Burke attacks Scott Walker on jobs in new ad
Madison -- Democrat Mary Burke launched a new ad Friday going after GOP Gov. Scott Walker on recent job losses.
"When it comes to jobs, Scott Walker's top-down approach just isn't working," says the ad, which notes Walker has fallen short of his pledge to create 250,000 jobs in his first term.
In response, Walker spokeswoman Alleigh Marré noted Wisconsin has created 100,000 jobs and seen its unemployment rate drop during Walker's time in office.
"Mary Burke's campaign strategy seems to be to belittle Wisconsin's economic comeback," Marré said in a statement.
Here's Burke's ad:

Active coherent beam combining of laser oscillators is an attractive way to achieve high output power in a diffraction limited beam. Here we describe an active beam combining system used to coherently combine 21 semiconductor laser elements with an 81% beam combining efficiency in an external cavity configuration compared with an upper limit of 90% efficiency in the particular configuration of the experiment. Our beam combining system utilizes a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm for active phase control. This work demonstrates that active beam combining is not subject to the scaling limits imposed on passive-phasing systems.

Investors who buy stock in a business rely on the company's growth to create value and make their investments grow. This is the case whether an investor buys preferred stock or common stock. Although accounting for each type of stock is similar, some key differences affect how investors value and pay taxes on their stock-related income.
General Accounting
In terms of general personal accounting, there is very little difference between buying preferred stock and common stock. In each case the stock becomes a personal asset based on its current value. Stock is a marketable security because it is easily convertible to cash, which is important to investors who also run businesses and need access to cash to meet their expenses. With each type of stock, investors can deduct their investment expenses from their taxable income. This includes the cost of tax management or personal accounting software.
Cost Basis
When investors sell common or preferred stock, they must pay taxes on their capital gains, which are profits from the sale. Capital gains on common and preferred stock sales equal the sale price minus the cost basis. Although the sale price is easy to determine (it's the amount the seller receives), determining cost basis is more complex. The same process applies for both common and preferred stock. Investors add the purchase price of stock to any expenses related to acquiring it, such as a broker's fees and consultation charges. An investor who pays a broker's premium for early access to preferred stock when a company goes public has a higher cost basis than a stockholder who buys the same company's common stock for the same price, but with lower fees, later.
Accounting for dividends is one of the major differences between owning preferred stock and common stock. Preferred shareholders must receive their dividends before common stockholders do. Not only must preferred shareholders account for dividend income earlier, they might need to account for a larger dividend payment, because preferred shareholders receive stated dividends. Common shareholders sometimes receive less per share, based on the company's finances and any decision by the board of directors to cut dividends.
Par Value
Par value, which applies only to some instances of preferred stock, also affects how shareholders account for their investments. Although the price of common stock can change with the market, preferred stock sometimes has a par value that represents the lowest price the company will issue stock for. Preferred shareholders might have lower cost bases if they buy preferred stock for a low par value and the company later issues common stock for a higher price.

