Health CareFrom: Pat (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 15 Jun 2002 09:33:54 -0500 (CDT)
In my opinion, Health care should be an entitlement, and not linked to . Everyone should have the basic coverage that covers routine screening and reasonable management. The US is one of the only countries where this is the case (that not everyone has insurance) In countries that have universal health care, the health statistics well document better outcomes. I'm taking about longevity and birth statistics specifically. If we had basic health care, folks would get basic care, and wouldn't need to use the emergency room so much. One of the reasons we have such high medical costs (about 14 % of our budget) is because what is mis-managed. Other countries spend < 10% on health care, with better outcomes. They also spend more time and money on prevention, which seems to be a lesser priority in the USA. Cost savings come from providing more efficient care, and appropriate/improved use of resources
