Obama isn’t trying to fix health care, he is trying to give health care away on tax payer’s dime. Read this article by Bloomberg…. You see, the real problem with health care isn’t that some people don’t have it, the real issue is rising costs in health care and the lack of proper legislation. We don’t need a “public” option, what we need is for a cap on malpractice lawsuits, we need better consumer education about health care options. We need doctors to be paid not based on how many patients they see, but on the level of service they provide. Last time I was at the doctors office I was charged $150 and I only saw a doctor for 10 minutes and a nurse for about the same. They ran some basic tests and that was it. A visit like that shouldn’t cost so much.
Don’t get me wrong though. Doctors should be paid well. They had to go to school for 11ish years and they can have a high stress, risky environment. They ought to be paid well, but $150 for 10 minutes of a doctor’s time is absurd.
