Braun reintroduces healthcare transparency bills

0

U.S. Senator Mike Braun has reintroduced his Drug Price Transparency Act and Health Care PRICE Transparency Act.

“As one of the leading voices on Capitol Hill for healthcare reform, I am proud to put forth much needed solutions to address rising prices and access challenges in several sectors of the health care industry,” said U.S. Senator Mike Braun. “These solutions will bring transparency to the healthcare system and in turn create more competition and drive down health care costs for Americans. Knowing the cost of health care will empower Americans to shop for the services best suited to their needs.

BACKGROUND:

Drug Price Transparency Act

Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) act as middlemen between drug manufacturers and patients to administer prescription drug benefits and negotiate price concessions (or rebates). The current system allows for PBMs and insurers to retain rebates that should be passed along to patients. PBMs are pocketing an undisclosed portion of rebates, causing drug manufactures to raise prices to account for PBMs’ growing rebate retention. These misaligned industry incentives and opaque pricing maneuvers implemented by PMBs force patients to shoulder the burden of increasing drug prices.

This legislation would require insurers and PBMs to pass rebates directly to consumers enrolled in commercial health plans and Medicare Part D, which incorporates HHS’s Rebate Rule, finalized last year. This legislation would establish two new requirements to qualify for safe harbor for rebates: one for rebates which are passed on to patients at the point of sale, and the other for flat service fee payments made to PBMs, which cannot be tied to the list price of drugs. The intent of this legislation is to pass rebates directly to patients, which will allow drug manufacturers to lower list prices. This legislation would lower out-of-pocket payments for patients, lower prescription drug list prices, and increase drug price transparency.

Health Care PRICE Transparency Act

Hospitals and insurers have long taken advantage of the health care industry’s misaligned incentives that promote opaque pricing maneuvers over transparency to increase their profits at the expense of Americans. Increased price transparency would empower patients to make informed decisions to choose the health care that is best for them, as well as increase competition among all hospitals, group health plans, and insurance issuers in the individual and group markets to lower the cost and improve the quality of health care services.

The Health Care PRICE Transparency Act would codify two U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) final rules, Hospital Price Transparency and Transparency in Coverage. The Hospital Price Transparency rule would require hospitals to disclose standard charges, the cost of an item or service set by the hospital, for a total of 300 shoppable services.  In order for a hospital to participate in Medicare, it must establish and maintain an internet-based price estimator, free of charge and without subscription. This tool would allow health care consumers to receive an estimate of the costs they will be responsible for paying to a hospital for a shoppable service. Under this legislation, hospitals that fail to comply with price transparency requirements will be penalized $300 per day, until the violation is resolved.

Additionally, this legislation would codify HHS’s Transparency in Coverage rule, which requires insurers to provide consumers with real-time, personalized access to cost-sharing information in order to shop and compare costs between specific providers, before receiving care. This legislation would require health plans seeking certification as qualified health plans to disclose in-network provider rates, out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges, negotiated rates, and historical net prices for a covered prescription drug. Additionally, insurers would be required to establish and maintain an internet-based self-service tool to provide information to an individual, free of charge and without subscription, to allow individuals to search for cost-sharing information by a specific in-network provider or by all in-network providers, as well as an out-of-network allowed amount.  It would also allows individuals to refine and reorder search results based on geographic proximity of in-network providers and the amount of the individual’s cost-sharing liability for a covered item or service.

Jim Morris To Receive 2021 Sachem Award

0

Gov. Eric J. Holcomb will honor civic leader James T. Morris of Indianapolis with the 2021 Sachem Award, the state’s highest honor, at a ceremony Friday, June 25.

