You are so right. The healthcare costs went skyhigh when we first started seeing these multimillion dollar lawsuits.
The blame lies on the shoulders of the lawyers who got super rich (John Edwards?) from just one case. Their malpractice insurance is very costly.
I know one doctor who says it’s too expensive and too time consuming to run private practice so he just works in the ER. He has more time with his family and less stress this way.
What 2 sectors, outside government itself, have increased pricing well beyond the rate of inflation the last 30 years?
Higher education and health care.
In what 2 sectors has the government assumed the biggest role in subsidizing prices?
Higher education and health care.
The fact that the answers to these two questions are the same is hardly a coincidence. Despite Pres__ent 0's rhetoric to the contrary, we can expect more of the same in health care, the greater government involvement becomes, with the only antidote available to the payer (government) being ruthless, arbitrary rationing. Those that are elderly or with serious medical issues should prepare themselves for rough days ahead.
“Their malpractice insurance is very costly.”
yes it is, that’s why so many gp’s no longer deliver babies, i understand it is almost impossible to find an ob/gyn who delivers in florida
