Top health care priority should be holding down costs

Top health care priority should be holding down costs

For me, the saddest part of the 2016 presidential election is not that we have two of the most disliked presidential candidates in history but that so little attention is being paid to health care.You may have noticed that health care rarely comes up in campaign speeches or in debates, and when it does it's often scripted empty promises.Donald Trump has a plan entitled "Healthcare Reform to Make America Great Again."

Mental health care transition eight months underway

A door leading to the Children's Unit in Brentwood hospital (Photo: Lex Talamo)Eight months into a major health care transition, state agencies say former community fears were unfounded and children and families are satisfied with continued services.Last December, the state shifted Medicaid users' insurance from Magellan Health Inc. to five Healthy Louisiana plans –formerly known as the five Bayou health plans Aetna Better Health, Amerigroup Real Solutions, AmeriHealth Caritas, Louisiana Healthcare Connections and United Healthcare.At the time, several community leaders and child welfare agencies voiced concern that the transition would mean children would slip through the cracks or experience gaps in their services.
