or medicare or no medicaid. but who didn't have private insurance either so a 30000000 people who have no insurance whatsoever so that's you have problems getting very concerned about and that public is probably growing or clearly growing because so many people remain unemployed and they were getting their insurance through their employer so this is good because what parents just have to be all this are not unfeeling it's a pencil been saying this for months or you know weeks that iraq is going to get you know getting reimbursed and so on and then when you look at the small print it doesn't seem to be the case as far as i'm aware not all of the medical insurance companies how agreed to come for anything beyond testing that can recall rest as mandated the insurance companies cover testing its treatment and we're wondering about several of the main insurance companies have said that they will cover treatment all of those ones i've seen but parents often make statements like this well look at the way that i think t

into this and many doctors say that the decisions are changing day by day until last month medicare and medicaid they were very strict about what technology could be used and they did not allow smartphones now you can use that. but how much they will cover well that's another decision they're making as well you know i know with my own dad being a physician sarah a lot of these insurance companies end up picking and choosing what they will and will not pay for that is extremely frustrating not only for these doctors but also for the patients and knowing dr dombrowski who we're about to talk to about has a whole lot more to say about this. they are to correspondent thank you so much x. but as fair and just pointed out the crown of us pandemic has certainly changed a lot of parts of society as we know it those changes have come quickly and in some cases might become permanent well one of those changes is a stall medicine so continuing our conversation on that you are joined by dr john dombrowski of the washington pain center of the us co-host and investigative journalist but one gentleman let's con

host: talk about the centers for medicare and medicaid end about the flexibility they are giving at this time to hospitals -- and about the flex ability they are giving at this time to hospitals. guest: they have done a lot in the past couple weeks. there are new areas that can basically function as hospitals, so health centers are under contract with all rooms -- with dorm rooms and centers where a lot of those elective procedures would normally take place and now function as hospitals. there are now new telemedicine guidelines. no longer does a patient and a doctor have to already have a relationship to begin a virtual visit. a doctor can start talking to a patient through their phone camera and talk to them about the needs they have, so they can get treatment without a patient having to go to a hospital or doctor's office and potentially expose themselves. that might just be a phone call for someone who might not have a capability to video visit. they want to free up all of the treatment that still needs to happen in some form, but should not be done in a clinical setting. host: first

single practitioner in a rural area and you have to try to work through all of that for medicare come up for medicaid, for various insurance programs -- medicare, for medicaid, for various insurance programs, the paperwork you are dealing with is overwhelming. most physicians do not have to deal with that because they have back office staff to take care of that sort of thing. one of the challenges, in addition to the lifestyle allow --s how do you how do you get people who are practicing medicine in rural areas to spend time actually engaged in working with patients rather than having to deal with and thehe paperwork other difficulties involved in -- involved? i understand we have had questions about why we have not focused on frontier communities. we should emphasize this is building on what we did in our earlier report a couple years ago. i think it has become at least two reports together that give us a cumbrian's view -- comprehensive view of our concern for rural health and proposals to address it. i think we need to look at it especially as we address frontier communities. >> i did want to make

medicare and medicaid have enough pressures that they may be more amenable. i will conclude by saying it really has been a great privilege to work with my task force members and the staff to produce this report. this moment is a thertunity to build on focused attention that we are seeing on the limitations of our health care systems and the opportunity to overcome barriers to access. in a much more efficient and effective way. there is a big appetite both now and into the future. you can feel it. people all around washington are focused on, how do we use experience tohis improve our health care delivery system? i know the bipartisan policy center will be involved in that process. i am very excited that this group on this screen will be a big part of that. >> i should take that opportunity to let folks know that we are launching a behavioral health integration task force where the group will be working to gather to break down barriers to integrating mental health and behavioral health services with primary care and physical health services. >> thank you. >> it

a 2017 report from the center for medicare and medicaid services shows that the average american paidore than twice the per capita average for health care than any other developed nation. >> there are a lot of problems in the health care system. it is way too expensive. part of the problem is prescription drugs are way too expensive, the cost of health care generally is a problem. >> according to a recent report from the organization for economic cooperation, development, americans on average spend about $1200 on prescription drugs in a single year, which is more than what is spent in any other developed nation. >> so why are these drugs so expensive? a big factor in the cost of these drugs is the arduous task of experimentation as well as clinical trials. >> well, when you think about why drugs cost so much and why innovative drugs cost that much, it really is the fact that the drug development cost is so expensive and so risky and unpredictable. the question about how drug prices are set is an interesting one in the united states. much of drug development is about failure. in other

guest: he was asking about the future of medicare and medicaid. was asking about the future of medicare and medicaid. it is a very interesting question and a very good question. , you know, there is cost toabout the entitlement programs. as i mentioned before, when we hit a recession, the cost of medicaid goes way up, and that is a cost to states and to the federal government to pay for those costs. medicaid is an entitlement program, which means we as a country, we are going to cover anybody who shows that they are eligible for that program. for medicare, you know, there is tanksarly talk from think and other experts that this is going to -- that covid-19 is going to put some pressure on the federal government. the way that medicare works, if you have fewer people working, those are fewer people that are paying medicare taxes. so their money goes into to pay for the people who are on medicare today. so that means that medicare will have less money, less cash to pay for those who are on medicare today. that be a problem for medicare? we are not su

and the promise that medicare and medicaid in our country owes to these people is a dignified life, ahy life, and a peaceful existence to their last days. sadly, this is not what's hatching. the time to have dealt with this, of course, is a few years ago, not in the middle of a crisis. and in 2016, in fact, president obama created regulations that we put through that were wholesale meant to address complete nursing home infection control, nursing home safety, overuse of antipsychotics, all these things. but sadly in 2017, the trump administration got rid of those regulations and just said that they were not going to enforce them. that's turned out to be, i think, the root of a lot of the challenge here. >> andy, in terms of trying to get our hands around this and not giving up on this and not deciding this is too hard to do, i mean it really does feel like an impossible problem because it feels like, as you said, a lot of these facilities are small. they're everywhere. there's nothing uniform in terms of the way care is provided or the way they are overseen. it feels like an overwhelm

johnson's medicare and medicaid offered some relief to vulnerable populations. but not until the obama administration did the federal government offer a fresh path to relieving the anxieties of those shut out of health insurance and the health insurance market. however, many issues remain. where are we now? how can history help us? the united states of america, the richest and most medically accomplished company on the globe, has still to solve many problems. the american population suffers from some of the highest health care costs on the planet. according to 2017 estimates, we spend 3.5 trillion dollars every year, around 17.9% of the gdp, and about 10,739 dollars per person each year in health care costs. but it is doubtful whether this high expenditure translates into health care outcomes. the commonwealth funds 2018 study of 11 countries, including australia, canada, france, germany, the netherlands, new zealand, norway, sweden, switzerland and uk found that the u.s. ranked last for health outcomes. equity and quality despite having the highest per capita h
