something is amiss.....we do pay too much for health care....
there are many reasons for this....
a few new laws, and stricter regulations, as there were in the 80's, and some restructuring and deregulation, might be able to draw in the colossal costs....as example, we should be able to negotiate for bulk discounts on our drugs for medicare recipients, we should be able to trade freely with other countries on drugs....for just one thing that could reduce all of our health care costs by 25%, streamlining paperwork/records/billing could be another 20% yearly savings, AMA getting rid of doctors with 3 malpractice suits, instead of defending these crappy doctors and FORCING higher malpractice insurance on to the innocent and proficient doctors...., more competition between states, allowing insurance companies to cross state lines without as many hurdles....
SOMETHING has to be done, BECAUSE we are loosing a great deal of business/manufacturing bids to overseas companies who do not have to foot the bill for employee health care....no?
