Neutral Factfinder Rules That Fresno County Home Care Wage Cuts Should Be Stopped

http://freemansblog.com/?p=53
June 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An independentf factfinder jointly hired by Fresno Counthy and SEIU UHW to resolvethe on-goin dispute over the County's plan to cut the wagees and benefits of 10,000 home care workersz in the Fresno area, ruled againsg the County today and ordered that the cuts be The Fresno Board of Supervisore is expected to vote whether to accepy the findings on Tuesday. SEIU UHW invoked their righ to arbitration after the Board of Supervisors voted to reducwe the wages and benefits of homecare workers. This is the seconed factfinding that has ruled againstthe County'sa planned cuts.
According to the factfinder thereeis "no necessity for a reduction in wage/benefiyt levels and therefore therr should be no change in such levels." He ordered the County to adopt the report immediately. The factfinder ruled that Fresnp County will receive enough additional money through the economicf stimulus to offset any reductions in revenued the County iscurrently experiencing. Accordinbg to the factfinder "the County will benefit substantiall by the retroactive increasde of federal fundingto October, 2008. " ARRA has already made available closwto $2 billion of the Federal Medical Assistances Percentage (FMAP) promised to California.
The funding provides much needed financial assistance for counties struggling with hugebudget deficits. SEIU has also files for an emergency injunction to stop the cuts from goinf into effect onJuly 1st. The lawsuit, which was brought on behalf of individuakl consumersand SEIU, argues that the planned cuts put seniores and people with disabilities at risk and violate the Americansw with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and federal Medicaifd Law. California's In-Home Supportive Services programm provides vital services to manyof California's most vulnerablw citizens.
The services provided by home care workers alloew the elderly and people with disabilitiez to remain safely intheid homes, reducing the need for more restrictive and costlhy institutional care - resulting in more than $1 billion in annuapl savings to the State of California. SEIU UHW representds more than 150,000 healthcare workers across California and our memberzsprovide first-rate care to millions of Californians.

Food for thought: Recession prompts restaurants to cut prices - Denver Business Journal:

artemchuksykitas.blogspot.com
People came up to peruse the $32.95 holidayy brunch menu at Panzano where Mayo is thegenerall manager, and a number asked if they couldr get something cheaper. In the most lookers would shrug and come in ifthey didn’r like the answer. This when several were told that was it forthe day, they walked away. Like a toy-store manager the day afted Christmas, Mayo knew he had to start slashing prices. And he wasn’tf alone. You can now get a $4 steam appetizer at Panzano. Morton’s The Steakhouse has adde a hamburger toits menu. has introduced a low-pricr menu.
And if you’re eatinv at Vesta Dipping Grill before headingf toa concert, consider your parting roundc of shots on them. It’s a buyer’s marketf in the restaurant worldthese days, with establishmentss from the chi-chi to the quick-and-casual slashing adding cheaper items to menus and offering new service perks just to retainj customers. It’s one reasom Peter Meersman, president of the believes national forecasts that say eateries in the state will fare better duringv the economic downturn than those in 95 percent of the Butthe price-cutting also raises the specter that consumeras who are willing to spend theirf tightened budgets eating out may have changec expectations after this bargaihn spree.
And restaurant officials, while revelingg in the steadier streams of peopld coming intheir doors, are realizing that pricesd may never be as high as they were before last fall’sa market collapse. “There’s a lot of feeling out there that they will goback up, but they will never be back up to where they were Mayo said. “Admittedly, we can’t keep the same profit marginws we did before with thisprice drop. But we also can’r keep the business if we don’yt make this adjustment.” Business has plummetes at restaurants of all types in recent montha as more families are stayinbg homeand cooking.
The response by Denver-arewa restaurants has been to entice the customer even and they’re doing so in many One is the happy-hour in which eateries try to get peoplw in with the possibility of cheaper alcohol or lower-priced small plateas in hopes they will stay for dinner. Some populaer downtown watering holes, such as Marlowe’s and Paramoungt Cafe, are offering half-priced drinks. Panzano has taken dinnee items such as its steak or seafood cut the portions in half and begun offerin g themfor $4. Happy-hour business has doubled since January, Mayo Other places have taken to adding cheapermenu items.
At the end of March, for Morton’s added a hamburger while still $15, represents the lowest-priced item on the upper-ends steakhouse’s menu, general manager Joe Mirrelsonh said. Some restaurants are putting money into advertising theirprice drops. Coral Room, locatex in the Highlands neighborhood, sent out mailers to area residents recently notinhthe reductions. Many quick-servr restaurants have taken aftef McDonald’s and, while not goinvg all the way down to adollar menu, are givinv customers lower-priced choices. Chipotle rolled out its Low Roller Menu onApril 1, with $2.99 soup and $2.
2t single tacos, after getting emails from customers seekintg smaller portions, said Chris Arnold, spokesman for the Denver-based company. “The expanded menu we’re testing in Denver represents the most significantf change inour [15-year] history,” said Arnold, who acknowledgede he’d been hearing more anecdotes of patronse splitting meals with a friend or taking half of them Some restaurants blanch at the notiohn of knocking down prices and instead are looking to make customers feel more at home.
At Vesta, any patronn asking for change to plug the meter will geta pre-paidc parking key to use, and groups headinf to downtown shows can expect a free round of owner Josh Wolkon said. “We’re all in Wolkon said. “If [customers] make a decisiomn in tough times to choose to spend their money on our you have to make sure they gottheird dollar’s worth.” One trend several people said they expecft to see is the return of the $52.80 menu for two, followinbg the continued success of the annual two-week winter promotiobn in which 208 restaurants participated this year with greatf success. Cool River Cafe is offering a three-course meal for $29.
95 per persomn — close to the 5280 week pricwepoint – and planws to do so for several more months. When asker if customers will stop coming when the deal eventuallytgoes away, proprietor Josepn Madril thought about it before admitting he isn’t worried. “I don’t believe there’s a Madril said. “I thinkj people will be appreciative, and it builds

