The death of Robert Bork this past December brought forth tributes to a man bearing no resemblance to the grotesque caricatures that emerged during the long debate over his 1987 nomination to the Supreme Court. Widely noted were his unswerving loyalty to friends and principles, his seminal intellect, his acerbic but not unkind humor and wit, and his lifelong sense of service and duty to his country. Yet his life will never be free from the controversy that trails those who actually have something to say. The dust jacket of this book, a memoir of his service in the Nixon administration, shows a young Bork with cigarette in hand and his trademark red beard. Had he stopped smoking and started shaving, some things might have turned out better for him; but then again, that wouldn't have been Bob. His willingness to buck convention was his strength. He lived life on his terms. The enigma that was Richard Nixon will always tantalize historians. Bork's view of him is largely respectful, but also clear-eyed. Nixon possessed the gift of high intelligence, and was capable of penetrating strategic insights, especially in foreign affairs. He was also insecure and paranoid. The tragedy of it all was that these latter traits seeped down into his administration, with well-known consequences. Bork recounts meeting with his friend, Yale law professor Alexander Bickel, to mull over an offer from the White House that Bork resign his position as solicitor general and take charge of Nixon's Watergate defense. He and his wife Claire "collected Bickel and turned around to head home."
When we reached our street, Turkey Run Road, I suggested that Claire stop the car so Bickel and I could get out and walk the dark, semi-rural road home. It's an indication of the paranoia of the time that I really wanted to be someplace where it was impossible to be overheard.
On another occasion, Bork and Attorney General Elliot Richardson visit the White House to discuss the timing of indictments against Vice President Spiro Agnew for taking bribes. The two duck into the bathroom on the way to the Oval Office, and "as soon as the door to the men's room closed behind us, Richardson turned on all the faucets in the expectation that the noise of running water would make our conversation inaudible if anybody was eavesdropping electronically." Good grief! Granted that Washington is a city of schemers, how is government to function at this level of mistrust? The idea that such precautions may have actually been necessary is all the more unsettling. The entire "atmosphere and the level of distrust" in the Nixon White House had, in Bork's view, "an air of low comedy about it." Bork served both Nixon and Gerald Ford as solicitor general, an office within the Department of Justice which possesses both high prestige and a dual personality. The solicitor general's chief, though not sole, duty is to represent the government before the U.S. Supreme Court. Both the solicitor general and his principal deputy are political appointees, and the office thus naturally reflects an administration's priorities. But if the office becomes too closely entwined with the president's political agenda, it forfeits its claim to neutrality under law and its very credibility before the Court. Bork was not, by nature, a political animal. He had a high opinion of democracy as a system but a rather low opinion of politicians as a breed—an attitude that unfortunately was not sufficiently disguised in his Senate confirmation hearings. Bork spent much of his life trying to separate law from the corrupting influences of politics. When he became solicitor general in June 1973, he understandably anticipated a job that would be any great lawyer's dream. The irony was that events thrust this politically pristine soul into the most politicized environment a solicitor general had ever experienced. As Bork puts it, he had to
respond to Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas's order that our military stop bombing in Cambodia, file briefings for the prosecution of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew for taking bribes while governor of Maryland, discharge Archibald Cox as special prosecutor in the Watergate affair, and secure the continuity of the Watergate investigation until we found a replacement for Cox. Thankfully, I was spared from dealing with the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, which occupied others in the administration at the time.

