In the United States, employers finance health coverage for over 160 million Americans. Recently, the rise in rates for family, individual, and company-provided insurance has exceeded that of inflation. One of the significant costs faced by small businesses in Colorado and across the nation is that of providing health insurance to employees. The U.S. spends more on health care per capita than any other industrialized nation, yet still ranks low on quality.
Despite the soaring cost of company insurance, experts say that overall employers remain relatively passive about health and life insurance. Several industry and government officials are starting to complain that employers are not using their purchasing power to effect change. They argue that companies should more actively seek lower cost, high quality healthcare, and thereby exert important influence on industry rates and standards. However, companies like Intel - which spends almost 1 billion dollars on heath care – have “just been writing checks� says the chairman of Intel Corp., Craig Barrett.
As heath care reform has become one of the key topics in the upcoming election, employers’ passive attitude will gain more attention and business heath care costs will likely achieve a higher priority in company agendas.

One of the hottest topics in this year’s presidential election is health care reform and the impact that new policies will have upon health care for small businesses, families, and individuals. Colorado insurance providers and those throughout the nation have varying opinions about how the government should approach health insurance issues and democratic candidates proposals for universal coverage.

Voters across America and throughout Colorado have rated healthcare costs and health insurance coverage as a top priority in the presidential race. Republican candidate John McCain believes that the solution lies in creating greater competition in individual, family, and group health insurance markets. He calls for more choices to be available for individual and family health insurance coverage, and believes that this will help to drive down costs and give individuals more leverage in their decisions.
His stance could have significant impacts upon health insurance for small companies and groups in Colorado, as well as have implications for individual and family Colorado health insurance coverage. The Arizona Senator wants to foster competition in insurance markets by putting individuals in charge of their healthcare and insurance, and consequently reducing the current prevalence of employer based programs.
“Americans need options beyond those covered in employer-based programs. Americans want a system built so that wherever you go and wherever you work, your healthcare plan goes with you� said McCain while on a campaign this week to highlight his healthcare proposals.
Under McCain’s plan, individuals would receive a credit of $2,500 and families would receive $5,000. These credits are to be used to purchase insurance coverage independent from their employers; which could be cheaper than that provided through the predominately employer-based health and life insurance system in Colorado and throughout the U.S.A.
Both Democratic candidates have also set important goals that could have major effects for small heath insurance in Colorado. They propose universal health coverage for the 47 million uninsured Americans. McCain would not force anyone to leave their existing employer-based health insurance plan, but hopes that by decreasing reliance on government run programs, and encouraging competition in the market, his plan will drive down health insurance costs to individuals and businesses while ensuring the availability of high quality coverage.

The largest survey ever conducted of American physicians’ thoughts on healthcare financing revealed that nearly sixty percent of U.S. physicians support legislation to establish national health insurance. According to a 2007 survey appearing in the Annals of Internal Medicine, only thirty two percent of physicians oppose national health insurance. Meanwhile, the number of uninsured U.S. citizens has skyrocketed from 2.2 million to 47 million, representing the largest increase since 1992. Recipients of Colorado health and life insurance as well as other recipients across the nation, should be aware that twenty eight percent of the 5,000 physicians surveyed “strongly supported� national health insurance and thirty one percent “generally supported� it. Only seventeen percent “strongly opposed� and fifteen percent “generally opposed� a national insurance policy. In the near future, small business, family, and individual insurance may be impacted by this strong demonstration of physician support for a national insurance policy.

The cost of insurance for small companies has increased rapidly over the last few years. Small groups and businesses in Colorado and throughout the rest of the nation are feeling intense financial pressure from growing health and life insurance premiums. In fact, small companies with an average of ten employees have seen rates jump twice as fast as inflation. Small companies have been proportionately more affected by these growing costs than larger companies. According to a study conducted by the non-profit research group, Commonwealth Fund, employees of small companies and groups pay 18 percent more for their health and life insurance than employees of large firms. Accounting for 80% of total U.S. employment, America’s small companies are responding to such burgeoning insurance prices by urging political action. Voicing their concern through influential groups such as the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), many small business owners declare healthcare to be their number one voting issue for the 2008 election. And the candidates are listening. . .
All the presidential contenders have acknowledged small business heath insurance as an important issue. A number of solutions are being explored such as requiring individuals to be responsible for their individual and family insurance, and letting small businesses pool together their resources to gain leverage with insurance providers. New York Senator Hillary Clinton proposes an exception for small businesses regarding their obligation to provide funding for employee health and life insurance.
Regardless of what option is chosen, the small business sector will have an important influence in the upcoming election - and upon the future of insurance for individuals and families in Colorado and throughout America.

