Do we dare discuss the Supreme Court decision re: Healthcare

[blue]

While working construction and now with computers/IT, I have met some pretty dang dumb doctors. Not 5 gallon bucket dumb, but not learning a thing they dont have to past getting the PHD or outside of their field. In the last year I met a doctor who was a year or two older then myself who had never, emphasis Never, used a computer until she started working at the facility 2 years ago. Thats 2010.

There are plenty of dumb people out their with high IQs. The smart Docs are the ones getting out of their practices and retiring.

LOL, back in the early 80s the first comps came onto the scene and the docs then were the guys that had been practicing since the eary 70's. They hated the comps because they had to learn to type.

Watching a doc type gave me hours of pleasure.

-----------------------------------------

They was a wave of OB docs who were leaving that part of he OB/GYN scene because of the malpractice insurance rates and lawsuits.

I had to laugh at the 'preventative medicine' talk in the OCA.

So, sending people to have preventative checkups will make them healthier?

Yes, but now you are asking physicians to see more patients during the day?

Well, they can be seen by NPs and that will solve that problem, but what their schedule?

The OCA is going to choke the system with patients, sick and well, during a time when their is a shortage of physicians.

---------------------

Again, getting insurance does not guarantee you are going to give everyone the same kind of treatment.

For some reason, the people who think that this CA will solve the problems in the system are the same people who believed Nancy Pelosi, who didn't bother to read the 2k pages of the act, she took it on faith that the thing will work.

"I didn't read it, it's good."

Really?

----------------------

I sincerely do not know what I am talking about.

I'll leave the expert opinions to the people who know it all.

They are the really, really smart people.

I love the fact that other countries have uni health.

I live in a country with Health Care --- guess where I stand on this subject? I love never having to worry about whether or not I can afford to see a doctor.

No, as I have heard many, many varying opinions from Canadians on their "universal health care" system. Don't know where in the spectrum you fall. The complainers make the most noise ...

Amen! Maybe some day we will be as lucky in this country!

Just found out that my insurance (one of the "cadillac plans so loathed by all in the discussion, after all, I'm a federal worker (BTW, I wish I had half the benefits the lunatics accuse us of having)) will cover an allergist visit, but not the materials used. In other words, go for a cut, and we'll pay for the visit, but you're paying $300 for the band aid.

ladies and gentlemen, the system is broken and needs a reset.

That's just about the silliest one I have heard! Sheesh! Like you, the patient, has any control of what materials the doc is going to use, either!

But ObamaCare will remedy all that and more!

If you are one of the next 30 callers, we'll cover the next visit for free, just pay a co-pay and any materials, paste, labels and S&H.

Again, you are charged on an average, whether or not they use all the supplies the insurance is billed for.

But why are we going to take away THEIR cut of the pie?