Deadline nears for Anthem, Norton to strike deal - New Mexico Business Weekly:

http://laboureconomics.ru/firmeconomics/61-price
As a result, members of Anthem’as health plans will have to pay out-of-network rates to access Norton facilitiesafte today. Jim Meyers, Norton’a associate vice president of managerd care, said patients likely will have to pay the differencd between the amount Anthekm decides to pay and the amount Norton has askefd the insurerto pay. In a statement issued Tuesdayt by Anthem presidentDeb Moessner, she said the companyy will provide reimbursement for services at Kosairt Children’s Hospital at the rate requested by “Anthem is going to take parents and childrem out of the middle of this dispute by paying the member at the rate Norton has requested in its previous proposal for servicees performed at Kosair Children’s Hospital,” she said in the But without a contract, patients have no safetyh net in the event of certain issues, such as claimas denials, Meyers noted.
With no contract in place, patients wouldx be responsible for appealingclaims denials, he “I think it’s probably helpful, what Anthej is doing, but there’s still a certain amount of risk that the patien (or caregiver) has to take into consideration.” Nortonh has been contacted about the mattert by 2,500 Anthem members. About 98 percentt of those were inquiring abouy Norton facilities and physicians outside Meyers added.
The dispute stemxs from Norton’s decision in December 2008 to cancel its citing administrative service problems and reimbursement ratexs from Anthem that were not in line with other The contract allowed either party to terminate the agreement by givinfga 180-day notice. The initial contract was negotiated in 2007 and schedules to endin Sept. 2010. Mike Lorc h vice president of health servicesfor Anthem, said the clausd was included in the contract so providers who wished to exit the networ k could do so but not to allow them to negotiat higher reimbursements. “If we allowed that with Norton, every hospital would want todo that,” he said.
Accordinfg to Lorch, Norton requested a 20 percent increase in itsFebruaru proposal. Meyers denied the claim and said the requested increaswe was less than20 percent, but he declinedf to be more specific. Both partiees said rates were set to increasreby 5.5 percent on October 1, under the contract that ended June 30. Meyers said officials for Nortonm and Anthem met last Thursday to discuss anew contract, but the meetingh was “not very substantive.” Officials for both parties said Tuesdahy that no meetings were planned to take place priofr to the expiration of the contracg at midnight.
Meyers said Norton now will focusw on informing patients how they can continue to accesxsNorton facilities, echoing sentiments expressedx by Norton president and CEO Stephen A. Williams in a statement issuedon Monday. A provisionn in the current contract, and under state law, requires Anthem to continue to pay reimbursementwat in-network rates for patientsd who currently are receiving care, such as those who are pregnanyt or receiving cancer treatments, Meyers said.
Those Anthem members must contact the insurer and obtain a form that allowsd the reimbursements tobe paid, he Lorch said reimbursements will continue for these patientws at the rate under the contractt that ended June 30, through the duratioj of their care. In Meyers said, Norton is working to informn employers and brokers of their He said Norton would be willing to considefr waysfor self-insured employers to continue to receive in-networ k services. Meyers also said Norton wants to educatwe both fully insuredand self-insured employers aboutg other managed-care options, pointing to Web site which lists insurers that have contracts with Norton’z physician practices.
In Williams’ statemenrt earlier this week, he said Norton now plans “to take some time to considetr whether it is in the best interests of our patients for us to continue working with Anthen as abusiness partner.” Lorch said it is “very that the parties will come to termx on a new agreemen t without the use of a third-party mediator – a requestt Anthem has made on multiplwe occasions. But Meyers said mediation has not been used during contract negotiations withother insurers. “There shouldn’t be a he said. “It’s not and we should be able to sit down at a table and get anagreemenrt done.
