tract and Neighborhood level empowerment. It is looking at the 2011 figures of 18% health cost of the Gross Domestic Product/GDP, that comes out to be about 2 trillion dollars; and say we can change this.  Also, since it is said that 5% of the consumer base brings 55% of  the cost; and, since it is known that at least 55% of the same population has had a "LACK of - NO health care", it stands for reason that there would be extreme concentration of high poverty and need for their input for change.

Affordable Health Care Change - March 23, 2010

On October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014, everybody is allowed to parse out their own-selected heath carrier.  That's the good news.  The not-so-good news and can be disastrous, the residential and commercial consumer for health care are not PREPARED to navigate the choices or options that are being put in place by others; and, are available in and out of the exchange.  The "IN" exchange for Wisconsinites is the Federally-Assisted Exchange.  It was a default application put in place in case states decided to not participate in the Affordable Health Care process. 

Such is the case for Wisconsin, since Governor Scott Walker, Ted Nickel, his Insurance Commissioner, Secretary Dennis Smith, Health & Human Services (replacement in February, 2013 - Secretary Kitty Rhoades and interim Secretary Kevin Moore) and Secretary Reggie Newsom, Workforce Development, chose to not provide necessary benchmarks and other pre-requisites for Wisconsinites preparation.  

Governor Walker was counting on a "defeat" of President-Candidate Barack Obama and did not plan for his constituents.  Since this did not happen, there were little to NO plans put in place for People.  For those with health care plans they, seemingly did not care for the most part.  However, for those who had little to NO insurance were left further disadvantaged without the support from our state government.  This condition was further exhausted by Governor Walker's rejection of the Expanded Medicare provisions.

With this type of headwind, Wisconsinites, especially Milwaukeeans need to know the following about the Affordable Health Care law-plan:

• What are the approved insurance carriers?
• What's the difference of having an IN Exchange insurance carrier vs an OUT-of Exchange insurance carrier?
• What's promised.  
• What's delivered?  
• What's understood vs What should be understood?  
• What it cost?

NEW DAY

It is this concept/context that MPA LLC provides Preparedness leadership.

It is this concept/context that MPA LLC is spearheading the 2013 Affordable Health Care Summit and Fair, August 2-4, 2013.

It is this concept/context that MPA LLC declares it is a buyers market.  A market that calls for a seller-payer-provider to work with public and private consumers at the Census Tract and Neighborhood level for re-engineered engagement for better/best health care health management and cost containment with value-choices.

It is this concept/context that MPA LLC reminds the marketers that they must be at the Census Tract and Neighborhood engagement, pathway building and re-engineering of participation of those who traditionally have been left out of the blueprinting, decision making process for leadership management, board advisory, steering committees, partners, employees, procurement, ancillary collaborations, networking, joint venturing, health practitioner staffing (doctor-nurse-specialist).  Not this time - It is a NEW DAY.

To sit at the table, framing and creating the re-engineered Health Care system for Wisconsin Urban Population Health Care.  To recognize and address chronic illness and day-to-day environmental and economic strains on health care and health cost. To provide measurement, implementation, inclusion, commitment, education and technology attainment tools for successful input and BUY-IN by those who have had little to NO health care and are at a disadvantage when it comes to navigating the complex and not fully defined Federally-Assisted Exchange process.

Holistic but Core

The Code of Conduct for success for the NEW DAY demands "Core presence" of the census tract and neighborhood population.  It is for-profit, non-profit, public, private, joint ventures, philanthropic and individual inclusion. It is those small businesses that at 1-20 employees - first timers primarily to seek insurance for employees.  It is the individual consumer that will purchase insurance.  It is the individual and/or senior w/pre-existing conditions.  It is the church w/school employment.  It is the independent contractor, temporary and part-time employee.  It is the 30 hour a week vs 40 hour per week employee.  It is investing in INCENTIVES that promotes engagement of the consumer.  It is the individual and family members taking on a more healthier lifestyle through use of electronic medical records, mobile device monitoring, fitness clubs and plans, on-the-spot and on-going education.  It is call centers at the census tract and neighborhood level promoting state-of-the-art information and promoting employment.

It is leadership from the Core Presence to drive down health care cost and promote cost containment.  It is leadership with a prospective reform angle that includes nuances in health care management that includes "cost bundling for cost containment", especially in long-term and cancer-type health care.

It is the Core Presence that identifies and reject corporate exploitation and Cost Shifting.

It calls for dedicated input by residential and commercial consumers with private and public payers, health care providers (hospital-clinic-home care facilities-ancillaries of care) with private and public staffing, health practitioners (doctor-nurse-specialists) that are publicly and privately paid, pharmaceuticals (drug companies and pharmacies), suppliers (companies representing and lobbying for companies), schools (public and private), trade associations and health purchasers.