MATERNAL CHILD HEALTH NURSING Module 3
objectives Discuss pregnancy and fetal well-being Discuss pregnancy complications
Physiological changes of pregnancy Uterus Hormones stimulate increased vascularity, growth of new muscle and tissue (hyperplasia) and growth of existing muscle and tissue (hypertrophy) Grows from 2 ounces (50 grams) to 2.2 pounds (1,000 grams); rises from low pelvis to base of ribcage Enlargement a "probable sign" of pregnancy Hegar's sign: softening of isthmus, also "probable"
Physiological changes of pregnancy Cervix Softening called "Goodell's sign", a probable sign of pregnancy Ovaries Suppressed ovulation Vagina Chadwick's sign: blue, violet or purple darkening of vagina, cervix, perhaps vulva
Physiological changes of pregnancy Breasts Hypertrophy of mammary glands Increased vascularization, size, pigmentation and changes in areolas and nipples Colostrum forms in late pregnancy and may leak even before birth of baby Need adequate support
Pregnancy: cardiovascular FON p 792, box 25-5 10-15 bpm increase Blood pressure decreases slightly in second trimester and returns to pre-pregnancy levels in third Blood volume: 40%-50% increase H&H: decreased due to blood volume Increased RBC mass WBCs increase 2 nd, 3 rd trimesters Cardiac output: 30%-50% increase
Pregnancy: respiratory FON p 792 box 25-6 Rate may increase 02 consumption 15%-20% greater Total lung capacity may be slightly decreased In 3 rd trimester, high fundal position may make short of breath. Lightening refers to the baby's drop into the pelvis before birth and often allows easier breathing
Pregnancy: musculoskeletal Increased weight and outgrowth of womb alter mom's posture Exaggerated spinal curves (lordosis): aching, numbness, weak upper extremities Estrogen and relaxin soften connective tissues, symphysis pubis and hip joints, allowing growth and change but also stretching supportive fibers
Pregnancy: gastrointestinal Peristalsis slows Gas, constipation, abdominal distension and discomfort Hemorrhoids from constipation, pressure Iron supplements May have higher cholesterol, cholelithiasis
Pregnancy: urinary In first trimester, hormones and enlarging uterus irritate bladder -> frequency Later, weight of uterus puts pressure on bladder Kegels can help prevent urinary incontinence Ureter and kidney dilation, bladder trauma can lead to increased infections
Pregnancy: integumentary Darkened pigmentation Areola, nipples, vulva, perianus, linea alba Linea nigra Darkening of areola may allow newborn to better visualize target area during breastfeeding Chloasma or butterfly Striae gravidarum: stretch marks Spider nevi, palmar erythema, hirsutism
Pregnancy: endocrine Elevated estrogen, progesterone Triggered by HCG from corpus luteum weeks 1-10 Maintained by placenta thereafter Prevent follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and ovulation Prolactin, oxytocin Pituitary gland origin Role in contraction (oxytocin), breastfeeding (both)
Pregnancy: metabolism Metabolism generally increases to meet energy needs of mother and fetus Affected by prenatal nutrient/energy state Maternal energy stores may be altered by larger baby Mom needs up to 500 extra Kcalories, depending on trimester or breastfeeding status Number of infants Underlying maternal needs
Signs of pregnancy Presumptive – possibly mean pregnancy Amenorrhea Nausea, vomiting Frequent urination Breast changes Abdominal changes Quickening (16-18 weeks) Skin changes Chadwick's sign
Signs of pregnancy Probable (indicate high likelihood) Changes in reproductive organs (uterine enlargement with softening of isthmus (Hegar's sign), cervix (Goodell's sign) Ballottement(palpating presence of fetal by rebound) Positive pregnancy tests (accuracy depends on collection technique)
Signs of pregnancy Positive Visualization of fetus X-ray or ultrasound Fetal movement observation by health care provider Auscultation of fetal heartbeat 10-12 weeks by Doppler/ultrasound 18 weeks fetoscope
Psychological adaptation to pregnancy Developmental tasks Pregnancy validation Accepting the pregnancy (1-13 weeks) Fetal embodiment Woman thinks of herself as "mom" and thinks of the fetus as part of herself (14-27 weeks) Fetal distinction Mom prepares for delivery, thinks of fetus as separate from herself (28 weeks – delivery) Role transition Woman/wife/girlfriend -> Mom Partners' tasks Similar transition to parent role
Factors: psychological response Body image Financial situation Cultural expectations Status, work Emotional security Support from significant others
Prenatal education and care Prenatal care Begins before conception and continues during pregnancy It may take weeks before a woman realizes she's pregnant Neurological development significant in first few weeks Women not preventing pregnancy should prepare for it
Anticipatory guidance self-care Pregnancy can be a great time to teach health promotion, as women often are eager to protect their pregnancies Pap smears, breast self exams Nurses can help women separate fact and fiction
Prenatal care: initial visit History, demographics Estimated due date (EDD) Nagele's rule Start with first day of LMP, count back 3 months, add 7 days Most babies born 10 days before or after this date Useful if Mom's menstrual cycle regular Gestation calculation wheel Two wheels preprinted with dates and events that can show EDD
Prenatal care: initial visit Estimated due date (EDD) Woods Method or Nichols Rule Primigravida (28-day cycle): LMP + 12 mo – 2 mo and 14 days Multigravida (28-day cycle): LMP + 12 mo – 2 mo and 18 days Cycles >28 days: EDD + (days in cycle – 28 days) = new EDD Cycles < 28 days: EDD – (28 days-days in cycle) = new EDD Mittendorf's Observations
Prenatal care: initial visit Fundal height From weeks 18-30, the height of the fundus in centimeters about equal to weeks' gestation Requires skill and experience for accuracy
Prenatal care: initial visit Ultrasound High-pitched sound waves bounced off fetus and tissues are received back by monitor and made into pictures (sonogram) or pattern (FHR monitor) Doppler refers to a hand-held version that works similarly – picks up fetal heartbeat Fetal heartbeat Detected by auscultation (fetal stethoscope), Doppler or sonogram Quickening Mom feels baby's movements – starts about 16-18 weeks gestation
Prenatal care: physical exam Vital statistics Are vital signs appropriate to trimester and general health? Head to toe exam Gives baselines and also opportunities to note changes Pelvic exam Screens and tests may be done, structural abnormalities noted and reassurances given
Descriptive terms Abortion : termination of pregnancy <20 weeks Spontaneous: unintentional loss of pregnancy (miscarriage) Threatened: cramping, bleeding, spotting but closed cervix and no tissue passed Inevitable: S/S, cervix opens Incomplete: S/S, dilation, tissues passed Complete: S/S, tissues and fetus passed, cervix closes and bleeding stops Missed: fetus dies in utero but is retained, can lead to sepsis Recurrent: two or more abortions

