White House Run Medicare

Our Dear Leader has asked congress to give him the power to dictate Medicare payments and make cost cutting decisions. He also said last week that Medicare is the most popular system with the folks. I guess he has not asked anyone who deals with the current system.

Lets start with the doctors. In many states, doctors are refusing to take Medicare patients. Never mind the paperwork is a unbelievable hassle. But the government has some very bad habits. Like not paying the bills, and if they do pay, they pay pennies on the dollar. Oddly enough, the way the system works, private insurance is mandated to pay a slight percentage over Medicare payments.

Meanwhile for the doctors, the cost of everything has shot up. From malpractice insurance to medices to office equipment.

So doctors are already not accepting new Medicare patients, because they can not afford to. Many doctors have simply left medicine altogether. So what is going to happen when everyone is on the government plan? Because like it or not, believe it or not, that is the plan in DC.

There will be less doctors. Just like the Canadian system, they have a doctor shortage which adds to the months and moths one has to wait for an appointment.

What doctors we have will be forced to see more patients. This is already happening here just due to the Medicare debacle. In order to make enough to cover the overhead and still make a profit, doctors are forced to push people through like a factory. This will only get worse as more doctors decide it isn't worth it anymore.

Medicare does not usually pay enough to cover many tests. So doctors in private practice are forced to pay out of pocket, if these tests are done at all. And any businessman will tell you (unless you work for the government) you can not stay in business if you lose money on every client.

I know Joe Biden says to avoid bankruptcy we have to spend money. But I question his real world business experience.

Nothing about the proposed health care plan seems to make any common sense whatsoever.

It will cost Trillions, and by design put everyone except congress and the UAW on the public government plan. There will be doctor shortages. Tests will not be done. People will be suffering needlessly for treatable ailments. We will see month long waits for emergency procedures.

And to top it all off, Our Dear Leader wants to have the power to tinker with things without congressional oversight. Sort of like how he has taken over everything else.

The sad thing is US citizens and Canadians will now be forced to go to Mexico for quality Health Care
