Aside from greedy doctors, naricssistic nurses, and oblivious orderlies.............
You've got greedmongering corporations buying out or squashing, as many honest doctor practices as they can.
"Healthcare" corporations don't want ANYBODY getting medical care or health care UNLESS THEY APPROVE IT!
Sure there are SOME good medical professionals out there, but more often than not.......you're going to end up with a pill pushing "yes" man/woman to their corporate overlords. Instead of fixing whats wrong with you, they're just gonna throw some pills at it, prolong it, and drag it out until you need a hospital visit or die..........because these corporate managed doctors and nurses are only allowed to do and say what their overlords tell them too. Which is "push the pills" and "drag it out".
But why the high cost of medicine?
Administration. Paper pushers, button punchers, keyboard jockeys. Over 50% of the medical administration and billing offices/services in healthcare are unskilled, untrained, and uncaring workers. They can't be bothered to hire intelligent, well trained, and knowledgable people. Although they do "luck out" sometimes in hiring a few here and there, like me.........but when we see how corrupt and assbackwards, uncaring, unfeeling, and demonic these companies are, we go someplace else. Not that it really changes anything.
But instead of attracting and hiring well trained and educated people for administrative work, they hire "off the street". And they don't train them either. "Training" consists of giving them their passwords, setting up their work station, and then telling them to "figure it out".
Instead of paying competent people to do the work they already know how to do, they hire three times as many off the street, in order to "make do".
And since Obozo was in office, more and more of these "healthcare" companies are shutting down their US administrative and billing offices and sending it all over to India. India.........where they DO NOT have HIPAA laws, and sell OUR private information to all sorts of scammers. These places in India these companies are sending our private information to don't care about it either. If they can make money off of OUR pain and suffering, they are more than happy to do it.
BY LAW, our personal information is NOT supposed to leave OUR borders, but every day it does.......and has for many, many years now.
Ever wonder how all these scammers get your information? Now you know.
The waste of time, personnel, managers, office resources, office buildings, wages, benefits, etc.....has become an astronomical expense of these companies, simply because they refuse to pay above average wages for TRAINED employees that KNOW the business. Instead of hiring ONE knowledgable, competent, TRAINED employee for $30 an hour........companies would rather hire 50 off the street employees at $10 an hour, to do all the work of that one single highly trained employee.
And the fuckups these low wage, off the street employees make all day, every day..........costs the company hundreds of thousands of dollars a week! And that is NOT counting the wasted wages and benefits they get as well!
Next time you get a letter or statement from your doctor office or the healthcare company..........KEEP IT! That piece of paper costs YOU THE CUSTOMER, on average, of $250.00 - $500.00 for processing!
So remember that next time the nurse gives you a $60 aspirin tablet........when a bottle of 100 tablets only costs $1.25 at the dollar store!!!!!
