We have a clinic here in Phoenix, Az called “neighborhood Christian Clinic” run entirely by private doctors and nursing staff who DONATE their time and resources to provide medical care to poor and homeless people’s...Why can’t we repeal all12 of the mandates, open up the free markets and find ways to help encourage more of these clinics all across this great nation?
We have to lower the cost but all the $$$$$ in it with a lot of it on the taxpayer dime already (Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration) makes the real reform you envision so difficult.
There’s a gravy train out there and a ‘healthcare industry’ consolidating into bigger entities, increasing profits to satisfy shareholders (including myself with healthcare stocks part of my retirement investments).
There’s money to be made with healthcare jobs as well.
A Registered Nurse can start out making 20 percent more than a teacher’s starting salary.
Yes, my daughter’s started nursing school.
May God help us to take the right actions to address this issue because politicians don’t seem to be ready, willing or able to take those actions.
You and I can write or speak to them but the $$$$$$$ from healthcare corporations, insurance companies and lets never forget the “pharmaceutical-industrial complex” aka “pharma” speak so much louder.