Flipping through the news channels you are certainly bound to hear these four letters at least once and their frightening connotation—“the unbeatable bug�! Well, how better to beat the unbeatable bug than to narrow down its origin, for as most have learned, if you know the problem, you can solve it! Geneticists and researchers alike, in attempting to understand the means to properly remedy the outbreak of MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which has increased over the past five years, have made an important discovery: the deadly strain of staph infection roots from a singular, rapidly developing bacterium.

The most daunting aspect of this super bug, resistant to virtually all antibiotics, is the fact that its contraction is no longer isolated to the stark, white halls of a hospital. MRSA, as of late, has become spotted throughout all levels of schooling, prisons, locker rooms and various other unexpected locations, which means the infection is attacking the general public in areas not necessarily prepared to deal with an outbreak.

So, while the scientists are doing their part to isolate the culprit and synthesize ingenious ways to spar with the unbeatable bug, what shall you do? The following recommendations certainly do not fully protect you and your family from the risks of contraction, however these suggestions certainly can help—wash your hands, be it with antibacterial soap or sanitizer and at the first sign of danger, be quick to visit a physician or emergency facility.

And of course, here at Elite Health and Life Insurance Services, we are always happy to help with any of your Colorado health insurance concerns and questions.

When most people think “staph� infection, the thought is almost never followed by “deadly�, however, MRSA has been proving us all wrong! According to statistics, nearly one out of five individuals stricken by methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus died in the past two years, which is bringing to light the importance of tackling such an infection, for good! And that is where SaniGuard, a product by the Component Hardware Group, CHG, comes in, with its superb line of “dry on contact� hand disinfectants, antiseptic sprays and far more, to keep you safe this cold, flu and evidently MRSA season. From schools to businesses around the country, SaniGuard has been stocked up and handed out in order to properly protect the community and combat the chances of being infected.

Here at Elite Insurance Group, your health is of vital importance to us, thus we strongly urge you to sanitize properly, and if in need of more information, please visit your primary physician.

The Affiliated Computer Services Inc. (ACS) has recently provided funding, 3.9 million to be specific, through an extended year contract with Colorado’s Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), which would aid in support the program that provides children, 18 and under with and 200% below the United States’ poverty line, with adequate health insurance. ACS’ funding program initially commenced in 2003 and has been extended every year, due to the fact that they find it of utmost importance to ensure that each child whose parents do not have the means or access to health care is able to be properly taken care of under CHP+. Funding aside, ACS also has a distinct purpose, namely in the administration of the website, monitoring eligibility requirements and application processing, as well as the program’s management of grievances and petitions.

ACS is well versed in the general protocol of government healthcare programs’ administration and thus the extension of the contract is comforting to Coloradan politicians and citizens alike.

This 2008 presidential election, it appears one of the largest issues candidates already have or should have on their agenda is healthcare and the potential “universalization” of the issue.  The issue is gaining prominence and importance throughout the states, including Colorado, California, Pennsylvania and other states spanning the country.  The subject has been particularly reinforced by Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania who has become completely exasperated by the exponentially escalating numbers of uninsured adults in the United States.  His emphasis is placed upon the adult population due to the fact that Rendell views the issue of infant and child healthcare to be quite separate and disparate. The governor’s groundbreaking proposal is that individuals shall have the capacity purchase “state-sponsored healthcare” from private insurers at prices as low as $280.00 a month.  Such ambitious a goal would be achieved through increased taxes upon “smokeless” tobacco, cigarette purchases and cigars.

Now, of central importance to the argument is whether constituents truly understand that which universalized healthcare entails, namely a government run healthcare program quite similarly modeled to Kaiser. Each option, be it socialized medicine or the program we currently have installed, have their advantages and disadvantages, and thus it is up to the citizens of this country to decide that which suits their needs best.