Screening tests Ultrasonography High-frequency sound waves gestational age Presence of normal fetal development or abnormal developments Status and location of placenta and cord Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein screen (msAFP) Can indicate possible presence of chromosomal problems (Down's syndrome) if dates are correct Maternal blood test
Screening tests Chorionic villus sampling Genetic test of placental tissue Done at 8-12 weeks to avoid fetal injury Amniocentesis Done around 16 th week to determine fetal status May be done later to determine lung maturity Non-stress test Fetal monitoring without added stimulus Contraction stress test Fetal monitoring after stimulating contractions; done after 32 nd week
Screening tests MRI Images soft tissues and blood vessels without use of contrast medium Clearer than ultrasound Biophysical profile Assessed fetal well-being by measuring Non-stress test results Fetal breathing movements Fetal muscle tone Fetal movements Amniotic fluid volume
Prenatal care: return visits Subjective Objective blood pressures Weight Abnormal gain may mean increased fluid volume/edema Uterine size Measurements smaller or larger than expected for gestational age may indicate problem Edema Visible edema may indicate rising blood pressures
Prenatal care: return visits Fetal heartbeat Is it within normal range for gestational age? By term, normal range will be about 120-160 beats/minute Temporary increases/decreases normal with fetal activity Labs Blood: anemia, infection, etc Urine: infection, glucose/protein spilling Fetal position As baby nears 37 th week of pregnancy, usually turns head down Head-down position best for vaginal birth Leopold's maneuvers
Leopold's maneuvers Abdominal palpation Gently done – should not be uncomfortable or painful With practice, examiner can determine location of fetal head, buttocks and body position
Leopold's maneuvers

Bleeding complications Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) Disrupted clotting cascade: the body's response to bleeding overproduces clotting elements, tying up the supply in many tiny clots in small blood vessels. The clots obstruct blood flow and oxygenation of tissues, organs. The rest of the blood is free to bleed out Underlying disorders: abruptio placentae, incomplete abortion, HTN, infection, prolonged retention of dead fetus
Bleeding disorders DIC: Bleeding in lungs: dyspnea, chest pain, restlessness, cyanosis, frothy and bloody mucus coughed up Excess bleeding from small wounds/sites IV sticks, B/P cuff petechiae, shave nicks, IM sites, catheter insertion, nosebleed, bleeding gums Labs: H&H (anemia), decreased fibrinogen and platelet counts, prolonged PT, PTT times noted. Tx: IV blood and clot components, 02 by face mask, woman on side Consider delivery

The words "good news" and "Somalia" tend to appear in the same sentence about as often as "Donald Trump" and "self-effacing". So it is not to belittle the release of Frans Barnard, a British security worker kidnapped in Somalia while employed by Save the Children, to say that that his rescue may have been eclipsed by something possibly even more heartwarming. For Mr Barnard was freed not by an armed rescue mission, or through payment of a fat ransom. His rescue was the fruit of tireless negotiation with his captors by local clan elders.

text: I've been doing a bit of reading about the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was before my time, but I'm wondering if any of the Old & Bold were serving when it happened. If anybody has any good stories, anecdotes or links I'd be interested to hear them. I'm curious how close we actually came to going to war and what active preparations (if any) were made. Most people I've spoken to said they were sat in Germany shitting bricks and frantically reading up on tactical nukes.

