Health Care

First of all, what we can afford has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of producing anything. We will either pay those costs or not get the benefits. Moreover, if we cannot afford the quantity and quality of medical care that we want now, the government has no miraculous way of enabling us to afford it in the future.
If our government has a magical way to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse the question is why have we not done this before. If we cannot afford the doctors and the medical technology that we have now how are we ever going to afford, better care in the future, especially with the added weight of paying for government bureaucracy. Our politicans love talking about how much doctors get paid and how big pharmaceutical companies make tons of profit, but that truey is a small part of health care cost.

If our government wanted to truely lower health care cost the would start by iliminating careless lawsuits. A way to do that would be, if you lose your lawsuit you have pay for the other parties attorney fees. It would be amazing to watch how attonerys would then shy away from cases. It would also lead to more case actually going to trail because it would no longer just be cheaper for the defendants to just settle out of court. Now why has something like this never been done? Political donations, lawyers are major contributers for politicans and politicans now that if they ever took this away from them the contibutions would dry up quickly.

On the same line of thinking, if we ever limited how much a person could sue for over mal-practice health cost would surly drop. One of the major cost of doing buisiness as a doctor is Mal-practice insurance. The price of this insurance has risen at such a high rate that many doctors are leaving private practice to join hospitals and other medical centers so that they don't have to worry about it. I understand that it can be devistating to lose someone you love because someone made a mistake but does it hurt les because you get 100 million dollars. Lets be honest unless you are making an obsured amount of money your not going to earn that in your lifetime. Lets make it more like 10 Million or even 5. Your loved ones would still be taken care of and if there is a set amount of money that you are going to receive there would be no need to pay an attorney a third of what you get. The other thing that gets me about this is that doctors aren't perfect, we might want them to be but thier not. This insurance is suppose to be for when the doctor makes a terrible error in judgement not when a surgoen is attempting a very dangerous surgery and just can't fix it. By the way now surgeons are turning people away with tough cases for fear of being sued or dropped by their insurance. So a person that my have had a 20 percent chance of living if the had a risky surgery now have no chance becaue no one will operate.

This ideas are mine and I just wanted to share them with you, give you something to think about while your at work. Remember who you vote for and your ideals are your rights as an American. Just remember your vote an ideals can have an effect on not just you but future generations. It is our right and responsibilty to protect this country and what it stands for.
