It seems that there are efforts to use DEI to prioritize health care for minorities which will ensure that more republican-voting white people DIE waiting at the back of the bus.

Thanks to Deep State, and the willingness of practioners to knuckle under, the US now has a de facto NHS.

Clap for carers!

I feel like our entire society is a Potemkin Village. Nothing is as it appears to be. The News, the economy, the justice system, science, climate, elections — all of it is a lie.

the nation looks at how the government run V.A. healthcare is operating, and don’t like what they see.

i.e., one goombah specialist of type per city, or, 2 hr. drive to go see one, only on specific days.

case in point, only guy in town to het V.A. blessings to do arm venal care for dialysis quits. Now, from central Louisiana,, comes the trip to and fro between Lafsyette, Lake Charles, or Baton Rouge.

The biggest flaw in any health care system in an affluent country is that it’s built on a delusional expectation that people have some kind of Divine right to make someone else pay their medical bills.

The only way this kind of idiocy can perpetuate is through third-party payment schemes that mask the real cost of medical care by hiding it behind a curtain of bureaucracy.

BARRCOME (bureaucracy, administration, rules, regulations, compliance, oversight, mandates, enforcement) sucks all of the capital out of the system. What also happens is that the providers are at least 20% less efficient because they spend more time doing the documentation. The electronic record is a joke as there are 1800 different products certified. None of these proprietary products talk to each other because they would have to share code which would cut their profits. Since different specialties require different EMRs specific to their type of practice, to the providers and patients this means that the data is not shared between provider platforms. Regulations requiring more data collected shut down virtually all small Family Practice groups because the expense of hiring a data manager to massage their data made them unprofitable. This data collection was supposed to reward quality, but only if you were in the top 20% were you rewarded. If you were in the bottom 20% you were penalized even if you hit 95% of the metrics. Now virtually all family practices work for a large healthcare system which has the capital to afford the additional expenses. The practice of medicine is a relationship business that requires the practitioner establish a rapport so that that the patient feels comfortable discussing personal matters. Some patients require more time to actually tell their story. Medicine now is a transactional business that only allows billable time slots. Providers work harder and produce less ending in a moral injury making them choose between what they are told to do and what they know is right.
