  Cabell County Senator Evan Jenkins says he is very frustrated with recent actions by the large retailer in his home county. Jenkins alleges Wal-Mart went out of its way to build two new superstores outside of nearby municipalities so the company wouldn't have to pay certain taxes and fees.
  
  Jenkins says it's a huge financial burden on the state and health care providers. He says Wal-Mart should pay their fair share.

  Evan Jenkins, D-Cabell, was watching.
  
  Jenkins is executive director of the West Virginia Medical Association and had watched Obama give similar remarks to the American Medical Association in June. One difference was during his national address, Obama didn't touch the issue of medical malpractice reform, a position strongly endorsed by the AMA.
  
  Also, Jenkins was disappointed by remarks suggesting that if patients had a choice between a red pill and a blue pill that did the same thing, they should always get the cheaper option.
  ...
  Jenkins noted there are many areas of agreement between his organization and the president. But a major problem for making any predictions about what the reforms will mean for the state is they are currently an ever-changing list of rules, he noted.

  Evan Jenkins, D-Cabell.Jenkins is one of the sponsors of a resolution to be studied this year calling for an examination of health care reform options.
  
  The Legislature's goal should be to improve the health of West Virginians, to reduce the costs of medical care and to expand insurance coverage as much as possible, he said.While he's optimistic about this year's interim sessions, Jenkins doesn't think the problem can be handled in a single legislative session.
  
  "This is not a 60-day legislative session kind of issue," said Jenkins, who is executive director of the West Virginia Medical Association.

  "This bill ... will help collect data and will be then used to help educate providers and others about the best protocols to making sure every newborn has the best, healthiest possible start," said Jenkins, who also serves as executive director of the West Virginia State Medical Association.
  
  Streamlining the certificate of need process for capital expenditures of hospitals and doctors' offices and also for the credentialing of doctors was the focus of other bills signed Thursday.
  
  "The certificate of need bill was probably the most significant step in starting to roll back some of the regulatory restrictions we have in West Virginia relating to our health care marketplace," Jenkins said, adding that the certificate of need requirement can be lengthy and costly.
  
  Jenkins said the bill allows hospitals to make capital expenditures for non-clinical investments such as building a garage without having to go through a CON process, and it increases the threshold for hospital and physician office expenditures requiring this process from $2 million to $2.7 million.
