The Citizen, IPA Honors the late William Garth, Sr. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
By Christopher Shuttlesworth
The Chicago Citizen and the Illinois Press Association (IPA) recently honored the life and legacy of the Citizen’s Former Publisher William Garth, Sr. at The DuSable Museum of African American History, located on 740 E. 56th Place. Darrell Garth thanked each elected official, the DuSable Museum representatives, and the Illinois Press Association and family members for paying their respect. “My father was a great person and would have been honored to have seen everyone here tonight,” Garth said. Mike Kramer, president at Law Bulletin Media, said it was a privilege to serve and learn from William Garth, who he says was one of the most honest and successful men he’s ever known. “He turned the Citizen into one of the most successful businesses in America,” Kramer said. “I mourned his passing because he was a wonderful man. Bill gave a voice to people who were silenced and a platform for those who could not reach out.” As a tribute to his business acumen, Garth became the first Black person to be elected President of the
Illinois Press Association (IPA), the state’s largest newspaper association and the office trade organization for Illinois’ weekly daily newspapers. Garth is also the second Black person in the nation elected president of a statewide press association. He served on the Board of the Government Affairs Committee of the Illinois Press Association and as a board member for more than 15 years. As former chairman of the Chatham Business Association, Garth led the organization in creating opportunities, inroads and programs to benefit and ensure the prosperity, economic strength and excellence of all businesses in the Chatham area and its surrounding communities. In 1995, Garth founded the Quentis Bernard Garth Foundation, the In memory of the Citizen’s Former Owner William Garth, Sr., the Illinois Press Association benevolent arm of the Chicago (IPA) donated $5,000 to the DuSable Museum of African American History and the Illinois Citizen Newspaper, in memory of Legislative Black Caucus Foundation.

Unraveling Obamacare by fiat By J.B. Silvers
President Donald Trump has issued the first of what promises to be a series of health insurance executive ordersaimed at dismantling the Affordable Care Act. J.B. Silvers It instructs the government to essentially exempt small businesses and potentially individuals from some of the rules underpinning the landmark legislation known as “Obamacare,” following the GOP’s failure to get Congress to approve a plan to repeal and replace it. These steps would free more employers to access bare-bones and short-term health
insurance coverage and join together to bargain with insurers. It’s not clear how this order will change the U.S. health insurance market. But as a health finance professor and the former CEO of an insurance company, I’m confident it is more likely to compound many of Obamacare’s problems than to fix them. Designed this way To be sure, the Affordable Care Act has problems. For example, premiums have continued to rise since the Affordable Care Act’s enactment – albeit at a moderate pace for insurance obtained through employment. In particular, many smaller employers have
seen their costs rise dramatically since insurers were forced to price their plans based on the average of all claims in the small group market rather than the experience of each firm. But there is a reason why Obamacare was designed this way. Employers with older and less healthy workers were almost shut out of the insurance market because insurers deemed them so costly to cover and wanted to avoid the risk. Companies with younger and healthier workers had a good deal previously, but many other employers did not. The Affordable Care Act was supposed to solve this problem by lumping everyone together to even out rates. Making rates more reasonable for many Americans meant CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Be ‘Bowled’ Over by These Satisfying, Healthful Lunches (StatePoint) Strapped for time? By stocking the pantry well and setting aside some weekend prep time, you can create a whole week of great lunches in just an hour. One bowl wonders are perfect for toting to work or school or enjoying at home. Simply choose a grain, a hearty root vegetable, some good-for-you greens, a simple sauce and flavorful toppings, like olives. This Sweet Potato Tahini Bowl recipe conveniently yields 4-5 servings, perfect for an entire week.

