      How can a child succeed in a school setting when they don't know how to ask for help when they really need it? Their trauma sets them up for failure because they have to be so self reliant at home
  • One of the challenges in giving that support is that when kids misbehave, our schools often use disciplinary systems that involve withdrawing attention and support, rather than addressing their problems

      this re-enforces their idea of being alone doesn't it?
  • They need coaching and practice at de-escalating when they feel overwhelmed

Health Net lawsuit reveals the financial engine of drug rehab industry - 0 views

  • The only "Obamacare" health insurer in metro Phoenix and Pima County is ensnared in a legal dispute with several addiction treatment centers over the cost of care amid an Arizona opioid epidemic that is taking an average of two lives each day. 
  • Maricopa County Superior Court lawsuit
  • widespread fraud among Arizona and California drug rehab centers in 2015 and 2016, when it alleges"teams of brokers" recruited out-of-state clients to fraudulently obtain insurance policies and to seek treatment in Arizona.

  •  residential “sober homes”
  • headaches for local government officials as they try to determine how to manage the unregulated industry.
  • Prescott, which once claimed more than 100 sober homes, has adopted regulations to provide more oversight of them.
  • Federal and state prosecutors have aggressively pursued cases in Florida and California in connection with fraudulent activities such as patient brokering.
  • There have been no criminal cases filed in Arizona, however. 
  • Six of the rehab facilities that accuse Health Net of improperly withholding payments are in Prescott: Chapter 5 Counseling, Prescott House, Compass Recovery Center, Clean Adventures of Sober Living, Decision Point Center and Carleton Recovery Centers.
  • Three others, T R U Recovery Solutions, North Ridge Counseling and Desert Cove Recovery, list Scottsdale addresses. 
  • The rehab facilities allege that Health Net improperly withheld payments to virtually every rehab center in Arizona and southern California beginning in January 2016. Health Net halted the payments as part of an investigative audit that demanded each center provide detailed records such as proof of patients' residency and assurances that patients did not receive incentives to sign up for rehab. 
  • Health Net said in court documents that claims filed by rehab centers in Arizona soared because of widespread fraud
  • Health Net's PPO plans paid $2.4 million to all Arizona rehab centers in 2014. Those payments soared to $47.4 million in 2015
  • Those plans paid more for rehab care that year than all other types of care in Arizona, including typically expensive medical care such as cancer, heart disease and child births, according to the insurer’s counterclaim.
  • Here’s how the fraud worked, the insurer said in its counterclaim:Brokers would scout out people in 12-step programs, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, homeless shelters and jails, then refer these clients to the “highest-bidding clinic.”Clinics that were not part of the insurer’s network paid clients’ insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs such as deductibles and co-payments.The result was that people secured Health Net coverage “arranged and bought for them by financially-interested providers for one purpose only: to obtain coverage for the limited time needed to rack up millions of dollars in substance abuse treatment.” Some clinics misrepresented the home addresses of patients, many of whom lived out of state. 
  • “a sophisticated fraud involving the fraudulent enrollment of non-Arizona residents,” who signed up for Arizona insurance policies. 
  • misrepresenting their home address
  • Clean Adventures staff member told him to list the rehab facility's address on his insurance application.
  • put him in contact with an insurance agent who suggested using Clean Adventures' address on his insurance application
  • The insurer named 10 other examples of people who lived in California, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee and Wisconsin but represented that they lived in Prescott or Scottsdale.
  • The insurer also said the rehab centers engaged in fraudulent billing, charging for services that were not medically necessary or in amounts that exceeded what the plan allowed.
  • A 2008 law called the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Act requires insurance plans to provide equitable coverage for substance abuse and addiction treatment. The Affordable Care Act also requires health insurance plans cover essential health benefits, including behavioral health services, and it forbids insurers from denying coverage to individuals based on existing medical conditions. 
  • The unintended consequence was (some) addiction treatments centers began taking advantage of that and over-billing," said Angie Geren, executive director of Addiction Haven, a grassroots and advocacy organization focusing on addiction issues. 
  • House Bill 2333
  • curb the practice of paying referral fees to brokers who steer patients to rehab centers.
  • bill never made it out of committee.
  • Florida
  • "The scam starts with deceptive advertising at the beginning," Aronberg said. "You are lured down to sunny Florida with a free plane ticket, which is illegal. You are given illegal benefits to keep you there."
  • patients often find themselves booted from treatment when their insurance benefits run out.
  • incentive for people to relapse so they can obtain another round of coverage.
  • Sober Home Task Force targeting the practice of buying and selling patients battling addiction
  • Johnson said rehab centers that provide legitimate services are being harmed as insurance companies scrutinize payments and bad actors poach patients away.

