Taco what the frick does that have to do with health care you one weird dude

Answer 1

Your link looks like a pension question, but you are using it for national health care purposes??? Would you rather ask about Social Security to make it more relevant?

You can get more information about this issue and analysis of the health-care problem from all the angles at the link below.

Laissez-faire health-care economics makes no sense. Markets are good for some things, bad for much and immoral for health-care. Markets can function efficiently if people have choices. There is no choice in your health-care requirements. If you have congestive heart failure, you can't say to yourself, "Ah, I don't need the attention of a thoracic surgeon this week, I'll put it off until next week."
Or, "I don't have any need for cancer right now, I'll take indigestion instead."

Therefore, a market solution will only distribute our health resources inefficiently and inequitably. Rich hypochondriacs get all the care they "need" while poor folks with bad hearts let their conditions deteriorate until they need the most expensive care available.

Our high malpractice problems and claims are a direct result of having no national health insurance. When those poor folks who can't afford health-care finally are faced with a heart attack or some other acute episode, they head to the hospital to a doctor they've most likely never seen with no medical records to speak of. The doctors are "flying blind" trying to save the patients not knowing the full array of ailments, allergies, etc they might have.

Answer 2

are all of the Bush Team from Christian churches? I thought all the Christians on the Bush regime committed suicide in disgraced after 2 years with Bush

I bet Rice was chosen because she was a Christian black woman.

Oh! but Bush doesn't have anything to do with the the Insurance Corporationis?

I am sure all Americans are not stupid

Answer 3

Be careful what you wish for. The real answer would be to come up with some tort reform so that doctors don't have to pay such high malpractice insurance rates and pass the expense onto the patients. Don't blame it on the bad doctors only. Count the number of bad doctors in your own town. The percentage is low but all physicians must pay - hence, we all pay at our office visits,etc.