“Jim Morris has lived an extraordinary life with a constant focus on serving mankind at home and abroad. While his efforts began in Indianapolis by transforming our state’s capital city profile to advance sports, citizenship and public service, his deep devotion to servant leadership later called him around the world,” Gov. Holcomb said. “At every station throughout life, Jim has remained a model of loyalty to family, faith, vocation and friends. His philanthropy and heart for improving the human experience, especially the lives of disadvantaged children in our state and on different continents has in turn inspired a countless army of those who seek to create positive generational change. For this reason alone and so many others, I look forward to honoring Mr. Morris as the best among us with Indiana’s highest recognition.”

The Sachem is given annually to recognize a lifetime of excellence and moral virtue that has brought credit and honor to Indiana. Previous recipients include Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor (2017), Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, president emeritus of the University of Notre Dame and world statesman (2006), and long-time businessman and civic leader P.E. MacAllister (2014). Morris is the fifth Sachem honoree named by Gov. Holcomb.

Morris, 78, is vice chairman of Pacers Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever. He is also an Indiana University Board of Trustees member and the U.S. permanent representative to the UNICEF executive board.

Morris has made an impact on Indiana and the world for much of his professional life. Most notably, Morris served as executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme from 2002-2007 in Rome, Italy. As the world’s largest humanitarian agency, the World Food Programme works to fight hunger and enhance nutrition for the poor. During his leadership, Morris visited with numerous heads of state throughout more than 80 countries and addressed numerous international meetings to discuss ways of reducing hunger and continuing his tireless campaign on behalf of the hungry poor, especially children.

During his time at the World Food Programme, Morris served as the UN Security General’s Special Envoy for Southern Africa, leading an effort to bring UN and humanitarian agencies together to address issues, including food insecurity and HIV/AIDS in Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Mozambique. The effort affected more than 15 million people, especially women and children and was the impetus for significant reform at the UN.

Closer to home, Morris has worked tirelessly to make Indiana better through his leadership in the corporate, nonprofit and government sectors. For nearly 10 years, Morris has served in various leadership roles at Pacers Sports & Entertainment, which annually brings two million people to Indianapolis and hosts more than 500 events. In addition, he previously was president of Lilly Endowment Inc., one of the world’s largest private philanthropic foundations, chairman and CEO of IWC Resources Corporation and Indianapolis Water Company, and chief of staff for former Indianapolis Mayor Richard G. Lugar.

Morris has made a difference in the lives of others by serving in volunteer leadership roles at several Indiana institutions and organizations, including United Way of Central Indiana, Indiana Sports Corporation, Indiana State and Indianapolis Chambers of Commerce, Indiana Youth Institute, Gleaners Food Bank, and Indianapolis Urban League, among many others. Similarly, he has been involved on the national level with several nonprofit organizations, including American Red Cross, YWCA, Boy Scouts of America and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, to name a few.

Morris has received numerous honors and awards. They include Indiana University’s President’s Medal for Excellence, Michael A. Carroll Award for Outstanding Community Service, Indiana Black Expo’s Spirit of Freedom Award, and multiple honorary doctorates from several Indiana colleges and universities.

A native of Terre Haute, Morris is married to Jacqueline and has three children and eight grandchildren.

Sachem (Say-chum) background:

In 1970, Gov. Edgar D. Whitcomb introduced the Sachems, a group of business, industry, publishing, banking and legal leaders, who served as state hosts, welcoming visitors to Indiana and promoting the state’s culture and economy. The organization’s name came from the Algonquin term applied to village leaders, implying wisdom, judgment and grace.

Following Whitcomb’s term, the Sachem project was not pursued, and the organization dissolved in 1989. Whitcomb visited Gov. Daniels in 2005 to acquaint him with the concept. Gov. Daniels recreated the Sachem to underscore the importance of moral example; achievement alone without exemplary virtue does not qualify a person for this recognition.

