Health information services provider WebMD Health Corp., US, has announced the launch of a new online resource to help Americans better understand the healthcare reform provisions. WebMD's healthcare reform resource presents a series of exclusive video interviews with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius as well as in-depth editorial coverage, blogs, community and interactive polls.
WebMD asked its audience to send in questions about healthcare reform that they wanted Secretary Sebelius to address. A selection of the questions submitted by WebMD's community and the Secretary's responses are available at www.webmd.com/healthcarereform. WebMD's healthcare reform coverage also includes in-depth news articles, community discussions and a new blog.
Medscape, which attracts more than two million physician visits every month, is also featuring an exclusive video interview with Secretary Sebelius where she responds to clinicians' questions on healthcare reform and clarifies which changes could impact their practices. In addition to the interview, Medscape's extensive healthcare reform coverage includes the latest news and features from Medscape's editorial team, a blog dedicated to healthcare reform, expert video commentaries including two from Secretary Sebelius, as well as polls and discussions in Medscape Physician Connect, an online community for physicians. Medscape's healthcare reform coverage is available at www.medscape.com/resource/healthcare-reform.
According to a newly-released WebMD poll of consumers on WebMD.com and healthcare professionals on Medscape.com regarding healthcare reform provisions, consumers ranked preventive care as the top issue, followed by restrictions on annual or lifetime limits and the cancellation of coverage. When polled on which provisions will most affect their practice, healthcare professionals on Medscape also chose preventive care without co-pay and deductible.
