New York, NY, United States (AHN) – A disappointing report Friday from the Labor Department sent stocks lower on the open Friday. Just after the opening bell on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 88 points, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index fell 11 points and the NASDAQ sank 35 points. The jobs report showed a net gain of 115,000 jobs in April, much less than the expected 160,000. However, upward revisions to the February and March job figures helped the unemployment rate inch down from 8.2 percent to 8.1 percent. Investors didn’t like the news and stocks were sent sharply lower. Friday’s market drop followed Thursday’s decline [...] Continue Reading…

Analysis: ACOs could have the Medicare muscle to transform health system
Posted on May 3, 2012

Washington, D.C., United States (KaiserHealth) – A radical change just getting underway in the U.S. health system could transform how medical treatment has been paid for since Hippocrates made his first house call. But the new payment method faces conflicting dangers: either it won’t be strong enough to upend entrenched incentives or it will be so successful it will prove too politically disruptive to survive. The “accountable care organization” replaces the idea of reimbursing individual doctors and hospitals by procedure with a lump-sum payment to clinicians working as a formal ACO team. Under the terms of the Affordable Care Act, a Medicare ACO agrees to be responsible for all the care needs of a group of patients and [...] Continue Reading…

Diane Alter – AHN News Reporter
New York, NY, United States (AHN) – U.S. stocks fell on the open Wednesday following a weaker-than-expected jobs report. Just after the opening bell on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 44 points, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index dropped 7 points and the NASDAQ dipped 17. On Tuesday, stocks rose and pushed the Dow to its highest close since December 2007. But Wednesday, a lackluster report on private sector jobs did not reassure investors. The ADP report showed that the private sector added 119,000 jobs in April. That was much less than the 170,000 expected new jobs economists had forecast. It is also a stark decline from the [...] Continue Reading…
