How will I disrupt health care if I am Amazon or Chase Bank
I will start from home. My employees will be paid well with incentives to be healthy. Health insurance shall include many preventive health care from acupuncture, massage to free massage oil and nutritional supplements. I will offer healthy meals and free visits to complimentary and alternative medicine such as chiropractor, gym and health coaches.
There will be continuum of care from newborn to age 100 where health data can be tracked. There will be less medications but more on preventive and healing ways from exercises, sleep tools and more.
I will offer healthy and affordable tiny homes situated close to work to cut the need for longer commutes. Within the community, I will support other business and institutions such as day care, local parks and restaurants, and arts.
A community where sharing and volunteerism are rewarded and a 6- hour work day is the norm.
Residential care homes for the elderly will be close to day care and music/art center to provide a holistic environment for each member. Each one can be a mother or daughter for an hour to care for the young and old.
There are no boundaries. I will imitate what works in Europe and other countries with free health care and more healthy population. I will curb air pollution and toxic environment. There will be no food wastage from farm to table. Each farmer supports a community. Each community can then impact a healthy environment for all.

Opportunities to optimize health and empower full potential throughout the age continuum
Economic stability
In the bay area, some seniors rent out their rooms for additional income. Some seniors are still working. In Home Health Support services of Santa Clara county pays $13 per hour for caregivers for disabled or home-bound seniors and provide free health insurance and bus tickets to those who work part time as a non-medical health care provider or caregiver. Those with children who have good income get financial support from their children. Economic stability for the poor can be assessed from subsidized housing, free health care – Medicare and Medicaid and affordable caregiving from IHSS.
Brain health
Listening to music, dancing, adequate sleep, adequate exercise, Vitamin D, social network and support, massage, caring family members, less medication and proper nutrition (omega 3, see brain health in this blog) are keys to optimum brain health.

Caregiving Stories
Motherhealth caregivers, 408-854-1883, massage each senior to ease their pain and calm them. They are then accustomed to us as they know that we are there to care for them with love. Most of the seniors are abandoned at home. Their homes are more than 60 yrs old and they bought it for only $20,000 and now worth $1M. Some uses reverse mortgage to pay for their in home care expenses.
As we care for seniors in the bay area, we are happy that some family members are giving their time to care for their parents but some are tired and wanted to end their life early. We cannot give sub-lingual morphine to expire a patient who can still swallow her food, although she has Alzheimers for the last 10 years and is now 93 yrs of age. The doctors must diagnose the senior as terminally ill to be a hospice client. Many times when we stop the meds for hospice client, some of them lived for 2 more years.
Some hospice client hangs on to dear life since they still wanted to see the successes and adventures of their family especially their grandchildren.

Healthcare company to increase user satisfaction and reduce costs
Amazon, the world’s ubiquitous online store, revealed today it is collaborating with Warren Buffet, who heads Berkshire Hathaway, and the bank JPMorgan Chase to build an independent, nonprofit healthcare company with the goal of increasing user satisfaction and reducing costs.
The first order of business, the partners announced, is focusing on technology solutions that will provide U.S. employees and their families simplified, high-quality and transparent healthcare at a reasonable cost. They plan to draw on their combined capabilities and resources to take a fresh approach.
“The ballooning costs of healthcare act as a hungry tapeworm on the American economy,” Buffett said in a statement. “Our group does not come to this problem with answers. But we also do not accept it as inevitable.”
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos added that the partners are entering into the challenge aware that it will be difficult.
“Hard as it might be, reducing healthcare’s burden on the economy while improving outcomes for employees and their families would be worth the effort,” Bezos said in a statement. “Success is going to require talented experts, a beginner’s mind, and a long-term orientation.”
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon added that people want transparency and more control over their own healthcare and the partners intend to work toward that for their own employees initially and potentially for all Americans.

In-home caregivers can prevent re-admission and an important care team member
In-home caregivers can prevent re-admission and an important care team member
Hospitals are penalized for high re-admission rates. In home caregivers can prevent re-admission. Call 408-854-1883 for bay area in home caregivers. Caregivers work 24/7 and monitor the seniors at home providing preventive healing ways and emergency care prevention.
As a caregiver for my own mother with groin pain during the last few days, I was able to relieve her pain with home care from foot massage (massage oil mixed with lemon grass and eucalyptus essential oils), supplementation (Vitamin B, D, C, omega 3 and turmeric/ginger capsule), nutrition, and other caring ways.
Caregivers treat their clients like family. Motherhealth caregivers send text to their care coordinators and family members of the client for every day needs and health issues.
Each new caregiver is trained for the health needs and daily care routine of the client as written down in a daily journal by each caregiver.
Current medications are observed for side effects and efficacy.
There are many more intangible benefits of having a caregiver. Cost is an issue in the bay area that is why some seniors do reverse mortgage to pay for their in home care. Those who can afford can apply for support from Santa Clara In Home Health Support Services which pay our caregivers $13 per hour and the family pays for the difference.
Standard Mileage Rates for 2018 Up from Rates for 2017
Standard Mileage Rates for 2018 Up from Rates for 2017
WASHINGTON ― The Internal Revenue Service today issued the 2018 optional standard mileage rates used to calculate the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.
Beginning on Jan. 1, 2018, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be:
- 54.5 cents for every mile of business travel driven, up 1 cent from the rate for 2017.
- 18 cents per mile driven for medical or moving purposes, up 1 cent from the rate for 2017.
- 14 cents per mile driven in service of charitable organizations.
The business mileage rate and the medical and moving expense rates each increased 1 cent per mile from the rates for 2017. The charitable rate is set by statute and remains unchanged.
The standard mileage rate for business is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile. The rate for medical and moving purposes is based on the variable costs.
Taxpayers always have the option of calculating the actual costs of using their vehicle rather than using the standard mileage rates.
A taxpayer may not use the business standard mileage rate for a vehicle after using any depreciation method under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) or after claiming a Section 179 deduction for that vehicle. In addition, the business standard mileage rate cannot be used for more than four vehicles used simultaneously. These and other requirements are described in Rev. Proc. 2010-51.
Notice 2018-03, posted today on IRS.gov, contains the standard mileage rates, the amount a taxpayer must use in calculating reductions to basis for depreciation taken under the business standard mileage rate, and the maximum standard automobile cost that a taxpayer may use in computing the allowance under a fixed and variable rate plan.