Sixteen Sachem awards have been bestowed since the honor was revived in 2005:

2005: John Wooden—Legendary college basketball coach, teacher and mentor

2006: Rev. Theodore Hesburgh—Former president of the University of Notre Dame and world statesman

2007: Jane Blaffer Owen—Philanthropist and preservationist of New Harmony

2008: Bill and Gloria Gaither—Grammy winning singer/songwriter duo from Alexandria, Indiana

2009: Donald C. “Danny” Danielson—New Castle business and civic leader

2010: Carl D. Erskine—Civic leader and legendary baseball player

2011: William A. “Bill” Cook—Philanthropist and cofounder of Cook Inc.

2012: Ian M. Rolland—CEO of Lincoln National Corp.

2013: Don Wolf—Civic leader and CEO of Do It Best, Corp.

2014: P.E. MacAllister—Long-time businessman and civic leader

2015: Amos C. Brown, III—Radio host and civic leader

2016: None

2017: Eva Mozes Kor—Holocaust survivor; forgiveness and civility advocate

2018: Sammy L. Davis—Vietnam veteran, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient

2019: Dr. George Rapp—Humanitarian

2020: Reginald O. Jones, Sr. —Businessman, community leader and mentor

Each Sachem honoree receives a specially designed sculpture. All Sachem recipients are selected by Indiana’s governor.

Yesteryear: Here Comes the National Road

May 2 – May 8

The Week in Indiana History
US 40

1829     Construction of the National Road entered Indiana at Richmond on the eastern edge of the state.  It would be five years before the road reached the western edge at Terre Haute.  Now known as U. S. 40, the thoroughfare played a major role in the development of the state and nation.
Robert Lincoln

1865     Robert Lincoln, his mother Mary Todd Lincoln, and his brother Thomas (Tad) Lincoln passed through Lafayette.  They were on their way to Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln was to be buried.  The body of the fallen President was traveling from Washington on a special funeral train.  Pictured:  Robert Lincoln
prop1892     The Executive Committee of the Local Council of Women met for the first time at the Propylaeum in Indianapolis (pictured.)  The organization was created to provide a forum for women’s clubs engaged in civic reform.  Among the issues were women’s suffrage, public sanitation, and child labor.  In 1926, the name of the Local Council was changed to the Indianapolis Council of Women.
jail

100 YEARS AGO

1921     One guard was killed and two inmates injured in an escape attempt at the Jeffersonville Reformatory.  Six prisoners, who had recently been denied pardons, killed guard John H. Grimm and broke out of their cells.  They waged a 90-minute gun battle with guards and police before surrendering.  Much credit was given to Harry Goldman, a trusty who helped foil the escape plan and alerted the guards.
bread1955     Shoppers in Indianapolis, Muncie, Greensburg, and other cities were enjoying a bread price war.  Sliced bread, which had been 21-cents a loaf, was dropped to 15-cents by the Continental Baking Company.  Almost immediately, the makers of Colonial Bread, Taystee Bread, and Yum Yum Bread matched the 15-cent charge.  The price war was evidently started when Standard Groceries and A&P stores offered their bread at 17-cents.
walkers

50 YEARS AGO

1971     Thousands of teens across Indiana participated in a “Hunger Walk.”  The event, sponsored by the American Freedom from Hunger Foundation, took place in 20 Hoosier cities.  Participants in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Muncie and other cities carried a variety of signs urging fellow citizens to donate to the campaign.  One sign said, “Don’t Scrooge Me – Feed Me.”  The routes covered large areas of the cities involved. Some teens in Indianapolis walked 27 miles.

“The highways of America are built chiefly of politics, whereas the proper material is crushed rock or concrete.”

– – – Carl Fisher (1874-1939)

Born in Greensburg, Carl Fisher was a life-long entrepreneur who owned one of the first automobile dealerships, helped build the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and took a swamp in Florida and developed it into Miami Beach.

Did You Know?

     WONDER BREAD, one of the most famous food products of the 20th century, had its origins in Indianapolis.  In 1921, the Taggart Baking Company, already locally famous for its bread, pastries, and butter crackers, invested heavily in new bread-making equipment.  Their aim was to produce a larger loaf with smoother, more even texture and softer crust.  While developing the new product, company vice president Elmer Cline attended the International Balloon Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  The sight of the huge, colorful hot-air balloons rising into the sky filled Cline with wonder.  He realized at that moment that he had a name for the “wonderful” new bread.

