Sounds like laziness to me
Lawyers account for another 21 percent.
Obamacare is the pinnacle of wealth distribution
and we knew this 20 years ago, this looks like a federal agency trying to justify itself by copying someone else’s work.
This will be solved by the death panels.
Don’t worry. Obamacare has a provision for dealing with the 1% .. They call um death panels.
Many suffer from the phenomenon known as “extreme uncoordinated care.”
Another disability?
It’s no coincidence they’re pushing this in the schools right now.
Prepping little johnny for the death panel rejecting his grandfathers heart surgery as ‘too expensive’ and a ‘waste of resources’.

my one sil has had gastric bypass, is at least two foot surgeries, visits to the eye dr and of course hysterctomy....on mulitple meds and seems like she sees the dr every other week....also back surgery...all on the public dime since she got "disabled" and was on SSD from the early 20's until early 40's, then worked for a few years before she got "disabled" again...turns out she is diabetic, took horrible care of herself and now is facing dialysis and of course wants to get a transplant too....
these three people alone have cost the taxpayer a few million dollars.....three people....
Let’s start by refusing heart bypasses and replacement parts to 95 year olds. You can’t rely on the common sense of doctors because they don’t have any objections as long as the taxpayers are paying for it.
I’ll bet that these consumers of the biggest portion of the Healy care budget are drug and alcahol abusers and AIDS virus carriers.
Liberals always like to put a price on life. Don’t fall for their “you are too expensive to let live” crap. Always respond, “Well, then we should proactively kill you to prevent the risk that you one day might become expensive.”
They wind up in emergency rooms....because there is a sign that says no one will be turned away....aka...medical welfare.
Criminals account for a lot of healthcare spending too.
My friends grandson went to an autism rehab camp this summer. She finally realized after watching the rehab process...."What a lot of cr**".
If its not taxpayer money, then I don’t care what they spend
If you don’t give an incentive for the 1% - 5% to save money, then they have no reason to do avoid what they are doing now; and it is an easy remedy! Problem is, it would be an antithesis to government run care. Try convincing people (outside of Free Republic) that you can do something without government taxing it’s people.
For people on limited incomes who may not have doctors, insurance, reliable transportation, and often don’t seek attention until it’s too late medical help right on the property can be a godsend. And save hundreds of dollars in pharmacy/emergency room/ambulance costs. Almost any exam or treatment that can be done in a real doctor’s office can be done in the rolling clinic. A trip to the emergency room for flu shots, checkups, prescription renewals, and other non-emergencies can be done for 100-200.00 vs. costing the public health care system about $1,000 a visit.
While one could easily assume that the poor and elderly take up the biggest chunk of medical care $$$ a study by England’s NIH concluded that it was well-off people who take good care of themselves who were the biggest problem. Their reasoning, which made perfect sense in the world of bureaucrats but met with understandibly scathing criticism when it was released to the public, was that the poor generally didn’t take care of themselves (maybe because they couldn’t afford to?) put off medical care until it was too late and basically just went off on their own and died. The better off, on the other hand, stayed fit, exercised, watched their diets and were quick to seek medical attention. Not only that they were brazen enough to demand expensive treatments that dragged on at much expense before dying. In the topsy-turvey world of medical bureaucrats the achievers were once again seen as the drain on the system.
