Daniel Straus and CareOne’s Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Effort
Posted on: September 26, 2017
Dear All Employees and Associates:
As you know, Puerto Rico has been devastated by Hurricane Maria. This storm has gone down as the most powerful hurricane that has hit Puerto Rico in over 80 years. Many of you may not be aware, however, that in addition to our senior care business, CareOne, I have built a number of successful businesses over the years. One of those companies, Innovacare, is based in Puerto Rico and is a sizable contributor to the portfolio of companies that I run as a part of our family business and which employs over two thousand people. I consider these employees a part of our family, and I ask that you do the same. Innovacare, like CareOne, Partners and Ascend, is in the business of caring for people and provides health insurance to over 500,000 Puerto Rican citizens.

Free the Doctors: To Fix ACA, Trump Must Restore Physician Authority
Posted on: September 14, 2017
Source: Observer Author: Daniel E. Straus As talk swirls about repealing and replacing Obamacare, President Trump must train his focus on the fundamental error of the ACA, which is the shift in patient care decision-making away from frontline physicians and toward hospitals and insurance companies.
