Why do people so easy confuse facilities with health care?

Question

The nice fancy hospitals are useless if the doctors working in them dont provide good healthcare.
Or if they are not allowed to by HMO's.
Are we talking about health care or hospitals and the medical machinery in them.

If Angola has better health care than the US but facilities not up to par with the US that says they utilize what they have better than the US and they also have a better mindset when it comes to those needing healthcare.

A race car is just any other car without the right driver

Answer 1

Excellent points.

But also don't confuse HMOs with Health Care.

HMOs have the goal to make money -- and they can only do that by withholding health care -- ever expenditure cuts into their bottom line, which puts their goals and the needs of the patient in direct opposition.

If you want to solve the health care crisis in the US -- require all medical insurance companies and hospitals to be non-profit -- that would go a long way right there.

Answer 2

Youre entitled to your opinion no matter how ridiculous and wrong it is.

Bottom line... Many people in the US eat garbage and do not take care of their bodies. This isnt opinion, this is fact.

How many other countries do you turn on the TV and see someone that is so fat that they cant get out of bed yet they are still eating a bucket of fried chicken. Maybe some but Im betting not many.

Personal accountability is something liberals never understand. Its NOT the health-care system. Its the people that dont maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Answer 3

i don't think it oversteps the parameters of your question to offer this comparative point...it has come to my attention that the medical systems in some European countries award financial incentives. these "awards" are given to medical personnel who are instrumental in getting a patient to lose unhealthy habits, (smoking, over-eating, drug addiction, etc.) if true...this is a stark contrast to our medical system which is guaranteed to make more money the sicker the patient.
