Senate Democrats Meet With White House Adviser To Craft Response To Republican Criticism On Health Reform
Senate Democrats on Wednesday worked with senior White House adviser David Axelrod to craft a health care message focused on affordability and choice, the AP/Contra Costa Times reports (Werner, AP/Contra Costa Times, 5/13). The meeting followed the release of a memo last week by Republican strategist Frank Luntz outlining how to criticize Democratic plans for health reform (Budoff Brown/McGrane, Politico, 5/13). Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) said Luntz"s memo was "an interesting catalyst for us" (AP/Contra Costa Times, 5/13).Axelrod presented Democrats with polling data about what U.S. residents are seeking from a health care overhaul and discussed better word choices, such as "shared responsibility" rather than "mandates" for coverage requirements. According to CongressDaily, the meeting centered Democrats on a coordinated message that the U.S. health care system must be affordable and accessible and should be patient-focused (Edney/Condon, CongressDaily, 5/13). Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) said that many Democrats felt "unease that we did not have a strategy" to answer the attacks coming from Republicans (Pear, New York Times, 5/14). Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said, "Everybody in the room had been a little nervous that, "Gee, Democrats don"t have their act together"" (CongressDaily, 5/13). However, Bayh said that "Axelrod came to reassure us that they do have a strategy" (New York Times, 5/14). Durbin said, "This is an effort to coordinate our message so we present a health care reform effort the American people trust" (Armstrong, CQ Today, 5/13). According to Durbin, Axelrod emphasized that Democrats should continue with the campaign theme that the goal of an overhaul is to "fix what"s broken in the system and preserve what"s good" (Young, The Hill, 5/13).Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said, "We believe the public shares our views. But we don"t want to be overwhelmed by either res, messaging or boots on the ground." He added, "We won"t make the mistake of 1993-94." According to the New York Times, a plan developed by the administration of former President Clinton "collapsed" in the face of Republican criticism (New York Times, 5/14).

Terrence Higgins Trust Opens A New HIV And Sexual Health Centre In Nottingham

On 30 July sexual health and HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) will officially open its new centre in Nottingham. The charity has been based in the city since February 2008 from its old site in Lace Market. THT"s new centre on 23 Barker Gate, which is funded by NHS Nottingham City, NHS Nottinghamshire County, Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council will offer a wider range of services to support people living with HIV and help prevent the rising rates of sexual ill-health. New services include a weekly clinic offering rapid HIV testing and screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This free and confidential service will run every Friday from 4-7pm. The HIV test involves taking a finger-prick blood test which is analysed straight away, with the results provided within one hour. Testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and C will also be offered. Those who attend the clinic will be given information and advice before and after testing, and those who test positive for Chlamydia and Gonhorrea will be offered treatment. Anyone who receives a positive result for another sexually transmitted infection will be referred to their local NHS services. Sexual health advice and information will be available at the clinic alongside information on the range of services available for people living with HIV, including counselling and peer support. Other services at THT"s new centre include: - Health promotion outreach work focused on preventing HIV from being passed on - Support groups and health advice for people living with HIV - One to one advice - General information on sexually transmitted infections - Condoms and safer sex information - Counselling for people living with or affected by HIV - Support for children and families affected by HIV - Complementary therapies including aromatherapy, reflexology and Indian head massages for people living with HIV Mick Mason, Centre Manager for THT in Nottingham said: "We"re delighted to be opening our service in the heart of the city. It will now be much easier for people living with HIV to get all the help and support they need under one roof. Our new home also means we can provide a testing clinic for people living across Nottingham. With approximately one in four people living with HIV unaware that they have the virus, it"s crucial that we do all we can to make it easier and quicker to have an HIV test. Deborah Hooton, Head of Sexual Health Commissioning for NHS Nottingham City, said: ""The services provided by THT will be invaluable to the local population living with or affected by HIV. THT will enhance further the local network of Sexual Health Services in Nottingham that offer many choices to the local communities on where to access their care for Sexual Health issues.""
