Overhaul of the US healthcare system?
admin | Apr 20, 2010 | Comments 4
I mean the US has excellent quality healthcare but in reality only the rich can make treatment for (without feeling to much pain in the wallet) a injury like an arm break or a hernia. The US does spend the most per capita on healthcare in the Western World but that does not mean that it improves anything but only that doctors keep using unnecessary treatment like how come the US is behind in life expectancy to the Communist Cuba and even the second world Chile and the US has one of the highest tariff of infant mortality among developed countries.
What should be the main goal of shape reform in the US, should it Decrease the cost of shape care, Improve the quality of shape care, Improve the access to shape care or make most Americans hear at smallest amount valuable emancipated public care. What would it be like for the US if an Australian system like the Medicare service is implemented where all taxpayers pay a 1.5% income tariff levy (with exceptions for low-income earners), an additional levy of 1% is imposed on high-income earners without confidential shape insurance. There is also a confidential shape system where people pay for shape insurance to go to a confidential hospital if they wish for quicker service. Bankruptcies from lack of funds to pay for medical bills is the largest reason for personal bankruptcies in the US accounting for over 60 % of all bankruptcies, while in Australia it is nearly negligible.

Excellent information – But the answer is
Does this bill make Shape Care more affordable – No
Does this bill make Shape Care better – No
Does this bill aid the economy – No
Yes Shape Care is terrible in this country, but this bill does nothing to make it better.
This bill does the same things O’s other bills do – redistribute wealth and merge potential for the Democrat Party.
If you read the bill – you will come to the same conclusion.
Of course we need reform…People cannot afford it, if they are self employed or if they work for a small business who can´t provide it for their workers…
But here in America, both corporations and politicians are in a cooperative to literally LOOT the American people…They are both to blame in this thief of the American taxpayer…
I don´t know how it is in Australia, but in this country we have lost trust in the system, because over and over again, we are taxed more while services become diminished….Thats the sad truth.

Prosecutors are currently investigating the Nebraska deal. If its found to be fraudulent it could invalidate the whole bill.
Congress could challenge it in the courts, but will lose because the Judicial Branch is the one branch w/o a Liberal Majority.
What most Americans of limited means don’t realize is that the wealthy who don’t have more money than brains shop the world for shape care. I really was a patient at a Tijuana shape clinic and I certainly didn’t see any poor people there. I also went to Canada for hernia repair at a confidential hernia specialty clinic and once again, there were no poor people.
A government run shape insurance program will not allow you to make the preeminent treatment for your shape up because it will continue to force you to accept American shape care for any every ailment.
The truth is, the Democrats have been the American medical profession’s preeminent friends and if anyone has allowed the AMA to grab our country in a death lock it has been the Democratic Party. Now I am far from being a Republican, but the Republicans been far more lenient toward out the box medical thinking than the Democrats and for that reason I give them a passing mark in this one area and the Democrats a failing one.
If either party ever completely wakes up to the reality of what it takes to cure an illness with efficiency and less pain, and that sometimes it requires a person to seek unorthodox treatments for a cure, then that political party will have my full devotion. Until then, both parties will remain far less than exact.
