ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter marks his 96th birthday Thursday, the latest milestone for the longest lived of the 44 men to hold the highest American office.Carter planned to celebrate at his home in Plains, Georgia, with his wife of 74 years, Rosalynn Carter, according to a spokeswoman for the Carter Center in Atlanta.The 39th president, in office from 1977-81, has largely receded from the public eye amid the coronavirus pandemic and his own health challenges due to a series of falls in 2019. He previously survived a dire cancer diagnosis in 2015.Yet Carter remains a quiet force still active in both politics at home and, through his post-presidential center, in public health and human rights advocacy around the world. 751

As the nationwide unemployment rate continues to sit in unprecedented territory, the dramatic job loss numbers also mean millions of Americans have suddenly found themselves without health insurance.Experts call it a cruel twist during the pandemic, meaning many people who get sick with COVID-19 may not get the health care help they need because they don’t have coverage.“We have massive numbers of people who are worried about their health but who no longer have coverage,” said Michelle Johnson, who oversees the nonprofit Tennessee Justice Center.Johnson says calls to her organization have increased dramatically in the last few months as Americans are finding themselves uninsured after losing their jobs due to COVID-19.“We’re just going to continue seeing people who are losing their insurance,” she said.According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, nearly 27 million people in the United States may have lost employer-sponsored insurance. Roughly half of Americans receive health insurance through their jobs. And while programs like COBRA allow people who have been laid off to continue their coverage, many can’t afford to pay those costs with no income.Johnson says the problem is particularly troubling in state’s like hers where Medicaid expansion already meant there were hundreds of thousands of residents who were uninsured.She hopes the federal government might consider opening enrollment in the Affordable Care Act to help those who have suddenly lost coverage.Johnson’s biggest concern though, is the consequences may prove deadly as those without coverage now avoid trips to the doctor or emergency room for fear of getting stuck with bills they can’t afford.“People will delay getting the care they need because they’re worried about being a financial burden,” said Johnson. 1804

