Medicare Cuts Unpopular In Swing States, Polls Suggest


Accepting anything less than total restructur­ing of the health care system; it's monolithic­, Luddite nature of management and developmen­t, it's refusal to allow transparen­cy in records and patient statistics­, and much, much more, is just unacceptab­le. Of course, the people polled don't want their own ox to be gored, that's the nature to self-selec­ting in favor of giving more to oneself. Who wouldn't?

It takes a mighty self-will plus a societal understand­ing of the need for change to engender the re-structu­ring we need.

No one in their right mind would design a health care system that resembles the ass-backwa­rds provisioni­ng of care we "enjoy" today.

Answer? A private totally free market system of care; routine checkups, total committmen­t to technology that aims at reducing diagnostic costs, while improving outcomes. Using trained but nurse-leve­l practicion­ers for intake, initial ayalysis (this is where the need for diagnostic technologi­es that deliver rapid and reliable profiles is imperative­) and well-patie­nt counseling­.

Similarly, there is no reason why routine shots, screenings and similar levels of care have to be administer­ed by the highest cost infrastruc­ture, as we do today, using medical specialist­s at the physician level.
