Obama Leaves Door Open To Tax On Health Benefits
"President Barack Obama on Wednesday rejected the idea of fully taxing Americans" employer-provided health insurance benefits, but suggested he might be persuaded to tax so-called Cadillac coverage ... in the interest of a compromise with Congress," McClatchy/The Star-Telegram reports. The President, speaking at a "town hall-style event" taped at the White House and aired on ABC News, "said he would prefer to pay for expanded coverage by eliminating some deductions for higher-earning taxpayers but that "there"s going to have to be some compromise." The President "said he understands Americans" trepidation about changing the system: "They know that they"re living with the devil, but the devil they know they think may be better than the devil they don"t." He said any reform would be phased in, not happen overnight" (Talev and Lightman, 6/24).

AAMC Applauds Benjamin As Choice For Surgeon General, USA

AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) President and CEO Darrell G. Kirch, M.D., issued the following statement on President Obama"s nomination of Regina Benjamin, M.D., M.B.A., as U.S. surgeon general: "The AAMC congratulates Dr. Benjamin on her nomination as U.S. surgeon general. A gifted physician with a strong commitment to caring for the underserved and community health, Dr. Benjamin has first-hand understanding of the struggles many Americans face when they seek health care. This nomination also appears to mark the first time that a former participant in the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) could serve as our chief public health official. The NHSC, which provides financial assistance to new physicians who practice in underserved areas, is critically important to America"s future health care needs. In addition to Dr. Benjamin"s experience with the NHSC and caring for the underserved, she would also bring an understanding of medical education to her new position. As former associate dean for rural health at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, Dr. Benjamin trained medical students at the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic, which she founded, and mentored them through her directorship of the Alabama Area Health Education Center. She is also the immediate past chair of the Federation of State Medical Boards, and has participated in various initiatives undertaken by the National State Board of Medical Examiners. The surgeon general can play a vital role in setting the nation"s health agenda, and Dr. Benjamin"s experience on the frontlines of care delivery will provide an excellent foundation for her contributions to the administration"s reform efforts. We applaud Dr. Benjamin"s nomination, and look forward to working with her to improve the health of the nation, once she receives Senate confirmation." The Association of American Medical Colleges