Jared Lee Loughner, who killed six people and injured thirteen others (including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords) last year near Tucson, cut a deal yesterday: By agreeing to plead guilty to perpetrating the massacre, federal prosecutors in return spared the 23-year-old from the death penalty.
The New York Times gushingly describes how President Obama's unique background — he's "a man from many worlds," "a transcender of tribes," and, yes, "a former constitutional law professor" — has allowed him to unearth a creative "middle way" on the question of redefining marriage. That "middle way," according to the Times's account, is to come o
On February 9, the Spanish supreme court unanimously ruled to disbar Baltasar Garzón, the Spanish judge who famously indicted former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet using the legal doctrine of universal jurisdiction, for ordering illegal wiretaps.
A judge that President Obama nominated for a district court bench "has thrown out a Louisiana law that bans certain sex offenders from Facebook and other social networking sites," WDSU reports. "U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson ruled Thursday that the prohibition—which took effect in August—was too broad and infringed on constitutionally protected speech."
President Obama's recent recess appointments have sparked no shortage of legal commentary. Does the president have the power to declare that the Senate is in "recess" in the middle of a session, and then to use his constitutional "recess appointment" power to install disfavored personnel at federal agencies?
The U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will hear a challenge to the Obamacare ruling issued by a 3-judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, the current U.S. solicitor general and former Harvard Law School dean Elena Kagan, is being touted as a "diversity" choice because she is a woman, while there are currently just two women on the Court in a country in which women make up more than half the population.

A 20-minute association with one of the country's most well-liked, mainstream evangelical preachers who happens to support traditional marriage cannot be countenanced and illustrates only the bigotry of those who would dare allow it.

How a Houston decorator sampled the kitchen that took gray from dreary to dreamy
In the music biz, producers and composers often use clips and bits of well known songs in new compositions. The practice, called "sampling," is widespread and artists acknowledge it. In the design world, the same process is called inspiration. We bloggers salt posts with it on a daily basis since making connections between influential designs is our portfolio. So I thought I would sketch out some similarities I observed between Martha Stewart's gray kitchen at her farm near posh Bedford, New York, and Houston decorator Sally's Wheat's much-lauded gray kitchen — especially since this color trend is picking up steam as an alternative to white's-always-right.
Sally Wheat and her kitchen rocketed to internet and subsequent magazine stardom following a pair of extensive, photo-driven house tours on Côte de Texas, the popular Houston-based blog, during 2008-09. Her use of Benjamin Moore's Fieldstone Gray as the colorway [above] became blog "news" and an object of significant drooling as photos ricocheted around public internet forums and flickr photosets.
While the Wheat house and kitchen was described in articles as Belgian-inspired, Ms. Stewart's tilts toward New England. Yet details of the Wheat kitchen appear to directly connect to Stewart's — beginning with the general color to the white marble countertops, open shelving with brackets and even the bar stools. Nothing wrong with that, of course.
The principal color of Martha's Stewart's Texas-size kitchen – some 750-square feet — is her own hometown Bedford Gray paint, previously by Valspar and now in her line at Home Depot. That hue launched the trend and has remained a force in taking gray as a kitchen color from dreary to dreamy. Then along came Sally, as the photos detail.

