Health-Care Reform's Public Support Problem

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!

A Doctor by Choice, a Businessman by Necessity

Having personally been a billing & IT manager at a multi specialty practice I saw the money problems first hand. One of the biggest was the large/long time delay from billing till payment was received, our states Medicaid averaged over 60>180 days, Medicare was not much better and our ICD-9 coding was excellent. The other side was fighting doctor to place aged accounts in collection- in a timely manner. All that said the costs of a practice are huge and add the paperwork. Doctors fighting modernization is a big big hurt to cost reduction, to many are stuck in there ways. Just went to a fully computerized practice and no surprise it was a very young outstanding doctor who DID give great patient care.

The BULLY PULPIT at work in the US Senate

This is a horrid state of affairs with out the tax provision the only way to keep the stupid trillion ceiling is to deeply cut coverage to what 95% of the population- thus a huge cut of coverage for the poor. Or what cuts in transplants, chemo-therapy, medications; the list of cuts is open ended. Why the cave in now after today's upbeat news from the White House???

Arizona Is It A Lost Cause???

When are the do nots like Arizona going to get their act together and help our country be ready. But then Arizona is all ways last in all the polls - it is disgusting, for a state who has the 5th largest city and a [now] republican government.

Am I griping you bet I am. I am also an Arizona resident, since 1965, as well as a registered voter. I have over time lost count of how many letters I have written to both the State and Federal government asking us to improve. To no avail!!

Transplants are a Cadillac

I am adding this link to George's review as he is one of my most respected reporters.

The comment I want to make [below] is an observation of mine of tonight's debate and not anything to do with Nightline or George Stephanopoulos' Op-Ed.




Did anyone else notice on Health Care that John McCain spoke of TRANSPLANTS being in the Cadillac category of Health Care. Senator McCain therefore you do not consider a Heart or Kidney transplant to be a norm but a luxury to Americans, if so, shame on you.
Another reason I am glad that I voted (already mailed my ballot) for Sen Obama!!