BASEBALL VS FOOTBALL

BASEBALL VS FOOTBALL

GAVEL GAMUT By Jim Redwine

“If a woman’s just a woman but a good cigar’s a smoke” (Rudyard Kipling), football’s just a game but baseball’s who we are. Or, as my friend and favorite songwriter, Randy Pease, sang about baseball (and life), “Maybe I should quit but that’s a hard thing to admit, God, I love this game.” Randy honed his musical skills when he took a break from his studies at Oklahoma State University where I also found pursuits other than the prescribed curricula. Another Cowboy that Randy occasionally played guitars and sang within Stillwater, Oklahoma was a songwriter named Garth Brooks who also loved baseball. I wonder if he ever made the big leagues? For as Garth, Randy, and the rest of us frustrated would-be major leaguers eventually accept, and as the protagonist in Randy’s song knows, “our playing days are numbered and our fastball’s lost some speed” but we aren’t quite ready to “hang up the cleats and mitt.” On the other hand, most of us, not Tom Brady of course, have no angst about leaving the sweaty football pads hanging in the dank locker room while we are still a ways from our porch swings.

Baseball is not just America’s Past Time it is America. It is a grimy catcher’s mask and miraculous or stumbling catches in left-center field. It is come from behind in the bottom of the ninth and lessons learned from games that should have been won. It is sweat and spit and grief and grit and all that makes us glad to endure heat and aches. Boys and girls and men and women of all ages can and do play baseball and softball; not so much football once high school fades.

Baseball affords fathers and mothers a parent’s greatest satisfaction, being asked by their adult children for advice. No kid over fourteen seeks football insights from their folks but even aging children who may question a parent’s sanity on matters of politics, music, or religion still occasionally rely on mom and dad on how to hit a softball or play old folk’s league shortstop. As a parent slowly rocks and questions decisions she or he once made, when their grown offspring return to ask the best way to use a pinch hitter the cobwebs seem less opaque. On the other hand, no post-teenager cares what a parent thinks about a statue-of-liberty or a flea-flicker trick football play.

So, we can continue to pretend we understand football’s pass defense coverage two and can continue to yearn for our adult children to ask us to explain it and other football errata or we can thank baseball for keeping us in the real game. But I’ll let Randy finish the column because he is a fine writer of both prose and song lyrics:

“Although the song is on the surface about baseball, it’s really about life and how we should love our lives even when it beats the crap out of us nearly every day. In baseball, even the best hitters get on base only three times out of ten. Such is life. It’s full of disappointments and heartbreaks. But there’s always that hope the next at-bat you’ll knock the ball out of the park. And baseball is a sign of spring – new grass, new life, renewal, redemption. It represents the hope that comes with a new season. And it poses a tough question: Can I still play or is it time to hang up the cleats and mitt?”

Lyrics to “I Love This Game”

♫ My name is Eddie Roberts, and I’m a starting pitcher

For the Winston-Salem Warthogs in the Carolina League.

I’m thirty-four years old.  My playing days are numbered.

I can’t control my curveball, and my fastball’s lost some speed.

I’ve been knockin’ ‘round the minors since I got out of high school,

signed my first pro contract on my seventeenth birthday.

From Burlington to Birmingham to Charlotte I have traveled,

But the White Sox never called, and I stalled in Triple-A.

Chorus

I love this game.  I love this game.

Maybe I should quit, but that’s a hard thing to admit.

God, I love this game.

I won fourteen games one year, led the league in shutouts.

Several of the pro scouts told me I was on my way.

But I hurt my arm in Lynchburg.  Doc said it was a pinched nerve.

And I swear that ever since, sir, it’s never been the same.