Having blown everyone away with their adaptation of The Walking Dead, Telltale Games has returned to the comic book world for the source material to adapt into their next adventure game masterpiece. This time, DC Entertainment/Vertigo's Fables has been brought to videogame life as The Wolf Among Us. Episode One has just been released for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and after the jump, I'll help you decide if it's worth picking up!
If you aren't familiar with the comic series Fables, you really don't need to worry. The Wolf Among Us is a prequel taking place before Fables #1, so you don't need any more backstory than what the game provides. Although with Fable's rich universe, if you are familiar with the characters it's quite fun to see them brought to polygonal life. The premise is simple, but compelling. Driven out of their fairy tale lands, storybook characters like Snow White and Mr. Toad are forced to live in hiding in New York City. Bigby Wolf (previously known as The Big Bad Wolf) is the sheriff tasked with keeping the peace and keeping the Fables from being discovered by the Mundanes.
Episode One sets up the mystery, starting off with a violent encounter that is followed by a shocking murder, something that pretty much never happens in the Fable community. As Bigby Wolf, you must question suspects and uncover clues as your investigation unfolds. Of course, there are complications, because if there weren't, it wouldn't make for a very interesting story!
The game plays very much in line with Telltale's previous The Walking Dead. You'll move around the environment and scan the scene for interactive hot spots. Action sequences have been tweaked a bit, though. For instance, now during a fight scene, a red circle appears where you have to align the reticule over it (or near enough — it's pretty forgiving) and then press the trigger. But you have to be careful because sometimes it's the right trigger and other times it's the left! And of course, dialogue plays out as usual, with your four options appearing along with a countdown time that moves at varying speeds, ushering you to make a decision, sometimes faster than you might like.
Telltale's games alter the story depending on how you play, so your choices will have consequences. Refuse to help a character, and they'll probably remember that down the line at some point. (Likely when you're in desperate need of their help!) Of course, being the first episode, it's pretty much all choices with no consequences. Those will come later. The decisions you're making are more subtle here… well, except for one that turns out to have been a little more important than I'd believed… The alterations to the action gameplay are kind of an improvement, making the brawls rather entertaining. But being that you're playing a sheriff/cop/detective, it would have been nice to actually do some real detecting. While the story has branching pathways, it still plays out very linearly, so you never really feel like you've discovered clues and worked out a solution yourself. You're just kind of riding along as the game's story unfolds.
The graphics are stunning, continuing the use of cel shading to bring a comic book world to life, but the style is a little different from what they used for The Walking Dead. (As it should be!) And the animation continues to be fantastic, bringing these characters to life even through their subtlest facial expressions. Voice work is also solid, but again, that's to be expected from Telltale, as their productions are top notch. Just remember, this is a very mature-rated game based on a mature-rated comic book, so don't be too surprised when Mr. Toad starts dropping F-bombs! But these games all hinge on the story, and once again, this one is top notch. The mystery is intriguing, and the cliffhanger of this episode was literally jaw-dropping (at least for me!).
The Wolf Among Us is another quality adventure game from Telltale Games, and I'm thrilled that they're keeping this genre alive. Episode One is now available for Xbox 360, PS3, Mac, and PC, and there are discounted season passes available for each platform that will include all five episodes.
A review code for The Wolf Among Us: Episode One was provided by Telltale Games for the purposes of this review and played through to completion.

WOODLAND – Gusting winds fanned a fire at a house southeast of Woodland Monday morning that totally destroyed a rural home with falling temperatures and a chilling rain making conditions miserable for volunteer firefighters.
Dispatchers with 911 alerted local fire departments and paged out volunteer firefighters at 9:40 a.m., after they received a phone call from homeowners saying their house was on fire.
"We were dispatched to the home of Sonny Montgomery at 355 County Road 84," said Randall Yeatman, Fire Chief for Woodland Volunteer Fire Department, the primary department at Monday's fire. "Smoke was pouring from the house when we got there and the wind got into the fire and made things more difficult for us."
Yeatman said the structure was a total loss.
Firefighters were on the scene until 12:43 p.m. and were called back to the scene at 4 p.m. to wet down hotspots. The fire occurred as a fast moving cold front moved through the county Monday morning.
"Mr. Montgomery and his brother had just returned home when the discovered the fire," said Yeatman. "We were told by someone who arrived on the scene early that the fire started in the kitchen."
Yeatman said the exact cause of the fire was not known.
One end of the wood and brick FHA home collapsed as firefighters battled the blaze and wind pushed the fire through the rest of the house.
Yeatman said no one was hurt in the blaze.
"Everyone out there was cold and wet by the time we got the fire out," said Yeatman. "I want to thank everyone who responded to this fire in miserable conditions."
Yeatman said in addition to Woodland Volunteer Fire Department units from Montpelier, Rhodes Chapel and Houston also responded to the blaze.

How Much Do You Pay For Boarding?

