I don't understand what you are saying. But one thing, I don't think I agree with you. I do agree with what you are saying about doctors. That may play a factor, but there are probably also other facts that come into play with the health care wage.
"It is all just a game". That is what my dad said. He is a business owner and offers the full deal to all of his employees. He switched from company A because company A was charging more than company B. Now, about 6 months later company A wants him to come back so he is going to switch back over since they will give it to him for much less money. Why can't health care people give us what we need and not rip us off? Also, I don't like the Obama plan because of how it will set us equal with Canada. We used to live up in Canada and the Canadians would actually come down to America because everyone got free health care and they were not able to be treated fast enough. In fact, my dad came to Denver to get surgery because he couldn't get in a Canadian hospital. That is what would happen here in America is Obama's health care plans are actually put into place. |

[quote name='steveox' post='118692' date='Aug 20 2009, 01:55 PM']Its because cobination of doctors salaries and the way your doctor does things. Like giving you tests for example. He sends you a test then after that he sends you to another test and then another test. And tests are very expensive. You dont see that kind of crap goes on in europe. Euopean nations have regalations you cant perform no more than 1 test. Thats what i want. But i do agree on one thing. Goverment should make free health care only for Hospitals and prescriptins not private practice or clinics. Now if you need emergency care government should pay for that. Or nights stay or care at hospitals government should pay for that. But when you see your doctor then you pay for that. And Doctors need to be Taxed just like how you pay to drive your car Doctors required to pay.. Malpractice insurance and add tax to that. Private Pratice Doctors pay local and state and Health bulding permits,local and state and Health registration and Federal local and state and Health medical license. Just like how you gotta pay just to drive. That would pay for hospitals and and prescriptions.[/quote]
I would rather be sent for a lot of tests and pile on the bills than get one test and then the doctors treat me for the wrong thing, however I do think the charges they will charge in medical or veterinary fields are quite ridiculous. I know veterinary isn't what this post is about but its still a healthcare for animals. I think it was last summer I got a bad case of poison oak, went in the office, doc looked at it, sent a nurse in to give me a shot, then sent me out the door, 2 weeks later, get the invoice in the mail, owed them $250 for what my insurance didn't pay for the shot and office visit where I literally took up 2 minutes of their time. |

no, don't want the government dipping into our healthcare. Government should stay out of the healthcare. Also once you do this, doctors get less money, making the job less desirable and fewer people will be doing this leading to few doctors and few openings for a growing population. We start socializing, then socializing starts becoming communism. |

I want everyone here to watch the Movie John Q. Insurance Companies are dictating who gets certain treatments and certain policys. Like Insurance Companies are siding with doctors and hospital adminstrators.

You do realize that first off that its a MOVIE? I mean if that doesn't give it away, I am sure Denzel Washington holding a hospital hostage is quite a give-away. It isn't like that at all. When a person needs an organ transplant, they get put into certain lists in order of priority, and from there, they get numbers and when an organ becomes available that is an exact match, they give them to people in the highest priority. Actually insurance companies don't mean shit about what treatments you get. They may not pay for treatments but its still on the individual to do what is necessary to get medical care. Not sure what you saying about insurance companies siding with doctors and hospitals, but I suggest you actually look into some real world scenarios instead of Denzel flicks. |

Ever look on your bill on statement ""NOT COVERED"" Even Hospitals turn people away for not having the proper insurance .Go Watch from the movie "Sicko" when a Mother who tried to save her sick daughter hospital turned her away. But 10 day later she went into a sezuere and then into a acoma Hospital took her in and 4 hours later she died. This is what im talking about Insurance Companies siding with Hospital Adminstrators. And this is exactly why we need our Senators to use the nuclear opition to over ride the careless Republicans and blue dog Democrats so Obama can finaly get us Healthcare.
