What’s the BEST way to fix healthcare in the US?
Question by BS,MS,Ph.D: What’s the BEST way to fix healthcare in the US?
If we go to a socialized system we will end up like Canada with 50% tax rates and insufficient practitioners (that’s why they come here), or like Britain where you have to wait up to 6 months for operations, and people are so desperate to see dentists they have to pull their own teeth, and a company called DIY Dental that sells over-the-counter filling material and temporary caps does booming business?
To FIX the US healthcare–you have to understand the problem. Imagine first having “grocery insurance”—you’d buy prime rib and caviar and champagne with abandon! Or “gas insurance” you’d always buy supreme! Without an incentive of checks and balances, there’s no way to reduce costs.
In West Virginia, they found that by rebating 10% of the nearly 100% error rate on hospital bills back to clients, that they immediately saved nearly one half on Medicaid costs.
BY requiring practitioners/pharmacies to have to openly list costs based on treatment codes or products, and placing an incentive for patients to shop for the best value via a similar rebate, it’s estimated health care costs could drop by 1/2 to 1/3rd immediately.
The poor could always be covered by vouchers or low cost insurance.
This is a simple way to address health care costs, cover the poor. and keep us with the BEST health care on the planet. The US has more drug and medical innovations and more CHOICES than anybody, and despite its flaws, we should maintain that and improve it.
If medical care becomes socialized it will be no better than social security, and your taxes will go through the roof!

Simple.
Put a limit on lawsuits.
(Bush tried it and the Democrats stopped him. Trial Lawyers then gave millions & millions to the Democrat Party.)
Our health care is costly because of shyster lawyers like John Edwards, who made millions with frivoulous lawsuits.
The best way is to leave everything just like it is except for creating special free clinics for poor people who can not afford medical care or don’t have any insurance. These clinics, as I mentioned, must be completely free of charge.
Abolish the Dept. of Homeland Security and the Defense Dept and start the Dept of Universal Health Care and Medical Science.
Your taxes should go down, not up, and you will save many many more lives than those two boondoggles have saved.
You money will be spent on medical solutions and prevention instead of weapons of death.
Plus you will have economic security and health care security for all.
Just think small business no more workman’s compensation insurance or minimum wage necessary.

Ew — I don’t like caviar or champagne. I’ll stick to the basics, thanks.
The best way I can think of to improve health care is to completely remove the government from it. Competition among various private practitioners will drive out the bad doctors: as people realize that a certain person’s care is much better than another’s, they will patronize the better business more. Eventually, you’ll have a bunch of really good doctors competing for your business by offering you better prices, better care, etc., and you won’t have to worry about the quacks so much anymore. Canada’s socialized system does not work: they concentrate more on healing those who will be more beneficial to the system over the long term (the young and relatively hale) than they do on those who often genuinely need it (the elderly). Also, if you visit a Canadian hospital, they will heal the person with a scrape before they get to your broken arm if the scrape came in before you did.
By letting businesses tend to themselves, the businesses in turn will eventually be able to care better for their customers.
Make people get a job and buy insurance, It works for me. My wife and I both work and pay 466 a month for insurance. It is very good insurance and i work hard to afford it. Why should I pay for someone who is too lazy to work and get their own insurance. If you can’t afford health insurance then the govenment should set something up. It would be crappy but better than nothing. I see no reason someone should get the same insurance I get when I work damn hard for it.
Quit making tax payers pay for children born to indigent
