here's your free healthcare, dear rabble.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/he...ef=todayspaper
no more breast exams, no more pap tests until 50 and 40 respectively. its rationing, pure and simple. all hail obama. mammograms: """It found that one cancer death is prevented for every 1,904 women ages 40 to 49 who are screened for 10 years....""" uh, there are 23 million women in the US in that age group. lets do some math. 12,000 deaths are prevented by screening that age group (by their numbers). not only that, but the argument is now being framed that the "less testing" group are "backers of science driven medicine" and that its "the scientific perspective" you know, those of us who know early detection equates to lives saved still think the earth is flat. Its truly shocking that our populous has become so sheepish as to be spoon fed this shit and accept it. """For decades, the medical establishment, the government and the news media have preached the mantra of early detection, spending untold millions of dollars to spread the word. Now, the hypothesis that screening is vital to health and longevity is being turned on its head, with researchers asserting that mammograms and Pap smears can cause more harm than good for women of certain ages.""" now early screening is a "hypothesis" and we're supposed to believe early testing "can cause more harm than good" hahahaha, yes. undetected cancer leads to death, what is the "harm" that matches that on the other side? wake up sheep.

there are a lot of arguments on all sides of the debate.
a large % of medical procedures of 100% unnecessary (many will put it at between 20-30%) - whether its doctors forced into practicing defensive medicine to protect themselves from lawsuits, or the procedures themselves are generally thought to be pointless and ineffective (blood screening for prostate cancer) or when patients simply demand x-rays and mri's or additional tests because they personally want to feel better about the situation. the problem in all this that i can see is that government cannot/will not address these issues for what they are. no matter what changes occur... we still have doctors paying retarded malpractice insurance... we still have radiologists having the most risky profession because they might not notice something or miss something in 1:10,000 x-rays. we still have an over supply of ambulance chasing attorneys and a general "victim" mentality. people don't want to be told they can't order unnecessary procedures.... tort reform is never going to happen, insurance companies will always be criticized for not covering unnecessary/ineffective procedures as being the bad guys etc etc etc. people are for reform. the system should be reformed. but more than anything...people are for a personal sense of security - which is what they are really voting for - and it really doesn't matter whether or not the reality lines up with their own personal emotional needs. just like a union offers a sense of security... until all of the sudden, there are layoffs, or strikes etc and every employee is still fucked. this is a losing battle for rational, reasonable people emotion will ALWAYS win over reason. |

There has always been rationing. In a flawless system we would all undergo a battery of tests a couple times a year.

First of all... this article has nothing to do with HCR... as usual you are making imaginary connections in your twisted little brain to somehow justify your belief in the talking point (rationing). You are an idiot sir... k thx. Please stick to doing what you know how to do because political arguments are not your forte.

Dear child, the FEDERALLY appointed board, is rushing thru these recommendations now so that they are not labeled for what they are (rationing) once rabble like you get your free healthcare. keep up or please, don't bother posting in adult threads. stick to the threads explaining what you'd hit. ![]()

Early testing.... “Yes, it helps some people, but it harms others.”
That article seems to be missing a few statistics too. On average, at what age and how often does the average person with Insurance get these tests done? How often does the person with no insurance get these tests done? It's extremely safe to assume, every other year and starting points adjusted for coverage of millions of people, is logical and has nothing to do with rationing. I guess it's a trade off... get rationed by the insurance companies which I have zero power to fight, not even a voice... or let the gov ration us, and we can fight or voice or vote.

Btw... Not every Doctor takes Cash. I know, it's crazy... but it's true. They don't ration? Never heard them deny people medication that has taken it for years - to live, because "they" don't think you need anymore. So they ration your medical coverage? You cost to much, so they gota make it up by taking away what keeps you alive... much cheaper to cover you once they are dead and can cash in on a life insurance policy they took against you. Hell, even if they don't ration you.. they can still increase your rates to match the costs of the medical procedures, deny to cover it and you have no choice, drop you at any time for any reason.... all because the "choices" you made in your life.

I'm in Canada. All I have ever known is tax supported health care. Never had a problem with it personally. I just happened to notice you have a severe superiority complex. You had a little success in life, which I assume beforehand must of sucked, now you seem to think you know what is right/best for the rest of America. Its pretty funny/sad.

Dang, you're like way wrong... We had to find a OBGYN that took cash. Anesthesiologists also don't always take cash. Some Doctors work for the Hospital, and have no ability to take Cash for services.
You can even search google, #1 term is a lady asking why Doctors won't take cash.

that all sounds good until you type in the words "waste" or "fraud" plus all of the agencies you listed into a google search. I'd suggest you do it but you're not interested in getting the truth, just your hand out.

Dude. your stupid as shit... They have a program called COD, cash only doctors. just like they have them for Insurance only Doctors.
You can find websites that list the Doctors and what you're needing done, and it tells the type of payments they accept. Man, you're thick..

ok, I'll help you. here's the text from the link you've provided: Question: Why Don't Some Doctors or Healthcare Facilities Accept My Insurance? When it's time to find a doctor, whether we need primary care or a specialist, our choices are limited by doctors who are willing to work with our chosen health insurance. How does that work? Why do doctors accept some payers and not others? How does this affect a patient's care? odd, nothing there about cash. thanks for playing.

Hand out...this is nothing about a hand out. Actually what the article is quoting from were studies in 2002 to help the health insurance industry, hmo's, ppo's and the like to cut cost by cutting down on expenses for testing that they deem unnecessary and you know it... So, if you have a health care plan then you know the above has been rationing your shit for years with higher premiums and higher deductibles, preferred doctor lists, referrals, insurance riders and other shit, as I have seen with my health plan. So come up with a better example and get off the hand out bullshit ![]()

(In fact, they probably prefer it, so that they don't have to deal with the hassle of billing and collections!)
