The Affordable Health Care Act continues to change our country’s and our state’s health-

care system. Since it was signed into law in 2010, some changes have already occurred, some will go into effect this year, and still others will take place next year. Here are some highlights.

Young Adults and Health InsuranceThis change has already taken place and several sources say that this is one of the more popular reforms that emerged from the Affordable Health Care Act.

All health plans must allow young adults to remain as dependents on their parents’ health plan until they turn 26, whether or not they live at home or can be declared as dependents on the parents’ income tax return.

“This is a highly popular feature of the Affordable Health Care Act,” says Dr. Greg Kutcher, President and CEO of Mayo Clinic Health System’s Southwest Minnesota Region.

Indeed, an estimated 6.6 million young adults nationwide who would otherwise be uninsured have gained coverage during the fi rst year of eligibility, according to a recent analysis by the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofi t health policy think tank.

As Kutcher points out, this change refl ects how our country’s culture has changed. “There is a longer launch period for young adults to go from education into a life-career pathway.”

ExchangesConsumer Reports recently reported that, by this summer or fall, every state must have an insurance exchange—an organized marketplace where individuals and small-business owners can view, compare and purchase qualifi ed private health plans. States have the option of setting up exchanges themselves or allowing the federal government to do the job.

Minnesota may opt to create its own exchange and recently launched a new website to connect with more than 1 million Minnesotans who are expected to use the new marketplace to get coverage.

As the St. Paul Pioneer Press recently reported, the new site is designed to provide Minnesotans with up-to-date information about how to take advantage of the exchange. It includes a video and a benefi ts calculator that will tell individuals if they’re eligible for tax credits. About 300,000 previously

uninsured Minnesotans and 200,000 small-business employees will gain coverage through the exchange.

However, the state legislature must fi rst pass a law to create the exchange.

And, some are concerned about the cost. Senate Minority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, recently told the Star Tribune that he considers the exchanges expensive and unnecessary and would rather see Minnesota join the 30 other states that are refusing to come up with their own exchange plans

in protest. “...there are 30 states that elected not to [create their own exchanges] and I frankly think that’s a better idea.”

Some state government projections estimate that the insurance exchange may cost about $54 million to operate.

Visit the state health exchange website at www.mn.gov/hix.

Guaranteed IssueThis takes effect Jan. 1, 2014, and is one of the most visible pieces of recent health care reform: Health plans must sell coverage to everyone, regardless of pre-existing conditions, and can’t charge more based on health or gender.

However, how this reform will actually play out is still unknown. “The proof will be in the pudding,” says Mayo’s Dr. Kutcher. “No longer will insurance companies be able to charge for health insurance based on things such as pre-existing conditions...the question, though, is what’s it going to cost to buy insurance...we don’t know what insurance will cost” at this point for either high or low deductible plans.

Individual MandateAlso beginning next year, everyone will be required to have health insurance or

pay a penalty. According to Consumer Reports, almost any legitimate coverage will satisfy the mandate, such as private insurance obtained on your own or through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs, etc.

Again, according to Dr. Kutcher, the actual cost is an unknown. “The Individual Mandate is a big deal, but it will be hard for people to make decisions on how they will meet [the mandate] when they don’t know what the costs will be.” Those costs could include items such as the cost of individual insurance policies or the overall health care costs that individuals may need to pay for out of their own pocket.

The Road AheadAs health care consumers navigate these and other changes, Dr. Kutcher advises keeping in mind the forces that brought us to these reforms. “Health care in the United States has improved dramatically over the last couple of decades. The number of diseases and related issues we can help people with has improved dramatically. But the cost has become an issue.”

Indeed the cost issue is why health care reform is occurring. Further, a number of these recent changes may in fact be “steps to somewhere else,” and may be temporary and evolving, Dr. Kutcher says. “Consumers have to understand that how we deliver health care is changing, and how they as consumers access care is changing, too.”

This immunization schedule, published online by kidshealth.

org, may vary depending upon where you live, your child’s health, the type of vaccine and the vaccines available. Some of the vaccines may be given as part of a combination vaccine so that your child gets fewer shots. Ask your doctor which vaccines your child should receive.

Birth• HBV: Hepatitis B vaccine; recommended to give the fi rst dose at birth, but may be given at any age for those not previously immunized.

