Paragraph: Gov. Brian Kemp said proposed changes to former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act would give individuals and families less expensive coverage options, a particular benefit for those who don't qualify for federal subsidies to cover premiums. "They're going to work to reduce costs, make health care more accessible and have better quality in our state," Kemp said in a statement. Critics say it would drive up insurance costs for older and sicker people. Kemp also wants to offer subsidized coverage to a fraction of Georgia's uninsured poor if they worked or went to school for 80 or more hours a month. Kemp's administration projects the expansion would cover 50,000 people, far less than the 400,000 uninsured Georgians who might be covered by the Medicaid expansion originally envisioned by the overhaul. This second proposal, aimed at people earning incomes of up to 100% of the federal poverty level, echoes those made by other states. Federal officials have rejected some similar partial expansions. But it's the first plan, under which Georgia would take over the federal insurance marketplace and the associated funding that goes with it, that's drawing national notice. The state would make those federal subsidies available to people who buy health plans that don't provide the full array of benefits that the Affordable Care Act requires. Passed in 2010, Obama's signature health care law extended insurance coverage to millions of Americans by expanding Medicaid and subsidizing premiums for individuals and families who make up to four times the federal poverty level. The law also known as "Obamacare" allows states to seek waivers from the federal government to change certain provisions, but only if they adhere to strict rules. The Trump administration has loosened those rules, and Kemp's plan includes three approaches promoted by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in November 2018. Health policy experts say that change would drive up ACA premiums by drawing healthier people to less expensive, skimpier insurance plans. That would leave the ACA with a sicker patient pool. Under Kemp's plan, Georgia residents would be required to bypass the central HealthCare.gov website to sign up for insurance. Instead, the state would redirect them to a list of approved brokers and insurers where consumers would be able to compare ACA-compliant plans side by side with plans that don't meet ACA requirements. All plans would have to continue covering preexisting conditions. In addition to the current gold, silver and bronze level plans, Georgia would let insurers offer a new lower tier of benefits, called copper level, which would cover only about half the cost of projected expenses. The current lowest level of bronze covers about 60% of costs. The state says copper level premiums are expected to be 17% lower than bronze level premiums, on average. Georgia also would let insurers offer disease management plans aimed at helping patients manage a particular high-cost disease such as diabetes or HIV and AIDS. State officials would set an overall cap on its own subsidies at $255 million. There is no cap under the ACA, although the state doesn't project its spending will come anywhere near the cap, even though it projects enrollment will increase by more than 37,000. The governor's office estimates that the availability of subsidies for pared-down health plans would only increase "Obamacare" premiums by a little more than 1%. State officials say that amount would be more than offset by its intention to pay a portion of insurance companies' costs to treat their sickest patients, a relatively small group that incurs the biggest bills. The so-called reinsurance program would allow the companies to lower monthly premiums for all customers. Twelve other states have received approval for reinsurance programs, according to data from the Kaiser Family Foundation. State officials expect to hear by August whether Georgia has permission to implement its plans. Claim: Georgia's Kemp submits bid to remake health insurance market.
answer:
Georgia's Republican governor on Monday submitted twin plans requesting that President Donald Trump's administration allow changes to federal government subsidies for health insurance.

question:
Paragraph: Muskegon resident Pamela Anderson said that after hearing about numerous cases, she started a Facebook group about cancer deaths among people who live or have lived near the Butterworth landfill site in Grand Rapids. They plan to bring up the issue at a city commission meeting this week, the Grand Rapids Press reported . The group recently met with Kent County Health Department epidemiologist Brian Hartl, who advised them to collect more information on cancer rates in the area. "If there are rare forms of cancer, or cancers we're seeing affect a young population, it might trigger further investigation," Hartl said. But he cautioned that cancer is difficult to study, and that it can take years and multiple triggers to emerge. "Especially in small areas like a neighborhood or a block, it makes it challenging to connect it to environmental exposure," Hartl said. "Most cancers are due to lifestyle choices, not environmental factors." The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that theoretical cancer and health risks from the landfill exist, but that they're limited to regular direct contact with the waste over several decades. The agency conducted a site cleanup in 1999, and removed material contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl and chromium. The EPA said there is no current exposure at the site. "A lot of those kids in the '60s and '70s used to play in the dump," said Shane Smith, who grew up down the street from Anderson in the Indiana Avenue neighborhood. "It was just starting to alarm to us, because my dad's entire generation passed away from cancer." Anderson said she's having the soil tested for contaminants at a home in the same neighborhood. ___ Information from: The Grand Rapids Press, http://www.mlive.com/grand-rapids Claim: Residents investigate cancer rates near Michigan landfill.
answer:
A group of residents is investigating cancer rates in a western Michigan neighborhood that's near a contaminated landfill classified as a Superfund site.

