Health Care Reform
Ok, is there a problem with the health care system in the United States?
Answer: NO
Is there a problem with the cost of the health care system in the United States?
Answer: YES
Should Government Destroy the current health care system to fix the cost
Answer: NO
So what is the answer?
First lets look at what cause the cost.
1. Everyone goes to the doctor for the most minor thing, a runny nose, a splinter in their finger, a fever of 99, can’t get it up.
2. Illegal aliens, going to the ER, (a study of Houston in a single year over 300 million) was spent on illegal care in the ER. (90% of all babies born at Parklin Hospital in Dallas is to illegals)
3. Insurance companies making profits.
4. Drug companies spending Billions on advertisements
5. Cost of medical malpractice are skyrocketing.
Now lets look at each.
1. Why does the avg. American go to the doctor for any little. They don’t want to miss work, because it is so cheap to go for an office visit (15-25 dollars) so why not. They don’t want to deal with a child for two or three days and let the child get better on their own.
(Each person that abuses the low cost of co pay just raises cost over all.) it is good for a person to be sick it helps the body build immunity for the next time. By taking a pill every time all you doing is making your immunity system weaker.
Granted this is a small issue.
2. I am not saying not help them but if they are not dying then kick them out of not only the ER but the country. And for those who are dying the stabilize them and get them moveable then send them back to their country. Along with that we need to charge their home country the cost. If they (their home country) won’t pay then we suspend all US funding, or loans or aid by what they owe and give that money to the hospitals.
3. Look at making INS companies non profit, so all profits they make goes back to the pool not to share holders.
4. Drug companies are artificially making a need for a drug, ie “The Little Blue Pill”. Or making the consumer think that by looking at a commercial they think they know what they need when they go to the DR. It is the DR to determine what is best. Also Drug companies should not be allowed to influence DR by giving them “Kick Backs” or other rewards
5. And the biggest cost. Medical Malpractice. When a GP pays over 100K a year in ins for malpractice we have an issue. Texas did a study that of 80% of claims for malpractice was caused by less than 2% of all doctors, and most of them are still practicing. When a person is really injured by a DR for being negligent they deserve some recourse. But 50-100-200 million that is the problem. Easy fix if a person can’t work or take care of their self because of the DR a panel should look at what is the medical cost for the presumed life to the person, what is the lost wage to the person. That is it. Then the DR will also pay a fine that must come from outside their ins.
If they are sued again for negligence and is found guilty they need to have their license is pulled and suspended for X years, then if they are guilty again they can never practice in the United States
Lets start with # 5, and #2 before we blow up our system.
The United States has the best research and development in the world, we have had more Nobel Prizes for medical research than the rest of the world.
Lets just no destroy what works. If you car won’t start are you going to just go get a new car, No you will try one thing if that don’t work try the next….

CZARS
I have read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and find no branch of government called CZARS or "Special Adviser", these people are being appointed to positions of power that allow them to "make laws(regulations)" that will affect every person in this country. Green Job CZAR, Health CZAR..... These people report only to the President and no one else.
Who gave this President or any other President the RIGHT to create his own government, who gave Congress the right to allow this?
There are THREE and ONLY THREE branches of government.
Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

First of all
I never thought that I would wake up in an America where government would fire a CEO of a private company, then take over the company, or government would tell private company's what they can pay, or telling radio stations what they can and can't have on the air.
Where a self proclaimed Communist would be put in charge in a goverment office and the media would not question it.
Or the person in charge of the "Medaical Reform" says that doctors should look at the care of socicity not only the patient. Does this patient have the reason to live, is it to much of a cost on socicity to take care of the old, the coronicly sick, or babys born with multiple problems.
What the hell is happening to America.