1-2 months• HBV: Second dose should be administered 1 to 2 months after the fi rst dose.

2 months• DTaP: Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine

• Hib: Haemophilus infl uenzae type b vaccine

• IPV: Inactivated poliovirus vaccine

• PCV: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

• Rota: Rotavirus vaccine

4 months• DTaP

• Hib

• IPV

• PCV

• Rota

6 months• DTaP

• Hib

• PCV

• Rota: This third dose may

be needed, depending on the brand of vaccine used in previous immunizations.

6 months and annually• Infl uenza: The vaccine is recommended every year for children 6 months and older. Kids under 9 who get a fl u vaccine for the fi rst time will receive it in two separate doses at least a month apart. Those younger than 9 who have been vaccinated in the past might still need two doses if they have not received at least two fl u vaccinations since July 2010.

Kids 6 months to 5 years old are still considered the group of kids who most need the fl u vaccine, but updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommend that all older kids and teens get it, too.

It’s especially important for high-risk kids to be vaccinated. High-risk groups include, but aren’t limited to, kids younger than 5 years old, and those with chronic medical conditions, such as asthma, heart problems, sickle cell anemia, diabetes or human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV).

It can take up to 2 weeks after the shot is given for the body to build up immunity against the fl u.

6-18 months• HBV

• IPV

12-15 months• Hib

• MMR: Measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles) vaccine

• PCV

• Chickenpox (varicella)

12-23 months• HAV: Hepatitis A vaccine; given as two shots at least six months apart

15-18 months • DTaP

4-6 years• DTaP

• MMR

•IPV

• Varicella

11-12 years• HPV: Human papillomavirus vaccine, given as 3 shots over 6 months. It’s recommended for both girls and boys to prevent genital

warts and certain types of cancer.

• Tdap: Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis booster. Also recommended during each pregnancy a woman has.

• Meningococcal vaccine: And a booster dose is recommended at age 16.

College entrants• Meningococcal vaccine: Recommended for previously unvaccinated college students who will live in dormitories. One dose will suffi ce for healthy college students whose only risk factor is dorm living.

Special circumstances• HAV is recommended for kids 2 years and older who have not received the vaccine and are at increased risk of developing hepatitis A. This includes kids who live in states or will travel to countries where the disease is common.

• Meningococcal vaccine can be given to kids as young as 2 months old who are at risk of contracting meningococcal disease, such as meningitis. This includes children with certain immune disorders as well as those who live in (or are planning to travel to) countries where meningitis is common. This vaccine also should be given to teens 13 and older who did not receive it in childhood.

• Pneumococcal vaccines also can be given to older kids (age 2 and up) who have immunocompromising conditions, such as asplenia or HIV infection, or other conditions, like a cochlear implant.

25 Top Heart-Healthy FoodsThese items are loaded with heart-healthy nutrients that help protect your cardiovascular system.

HEALTHY AGING

Be a Healthy Boomer

Consider this 5-step action plan for keeping your heart healthy

Exercise your heart by staying active.Increasing your heart rate through daily exercise can help keep your heart healthy and help you live longer. Good heart-healthy activities include walking, swimming and bicycling. Stay motivated by exercising with a friend.

Eat heart-healthy foods.Fresh fruits and vegetables are fantastic for heart health—make it your goal to eat a variety of colors every day. Whole grains and fi sh rich in omega-3 fatty acids are good choices also. See sidebar on heart-healthy foods.

Consult your doctor about heart-healthy supplements. As we age, sometimes our bodies can’t absorb vitamins and minerals as well as when we were younger. Many people take vitamin D and a low-dose aspirin daily once they hit their 50s or 60s. Ask your doctor for recommendations.

Schedule your annual physical. An annual physical is the cornerstone of preventative care. At your appointment, make sure you get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked. Have your doctor

By YourWellness.mn Staff

You’ve probably heard this one before: there’s no time like the present to discuss the future. This is especially

the case when making estate plans and evaluating potential fi nancial decisions you’ll need to make for those you leave behind.

With this thought in mind, here are some tips to consider as you do your estate planning.

