Race, Trust and Police Legitimacy | National Institute of Justice - 0 views

  •  
    Minorities have a lower approval rating of law enforcement than non-minorities, as minorities feel they are often singled out. The understanding and acceptance of the minority experience is tantamount to improving relations between law enforcement and the public they serve. It is interesting to note that race is only one of several factors to consider in how law enforcement is viewed by a particular community.

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.
  • ...30 more annotations...
  •  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.

  • incentive for people to relapse so they can obtain another round of coverage.

Lawmakers in Ten States Have Proposed Legislation Criminalizing Peaceful Protest - 3 views

  •  
    The right to protest has been a major point of freedom for the US. It's a fundamental right written in the constitution. Now lawmakers are trying to take away that freedom by making it illegal to protest.

    I hope more citizens read this article and understand its implications. The core of our rights are being challenged. Without our citizens ability to organize and speak out against policies the our legislators enact we are heading into a direction of totalitarianism. We the people hold the power. Vote.
  •  
    The real problem is the groups that are vandalizing and rioting, and then claiming it is their right. Because of these people, these states are trying to do something that should never even be a thought. Basic human rights shall never be taken by Americans as long as we don't allow it. @albertskarsten you are absolutely right " We the people hold the power"
  •  
    The right to peaceful protest should never be taken from the American people. I do not condone the violence and rioting that occurs, and laws pertaining to that are pertinent, but not peaceful protest. So many things have been accomplished because of these types of protests in our history. As a woman I would not be participating in this class if it weren't for the people brave enough to protest for equality. It is a travesty that government officials, who should know and understand the rights given to the us in the Constitution, would bring about legislation to override said rights.

Breastfeeding in Public - 1 views

  •  
    Women who breastfeed their children have the right to breastfeed in public. Some states like California protect their right to not be harrassed while doing so. Other states don't have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers right to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding is shamed on but when breast are seen everywhere else nothing is said.

    As a mother who breastfed all four of my children where ever they were hungry, I would shame those who thought they could shame me. My children, my whole family in fact all ages whether they breastfed or not have a respect for a womans body especially when it comes to feeding a child. My kids do not stare or point out or act like its gross when they see a mom feeding her baby. People all around the world whether they breastfeed or not need to teach their kids to respect nature. This way in the future mothers will no longer be shamed when trying to feed their babies.
  •  
    Its so annoying that people feel like breast feeding a child in public is wrong. This is a natural thing, its a part of life. People just need to grow up and stop seeing it as sexual exposure. Its a beautiful bond between a mother and child.
  •  
    Breastfeeding is one of the most amazing things women body can do. Our society make it seen like a sexual act....Breast milk is the first healthy food for babies when they are growing up. In hospital, nurses invite patients to breastfeed their newborn because that is the best food for babies.
  •  
    It is one of the most important things to do for a child. I find it disturbing that some people go off on them and say that it looks gross. People have a problem with it because they think they are exposing themselves, They kind of are but they have a reason to do it which is for breast feeding. What would they do if they had a child and had to breast feed? I think they might change their mind a little bit.
  •  
    It really irritates me when I hear that people are so against breast feeding in public. The whole point of it is to feed the baby and give it nourishment that the baby will not get from formula. I am sure the mother does not do it with intentions to expose themselves. Sometimes what needs to be done as to be done and people must deal with it.

Our right to privacy - 1 views

  •  
    An agent from NSA was invading peoples privacy. He was watching peoples personal accounts such as emails. Other companies are also involved in watching peoples privacy. The judge of the case wants to keep a balance with the personal lives of American citizens.
  •  
    I agree that people most definitely have the right to privacy. Although, I think that if someone commits a serious crime, they should certainly be investigated.
  •  
    Privacy is important. I agree that if someone breaks the law that they should lose their privacy in order to find out more about them.

Teenagers, social media, and terrorism: a threat level hard to assess - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses the controversy between freedom of speech and preventing terrorism. A high school students Facebook comments put him in court.
  •  
    It's nice to see how serious our law enforcement agencies are taking this. I'm all for making an example out of this kid. However, I'm not sure if 20 years is the answer either. If anything the kid needs some help, not a third of his life behind bars. Of course I can't share a definite observation, and opinion on the matter because I haven't listen to the video. Again, either way the security of our nation and its people is and should be highest priority.
