The Health of the American people should be the important for the government as Gasoline, coffee or Soy beans. The prices of healthcare are ridiculous. Before the Affordable care act the uninsured were able to go to County clinics or not for profit clinics to get assistance. The need for a healthcare reform is needed but instead of consulting the big health care insurance agencies we need to ask patients and health care professionals.
The cost can be lowered if we review the causes for them. For example, we don’t have a forum to review medical malpractice claims they go directly to court and the claims are settled and the insurance agency increase the primes for the doctors and thus increasing the cost of their services. Another example are hospitals, if you go to an emergency room every item is charged 5 to 10 times their retail cost. And even the insured end up with bills for more than $5k. The solution is a comprehensive reform that establish a fair treatment for patients while keeping the revenue of medical facilities and providers at a fair share.
