For the 9,548th time, the biggest problem with Obamacare was it increased demand, but did nothing about increasing supply (doctors, nurses, hospitals). There may not be a need for more hospitals as stays are shortening, but it does no good to have insurance if you cannot see a practitioner.

Our medical system was designed a hundred years ago for the benefit of doctors who had few useful tools to treat people. It hasn't changed.

If banking hadn't changed we'd still be walking into banks and having 'a banker' OK our withdrawals - a banker who knew us by name - AND IT WOULD COST A FORTUNE ...

SAME WITH MEDICAL CARE.

It costs a fortune and doesn't work well because it has NOT been brought into the modern world. Your medical records should be kept on a heath care computer designed by Bill Gates and you should be able to access it via your computer. Every 5th prescription of antibiotics might require a visit to a computerized health center... where after a machine diagnosis a live doctor will look at you and confirm the machine's choice.

Yes, the world is ready for ATM machines at banks and they're ready for computerized medicine. Hello Bill Gates - REALLY want to help the world? Set up the software system that uses the questions the best diagnosticians use to diagnose disease and program it into computers.Bruce Bialosky is on the right path - he just doesn't go far enough... Medicine should be better, cheaper and more accessible... to all.

I am no fan of doctors, trust me, but nowadays most of them are just little cogs in the wheel of really, really big Big Medicine.
