Re: TAX rate and universal health careFrom: James Smeltzer (James.Smeltzer@wellstar.org)Mon Mar 10 10:52:36 2008
Doctors ALL need a course before they start on being a fiducial agent. There is plenty that we do that makes no sense. Our prescribing habits are abysmal. Everyone needs to cover some fraction of the cost of their care and life-style. Counting social security our taxes are over fifty percent for the middle class. We PAY more than anyone else for our health care. The queue for total hips in England is six weeks long. Balances are hard to find, but market solutions are hard when the locus of decision and locus of payment are different. If it would have cost all the money it will take for my Mom to live a comfortable life in assisted living for Dad's care, we might have decided differently. Id did - but it cost someone else, ALL of us. JimS
>>> "Claudia Benge" <bengecaj@iquest.net> 3/9/2008 3:40 PM >>> The only way good health care can survive is to allow competition and quality improvement. We as sonographers need to learn all we can and mentor good replacements. Quality improvement can track what really works for the least amount of expense and saves the patient money. Health care does not need to be part of the government, it just needs to be available so that the everyone can be covered on a "pool rated" basis. Can you imagine the same people who run the postal service and medicare now would be capable of running something which is our largest national product??? I cannot.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
