    I’m sure Rep. Paul “Science is a lie from the Pitt of Hell” Broun (R-GA) would agree.

    Or by getting a job with the IRS.

    The CPAs with the Insurance companies make the decisions on the care we get. Especially what tests are allowed.

    The health insurance companies are doing this already..Also, ask anyone from Canada/England/Australia if they would replace their health coverage with ours and you’d get a laugh or look of are you insane?.Here are a few a simple solutions that you’d should be suggested:1. Anyone can get Medicare, not by force by choice2. Medicare has the power to make deals with the drug companies for best price.3.The prices that the hospitals charge should be investigated time to time. $3 for a single aspirin?

    Expecting doctors to fix the healthcare system is like expecting auto mechanics to fix air pollution.

    I’m just wondering about the intelligence of a doctor who puts a left glove on his right hand.

    And if members of Congress can’t become health care experts, they can always join the Board of Education. (Shudder.)

    You mean like the woman who claimed she would have died on the waiting list — except that no one has ever died from the tumour she had?

    Congress is not only the experts on medicine, they are also the experts on defense, economy, foreign relations, obscenity, and the list goes on. Oh, and of course, giving themselves pay raises that they so richly deserve for all the hard work that they do.

    Put everybody on Medicare—-it works. Young people in the system would make it affordable for all.

    I don’t have to deal with insurance companies except for part D prescriptions which they could easily have made part of Medicare, except they had to appease the insurance companies and drug companies’ profit motives—-just like Obama Care does.

    Run for congress? Heck no! The REAL health experts are the ones who work for the insurance companies. The ones in charge of denying claims…

    The Chasm of Sar is a wonderful sight, and only a short drive from Synchrono City.The wonderful thing about government health care so far is that everybody pays for it, only a few are able to benefit from it, and it is still financially troubled. They even limit what they will pay for care, the remainder of which the health care providers make up by raising care costs across the board in order to collect the shortfalls from actual paying customers, most of whom have insurance, which must then cut corners and reduce risks wherever possible to maintain a customer base to assume the risks that cannot be avoided, such as everybody on socialized health care whose remunerations are capped by the IPAB.People who will not pay the penny-pinching insurance companies to cover every possible malady or syndrome are going to gladly pay the government to throw their money away and try to save some semblance of cost-consciousness by cutting services considered inappropriate or not cost effective for those actually paying the bills.Yay!
