Impeding changes to our Health Care system

[TheMercenary]

I agree, the elimination of "pre-existing conditions" is one of the good things. The other problems with the current House Bill are huge. In the end, if passed as written and signed by the president, it will end health care as we know it in the US. Some say hey that is great! But there are huge unintended consequences that are looming out there associated with this bill. Those issues are not being addressed by this.

Among them:
Long term payments for catastrophic care.
Reimbursement for health care providers.
Payment of educational loans for physicians and other specialty providers.
Costs of medical malpractice.
Control of frivolous lawsuits.
Overhead costs associated with giving care at lower rates.
Younger (healthy) people will most likely pay twice what older people will pay for insurance and it will be mandatory that all people care for it.
Payment for specialty services and care.
Incentives for providing care for less cost and competition by monopolies of large health care organizations.
Long term payments for the elderly in nursing facilities.
Long term care of patients in physical rehab for catastrophic injury.
Care of patients with significant chronic disease, i.e. dialysis, mental health, pediatric disease, research.
Transplant costs.
Long term costs associated with 10 years of this plan to the taxpayer.
Access to care for all these new patients.
Destruction of the private insurance industry.
Lack of incentives for expensive research into rare and fatal disease.
Who decides what costs are standard procedures and what they will pay?
Who prioritizes the lists for care as the waiting list grows?
In the end you are basically going to give up your freedom of choice in your care.

The list goes on and on.

It all comes down to cost. It all is addressed by how this potentially bankrupting bill is going to be paid for.

They have put the cart before the horse.

As I have stated repeatedly, be careful what you wish for.
