Mr. D said:When is the American taxpayer going to catch on that there is allot of money to be made by keeping the American Health Care Industry confused and disorganized! I can drive my GM truck to any dealer in the world and they can access every bit of work done, or part required from the VIN#, but a doctor in my own town has no idea of my medical history unless I provide him with the information with piles of papers! We all pay more in well designed confusion!
It's not an accident that every attempt to "really" improve health care is fought and defeated by the health care industry through scare tactics! Follow the money, Honey! It will explain all! Yet we fall for the scare tactics every time!
:doh

HIPPA didn't help either. Hopefully, as more of us go to electronic medical records (records can be accessed off the internet with the right passwords and codes) soon all of us can have our healthcare information easily accessed by providers around the world. Unfortunately, such systems are cost prohibitive. ours cost $150,000 but we felt in the long run (less paperwork, no need for transcription costs, less storage space for charts) that it would pay off and allow ease of care of patients. However, you get into the quandry that a good hacker can access your private information.

This also relies on standardized electronic medical records. Of course this is staunchly opposed by general practicioners (they would be put outta business eventually by this technology). But imagine how much time, money, and lives could be saved by these systems.

Mr. D said:Good question! Everyone will be covered, and less of the dollar spend goes to record keeping! Now those with resources and insurance pay for those who don't have coverage anyhow! National Health Insurance won't be perfect, but it will be better than the corrupt mess we have now! Watch who fights National Health Insurance and you'll see who benefits from the confusion! Ask our President, he knows them all from his contributors list!