The age of the Internet of Things is upon us
It's Just a DB and an API
These databases provide surprisingly little. They are scalable databases wrapped in a UI and an API. Why not just spin your own?
I suspect that a number of companies will do just that, combining technologies such as Rails and the lessons of Twitter with a little bit of back-end, high-scale database magic from AWS or another Cloud DB provider. This combination is enough to get you to the same level and could be hacked together quite quickly, so what is the appeal of any of these IoT platforms?
I'm working on an IoT product at the moment, and the key is time to market. The technologies have all matured around the same time, and consumers are more open to what they can provide. Getting our product out there matters, and if that means saving a few weeks here and there by using a platform to bootstrap ourselves to market, that's what we're going to do.
However, although the underlying technologies are mature, the product market is not mature. We are still learning how to fit this into peoples' lives and into existing businesses. Expect rapid development of such platforms as features such as security are improved.
A major feature I cannot see is control of security of many thousands of devices. The single access key won't work, and provisioning access keys could be too labor intensive. This dilemma has a huge implication for firms as they work out how they're going to provision a dizzying number of devices over the coming years.
Both platforms I've reviewed here feel very much to be in the early stages, missing features you would think are obvious. However, that's the point with the market in its current state. If you tried early versions of RightScale and other management platforms, the situation will be familiar. I expect rapid changes, because the underlying technologies are so mature, allowing the truly useful use cases to be addressed quickly.
This IoT is coming your way, and if you thought cloud computing introduced an impressive volume of data and computing power, just wait for The Things.

text: Okay, a summary. I am located in Australia and I have recently contacted Centrelink to own up to not properly declaring my income for the last 4 years. By my estimate this would have resulted in an overpayment of about $40k. The mitigating circumstances are that I have had a drug and alcohol problem during this time (I'm now on day 13 of detox), suffered from depression and had significant financial hardship. This would also be my first appearance before the court in any capacity. I'm terrified of being imprisoned. I share custody of children. Do you think this is likely? I know I did the wrong thing, which is why I called them to own up to it and I am truly remorseful. No charges have been laid yet, and I haven't been invited in for an interview.

Biology, Ecology and Systematics of Australian Scelio by Paul Dangerfield
Book DescriptionParasitic wasps of the genus Scelio play an important role in the regulation of orthopteran populations and are implicated in suppressing numbers of numerous pest locusts and grasshoppers. This landmark volume provides a full taxonomic treatment of the sixty species of Scelio found on the Australian continent and reviews in detail the biology and ecology and host relationships of Scelio on a worldwide basis. Taking an international perspective, the text outlines our current knowledge on topics such as host finding, population biology, and methods and techniques for collection and study in the field. The use of Scelio as biological control agents is discussed and comprehensive checklists document the recorded host relationships of each known species worldwide. There is a full taxonomic revision of all Australian species of Scelio, half of which are newly described. Each species description is complemented with high-quality line drawings, micrographs and distribution maps. In addition, an illustrated key to species enables easy identification of species by non-taxonomists. Biology, Ecology and Systematics of Australian Scelio provides wasp taxonomists, researchers of orthoptera and biological control workers with a basis for detailed studies elsewhere on this economically important group of insects.

Transportation of goods from one place to another is an important issue to consider living in the 21st century. Why? The answer is that many people, businesses and individuals, utilize online services to sell or purchase products; thus, they require the use of a reliable transport service to handle to transportation of the item. Of course, finding the ideal parcel forwarding company can be difficult considering the various types of carriers available. This article will provide information on the factors to consider when searching for an effective and reliable freight forwarding company.
1. The Size Of The Company
Contrary to popular belief, an effective freight forwarding company (air or shipping) does not need to be a large, well-known organisation. In fact, some of the smaller companies offer more efficient services with better discounts for individuals working with restricted budgets. When searching for the ideal company, it is important to consider the amount of experience the business has and the reputation over the size. Experience can be determined by reviewing the company's portfolio and discussing the prior projects with the professional's during an initial phone call. The reputation can be determined by reading testimonials online via third-party review websites or by asking for referrals from colleagues or family members.
2. The Financial Stability Of The Company
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a freight forwarder is to identify the financial stability of the business. This particular issue can be identified by determining how many years the company has been in business; as well as the amount of projects they have completed over that number of years. While it is not always discouraged to hire a new, inexperienced company; the lack of experience may indicate a lack of financial stability and a potential difficulty to manage the project. It is also recommended you request a copy of the company's bank records before finalizing any agreements.
3. The Cost Of The Service
Cost is always a highly significant factor and this must be taken into account when choosing a reliable, effective carrier. Cost of services is most easily determined by reviewing websites or service booklets to peruse packages; however, it is advised that you speak with the carrier consultants to identify whether or not it is possible to obtain a discount for the item. Always be aware of different carriers and be ready to compare different prices, particularly if you are working with a limited budget.

