So will the change thier oath? “ First .... do things cheaply. “
While talking to my dermo a couple of weeks ago, I was told that since they are being forced to upgrade/digitize just about everything there would be less hours available for actually seeing and treating patients. Appointments would be more scarce and patient time would be shorter. Sounds like a good idear to me. NOT!
In other words..."Dear Mr. Washington Health Care Bureaucrat: May I please, please, PLEASE have this operation to save my life?"
My small infrastructure local clinic and university hospital have done perfectly well for decades.
I hate these bastards and what they are doing.
The old is new: WWII Army sick call, “Here’s your aspirin, next!”
It's that "big infrastructure" that's created the mess we're in. It started with WW2 wage controls adding health insurance as an employment benefit, the 1965 Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (Medicare) supercharged it and now Obamacare has it flying into the mountain at full speed and on afterburners.
If you ever want to see a higher quality product at a lower cost, you'd need a smaller infrastructure, with less government control.
Docs should say, “There were no doctors included in the writing of the legislation, why should we push it?”
If I had to run my practice like that, there would be a lot of unhappy clients. It’s not about the money you know. If you are running a bank, yes, a medical or legal practice, it’s about the client with the problem.
Thomas Sowell:
“It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.”
What would you expect from Rahm Emanuel’s brother?
Too old, too sick, too bad...no treatment for you.
Not in a very long time has the medical system focused on patient first.
And that’s one reason the cost of medical care has gone way out of control, much like the trend in college tuition.
Our medical system is sick. It thrives on sick people and it takes money form insurance companies and the gov’t in medicare.
And that is why a destructive force can move in and take it over.
Actually, what used to be, and what was, not ‘better’ but complimentary, was people taking responsibility for their health.
The wise will want to do this and to help their families do so.
The AMA embraced abortion rights. It will fall as will all other systems that embrace killing innocents.
The best route is to take care of one’s health, avoid the medical system have catastrophic insurance if possible and find mds that will cooperate.
Easy Kill Emmanuel. What a tool.
The totalitarian government will decide who is worthy of first class government “provided” healthcare and who gets the pill, ie, death panels. This was the real intent of CommieCare to begin with.

Emanuel, IIRC, is Rahm’s brother.
Screw the big government solution to healthcare. We need to repeal Obamugabecare big time.

This mentally diseased libturd is advocating that physicians should take over the administration of Obamacare.
In my business I worked daily with physicians and can tell you they are, by and large, brilliant when it comes to medicine and largely ignorant when it comes to business or administration.
Which makes a lot of sense: They are doctors, not MBAs.
Emanuel, Bronson, Berwick and others are blovating from their ivory towers and haven’t a clue about how to run a healthcare business. If they did, they would be.