We've only had Logan for a few months, but we always try to find a way to take him with us if we need to leave town. Just this past week, a friend was in an accident and hospitalized a few hours away for 5 days. Since he has no family in the area, my boyfriend and I decided to get a hotel near his hospital for a few days so we could go visit him and give him something to do besides think about his fractured spine. First thing we did was find a pet friendly hotel so Logan could come with us. We paid a one time pet fee of $25 (and a $0.78 "hotel check" fee when we left - weird). We only visited our friend twice a day for 2 hours at a time and that was the only time Logan had to spend in his crate, since we went right back to the hotel and got him for a nice walk by the lake or just hung out there with him. Much better than being boarded and only let out for 15 minutes a few times a day! If, for some reason, we ever couldn't take him we would try to find a friend or family to watch Logan. But if we had to board him, there are a few decent kennels in the area - it's just not my first choice of pet care for my pup!

I have boarded my boys twice. We took them to a cageless boarding facility where they have free roam of a huge room which has outside access. There is someone who sleeps on a cot in the middle of the room with them at night. And during business hours they have webcam access for all the owners to check up on their babies. Costs about 25.00/night for each. Even with all that I hate to board them. Just doesn't feel right.

I have a friend house-sit but when I was researching prior to going on vacation the costs were around 50 bucks a night! (keeping in mind that I live in the NYC area)

I have only had to board my dogs once. I have friends who will watch the dogs at my house. Since I started college I have found all kinds of sitters who love having the house to themselves. I'm so lucky to have two brothers that are reliable and trustworthy.

I actually have a pet sitting business and will watch animals in their owners homes overnight (or just do walks) and I actually hear from a lot of people that they would never board their doggies. It is good for me, because I love the business, but I would have to say if I had a dog I don't think I would board it either. I have toured some of the better ones in my area and I just cant get over them being in cages all day.

Wow. I can't say that I would ever board my dog. If he can go with me, I'm taking him. And if he can't, then I'll find a way to take him anyway.

I've never had to board Sadie, but she would go to the same place she goes to for daycare. It would cost $25.00 a day for regular boarding, or $35.00 a day for a luxury space?!?!? Yeah, I know I would pony up for luxury! They get to go to daycare which costs me $22.00 a day so it is practically a bargain!

I pay nothing. Cuba stays with one of his doxie friends when I have to travel. The one time I did board him, it was a horrible experience and I vowed never to do it again!

We've never had to board either dog. We always have friends and family willing to looking after the pooches. Axle's the type of dog that EVERYONE offers to babysit, and Newton has a select group of people that he likes so much, that they're willing to take him whenever. (Newton doesn't like other people much, but once he likes you, he LOVES you, and it's pretty hard to resist!)

Our vet used to do boarding for $15 a night. It was fabulous. Then they stopped offering boarding and all of the other kennels in or near Philly are SO expensive. The one we take him to now is $19 a night but other stuff, like play-time, etc., is a la carte, so since we don't want him to just be locked in a cage for a week, we always get him a "play package." So it's really about $40/night. It sucks. :(

The only time I've left B-Bop with anyone other then family, we found a dog sitter lady that took him into her home. I like that better for him and she charged us $20. When we went to Hawaii we left him with my parents so he could play with their dog for 2 weeks. They loved it

Usually I have a friend look after my pets while I am away. The only animal I have that needs to be boarded is my Double Yellow Head Amazon Parrot, Vree. Her boarding is $28 a night, for a large cage and play time. I've boarded a dog before with a regular kennel, I don't remember the cost but it couldn't have been more than $20 a night. The most costly are the vet boardings, which some of my cats have had after surgeries. One of my past cats had many surgeries and it adds up quick.

I've never actually boarded my dog overnight. However, my husband and I used to pay a service to come to our house around midday to let Eegor out when he was still very young and I couldn't yet bring him to work with me. They charged $15 a day. Luckily I've got relatives and friends that can take care of him if my husband and I are out of town overnight.

