Universal Health Care?

Jackson Esmiol: you do no longer want regular wellness care. that may no longer the direction that human beings might desire to take. yet, because of the fact it grow to be a fiasco while Hillary Clinton grow to be in workplace i do no longer think of something would be finished via the present President. human beings will basically might desire to take extra constructive care of themselves and stop reckoning on medicine and being hospitalized.

Brock Hladik: It depends on how it's implemented. As you can see, different countries have different universal health care systems. In Japan, all doctors aren't wealthy, the gov't set prices for everything. Same goes for UK. In US, my concern is if they set prices low, they must make malpractice premiums cheap. Many pediatricians, family physicians, general practitioners, etc who have a private practice are struggling. I know several who went bankrupt because insurance and medicare/medicaid reimbursement was too low and they ! still had to pay their high malpractice premium. I was struggling myself until I was forced to go 100% cash. I could do it because the area can afford it. Same can't be said for many areas. The only doctors who are wealthy are the specialists where insurance doesn't cover like plastic surgeons, dermatologists, or opthamologists (LASIK eye surgeries)....Show more

Veta Slicker: UHC reduces doctors' salaries greatly--BUT in those countries, their doctors usually became docs at taxpayer expense, unlike the US, so you'd be doubly screwed by UHC.Doctors are not wealthy in the US--they make decent money. Specialists can become rich, but the fact is a GP gets about $160K a year--whoopee after figuring 50+ hours per week worked, malpractice insurance, repaying around $130K in student loans, paying for continuing ed, overhead if he has his own practice, etc. It's chump change.There are other professions who when you subtract out all of that make more--pharmaceutical SALES reps ! would be one and a lot less ed or time spent.Wish I could wake! the sleepwalking docs up: UHC is the END for them.IF they want to save their profession, THIS is the plan to go with:QUALITY, ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE health care for all.That means preventative care (physical with follow up). Real medication (no Medicare "donut holes" the really ill are ripped off again.) No bogus ridiculously low "caps" on needed medical procedures. No abuse of the ER. No paying for the silly with the sniffles to go to the doc for free. No more bankruptcies over medical bills. I want THIS plan that ends abuse of the taxpayer, takes the burden off employers, provides price transparency, and ends the rip-off of the US taxpayer at the hands of greedy insurance CEOs (which has been repeatedly documented).http://www.booklocker.com/books/3068.htmlRead the PDF, not the blurb, for the bulk of the plan. Book is searchable on Amazon.comCassandra Nathan's Save America, Save the WorldNathan's comprehensive, realistic, and for FREEDOM for doctors and patients. The "los! ers" in her plan are the special interests, especially thieving insurance companies who would be forced to HONOR THEIR CONTRACTS and be competitive. How unfair! Ha!...Show more
