Health Care Reform: 450,000 Doctors Can't Be Wrong

The U.S. has a catastrophically fragmented health care system that provides incentives for sick care instead of prevention. The system is in dire need of reform -- reform to save lives, to save families and to save money for both patients and the American health care system.

Stand with more than 450,000 doctors who support health care reform. Call Congress: (202) 224-3121.

Modern health care isn't caring and it isn't about good health.

@migrational I think you must have misunderstood what I wrote . Being a Brit and living with our NHS single payer system I like most Brits rich or poor would never get rid of the NHS. I doubt any Brit since 1947 as gone bust because of health cost. Will always be able to pay prescription costs.We do not understand the idea of co-pay, deductibles, pre-existing conditions. Never receive direct billing for heath care (think what that saves in administration cost) . Regards

Sorry, doctors are the real problem with the medical system now. Deflecting the blame does not change the fact that doctors are denying procedures based on their own prejudices and beliefs. So no, 45 thousand doctors are most certainly wrong. They just want to be sure they can get more money, that's it.

I believe in prevention first and cure second.

@Clownwhiper My own example how it work. 40 years ago my hearing was damaged in an accident. After several operations I was supplied with a hearing aid FOC by the NHS some years ago my hearing further deteriorated and they fitted me with a BAHA bone-inductor aid complete with free life long maintenance including new aid every 3 years + batteries and check up. Direct cost to me? Zero. I think buying a BAHA in the US would beyond my means. The NHS does have its problems but on the whole is OK.

@Clownwhiper Prescription are £7.40 per item you can buy a 3 month certificate for £29.10 this saves you money if you need four or more items in 3 months period or a 12 month certificate is £104.00 and saves money if 15 or more items are needed in 12 months. So in theory you would have to pay a maximum of around $160 per year no matter how many drugs you take. Drugs issued in Hospitals are free. There are many categories where they are free over 60s, children under16, students at Uni examples

@jsgdk Well said.

I have been saying this for 30 ears. Why do people find it acceptable for a company to make money gambling on your health? Why is this not a Not For Profit sector?????? WHY