Chorus

I love this game, I love this game.

Maybe I should quit, but that’s a hard thing to admit.

God, I love this game

Coda

Maybe I should quit.  Hang up the cleats and mitt.

God, I love this game.

My name is Eddie Roberts, and I’m a starting pitcher

For the Winston-Salem Warthogs in the Carolina League. ♫

PSA Fentanyl Overdose Death

0

 The Evansville Police Department’s Detective Office would like to make the public aware of a possible misidentification of a narcotic drug. While investigating a recent overdose death they discovered that the deceased person might have confused oxycodone with a lethal dose of fentanyl. 

Not only are these types of deaths occurring in Evansville, but throughout the country as well. Too many people are potentially confusing these drugs and dying at an alarming rate. 

To avoid any confusion, these are all illegal street drugs we are talking about. They might be sold as one thing, but are entirely different. 

Our narcotics detectives have seen a recent spike in the fentanyl pills in our area. Most of them are blue, but some white pills have been turning up as well. The pills are marked with an “M” within a block on one side and the number “30” on the other. 

They are commonly called “M Blocks” and “M 30s” on the street. Pictures of these narcotics have been provided. 

The bottom line is, it’s not a good idea to take pills from an unknown source and without a prescription. People need to be certain they are getting pills and medication from legitimate pharmacies/sources.

 Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call the Evansville Police Detective Office (812) 436-7979 or the tip line (812) 435-6194

Softball set for final regular season home weekend

0

Aces face Bradley in 3-game series

With the Missouri Valley Conference Championship under two weeks away, the University of Evansville softball team is set to play its final home weekend of the regular season, welcoming Bradley to Cooper Stadium this weekend.

 

Setting the Scene

– A noon doubleheader gets things started on Saturday before the final game takes place on Sunday at 11 a.m….ESPN 3 will have the broadcast of the first two games

– Following Saturday’s doubleheader, the seven seniors on the team will be recognized…that group includes Mea Adams, Allison Daggett, Halie Fain, Eryn Gould, Katie McLean, Jaime Nurrenbern and Lindsay Renneisen

 

Last Time Out

– Playing its first extra inning game of the season, the Purple Aces outlasted Indiana State, taking a 7-5 win in Terre Haute on Tuesday

– Katie McLean was the hero, belting a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth to score Eryn Gould, who walked for the fourth time in the game

– Gould’s four walks was two shy of the all-time NCAA single game mark of six

– McLean led UE with three RBI while Jessica Fehr matched McLean’s 2-hit effort

– Throwing the final five innings of relief, Izzy Vetter picked up her 11th win of the year

 

One of the Best

– Eryn Gould drew a career-high four walks on Tuesday at Indiana State to improve her on-base percentage to .567, which is 14th in the nation

– Her career walk tally stands at 92, which is third in the UE record book and just five away from tying Nicole Farris’ program mark

– Over the weekend, she recorded her 100th at-bat, which made her eligible for UE’s single season marks…her current batting average of .429 is on pace to break the program mark that Staci Hatz set in 1998 when she batted .408…Hatz was the only player in program history to finish a season batting over .400…Gould also has an on-base percentage of .567, which is also on pace for the program mark…Brittany Herald currently holds the UE record of .511, which she accomplished in 2007

– Her average is currently one of the top 11 in Missouri Valley Conference history

– Her .567 on-base tally ranks 14th in the country while her average is 42nd…she has reached base safely in 34 out of 38 games this season and has gotten even better in MVC games – reaching base 60.9% of the time…between March 20 and 28, Gould reached base in 21 out of 26 plate appearances – a rate of 80.7%

 

Finishing on a High Note

– Senior Katie McLean is putting up some of her best numbers as her career at UE comes to a close…over the last six games, McLean has put up three multi-hit efforts while picking up a hit in 7 of her last 18 at-bats

– Three of her five career home runs have come this season with two being in the last five games