EPA Fails to Deliver on Promises Made in July to Improve Chemical Risk Assessments
WASHINGTON, DC - (September 1, 2011) – Just weeks after the EPA acknowledged problems with its chemical risk assessment process, the Agency was sharply criticized again – this time for its dioxin assessment. EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB) released its final report which criticized EPA for deficiencies in its most recent draft assessment on dioxin. In its report, SAB panel member Dr. Karl Rozman, with the University of Kansas Medical Center, strongly disputed EPA's conclusion that dioxin is carcinogenic stating that the EPA's assumptions were "policy masquerading as science."
The EPA also announced that it will fracture the dioxin assessment by breaking it into several parts: one focusing on the non-cancer risks and the other on the cancer risks, and that the 2003 dioxin reassessment will be an addendum to both the non-cancer and cancer portions.
David Fischer, Senior Director of the American Chemistry Council, issued the following statement in response to the new developments:
EPA Failing to Deliver on Promises
"After acknowledging problems with their chemical risk assessments in July, the EPA's dioxin assessment has veered off course. First, experts, including the National Academy of Science, criticized EPA for ignoring sound science. Now, a key member of the SAB sharply criticized the agency for replacing science with policy. At the same time, the Agency announced that it is changing the rules by pledging to complete a partial dioxin risk assessment rather than a full risk assessment. This course of action does not deliver on EPA's promise to improve its overall risk assessment process."
Dioxin Assessment Ignores Progress
"The EPA is overstating risks to drive increasingly costly regulations but with no corresponding public health benefit. Studies by the EPA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that exposure to dioxin from the environment, in the food supply, and in human blood are exceedingly low and have continued to decline. In fact, the EPA acknowledges that 'U.S. dioxin emissions from man-made sources have declined more than 92 percent since 1987.'"
Impacts of a Flawed Dioxin Assessment Will be Significant

By Alex Forkner | @AlexFork3
In the last outing before the calendar rolls into 2013, UK hoops showed a little New Year's resoluteness in fending off the Marist Red Foxes for a 78-56 victory.
UK head coach Matthew Mitchell said preparing for a team like Marist in one day was a tough task.
"Their offense is designed to beat our defense," he said.
And Marist's offense did just that, outfoxing the Cats for stretches of the game, even leading late in the first half. The Red Foxes limited their first half turnovers to a mere 10, not allowing UK, only scoring 13 points off those turnovers, to run rampant in the fast break.
The result was a scant eight-point halftime lead for UK, unfamiliar territory for a team used to having a win practically sealed after the first 20 minutes.
But, as millions of people will ponder their identity and consider what the New Year has in store for them, the Cats found the toughness and grit to keep Marist, a team with experience playing top-ranked teams, at bay.
UK is the fourth ranked team Marist has played this year. The Red Foxes lost by 11 to No. 14 Purdue, by 13 to No. 12 Oklahoma and by 42 to not-of-this-world UConn, who likely will take the No. 1 ranking after pasting top-ranked Stanford in Palo Alto. So, Marist knows what it takes to at least hang with talented teams.
And a lot of UK's talent showed up in the second half. Jennifer O'Neill and DeNesha Stallworth both netted career highs of 21 points. The two combined to score 23 of their 42 points in the second half.
A'dia Mathies managed to bounce back from bouncing her head on the floor and getting hit in the funny bone — "Wasn't too funny," Mathies said — in the first half, finishing with 10 points while moving up to sole possession of the No. 4 spot on UK's all-time scoring list.
The Cats stuck to who they are, forcing 17 second half turnovers, turning those into 22 points.
The win, hard-fought unlike Friday's 90-23 shellacking of Alcorn State, is probably beneficial for the team heading into SEC play, where foes will be just as physical, if not more so, than Marist.
As for New Year's resolutions, Mitchell had a few for himself.
"I want to gain 20 pounds of lean muscle mass. I want to eat at more Mexican restaurants. I really like Mexican food, and didn't make it to many in 2012," he said. "I'm also going to wear my cowboy hat more often."
And his players?
"I don't want to gain any weight," O'Neill said.
"No cowboy hats," Mathies said, before adding, "Win the SEC and a national championship."
If the Cats are truly resolute, maybe 2013 will be a good year for them.

