She is beside herself. Now that the final nail has been driven into the US medical industry it's hit her hard. Main issue for doctors is that they are being mandated too and regulated like never before. Most of Obamacare focuses on regulations, not the patient. That's what most people don't get. It's all about reporting back to the government. They will be determining your treatments and watching every facet of your "care". This is scary. Take some time and dissect the bill. It's a whopper, makes our tax code look like 1st grade reading. [/quote] Where has your ignorant sister been??? What do you think the HMO's and insurance companies have been doing for decades?! [/quote] There's a huge difference between pushing for profit under Capitalism vs. pushing for control of the populace under government thugs. [/quote] So pushing for rights of the patient is wrong ?, Holding the Hospitals and doctors accountable is wrong ?, they have hidden behind their HMOs and Insurance companys for years making millions of your healthcare. How can you have the patient in mind when all the Hospital your working for is concerned about is profit margins. [/quote] Insurance company "A" sells a policy and does business faster and at lower cost than companies "B" and "C". The Patient/Customer will pick "A" most of the time, but has the option under Capitalism to stay with "B" or "C" if they are more comfortable doing so. It's called Competition. The public, or patients at large benefit from it in the long run. [/quote] you need to get them fuckers out the system (insurance companies) [/quote] Curious, if you are indeed in New Zealand, what type of Health Care system do you have and are you happy with it? [/quote] I think most American would kill to have our health system...My dad is going thru chemo at the mo and he ain't got to worry about no doctors bills...his drugs max spend under $10....Our govt subsidies most (taxes) http://www.everybody.co.nz/page-0a4164ca-3942-4d25-a6af-fa77aac8de68.aspx [/quote]
