Louisiana Senate Committee Narrowly Approves Provider 'Conscience' Bill
The Louisiana Senate Health and Welfare Committee on Wednesday approved a bill (H.B. 517) that would expand the ability of health care workers to refuse to provide services for moral or religious reasons, the Baton Rouge Advocate reports. The bill passed by a 3-2 vote after the addition of amendments to narrow the scope of the legislation. According to the Advocate, the bill would allow a medical worker to choose not to participate in any service "that violates his conscience," which it defines as a religious belief or moral conviction. Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) supports the legislation, as do conservative groups like the Louisiana Family Forum and the Louisiana Right to Life Federation. Several groups oppose the bill, including Planned Parenthood, the Forum for Equality, Louisiana Agenda for Children and the American Civil Liberties Union. ACLU of Louisiana"s Marjorie Esman said that the bill could "lead to all kinds of unintended consequences," based on assertions of moral and religious objections (Blum, Baton Rouge Advocate, 6/11).

Administration To Pitch Health Reform In "Model" Community

President Obama and top advisers will travel to Green Bay Thursday - "one of the highest-value health communities in the nation" - to promote health reform in a town-hall meeting, the Washington Post reports. "In his drive to rein in skyrocketing health-care costs, Obama is increasingly focused on wasteful medical care," the Post reports. The administration"s budget director, Peter Orszag, told the Post, "If we could make the rest of the nation practice medicine the way that Green Bay does, we would have higher quality and significantly lower costs." Obama"s new focus is driven in part by researchers at the Dartmouth (Health) Atlas Project who study variations in cost and quality across communities around the country. "[T]he differences that are really important are due to the differences in utilization rates," one researcher told the Post. Communities that use more medicine tend to cost more, and some evidence indicates that excessive care can actually be harmful, experts said (Connolly, 6/11).