The politics of welfare - 0 views

  •  
    On the surface, conservatism and Christian democratic thought are quite similar with regard to social welfare, but there is one key difference.  Following the Catholic teachings, Christian Democrats believe that the responsibility of taking care of the poor and needy lies with the community, not the government.  Both groups feel that lawfulness and stability are highly important, but they have very different approaches to achieve these goals.

JFK Truth - 0 views

  •  
    Beyond conspiracy and theories there are facts. Facts like classified documents on Kennedy's assassination. Not to say all the conspiracy theorists are right, but why are there so many documents the government won't release. It's been 50 years since his death and for some reason the president thinks there should still be some secrets

    I think that it was a good thing that they found out about these emails being sent. In some ways I think that I was wrong for them to go into her emails because that shows that the government will invade anyone's privacy.
  •  
    I think that this was a necessary action to take, this could be out next president. It's unfortunate that these things are being lied about and covered up.
  •  
    I think this is a pertinent piece of information about a possible presidential candidate. Why would she use her private e-mail when she knows that it's violates governmental regulation and then delete those e-mails? I think she is too skilled of a politician with something to hide. There is more to Hillary than meets the eye.

Racist Arizona Law - 4 views

  •  
    The state that brought you the chain-gang enforcing Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, the "show me your papers" immigration law, and racial profiling is proud to present its latest hit: a law prohibiting sex and raced-based abortion, based on lies and stereotypes about black and Asian women. The woman and doctor must also sign an affidavit stating the reason the woman wants an abortion has nothing to do with the race or sex of the embryo or fetus.
  •  
    Wow, I honestly had no idea this was going on. The law prohibits abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus or embryo, This is an extreme injustice! I can't believe we still face this kind of inequality.

Craigslist Babies - 7 views

  •  
    I can not believe that people really place ads on Craigslist pretty much giving away or selling their children like pets. This article shows real ads that were placed to basically get rid of their children just the same as one would sell a dresser. Not only does this actually happen it is LEGAL!

    This insane and wrong! I cannot believe this actually happens. How can you give your child to a random person with out getting a professional background check. This article blows my mind.
  •  
    Just reading the title of this article made me cringe however, after reading the details, some of the proponents viewpoints made sense. They pointed out when adoptive parents post ads on Craigslist it is considered networking but when a mother posts her ad looking for these adoptive parents it is viewed as baby selling. My personal opinion is that it is sad; hopefully for our society, this does not become the norm.
  •  
    As mentioned by Jacob, ^ the points mentioned in the article do make sense; however, I believe that the issue lies within the fact that people are profiting by giving away a life and that it is a site that can be accessed by anyone with internet access, creating a major safety hazard. It is tragic to see that these things exist and it definitely ought to be addressed and stopped immediately.
  •  
    Placing an add for adoption on craigslist sounds extremely unsafe. I really cannot understand how it is legal. I understand making a choice of adoption but craigslist of all places?
  •  
    This is just insane. It's unbelievable how something like this can be legal. Kids aren't pets or an object to be selling or giving away in a website. Although, towards the end of the article it does make a valid point, what makes us think that it's right for agencies to profit and make money out of these adoptions?
  •  
    I didn't know this was real until I met someone that sold their child to a family in Italy. I can't imagine selling my kids. What is even more sad is that these people don't even know if their baby is really being cared for or placed in sex trafficking or the black market for some sickos.