requiring some of us to pay more.
Market dynamics The government’s attempt to keep President Barack Obama’s oft-repeated promise that “if you like your current plan, you can keep it” didn’t help. Employers with low-cost plans and healthier workforces chose to be grandfathered out of many new requirements, leaving a much less healthy – and more expensive to cover – pool for pricing everyone else’s insurance. Nevertheless, the share of adults without health insurance fell to a record low of 10.9 percent in late 2016, from 18 percent before the health insurance exchanges opened in October
2013, as measured by polling by Gallup and Sharecare. (The uninsurance rate has ticked up to 11.7 percent since Trump took office.) What would be a good way to get the remaining 28 million Americansinsured at a reasonable cost? It may seem obvious that letting small businesses without much purchasing power in the health insurance market band together will enable them to get the same deals as large self-insured companies – which get to choose among a variety of options. In most markets, this kind of diversity and choice fosters the robust competition Trump says he wants to see. But in health insurance, this may lead to fragmentation and market
failure. That’s because as insurers scramble for ideal customers – those least likely to get sick – they drive higher-risk people away by charging them higher premiums and making them foot a bigger share of their medical bills. Unfortunately, the latter (people often with preexisting conditions and requiring long-term treatment) really need medical care and the insurance coverage required to get it. Because of this, all but the largest of the association health plans that the executive order is supposed to encourage still will most likely exclude high-risk individuals and employers, just as they have in the past, as

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and Cure Violence founder Gary Slutkin recently discussed possible solutions to combat violence in Chicago at a panel discussion entitled, “The Urban Crisis and Chicago’s Future: Violence and the Law.” The event was held at Roosevelt University on 425 S. Wabash Ave. “We’re talking about a Criminal Justice system that has existed for 150 years,” she said. “Time is of the essence to move very quickly on things we can change,” Foxx said. “I started my career in the State’s Attorney office in the juvenile system and I saw young kids who were victims of trauma whether they witnessed domestic violence in their homes or even sexual assault,” she said. “They’re acting out behavior was dealt with in the justice system and not with any intervening factors to deal with the underlining trauma,” she said. “If our only response is to use the justice system without touching any of the other issues, then we will continue with the cycle of violence,” she added.
Foxx further explained that communities that are most impacted by violence have a high-concentration of criminals who have been in and out of the justice system, the highest levels of unemployment, underperforming schools and no economic investment. She said when she looks at the adult courts and jails, she currently sees large amounts of Black men in our jails. “We have invested a lot of money over the course of decades into our criminal justice system where the return on the investment hasn’t yielded the results that we need, which are safe, healthy, thriving communities,” she added. Serving about 10 months of her four year term as Cook County State’s Attorney, Foxx added she plans to find ways to solve violence in Chicago including working on solutions with other organizations. The event was moderated by NBC anchor/ reporter Art Norman and sponsored by Roosevelt University’s St. Clair Drake Center for African and African American Studies.
his youngest son Quentis B. Garth. The QBG Foundation provides scholarships to disenfranchised, inner city youths in the Chicagoland area. To date, the foundation has helped over 50 students and has disbursed over $1.5 million in scholarship awards. As a dedicated activist and leader in the business community, Garth maintained memberships and positions with several business organizations. He is the former president of the Midwest Region III of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), Region III Advertising Representative with the NNPA, Transition Team for IDOT-Dan Ryan Project, board member of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, a life-time member of the NAACP and a member of the Chatham Lions Club. Garth has also been the recipient of numerous local and national awards and honors; one of such honor bestowed upon him was to carry the torch in Chicago during the 2002 Olympic Torch Relay. “He was a community leader and fostered and encouraged active government,” Kramer said. “He left a legacy that will continue to effect lives for many years.” During the evening festivities, the Illinois Press Association (IPA) donated $5,000 to the DuSable Museum of African American History and the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus Foundation in honor of William Garth.

health law expert Tim Jost predicts. How will the vulnerable get health care? Trump said that his executive order will help “millions and millions of people.” But I believe it is more likely to drive coverage for many out of reach while benefiting the Americans whose insurance needs are relatively minimal. One could argue that the government should never have tried to force healthier people to pay so much more for coverage to make it affordable for everyone else. Yet the nation needs a mechanism to help Americans with chronic and preexisting conditions pay for the
medical care they need. Establishing high-risk pools is one way to make this work, and they definitely can help as long as there is funding available. Unfortunately, most attempts to handle high-risk individuals this way have run out of moneyand left vulnerable patients high and dry. Trump’s approach does nothing to deal with this. Any solution that makes health insurance more affordable across the board will need to be comprehensive. I believe Trump is instead embarking on a process that is both naïve and piecemeal based on wishful thinking

It is up to us, the village, to pour into them and to show them that they can succeed in life.” “We’ve lost entirely too many of our young men to gun violence, drugs, gangs and jail. It’s modern day genocide and enough is enough,” says Bell. “If we don’t take our streets back, take our boys back, we’ve failed our community and our future is bleak.
