First everyone should agree with these experts, i.e. physicians that send the claims to insurance companies and Medicare.
Anyone with any common sense should recognize that if these physicians are telling us they are requesting duplicate tests, referring to
specialists ALL BECAUSE they are afraid of lawsuits that should be believed. These physicians said and I'm not making this up:
..doctors all contend they spend 34% of the national $2.5 trillion in duplicate tests,referrals to specialists, etc.
ALL out of fear of lawsuits! That's $850 billion .. a YEAR!
Findings from this survey include the following:
So when Obamacare taxed tanning salons for causing cancer, it should be common sense then to tax lawyers for causing the $850 billion a year in defensive medicine.
10% of the $200 billion lawyers make generates $20 billion.
Now when the fact there are less then 4 million people that truly want, NEED and are eligible for insurance should be they can be covered by the $20 billion tax!
Further when these uninsured go to hospitals for care they are registered with and the claims sent to the Uninsured Health Insurance Co©.
As a result the hospitals will be audited to make sure claims submitted to Medicare/insurance companies are marked up as some Medicares have been 6,000%!!!
With the tax declining as the $850 billion declines and with the hospitals no longer marking up @ 6,000% the $850 billion PLUS wasted claims will be reduced!
I project easily $200 to $400 billion a year in cost reductions due to reduce defensive medicine/hospitals padding and passing!
As a result ALL Americans that are eligible that want insurance are covered! Problem solved without destroying the rest of the 98% of us health care!
