If I am an inpatient hospital doc, how in the hell do I keep people well outside the hospital?
Call their home teachers? Some of this is pie-in-the-sky easy-to-say hard-to-do stuff. Yeah, it would be great if Americans let their dying die, but who's going to make them? Their pastors? |

Obama and his ilk typify "it's always the other guy's fault" form of logic. The wellness aspect of health care reform is substantially ignored from what I've read. I guess fat people vote too.

There's really only one way to cut medical spending.
Rationing of care. There are other things that can be done--like creating more out of pocket costs so the cost of care is actually tied to the kinds of economic decisions that people make. I have a new medical benefit, I just found out. Employees and family members qualify for discounted cosmetic surgery. Hooray!!! |

So rationing is the only way or my prediction of drastic increases in costs will result, which they will.

Some simple obvious concepts here.
If you want to include persons not receiving a product or service, you will either have to increase what you pay or you will have to take away from others. And there isn't enough in administrative concepts, even if you believed in the magic fairy of government cost savings, to make up the difference. Health care is not the issue about which most people are concerned. But thanks Obama for f...ing us in the rear any way.
