the number one and two causes of high health insurance premiums and continued Medicare spiraling costs which are:
1) (PLEASE SEE BELOW survey!!!) physicians surveyed said:
Physicians estimate the cost of defensive medicine in US at $650 to $850 billion per year.
This is 26% to 34% of all US healthcare costs.
2) "In 1986, Congress enacted the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) states any hospital taking Medicare payments must see uninsured people! Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) - Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
As a result hospitals "pad and pass" on to Medicare sometimes marking up 6,000% over their costs claims so they can recoup their
expense for seeing uninsured! HOW f...king stupid!
So if the people that make the claims i.e. Doctors say they send duplicate, referrals,etc. all out of FEAR of lawsuits and they would NOT send claims why do even conservatives NOT be outraged at lawyers?
Obama care taxes tanning salons as they allegedly cause cancer.
Obama won't tax lawyers at 10% of their $200 billion a year income because lawyers gave him and congress $300 million in 2008 alone!
So between the $850 billion a year... in defensive medicine and because of EMTALA hospitals over charge sometimes by 6,000% there is easily $200 billion a year in savings between the reduction in defensive medicine and using the $20 billion tax on lawyers to pay the premium for the TRULY 4 million people that WANT and NEED insurance that hospitals currently see and then pass on by overcharging Medicare..i.e. EMTALA!!! Most uninsured unable to pay hospital bills according to new HHS report
Other studies have estimated that the bills for all types of health care that the uninsured cannot pay the uncompensated cost of care is up to $73 billion a year, a significant portion of which is shifted into higher costs for Americans with insurance and their employers
Most uninsured unable to pay hospital bills according to new HHS report
So the solution is tax lawyers 10% use the $20 billion to pay $5,000 premiums for the 4 million truly uninsured.
Audit hospitals that send their uninsured expenses as claims against the $5,000 premiums and NOT use their uncompensated costs
by padding and passing on to insurance and employers... SEE Most uninsured unable to pay hospital bills according to new HHS report
