Florida says no to two features of U.S. healthcare law

WASHINGTON, July 1 | Sunday 1 July 2012 9:36 pm EDT

WASHINGTON, July 1 (Reuters)-Florida not implements two provisions of U.S. healthcare law involving an expansion of Medicaid for the poor and the creation of an exchange of private insurance, Governor Rick Scott said Sunday.

Two other States with Republican Governors, Wisconsin and Louisiana, opted out of the two provisions last week in the wake of Supreme Court decision upholding the patient protection and Affordable Care Act.

The health law takes full effect in January 2014 and Republican lawmakers hope to repeal it before then. Florida will enforce the law if it remains in force, said Scott.

In a statement, the Governor said the health bill would not help economic growth in his State "and since Florida is legally allowed to opt-out, that is the right decision for our citizens".

Scott said expansion of Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor, would cost $1,90 billion, while the State has other health programs. Insurance exchange would increase premiums, he said.

If States do not create insurance exchanges, the Federal Government says that it will be established. The exchanges are designed to extend medical coverage for an additional 16 million people. The Kaiser Family Foundation says 17 States have made any significant progress toward an Exchange or rejected the idea. (Reported by Charles Abbott. Editing by Eric Walsh)

* Deal for $41,50 per share, a premium 22 pct

* To be financed with a loan of $ $4,5 billion acquisition

* Scheduled to close in 2012 third fiscal quarter

By Greg Roumeliotis

NEW YORK, July 1 (Reuters)-German industrial gases producer Linde AG said Sunday it has agreed to pay $4,60 billion to Lincare Holdings Inc., a Florida-based provider of oxygen and respiratory therapy services to patients at home.

The deal is the latest sign of raids that industrial gas suppliers are doing homecare sector, which is growing 6 to 9 percent a year, driven primarily by cost cuts at hospital operators and an aging population.

In his annual report 2011, Lincare, which serves more than 800,000 customers in the United States and in Canada, estimates that the total u.s. home respiratory market represented about $ 6 billion in annual revenue.

This appeal to Linde, who said in a statement on Sunday that it had signed a merger agreement with Lincare based on a cash offer of $41,50 per share, a premium of 22 percent, as shares ended trading at Lincare $ 34.02 on Friday.

Linde added that want to finance the deal with available cash and a loan of $ 4.50 billion acquisition that will be refinanced by issuance of debt and equity. It expects the deal to close in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

In January, Linde bought the European homecare business rival U.S. Air Products and Chemicals Inc. for $ 750 million.

Linde, who is also the producer of industrial gases World No. 2, saw sales increase of homecare 6 percent in 2011 to 300 million euros ($ 379 million). Lincare posted net revenues for 2011 of $1,850 billion, an increase of 10.7% year-over-year.

Linde's chief executive Wolfgang Reitzle told reporters in May the company could make more acquisitions in the healthcare sector and that any agreement would be manageable in size.

The principal clients of Linde are in the fields of steel and chemicals, but also provides the gas used to produce solar cells, make LCD flat screens and lift the giant helium character balloons in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's in United States.

Genetics Home Reference: Renpenning syndrome

Renpenning syndrome is a disorder that affects almost exclusively males, causing developmental delay, moderate to severe intellectual disability and distinguishing physical features. Individuals with Renpenning syndrome typically have a short stature and a small head size (microcephaly). Characteristic facial features of this disorder include a long narrow face; outside corners of the eyes pointing upwards (palpebral fissures); a long bulbous nose, with a low-hanging separating the nostrils (hanging columella); a small space between the nose and mouth (prominent); and cup-shaped ears. Males Renpenning syndrome usually have small testes. Seizures and waste away (atrophy) of the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) may also occur in this disorder.

About 20 percent of people with Renpenning syndrome also have other features, which may include a gap or split in structures that make up the eye (coloboma), an opening in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate), cardiac anomalies or malformations of the anus.

Certain combinations of features that often occur in Renpenning syndrome are sometimes called by other names, such as Golabi-Ito-Hall syndrome or Sutherland-Haan. However, all these syndromes, which have the same genetic cause, are now generally grouped under the term Renpenning syndrome.

These resources address the diagnosis or management of Renpenning syndrome and may include providers of treatment.

You may also find information about the diagnosis or management of Renpenning syndrome in patient support and educational resources.
