]]> Comment on Should Hospital Costs be Capped or Regulated by the Government? by Chip http://www.health-insurance.org/health-cost-regulation#comment-921 Chip Mon, 16 May 2011 15:52:54 +0000 #comment-921 I believe Hospital and doctor fees should be capped at the same amount that Medicaid or Medicare is willing to pay for a given service or procedure. If the government isn't willing to pay their exorbitant fees and believes their payment is the fair market value, why should John or Jane Q. Public who has tried to be responsible and provide for their own health care willingly agree to a butt ream whenever they become ill? The majority of doctors today are only in the profession for the prestige and the money it provides them with. They couldn't care less about their patients or their families. The first words out of their mouth are "how do you plan to pay today?".. Not what's seems to be the problem, or how can we help you? The Hippocratic oath went out the window a long, long time ago. As for your comment on specious lawsuits.. Considering the caliber of doctors we have today, I'm surprised there aren't more! They're poorly trained, unprofessional, and have the bedside manners of undertakers. Your more likely to die in the hospital from a staph infection today than from the illness you're being treated for.

I am sure the spiritual health care options would benefit the patient more in the long run. I believe spiritual healing on the sick or hurt will last longer, be more efficient, and productive. I would absolutely apply for spiritual care insurance. I think it would be fantastic if insurance offered spiritual care options.

My Dad is 75, a vet and lives in Nebraska. My parents are both vets so they receive all their medical care through the vets hospital free. Diabetes is no different than my epilepsy; if taken care of properly it can be managable. I am really surprised to know Florida's views on diabetics. They definitely need to change! ! !

And lets not forget about the many lawsuites for no reason except that the person is going for the deep pockets and not taking some of the responsiblity for what may have gone wrong on themselves. Maybe they should have gone to the MD before the symptoms were sooooo bad>>>>>>>>> Maybe if there were not so many goverment regulations related to health care the costs would come down a lot!!!!!!!!!! re: HIPPA, OSHA.

]]> Comment on The Grim Reality of Universal Health Care by John Ghysels http://www.health-insurance.org/reality-universal-health-care#comment-39 John Ghysels Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-39 Good article. Thanks for posting it. Choice and flexibility is the key to health care. Universal systems, by definition, move toward rationing and restricted access rather than allowing consumers to make decisions based on value. I agree strongly with the concept of better health care access. Rules which work hand and hand with insurance markets can help with this, as was seen on the U.S. westcoast, when California put in place a government/industry partnership bill, in the form of Assembly Bill 1672, (AB-1672) in 1992. However, large government only insurance systems have proven to be, again and again, quickly undermined by health care individuals and organizations naturally oriented to obtain maximum revenue and minimum cost. I wish this were not so, but it simply is. Good article. Thanks for posting it.

As a webmaster for a group healthcare and financial products broker in Dade and Broward counties in South Florida, I see just how much the costs of care have risen here due to the heavy population of retirees and their needs for prescription drugs and just plain general health pictures. I am approaching retirement myself and have no desire to have to spend my hard earned annuities or IRA and 401K that I have saved as part of my retirement planning on healthcare insurance! Car pooling can help save a little, but healthcare reform would save me a whole lot more.

Wow! No one in Florida's government sees diabetes as a disability so I cannot get insurance! Another reason not to live in Florida....

They should give us money in a form of a tax credit to shop around for what you we deem to be proper coverage for us or our family. This will create more competition. The amount being 5,000 to 6,000 range. Also think that the money that we spend each year on the insurance that is not used should lower the monthly coverage cost. Good client appreciation type thing. Better incentive to eat right and what ever else. You can't blame the insurance company but you can blame the Doctor for when he/she once sees that the client is insured drives the price up. Then seeing that there may good doctors and bad doctors out there there should be a priced itemized contract that the individual is informed of. Like lets say "a stitch will cost you 20$ each".

Not only they are unproportional to average income but but simply ridiculous. Patients with chronic or life threatening conditions usually stress more about the ability to pay the bills than concentrate on getting well. Even if they have health insurance. This is unacceptable in the country like USA. It’s about time to put out-of-space charges for health care to rest. Not only they are unproportional to average income but but simply ridiculous.
