Quote:Originally posted by Jongsstraw: I've had Medicare for a few years and each time I've used it for something I find that it's very fair and reasonable. Once you reach the annual deductible the copays are not bad at all. And the best part is I get almost zero paperwork in the mail. I handle my mom's mail and bills too. She has Avmed Medicare Advantage. The amount of letters in the mail, every week literally page after page of medical payment summaries and prescription drug usage, etc. etc. Like who cares!? Just pay the gorram expenses and leave me alone with all these "explanations". The forests are getting depleted just from the paper associated with her account.

If you cleaned up this mess and simplified it to where it should be, how would we employ all of those people that currently make a living from the excess? 3. Would HC for All improve or weaken overall quality of care? When you take the profit out of HC you can remove the innovation and motivation.

Quote:Waste in the US Health Care SystemEstimated Costs and Potential for Savings https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2752664 To the tune of almost a trillion dollrs every year, equal to the entire Pentagon budget... The largest component of waste is "administrative complexity" followed by "pricing failure". Fraud and abuse is small in comparison.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