Immersed Interface Method by Zhilin Li
Book DescriptionThis text provides an introduction to the immersed interface method (IIM), a powerful numerical method for solving interface problems and problems defined on irregular domains for which analytic solutions are rarely available. It provides a complete description of the IIM, discusses recent progress in the area, and describes numerical methods for a number of classic interface problems. It also contains many numerical examples that can be used as benchmark problems for numerical methods designed for interface problems on irregular domains. Particular topics include the IIM's applications to Stefan problems and unstable crystal growth, incompressible Stokes and Navier-Stokes flows with moving interfaces, an inverse problem identifying unknown shapes in a region, a nonlinear interface problem of magnetorheological fluids containing iron particles, and other problems. The book also contains several applications of free boundary and moving interface problems, including examples from physics, computational fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, material science, and other fields.

Goldman Sachs has updated its fiscal forecast, taking into account "the not so good, the bad and the ugly" potential outcomes from the current fiscal crisis. The bank's research suggests that in the best-case scenario, U.S. fiscal policy will drag GDP growth down by about 1.75%; in the worst case, if all fiscal slope programs expire, the impact could hit 4.5%.

Pakistani American Software Engineer Introduces Advanced SEO in Lahore
A Pakistani software engineer who was selected by an American company for automating the systems of one of the biggest health science labs in USA has introduced advanced SEO in Lahore. Pakki News resources revealed that Mashal Zia, a distinguished software engineer who is currently working in the USA, has partnered with a Pakistani, Lahore based creative advertising agency, to introduce advanced internet marketing techniques that are more responsive to Google's quality content oriented algorithms. Eye Apple representatives claimed that they were already engaged in search engine optimization of the company, Mashal was working with. During the process several findings were keenly addressed by both the stakeholders that lead to this initiative of starting the project of advanced seo in Lahore. In a question answer session with Mr Zia he mentioned that there was a time when people used to stuff keywords in their webpages to take a prominent position on the first SERPs of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, etc. But Google's selection process through its algorithms has evolved over the period of time and improved in a sense because now users get more relevant and comprehensive information.
In a conversation with Mr Zia, he said, "I believes that Google is providing a great service through making the knowledge dissemination free. Now even a poor boy or a girl in a remote rural area having internet access through a cell phone can have access to the limitless information and knowledge. SEO has been misused by amateur people to earn fast money and that affected the users who get incorrect or irrelevant information when search through a query (keywords). With the improved and advanced SEO in Lahore, we will not only give an opportunity to existing SEO service providers to improve their practices but also it will help improve the local content. Soon we will be launching a crash course for teaching advanced SEO in Lahore and we even intend to enroll students free of charge who are passionate to learn but lack financial resources."
Our Pakki News representative also met with Client Service team of Eye Apple and found that this Pakistani Creative agency is making waves in first world countries through their quality but less costly services. Their creative services include graphic design, video making, copy writing and internet marketing.

