"Bane" -- "a cause of great distress or annoyance".
With all the discussions about Obamacare health care costs why is the very little finger pointing at the gigantic gorilla in the room?
Why with all the respect shown for the medical professionals is their observation that the number one cost driver doesn't seem to merit any attention similar to tanning salons!
Yea... every one got so excited.. we're gonna shut down those terrible tanning salons by taxing them 10%! After all tanning causes cancer and cancer cause claims and claims make
up 80% of health insurance premium use.. so boy let's get after those mean old tanning salons!!!
All the while almost EVERYONE for some reason protects the millionaire lawyers!
Legal profession grossed $270 billion.
Yet everyone seems to ignore these millionaire lawyers MAJOR contribution to the $850 billion a year that the medical profession clearly states costs our health care system needlessly!
Now some of you truly DUMB people say "well doctors make referral income" or they own those MRI sites.. or some other totally ignorant comment!
First obviously those dumb people NEVER heard of the Stark Law that on penalty of prison forbids any health care provider that is paid by Medicare to refer for any services to other providers that would compensate the referring provider! SO that's one reason I believe these statistics.
The other reason... come on you idiots... why would intelligent people such as doctors complain about "defensive medicine" if it affected their pocket book?
90% of physicians say they order $850 billion a year in wasted duplicate tests, referrals all out of FEAR of being SUED!
Health News Observer ? Physicians Estimate The Cost Of Defensive Medicine In Us At 650 To 850 Bill Articles
So why are we so afraid to go after the NUMBER ONE reason for health insurance premiums to increase ?
Are you people that afraid ???
NOW I want to warn you idiots who complain about well doctors make mistakes... etc... YES they DO! NO question!
But when 94% of lawsuits are settled out of court mostly by the insurance companies because they know they can pass it on to US the premium payers.. isn't that the
really graft issue that is involved? REDUCE the $850 billion in wasted duplicate testing and you will reduce the cost of your premiums!
TAX the lawyers 10% and use that to pay the premium for the truly 4 million people that want, are legal and need insurance!
