Healthcare for All?

While UK Citizens struggle with the unintended consequences of a Socialist approach to Medicine,
USA Citizens fight each other, one proclaims “Healthcare For All” “Government Run Healthcare” “Medicare for All”
The Status Quo in USA is Public and Private Insurance.
Some Government controlled:
Medicare benefits of aged and disabled workers,
Medicaid: State run benefits for poor and children with special health needs
Private: Commercial Insurance and HMO plans, Employer sponsored Or Self insured individuals
Private Pay: no insurance. Several reasons: can’t afford, Preexisting conditions make premiums unaffordable,
May be Irresponsible, lazy, sick, depressed, didn’t think they’d get sick
Last the Non Profit Hospitals under Hill Burton Act must provide some free care in order to maintain their Non Profit status.
Some people in USA say we should just let The Government run this.
I feel like our system is working as well as it can at the moment.
Incremental changes to insure a safety net.
Mandate free care provision in non profit healthcare systems.
Just don’t let the Government take care of you.
We can’t afford that.
About a Questionnaire study of the Diagnosis-Treatment-Outcomes comparison,
Might want to do a worldwide study.
Don’t forget Serbia where patients get the Least.

Here’s the article that started my thoughts ruminating...

Healthcare Reform Not for the Faint of Heart ❤️




Healthcare Reform 
Has a nice ring to it
Lost to Payment Reformers 
Cloaked as Single Payer Proponents 
Only the Lawmakers Don’t Have the Same Rules.
This Room,
The Medical Examination Room,
Needs an update.

This room should be where you report to after the front desk verifies your identity.
Then you, the patient get a log in.
You proceed to download your recent health status,
In your words, answering questions,
Tailored to Your Unique Bio-Print,
Your illnesses, strengths, challenges,
Meds, reactions, Benefits, costs, stressors.
Family/support people have their sections.
You’re not sitting in the waiting room looking at people sicker than you
    Just a few thoughts...meg