From small and large businesses to universities and even now labor unions, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare – is reshaping the landscape of both U.S. employment and health care. An employee email last week from Dr. Robert Pryor, president and CEO of central Texas-based Scott & White Healthcare, prompts asking if the "bad news about some changes we need to make to some of our pay and benefit programs" is more fallout as PPACA implementation moves forward.
Termed as "one of the most difficult messages I have ever had to deliver to you," Pryor first provided context for his remarks:
As many of you know, the healthcare industry is under tremendous financial pressure. We have seen a number of our competitors layoff large numbers of employees, halt construction projects, and freeze all hiring. Like our competitors, Scott & White has also experienced significant financial challenges. While Clinic visits have increased 28% over the last five years, the reimbursements we receive per visit have decreased by 15%. Translated another way – we receive $64 million dollars less today, for this year's Clinic visits than we would have received five years ago. Another example is our commitment to provide care for those who cannot afford it – charity care. This is an important part of our mission and our heritage as a non-profit organization, but we do absorb this growing expense which is projected to exceed $77 million dollars in 2014.
In the next decade, competition for new revenue, new markets, new products and new services will continue to intensify. We know we need new ways of operating to sustain our organization in the future. Sustainability at Scott & White means becoming laser focused on evolving our business model, while delivering uncompromised patient care. We have succeeded for over 116 years because we innovate, and that will continue.
Dwindling reimbursement rates coupled with rising patient counts are indeed industry trends. The Daily Caller reports how hospitals providing charitable care can expect "new levels of scrutiny of their nonprofit status and could face sizable new fines under Obamacare."
Pryor further explains the organization has reduced operating expenses by more than $15 million through eliminating executive positions systemwide, consolidating responsibilities, reviewing even eliminating wasteful service contracts and reducing reliance on contract labor and consultants.
He goes on to outline, however, these additional expense reductions:
- Effective January 1, 2014, we will reduce non-provider staff and executive (AVPs and above) retirement plan contributions to 5% of eligible compensation. APPs and Anesthesia Assistants will receive 7% of eligible compensation. Practicing Scott & White physicians will continue to receive 13% of eligible compensation.
- We will not increase staff or executive salaries for 2014. We implemented a new base pay strategy effective January 1, 2013. This allowed us to "catch up" many of our staff to market pay rates at that time, but we cannot afford to increase base pay again in 2014.
- Each year, our executives have a portion of their compensation that is at risk based on achievement of personal and organizational goals. We will not pay any of those payments to executives for the 2013 fiscal year. Combined with the retirement plan changes, this means our executives will essentially see a 15% – 35% pay cut to their total compensation relative to a "normal" year at Scott & White.
- If you are not eligible to receive pre-65 retiree medical benefits from Scott & White by December 31, 2013, you will not receive pre-65 retiree medical coverage if you retire from Scott & White.
- While Scott & White will still pay more for the Staff Medical Plan coverage in 2014 than we have in 2013, your premiums will also increase (exact premiums will be available in October).
Recognizing the unpopular reception with which these changes will be met, Pryor notes "the alternatives to these kinds of cuts would have been several hundred job eliminations."
He describes ongoing construction and advertising expenses as investments in the future explaining "sustainability means we have to make strategic investments that will support our long-term growth and success, even if it means we have to suffer through some short-term pain to get there."
Pryor assures employees these changes are not related to the potential merger with Baylor Health Care System, that "these changes would occur regardless of any future merger, and are due to the conditions of our industry."
In closing the email, Pryor announces a series of town hall meetings will be scheduled throughout the Scott & White system and says that while he cannot promise more changes will not be necessary, he can promise "we are doing all we can to save jobs in our communities, while keeping our patients at the center of our focus."
PPACA, ACA, Obamacare – these terms are used nowhere in the email. People will have to judge for themselves.
Meanwhile, Scott & White's organizational intersection with Obamacare dates back several years. Dr. J. James Rohack, a Scott & White cardiologist, served as president of the American Medical Association (AMA) from June 2009 into 2010.
In his inaugural address as AMA president, Dr. Rohack spoke to the nation's physician leaders assembled for the AMA Annual Meeting and pledged to embrace the challenges of this extraordinary moment in history and lead the profession's efforts to provide health insurance coverage for all Americans.
Dr. Rohack stressed that a uniquely American solution to health system reform must deliver "evolutionary change" and renewed the AMA's commitment to health care reform that improves access to high-quality, affordable health care for all patients.
"I can promise that our AMA is committed to offering guidance, our expertise, the benefits of our relationship with patients, and the powerful voice of our profession, to help the powers that be make the right decisions," said Dr. Rohack. "This is an effort that will define our organization, define our nation and define each and every one of us."
Per the Scott & White web site, Rohack also serves as director of the organization's Center for Healthcare Policy and medical director for System Improvement at the Scott & White Health Plan.
In March 2010, Rohack shared with The Texas Tribune "why Texas has so much to gain from the health care overhaul."
The Tribune opened the article describing Rohack as:
Dr. J. James Rohack isn't just the president of the influential American Medical Association, an organization that carried the torch for the health care reform bill the U.S. House of Representatives passed this week. He's a Texan.
Rohack is a senior staff cardiologist at Scott & White Clinic in Temple, and a professor at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. He's also the former president of the Texas Medical Association, which very publicly opposed the health care legislation.
Rohack's words foretelling of "evolutionary change" seem to be ringing true. Whether Obamacare or changes due to some other unnamed source, Scott & White employees are gaining much – and the health care overhaul must be viewed as a likely factor. At this point, gains appear to include new job insecurity, reduced employment compensation, diminished retirement benefits, uncertain health care coverage and more expensive health care premium costs.
Indeed these employees and other Texans are gaining. Too bad it's nothing anyone wants.