Wills and TrustsDo your homework now to better understand the differences between wills and trusts and taxable and non-taxable accounts and assets, advises Bruce Primeau, founding partner of Summit Wealth Advocates in Prior Lake. “They are similar, both [wills and trusts] direct those who are left behind as to how to distribute your assets.”

The big difference, though, is that a will is public, a trust is private—a will needs to go through the probate court process, a trust does not. Accordingly, think about the taxable and non-taxable accounts and assets

you’re likely to leave behind and whether those should be included in a will or trust.

These can include a wide range of items, says Primeau. Taxable accounts and assets typically include savings and checking accounts, a house and vehicles such as cars and boats. Tax-deferred accounts and assets could be items such as an IRA or a company 401(k).

These don’t have to go through probate because benefi ciaries are usually already named, Primeau explains. In addition, you may have tax-free accounts, such as Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k) accounts.

Estate Tax ConsiderationsUnder current tax law, Primeau says, in Minnesota, the state estate tax limit is anything over $1 million per person. For federal estate taxes, the limit is $5.25 million per person. This means that you

would be exempted from estate taxes if your estate is less than those fi gures.

These are important numbers to consider as you put together an estate plan that’s based on what your net worth is and your various levels of assets.

Benefi ciary reviewA common mistake people make is failing to

update benefi ciary designations.

Jason Hombach, fi nancial advisor with the Edward Jones offi ce in Jordan, recommends to his clients that they review “at least annually” benefi ciary designations, “and that’s on everything,” Hombach says, such as company retirement plans, bank accounts, life insurance policies, etc.

“Time passes, things change, people get divorced, people pass away, kids grow up,” Hombach says. “What might have been appropriate when you were 30 is

now not necessarily appropriate when you’re 60.”

Consult a professionalEstate planning and all of the laws associated with inheriting assets are complex propositions. That’s why the last tip is: consult with fi nancial professionals. They can help guide you through the whole process.

For more information, contact Bruce Primeau at Summit Wealth Advocates at 612-987-9112, or Jason Hombach and Edward Jones at 952-492-3003.

“Caregiver” is a title held by more than 65 million

people in the United States, who are currently helping a loved one manage a chronic condition. A caregiver can be a signifi cant help for those living with a chronic disease as part of a patient’s health care team, but there can also be many challenges. Not only do caregivers provide emotional strength and support, but often also help a patient with daily needs, such as fi lling prescriptions or scheduling doctors’ appointments.

Here are some answers from several health care sources, including Dr. Eric Feldman of Weill Cornell Medical College, to a few commonly asked questions about caregiving.

How can caregivers manage their role as part of the patient’s health care team?Being a caregiver can be overwhelming, and some important tips include:

Educating yourself: Staying well-informed about your loved one’s condition will make you a more valuable resource for them. Knowing about the disease, including being familiar with related medications and how they work, can help you to be an active participant in ongoing treatment discussions.

Helping track results: Creating a “results journal,” which is dedicated to storing test results, along with the patient’s testing dates, can help the patient keep track of this information.

Joining a caregiver support group: Caregivers are urged to connect with others going through similar experiences as an opportunity to learn new ways to help a loved one. These same connections can also be a source of emotional support.

What is the most important tip?It’s important to not forget about yourself—even if it means sometimes saying “no” to your loved one. When balancing the

needs of the patient, it can be easy to forget your own. One of the most common challenges is stress, but being stressed can also make it harder for you to provide care. So make sure to take time for yourself. This will help you be there to help your loved one as best as you can.

What about advice for long-distance caregiving?Providing care doesn’t have to be reserved to only those family members and friends who live closest to the patient. For those who live farther away, some suggestions include:

Planned visits: Seeing your loved one in person, as often as your schedule allows, can be a very important way to show your support for the patient and also for those caregivers who live closest. Be sure to talk with them ahead of time about what you may be able to do to help. Just because you live a greater

distance from the patient, doesn’t have to mean that you cannot be an integral part of their support network. Having a plan in place will keep you from getting overwhelmed and stressed.

Think creatively: For patients and caregivers, it is important to have honest and open discussions with health care providers so they can play a more active role in disease management. For family members/caregivers who live far away, this can be a challenge. If you cannot attend appointments in person, consider discussing with your loved one ways in which you can be more involved with their scheduled appointments by phone or teleconference. The patient’s doctor may also offer creative ways for you to be more involved.
