1. FUCK spending money on HealthCare - Mandate Cuts in Cost |
|
Health care cost are being manipulated just as we have seen with Crude Oil and Energy Cost. They are the common draining factor on the US economy that will keep us in a State of Economic Recession until they are addressed by tough legislation that takes the gross profits and administration cost out of Health Care

that just means cutting payments to doctors, who tend to try to avoid having Medicare or Medicaid patents (at least too big a proportion of them), or cutting payments to hospitals, which then load the costs onto everybody else's bill.

4. Why don't we try reforming the medical malpractice system |
|
including insurance? What if there were a government insurance program exclusively for people whose bills are paid for by Medicare and Medicaid, and the doctors and hospitals wouldn't have to kick in premiums? What if a doctor took all Medicaid and Medicare patients, that physician wouldn't have to shell out for expensive insurance?
And what if that government insurance company had as a priority making quick claims settlements to people truly injured by medical malpractice? With the results open to all to see?
Or do you think that continuing to squeeze health care providers between the vice jaws of lowered reimbursement and higher malpractice insurance is going to solve anything?
