Health care costs are so expensive, because there are so few doctors that practice, that the costs have skyrocketed…
women flooded medical school to (find a husband) ***whoops**** I mean to become a doctor…
They take a spot in the limited number of students for the courses..get their liscence to practice, then drop out to have kids…
this leaves a shortage of doctors, which reflect in higher costs..
on a slightly different note…Ive heard that women in southern california will demand a male doctor…
and the working class males are forced into the equal opportunity rooms run by women doctotrs…
These rich victim feminist women are making the demands to see the male doctors…do they know something that theyr’e not telling us???

Funny you mention that about the required health care. At my university, we’ve got required health care at my university. You can opt out of it if you’re getting it from your parents or from a job. But if not, you get stuck with it.
I broke two fingers awhile ago during the last week of the spring semester. My insurance was supposed to last through the summer. Turns out even though I signed up for insurance for the academic year, that didn’t include the summer. They also refused to pay most of the initial doctor’s visit leaving me with $1,500 out of my pocket.
I can understand why people would want to reform health care after going through something like that. But I agree with you that making it required is not the way to go.

High tech health-care costs high tech dollars. Trouble is, too many people want to pay typewriter prices and 25 cents a gallon for gas and progressive liberals want somebody else to pay for it.

Health care cost or rip offs. On just one bill out of seven they had over charged me by $7000.00 That just one. Lets multiply by the number of surgeries. Also none profit hospitals is small areas that make 14 million profit. Sorry I have no feelings for Hospitals who cry they are losing money.

And one more thought Doctors who preform more surgeries to milk more money when only one or two at the most was necessary.

S Baker, I put more blame on rectums like John Edwards, who caused them to have massive insurance premiums. (I can’t imagine spending half my pre-tax income on insurance).
S Baker
Squiggy, no question the shysters put an estimated 20% of healthcare dollars in their pockets and dictate that physicians must practice defensive medicine. But, let’s be clear too, that high-tech medicine comes with a price-tag and unless we defund NIH the costs will rise with the cost of newer, better, and more expensive technology. Too many people want something for nothing and corrupt politicians are going to take someone else’s money to buy these votes.
Edwards is clearly one of the worst since his career and money were made on fraudulent claims with no empirical evidence to support his absurd claims of physician induced cerebral palsy. Blatant bullshit, but when you are allowed to pick progressive liberals for a jury, you win the claim. Remember the OJ trial?

These are the same effing pricks that stole billions of social security money and gave us useless T-bonds in place; T-bonds WE have to pay for! They want us to give them our medical money too? Yah, and they’re going to secure the border too.

Well fella’s here is a website which has some very interesting information.
If I understand it correctly fraud accounts for at least 10% of the spending of the health care in the US.
What is it 70% of health care costs is paid by 30% of the population. In the 1980″s or there abouts profits from the health care sector outperformed the financial sector in the US.
There was a scandal where people who presented to hospitals without insurance were transferred to a public hospital died enroute.
I think there is a film titled ‘Kentucy medicine’ or something like that.
I guess in a country that prides itself on human rights and justice, yet thousands of Americans travel to Mexico to get their years supply of medication or travel to Canada for surgery.
Nah to be poor in the land of opportunity means you are more likely to die at a much younger age than the wealthy. It’s just like living in a third world country.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
–Dwight David Eisenhower, “The Chance for Peace,” speech given to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Apr. 16, 1953.
