Outrage: Letting the reform of health care become a debate on $$$ instead of REFORMING health care |
|
Get the insurance companies, and the HMO's out of the picture. The cost of insurance has skyrocketed with HMO's - I suspect because they spend so much trying to deny claims. We need to change the incentives - right now the incentive ($$$) is NOT for preventive care, it is paying docs for the number of procedures they perform or tests they order.

Under single payer it is MUCH simpler. Not all practitioners "scam" the system as it is now though....
