TO MY KNOWLEDGE health care in every country, including England, that has been "nationalized" or government run has been a dismal failure.
I do know that England has or at least had, caps on monetary awards for lawsuits and as a result, has far fewer medical law suits.
I do know that India now has very highly ranked medical services. Many people go to India to have medical procedures performed because even though they pay 100% of the cost, it is less than what their "portion" of the cost would be if they had the same procedure done here.
I do know that many doctors today are not interested in or are prevented from actually healing anyone. They just push pills at you to control the symptoms.
One doctor I know finally got fed up and left the medical firm where he worked because the new office manager MANDATED they spend no more than 20 minutes with each patient so they could schedule more appointments (make more $$$) each day.
When we had Kaiser-Permanente as our HMO, we had one doctor who was great. He really was interested in getting you healed and not pushing pills. This did not set well with K-P, so they put him on the night shift in the emergency room.
Like most of you, I have heard the "horror stories" about people who have suffered and even died because the health care provider denied services on a "technicality".
I know for a fact with my current health care provider, Blue Cross Blue Shield, if you schedule you annual check up just ONE day before you had it the year before, they will deny the claim.
I am concerned about this health care bill. I do not believe it will help anything. According to one news cast (if you can believe the news) at a cost of 1.5 TRILLION it would only address the needs of 1/3 or less of those who do not have any health care coverage.
Besides the waste and proven ineptness of government run programs, the govt is saying this won"t increase the deficit. If a new program that costs, at least now, 1.5 trillion isn"t going to increase the deficit, where is the govt going to get the money to pay for it? Since the only funds the govt receives is taxes, the govt is going to have to raise existing taxes and/or create new taxes to pay for this program if its not going to increase the deficit.
Another thing that really concerns me is the incredibly hard push to force this through immediately. Why the rush?
I believe there are many in congress (both parties) who do not think this bill is a good thing, but are not willing to stand up against it.