question:
Paragraph: His case is but one in a long history of troubling incidents at the Anderson assisted living facility. Relevant police and state records don't add up. In South Carolina, the state Department of Health and Environmental Control is responsible for overseeing the quality of services at assisted living facilities such as Upstate Residential Care, but records reveal a gap in accountability. Many of the disappearances from the home were never disclosed to regulators, an Independent Mail investigation found. If a resident of Upstate Residential Care leaves for more than 24 hours without notifying the staff, the facility is required to report the incident to DHEC, local law enforcement and the resident's "responsible party," said DHEC spokesman Tommy Crosby. But what happens if a vulnerable resident disappears for less than a day? According to state regulations, an assisted living facility's administrator or someone he designates must notify police immediately if a cognitively impaired resident leaves the home's premises for any amount of time without notice to the staff. The first time Shell left, Dec. 11, 2013, he was gone from the two-story brick building on South McDuffie Street for 10 hours and 58 minutes before Horace Alexander, the owner of the facility, called police, according to the times clocked on an officer's incident report. Alexander told police that Shell was "mentally challenged." Alexander said Shell could communicate only in sign language or writing. Alexander said Shell, then 57, had left the home at 9 a.m. that winter day wearing an orange Clemson University pullover and faded purple sweatpants. Alexander told officers that he didn't know which direction Shell was traveling or where he intended to go. Less than a month later, on Jan. 6, 2014, Shell left the home again. Alexander told police Shell had left at 6:30 a.m. and had missed the facility's 7 p.m curfew. Alexander notified police of Shell's absence at 8:21 p.m. Alexander told officers Shell "becomes agitated and violent if he is told he cannot leave the property to drink." He told them Shell had left on "multiple occasions" and found people to give him money so he could buy alcohol. A month later, Shell left Upstate Residential Care again, this time at 6 a.m. Police were notified at 10:33 a.m. A worker told police Shell left wearing a black and gray jacket. It's not clear when or how he returned to the facility the first three times he left. Six months later, Shell left the home for a fourth time. Three days passed before Upstate Residential Care called Anderson police on Aug. 25, 2014, according to a police report. The report offers little information except that he "left walking" on Aug. 22 and hadn't returned. Police sought the public's help to find Shell and told media he may have left the home to buy cigarettes. Four days after he disappeared, Shell was found uninjured in Greenville. Upstate Residential Care never reported Shell's disappearances to DHEC, according to records. DHEC sent an inspector to the home after the South Carolina Governor's Office of the Ombudsman filed a complaint about the way Upstate Residential Care handled Shell's fourth disappearance. In agency records, DHEC refers to Shell only as "Resident A." The dates and details included in DHEC's records match those in Anderson police records about Shell. On Sept. 9, 2014, DHEC cited Upstate Residential Care for failing to report Shell's disappearance and for recording that he "rejected his medications" on five days that he was actually missing from the facility. Alexander said Shell had tried to leave the assisted living facility many times, and given that, he thought the time he took to notify police was reasonable. He wrote that his staff was under the impression that Upstate Residential Care Residents "refused their medications if they failed to be on campus at the time the medications were to be dispensed." "It appears we have become a dumping ground for people who would otherwise be homeless or public nuisances, and in return, we find ourselves the brunt of all complaints," Alexander wrote to DHEC. When contacted by an Independent Mail reporter, Alexander declined to comment for this article. Anderson police records show that residents were reported missing from Upstate Residential Care at least 10 times in the last five years, with most of those disappearances occurring in 2014. None of the disappearances were detailed in four serious incidents reported by the facility to DHEC. A schizophrenic man who was placed at the home "by mental health" walked away after having an argument with another resident, according to police records. The man was gone for more than three hours before someone from the facility notified police that he had missed the evening curfew. Another schizophrenic man walked away from the home the day after he started living there. He left at 6 p.m. and was supposed to be back an hour later, Alexander told police. Records show that police were dispatched to the facility at 10:25 p.m., more than three hours after the mentally ill man had walked away. Police noted in their incident report that Alexander had "waited a few hours and then notified law enforcement." On another occasion, an Upstate Residential Care worker called police and said a resident who was "required to take several medications" had left the home the day before to go to AnMed Health Medical Center's emergency room and had not returned. At least 22 hours passed before the worker called police. In another case, a teenager described as having the mental capacity of a 6-year-old disappeared from Upstate Residential Care twice in two days. According to a police report, Alexander told officers that the 19-year-old was at his facility because he was ordered by the court to be there. Alexander described the teen as having a "history of mental issues such as ADHD, bipolar and mood disorders." Alexander told police the teen had left the facility with another resident who has a mental health problem and whom he described as "addicted to crack cocaine." Alexander told police both residents were probably "at a crack house on the south side of town." Six months after that, police called Alexander about a missing resident instead of Alexander calling police. The woman was standing outside The Little General on South Murray Avenue when officers found her. Someone called 911 after seeing her at the Anderson convenience store asking for help. A police report describes her in the briefest of terms: Asian, "very confused" and having "medical issues." She had with her a piece of paper that bore the address of Upstate Residential Care. When officers called the assisted living facility a half-mile away, the owner said "it was just discovered" that the 58-year-old woman had walked away. It's not clear how long she had been gone.
