=
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The Secretary of Health and Human Services has declared that a public health emergency existed nationwide in response to the attacks of September 11th and in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, since 2000. Nearly sixteen percent of Americans live without health care. What this bill is trying to do is that during Hurricane Katrina, or other hurricanes yet to come, all of the victims who need medical help will receive it during the emergency only. The F.E.M.A. organization has set up plans to try to help the victims in a hurricane by giving them tips on how to stay safe. If this bill can try to get health care to citizins who really need it, they are going to try to reduce the sixteen percent without health insurance during an emergency. The uninsured could place great financial strain on healthcare providers during a public health emergency. To eliminate a primary disincentive for uninsured and certain otherwise qualified individuals to promptly seek medical care during a public health emergency. To minimize delays in the provision of emergency healthcare coverage by clarifying eligibility requirements and the scope of such coverage and identifying the funding mechanisms for emergency healthcare services. Here are two main porposes for this bill. 1. It wants to provide temporary emergency healthcare coverage for ununsured and certain otherwise qualified individuals in the event of a public health emergency declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. 2. To make sure that health care providers are not trying to overburden to cost of uncompensated care during a public emergency. ======

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Nearly sixteen percent of Americans lack health insurance coverage. There has been a lot of problems with people not getting the health care services they need durning an emergency. Even if they can't afford it and a public emergincy happens to them, like Hurricane Katrina, they should be treated for their medical problems. Fears of out-of-pocket expenses may cause individuals to delay seeking medical attention during a public health emergency.This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. It still has a House bill number and it hasn't reached it to senate. Fears of out-of-pocket expences my cause citizins to not seek the health care they need durning a public emergency. What it is saying is that people who don't have great health care, are not getting treated for their health needs during a public emergency. ======