Texas Push-outs
Push-outs are a serious issue for homeschooling, but school officials being caught so blatantly cheating on the stats is just such sweet irony:
Experts: Home-schooling doesn't add up across Texas.
More than 22,620 Texas secondary students who stopped showing up for class in 2008 were excluded from the state's dropout statistics because administrators said they were being home-schooled, according to Texas Education Agency figures.
But that's where the scrutiny of this growing population seems to end, leaving some experts convinced that schools are disguising thousands of middle and high school dropouts in this hands-off category.
While home-schooling's popularity has increased, the rate of growth concentrated in Texas' high school population is off the chart: It's nearly tripled in the last decade, including a 24 percent jump in a single year.
And, I get a chance to agree with Dr. Brian:
"That's just ridiculous," said Brian D. Ray, founder of the National Home Education Research Institute. "It doesn't sound very believable."
Officials are looking into the numbers:
Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, and HISD Superintendent Terry Grier are among the officials who were unaware of the large increase in home-schooling withdraws from Texas high schools. They agree that the figures need to be scrutinized.
"Home-schooling is something I'm 100 percent behind," Shapiro said. "When it becomes a scapegoat for dropouts, when it becomes a bucket to not have to list this type of student, I'm absolutely adverse to that. I think it's wrong."
Shapiro, chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee, said she plans to delve deeper into the figures.

Nevertheless, I also won't buy a shirt JUST because it's the tour shirt. I bought an Overkill shirt on this tour at the fifth time of asking, because it's the first time I've actually liked one of their tour shirts.
You actually get Gildan or Fruit of the Loom? Lucky fucker, 90% of the time we get Anvil in the states. They shrink a ton, the designs crack after a couple washes and the shirts are super thin. I miss the Hanes Heavyweight shirts from a while back, those things were great.
On topic though, I used to be obsessed with tour shirts but now I just go for the coolest design. I'll only pay more than like 20-25 for a shirt if a show was absolutely amazing and I really want a keepsake.

US military turning to iPod touch, iPhone
updated 11:30 am EDT, Mon April 20, 2009
US military goes iPod
The US armed forces are increasingly turning to iPod touches -- and iPhones, to a lesser extent -- in order to equip soldiers with multifunction handhelds, says Newsweek. Although neither Apple nor the military will comment on how many have been deployed, the devices are now being used for a variety of purposes. Beyond simple tasks such as mapping, translation, trajectory calculation and carrying video messages, photo apps are in development which could bring up intelligence on a given street, or submit suspect information to a biometric database.
More advanced plans include the ability to send or receive extremely sensitive communications, such as video from unmanned drones, or calls from spies in foreign countries. The US Army is in the process of developing a remote control app for bomb disposal robots, exploiting Apple's motion-sensing technology.
The motivation for using the Touch and the iPhone is said mainly to be cost. Whereas a Touch sells for $230 or less, depending on deals, proprietary military hardware can cost several times that amount. When equipped with protective casing, Apple handhelds are also said to be tough enough for military abuse. Another key point is said to be security, as while the devices have been unlocked and jailbroken, they have yet to fall victim to any major intrusions.