AURORA, Colo. -- An undercover investigation by Scripps station KMGH in Denver has revealed another unlicensed person practicing health care in defiance of multiple state cease and desist orders handed down by regulators. A February KMGH?revealed 28 people had received such cease and desist orders from state regulators, but the state did little to ensure they actually stopped, and most never faced criminal charges. One of those people was Alfredo Ruiz, also known as Alfredo Ruiz Rueda, who received cease and desist orders from the Colorado Medical Board in 2013 and again in 2017. A search of the state’s professional license database shows Ruiz does not hold any kind of license in Colorado. In the orders, the board said Ruiz used laser equipment only appropriate for licensed medical professionals, and ordered him to stop providing skin injections.State records show Ruiz previously operated clinics called CI Laser Clinic and Central Integral de Belleza y Salud in the Denver area.It appeared Ruiz closed his clinics after receiving each order, but KMGH recently called the number posted online for those clinics and discovered Ruiz had reopened his business at another location.A producer left a message and received a phone call back in Spanish and a text with the clinic’s new address. The producer made an appointment for a Botox treatment.  Outside of the clinic’s door, a sign is posted listing various skin care services, injections and laser treatments in Spanish along with Ruiz’s name. Two KMGH producers brought hidden cameras into the office to speak to Ruiz about Botox.  When asked if he was a doctor, Ruiz responded affirmatively multiple times. He said he had 12 years experience and estimated he sees 10 patients per day. He showed the producers needles he would use to administer Botox, and he estimated one 28-year-old producer would likely need extra treatment costing between 5-0. When confronted after the appointment by KMGH reporter Ryan Luby, Ruiz claimed he was a doctor in Mexico. He also pointed out the certificates -- not state licenses -- on his wall indicating he had completed laser training. Ruiz indicated he works under the supervision of two licensed doctors whose names were posted on the sign outside of his clinic. Neither doctor was present in the office. When KMGH reached one of the doctors by phone, he said he had not worked with Ruiz in years and was surprised to learn his name was posted at the office. The other doctor could not be reached.When KMGH returned to the office days after the initial confrontation, the sign bearing the names of the other two doctors had been removed from the door, but the sign with Ruiz’s name and the services he offers remained. State rules allow some unlicensed individuals to provide medical-aesthetic treatmentThe state does allow for some “medical-aesthetic services” including laser treatment and injections to be administered by unlicensed individuals under the close supervision of a licensed physician.The medical board’s rules for such agreements requires documentation of the arrangement be “available to the public at the site where the delegated medical services are performed.” Ruiz did not produce any such documentation nor was it readily visible in his office.The board’s rules also require that patients are fully informed of such arrangements and sign forms affirming they have been made aware they are receiving care from an unlicensed person. “When the delegating physician is not actively involved in the patient encounter, the disclosure shall include: the service the patient is receiving is a medical service; the delegatee of the service is not licensed by the state of Colorado or is acting beyond the scope of his or her Colorado license, certification or registration; the delegatee is providing the service pursuant to the delegated authority of a physician; and, the delegating physician is available personally to consult with them or provide appropriate evaluation or treatment in relation to the delegated medical services,” the rules say in part.KMGH’s undercover producers received no such information during their discussion with Ruiz about Botox treatments.   State regulators, police take actionThe Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) acted quickly upon learning from KMGH that Ruiz was still practicing. The state’s medical board convened an emergency meeting and the state obtained a temporary restraining order against Ruiz. The state also referred the case to law enforcement for potential criminal charges for the second time.In 2017, DORA alerted the Denver district attorney about Ruiz but the DA’s office did not pursue an investigation because his previous office was already closed.Aurora police are now investigating Ruiz’s latest clinic, which police say is now vacant. Attorney General subpoenas KMGH again The office of Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman sent subpoenas to KMGH seeking its video and a producer’s testimony to present as evidence in court as it seeks a permanent injunction against Ruiz. That marked the second time the state has subpoenaed KMGH’s investigative materials as evidence in court to seek court orders against unlicensed individuals.Last month, a KMGH producer testified in court in response to a subpoena in injunctive proceedings against Randy Flynt, who claimed to be a clinical psychologist and kept his office open more than a year after the state issued three cease and desist orders against him. In that case, the attorney general’s office played a portion of KMGH’s undercover video in court and the judge granted the temporary injunction. Pueblo police have also issued a warrant for Flynt’s arrest.In the Ruiz case, an injunction hearing is set for April 23. DORA is making changes DORA said it is making numerous improvements to its process for handling unlicensed individuals in the wake of KMGH’s investigation – changes first ordered by Governor John Hickenlooper in the days after the initial stories aired.The changes include: 6166

At Uptown Wines, Beer & Spirits, sales have surged since the COVID-19 crisis started and are expected to rise even more during the holidays.“Last time I’ve seen sales like this, it would be considered New Year’s, Thanksgiving and Halloween night,” said beer specialist Wiley Deerman.Deerman says with more people quarantined at home many started stocking up on alcohol to-go.“We’ve seen a lot of these half-sized bottles, the sales have increased on those,” he said.Now, new research from Vanderbilt University shows not only are more people drinking alcohol and abusing other drugs during the pandemic, but that this increase could create new addicts as well.“You’re seeing an increase in drinking, in drug use in people at home. When the pandemic’s over, this isn’t going to go away," said Erin Calipari, Ph.D., with the Vanderbilt Center for Addiction Research.Calipari’s team conducted the study, which shows addiction triggers during the COVID-19 crisis could make the holiday season even worse for many adults struggling with sobriety.To help fight this problem, Calipari says America needs the same kind of investment in battling addiction as is being put into solving the pandemic.“Addiction kills just as many people as the pandemic has this year and we haven’t done the same thing,” she said. “We’ve kind of, you know, funded it a little bit but we haven’t had this community investment and this kind of global revelation that this is a problem that we should be solving.”Without proper attention, Calipari predicts addiction cases will continue to increase across the country, even after there’s a cure for COVID-19.“This isn’t going to go away when we get the vaccine or solve the pandemic,” she said. “This is going to be a kind of long-term problem that we’re going to have to deal with as a society.”A very costly problem both in money and human lives.That’s why Deerman’s business focuses on more than making a buck, saying the best way to serve his community is to sometimes actually not serve them at all.“There’s times where we have to say, ‘Look, I think you need to cut back, take it easy. we care about you,’” he said.Care about stopping an addiction before it even starts. 2203
