I mean a completely separate system, including facilities and staff, when I say the "gov't cheese of healthcare". Think VA, but worse, just enough to keep the poor from dying in the gutter and keeping them from driving up costs at private, consumer facilities.
Now if charities want to pick up the slack, then liberals can bankroll it with their own cash (for a change).
I disagree. I also want personal medical bills to be tax deductible 100%.
Incorrect, doctors are people to, they do love their toys. They open practices and pay other people. Nothing wrong with employing more americans. The whole "Dr's retire young" is a meme. They never do. They buy toys and sheit.
This is what I'd prefer to see.
One great example of how fucked Medicare is, was when you'd bill chemo drugs.
One of our drugs had a cost TO US, of 1,200 a CC. We billed the patient 1,500 a CC and frequently lost money on that. The drug has to be handled securely, stored at a certain temp, and only had a shelf life of 20 days. If any of those factors broke, you had to throw it away.
Here's the fucked part. It only came in 30 CC vials. THAT WERE ONE TIME USE. So….
You push 31 CC on a patient?
You had to throw away the leftover 29 CC of drug. So, the total drug cost (TO THE DOCTOR) was 1,200 * 60, or $72,000.
You'd bill medicare the rate:
1,500 * 60, or $90,000
Then they'd only pay you for what you put in the patient, or 31 CC.
31 * 1,500 = $46,500
REMINDER: Cost to the Dr was $72,000. So, you just lost $23,500 giving a patient chemo.
The issue here is that every doctor they hire requires 8+ years of education, with medical schools only able to pump out so many a year. Then these doctors have plans of opening their own practices.
This also causes issues with staffing hospitals
I know several doctors, they're all buying houses and fast food franchisees for passive income with plans to retire and play with toys.
FREE MARKET PRIVATE PRACTICE OR NOTHING
competition is good for prices and health care is not to be state provided. total freedom get off the gov't dole
Then you're working with dinosaurs. They should be working the nurse practitioner and PA game.
Interesting. All of mine are old and just scale back hours / practice.
Thirties to early forties.
As I understand it many patients are less than thrilled to deal with nurse practs.
I'm not in healthcare, no idea what this is.
Yeah, I've noticed the old guard are in it for the long haul. I wonder if it's generational differences, or if the ones looking to retire young in their age group did, leaving them.
It's insane to allow "people" crack smoking niggers for example to receive the exact same quality of care for "free" while responsible people are paying out the ass for their own care AND subsidizing said crackhead's "free" care.
It puts motives and incentives so completely out of sync with reality, not to mention it skews all sorts of market principles…because niggers aren't spending their own money, so they'll hit up the ER for a $1500 taxpayer-funded visit (instead of the urgent care clinic for $50) to get a RX of antibiotics or a bandaid. It's not their money, why care?
Not to mention the mess that is medicare "reimbursement" (like you referenced in the chemo example).
I'd relax standards so that wasted 29cc would be administered by a PA in the gov't cheese medical clinic. Civil immunity too, no niggers suing the gov't clinic.
I'm 72885b, my tor connection was fucking up and I HATE using the onion site

White man's burden. Just literal this time.

I actually like this idea, but the logistics are impossible.

That's why god gave us 99211's fam. 5 minute consult with an established patient.
PA is physician assistant, and is a step beneath Nurse practitioner.
Most of my docs are old guard spics. So they're in it for the money and giving back to their new country. But, they're in their late fifties, so it very well could be generational differences.
