How’s that?
Wow! It looks like I asked the right person! I agree with a lot of this. the only problem I have is with the first suggestion ... there is no way to keep these people out of emergency rooms, and the Doctors are sworn to help all those who need it. This issue is the toughest one, I think.
Good job the rest though, you really thought this through.
If a doctor wants to make that individual, compassionate choice, that is his God-given, professional right. And we as a society owe him/her our thanks. In fact, many, many doctors and dentists volunteer their time both home and abroad to help people. This - not government largesse with your and my tax money - should be encouraged.
My answer to that w/b for the government to have a limited charity hospital system for those who won’t or can’t pay.
That would take all charity cases away from the mainstream hospital system and finally do something to lower costs.
