EXPERT ALERTS:

Potential Medicaid Cuts Put Savings of Middle-Class Elderly at Risk
Kelley Bentley
Elder Law Attorney
Roberts Markel Weinberg Butler Hailey PC, Houston
The health care bill the U.S. Senate is fine-tuning could have profound effects on elderly people who rely on nursing home care. Says Bentley: "The bill proposes large cuts to federal Medicaid support over several years with reliance on states to decide funding in the future. While many people may assume the program pays solely for health care for the poor, it also fills a gap for long-term care, including at-home and nursing home care for the elderly population. The cost of long-term care in the U.S. can be substantial and a serious drain on an individual's assets. That includes middle-class retirees who sometimes have managed to save substantial assets. Some people simply outlive their savings for long-term care. Older people should take a hard look at their savings long before any health problems. The secret is to start to plan early, before the need arises as there are more options available for the preservation of assets. The goal is not necessarily to preserve assets for future generations, but to ensure that an individual (or married couple) has sufficient assets to cover any future long-term care needs."

Could the New Netflix Movie 'To the Bone' Trigger Anorexia or Other Eating Disorders?
Dena Cabrera, PsyD, CEDS
Executive Clinical Director
Rosewood Centers for Eating Disorders
"Could 'To the Bone' trigger anorexia or other eating disorders in someone struggling with the disease? Yes, of course -- but those in the thick of an eating disorder, or who are not yet working on their recovery, can use this film as 'thinspiration.' In fact, Impressionable men and women are triggered all the time by social media, TV commercials, music videos and print ads that glorify thinness. Just check out a Victoria's Secret ad! I hope that 'To the Bone' communicates a message about the mental and psychiatric devotion of an eating disorder, beyond just TV images."
A Certified Eating Disorders Specialist with a wealth of diverse clinical experience, Dr. Cabrera is able to provide expert insight on eating disorders and associated issues, such as body shaming, depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, the impact of eating disorders on family and loved ones, and cognitive-behavioral treatment for eating disorders. She has authored numerous articles and publications, and is honored by her academic and clinical peers for contributing vital resources to the field of eating disorders. She most recently co-authored "Mom in the Mirror: Body Image, Beauty and Life After Pregnancy" (Rowman & Littlefield), a first resource of its kind that speaks to moms and those who love them through a personal and compassionate lens that assists in healing from body-image disturbances and eating disorders. Dr. Cabrera is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Academy of Eating Disorders, and the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. She received her Master of Arts and PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, Los Angeles. She is based in Arizona.
