Docs Told They Must Drive Health System Change (focus on "cost value" first, not the patient)
Medpage Today ^ | April 11, 2013 | David Pittman

Doctors are the only people who can drive the change in healthcare delivery that's needed to save the country from a financial crisis, a health policy expert said here.

Emanuel highlighted six elements that must underline payment and delivery reform efforts:

-- Focus on cost value

-- Focus on the patient

-- Standardize processes

....

"We need a big infrastructure to be able to deliver high-quality care going forward," Emanuel said.

Yup. And the results won’t be pretty. Feel bad for the youngsters as they’ll never have the level of care that used to exist. They just won’t know it.

If the income of doctors were doubled, the total healthcare cost would increase by less than 1%.

Those advocating the system do not intend to save money, but prefer to not provide healthcare or intentionally ignore the statistics, if not both.

The young will do very well to eat right, and manage their health. Unfortunately they’re, as it is now, going to be forced to pay for those who refuse to do so.

We don’t need a big infrastucture if .....

Depends on what the meaning of "we" is .... The Machine "needs" it, we patients and taxpayers don't. Which last is irrelevant to political creatures like Dr. Emmanuel.

What, "death to Healthcare resisters!"? Is that what you're selling?

PROSECUTOR: "He failed to manage his health!"

JUDGE: "Motion for directed verdict of 'guilty' is granted. The Convict is hereby sentenced to death!"

That'll make Rahm Emmanuel smile ..... all those elderly Republicans ..... "Dead, dead, dead!!!" </ off screaming Rahm the Slayer>

Hasn’t ANYONE in government heard of the KISS system?

Yes. It's poison, they hate it and avoid it like the plague.

That’s what they want.

No. It’s a nightmare science fiction deal.

People will be wise to avoid the medical system and take control of their own health.

It’s going to be discouraging to have to pay for others’ medical care, as Chief Justice Roberts has allowed the regime to order.

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.

"Soylent Green is people" ..... famous old movie line.

Yeah, these guys are "scientific" .... like Dr. Mengele and Dr. Todt. They mean to get even the squeal out of their pigs, and use that for something, too.

CommieCare ™, brought to you courtesy Obama, Reid, Pelosi & Marxists R US Inc., aided and abetted by useful idiots Mitt Romney (RomneyCare precedent), cowardly Chief Justice Benedict Arnold Roberts and the full cast of toothless, spineless, hornless, godless, unprincipled GOP-e turncoat RINO herd.

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.

Cost Value - Rationing. All Democrats served everyone else go to the back of the line, after the illegal immigrants.
