I 100% agree with you. Yes, tort reform. Yes, remove all of the "money changers (lobbyists) from the temple".
I have an MD friend who is a professor and researcher at a major medical school, who says that 51% of medical costs are administration and other costs NOT providing medicine and rehabilitation.
Is that not the crux of the problem? and a major reason that we pay too much here in the USA? In Europe costs average 60% less.
Don't kid yourself. You are already paying for other's illnesses. It's called Medicaid, + Medicare when you turn 65.
Hard to ignore that every other developed country in the world has single payer of some type, and their medical costs average around 60% of what we pay here. Remember, these are democracies, and the people can dump it if they want.
Here the insurance "industry" and paperwork costs skim about 45% off the top. This is what needs to be addressed. Cut out the middleman.
that system will not work in this country. forget it pal. we can't afford it.you think handing over the system to the gov't will cut the middleman????!! lol
so why destroy the programs already in place? you siad it yourself.. we have medicaid. i hate it... and i wouldn't say those nations are democracies. sorry... your facts are wrong... there is no good reason for this bill. every other country is in the crapper. the PIGS are about to financially fail miserably.
Maybe they will get it after Scott Brown won Massachusetts tonight. If they have any sense now they will get it. Also today two Republican Governors were sworn in....one in Virginia and one in New Jersey.
The democrat party plan B is how they are going to beat Sarah Palin in 2012. If an anti-abortion conservative republican like Brown can win in MA then Palin can win anywhere since she and Brown are about 100% agreement on the issues. Dems are already conceding that 2010 will be a disaster maybe losing both houses.
The bad thing is the MSM is making her look bad every chance they get, just as they did Dan Quayle years ago and ruined his chances of running for president.
Why should they mention a DailyKoS poll which is clearly from an organization who is in the tank for Democrats? Its the ONLY poll out of many which doesn't show Brown ahead. What? Are you afraid to mention that its a KOS poll? Why would you not want to mention the name of the poll since you think they are credible?
@KyleRoku It doesn't really matter, even or ahead, it says a lot for what the Democrats are in store for come November. This Massachusetts race should have been a shoe in for any Democrat running for the seat, but it isn't.
Most of the polls are either robocalls (some unaccountable) or sponsored by one side or the other. Caputo didn't identify the name of one of the two polls he mentioned either. How about PJM/CrossTarget? Nobody ever heard of that one until a few days ago. Who are they calling? The real poll is tomorrow. We will both see what happens.
United we stand, divided we fall. If compromise is no longer possible, America will, indeed, fail. It won't be just President Obama that will fail, as some wish.
Time for the Dems to get their act together. Time to change their leadership in the House and Senate, and time to get rid of the panderer Tim Kaine (just another McAuliffe).
Time to kick the money changers (lobbyists) out of the temple. Time to simplify health care (yes, single payer!), time to scrap the 2100 page bill written by the money changers.
single payer is a fucking horrible idea. then again so is an obama administration... and we're dealing with that... as much as we can. personally i think healthcare needs to stay private... the gov't needs not to intervene... they don't solve anything... and it's too expensive for the tax payer... i don't want to pay for your illness. call me selfish... but i don't.

Medicare's paperwork costs: 3%. Private insurance: 15%!

One error: should be:
In Europe costs are 60% of what we pay.

leave their healthcare alone. the system won't work by expanding it the way everyone in obama's admin. wants to.

tort reform is not in obama's vocab. neither is the term middle class.

Repeating what I said:
"Here the insurance "industry" and paperwork costs skim about 45% off the top. This is what needs to be addressed. Cut out the middleman."
I believe what I said is pretty clear, but just in case:
Route of money flow - - - -
Patient - Insurance Co. - Providers (including doctors).
Is that any clearer?