A study by a physicians organization verifies what Cape Codders have known for a while — it's tougher to find a primary care physician in Barnstable County than elsewhere in Massachusetts.
The report by the Massachusetts Medical Society says fewer than one-third of primary care doctors on Cape Cod are accepting new patients, resulting in long waits for a first appointment.
And getting in the door is even more difficult for people on government-subsidized insurance or private-market products developed by the government.
The society's report says that doctors across the state, including Cape Cod, are less likely to accept MassHealth than Medicare. Even fewer physicians take insurance developed as part of Massachusetts health reform in 2006, which is accessed through Commonweath Care and Commonwealth Choice, the report says.
The Cape, which famously has a high proportion of patients on Medicare, has an older physician population with full practices, so getting new doctors to relocate here is vital, Dr. Theodore Calianos said.
"Clearly, it's been very difficult to recruit and retain primary care physicians here on the Cape," said Calianos, who is president of the Barnstable District Medical Society, a chapter of the Massachusetts Medical Society.
Obstacles to physician recruitment include the high number of elderly residents and high housing prices, said Dr. Cormac Coyle of Emerald Physicians, which has offices in Hyannis, Yarmouth and Mashpee.
Primary care physicians "work an awful lot harder on the Cape," he said. "You spend a lot more time on patient visits."
The Massachusetts Medical Society report, conducted as part of an annual physician workforce study, was based on phone calls to doctors' offices between Feb. 16 and March 8.
In Barnstable County, investigators conducted phone interviews with 39 doctor's offices, including primary care physicians and specialists.
The report also found:
n"ˆBarnstable County has the lowest percentage of internists and family medicine physicians accepting new patients in the state.
n"ˆJust 29 percent of these physicians are accepting new patients, while statewide almost half of doctors in these specialties report openings in their practices.
n"ˆThe average wait time to see an internist is especially long — 118 days on the Cape compared with 48 days statewide.
n"ˆUnlike primary care physicians, all of the specialists in cardiology, gastroenterology and orthopedic surgery on the Cape reported patient openings at their practices. But only 57 percent of pediatricians in Barnstable County had openings and 86 percent of ob-gyns were taking new patients.
The study also found that statewide there is a significant gap between the percentage of primary care physicians taking Medicare for older patients and for MassHealth, which subsidizes insurance for lower-income individuals and families.
While 85 percent of internists and 87 percent of family physicians accept Medicare, only 53 percent and 62 percent respectively take MassHealth. And even fewer primary care physicians in Massachusetts accept new products created by Massachusetts health care reform in 2006.
The study says statewide 43 percent of internists and 56 percent of family physicians accept subsidized Commonwealth Care, while only 35 percent and 44 percent respectively take Commonwealth Choice — private-market products developed for people who are not on subsidized care.
While the state has made great strides in securing insurance coverage for state residents, not all citizens have good access to health care, said Dr. Alice Coombs, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society.
"It can be six weeks to two months" before new patients get to see a primary care provider, she said. In the meantime, they may end up getting care from a hospital emergency department.
Robin Lord, a spokeswoman for Cape Cod Healthcare, which runs Cape Cod and Falmouth hospitals, said many more primary care physicians are accepting new patients than the Massachusetts Medical Society sampling shows.
Of 104 primary care providers in the Cape Cod Healthcare network, almost half — 49 — are accepting new patients, Lord said.
Every primary care practice actually owned by the health care network is open to new patients, and each one accepts all the government or government-related insurances except Commonwealth Choice.
"We don't have an agreement with them. I think it's a work in progress," Lord said.
Cape Cod Healthcare also employs a full-time physician recruiter, Lord said.
The society's study shows that Barnstable County internists also are far more likely to accept Medicare than MassHealth — 86 to 57 percent. Only 48 percent of Cape internists take Commonwealth Care products and 29 percent accept Commonwealth Choice products.
That's problematic because MassHealth and Commonwealth Care rolls are expanding due to the recession, patient advocates say.
Even physicians who accept MassHealth take only a certain number of patients on the plan, Estella Fritzinger of the Community Action Committee of the Cape and Islands said. But "the community health centers are all accepting MassHealth and that's where many people are making their homes."
Richard Powers, spokesman for the Health Connector, which administers Commonwealth Care and Choice products, says the Massachusetts Medical Society survey is "seriously flawed." It shows that 50 percent of pediatricians accept Commonwealth Care, but that product is not available to children, Powers said.
MassHealth pays one-third less than Medicare, and Commonwealth Care products "are along those lines — much less than Medicare," Coyle said. "Reimbursement is so poor nobody gives it serious consideration."
Jennifer Kritz of the state Executive Office of Health and Human Services said MassHealth pays providers on average about 78 percent of the Medicare rate but adds an additional $10 per visit for primary care physicians.
That brings the rates much closer to Medicare, Kritz said.
