The goverment has to lock down malpractice scams and abuses to really get a handle on skyrocketing costs.
The “government?”
Weren’t the insurance companies fighting the scams and fraud?
“The goverment has to lock down malpractice scams and abuses to really get a handle on skyrocketing costs.”
Medicare fraud, tort reform and buying across state lines.
New bill. 2 pages, 3 tops. Pass it and send it to the senate.
The price for health care without health insurance is plummeting. This is partly due to the fact that the high deductibles are keeping people away from the doctor unless they really, really need to go. So if you are paying by cash or credit card, you can end up paying a quarter or less than the same visit used to cost if you used insurance.

...never mind the medicare fraud. They even advertize on Fox (in plain sight) in order to snare the Depends crowd. I saw a Medicare official on this subject state on television that they “move to fast” for them to stop. Riiiiight...
Of the innumerable outrageous government lies of the last several years, possibly the worst has been that there has been little medical inflation compared to previous (=Bush) years. My wife’s simple, generic, ingredients made-in-55-gallon drum prescription tripled in the last 90 days. Or course, the cheap prescriptions subsidize the expensive ones that no one can afford. See? Obamacare works!
On a dollar-for-dollar outcome basis, our medical system is among the worst in spite of having the best medical educational system, doctors and technology - a truly amazing achievement. And Obamacare actually managed to make it worse!
