Why do the administration think that putting 47 million or so people on government healthcare will gaurantee access to care. Access to care especially affordable preventive care is lacking even for people with insurance.
This system as it is, is broken with reimbursement at $8 for for a doctors visit, practices are not accepting medicaid client so what will this solve? Even if they use the medicare model it is still not feasible, the cost is astronomical so limits will have to be placed on reimbursement and treatment. I know they are using as a safety net individual and employment insurance, but don't they know that most people cannot afford the employment sponsored insurance because they just don't make enough money, so they will opt for the government sponsored because to them free average care is better than nothing.
I was listening to WHO podcast today and they were talking about a region in Pakistan where the healthcare system is experience a strain because millions of people have been displaced. They also mentioned that they need more female doctors because of cultural beliefs most women do want to talk to the male doctors. This made me wonder if girls in the region are encourage to pursuit higher education.
I need to let the selfish act of others not bother me, I need to remember I can only control my behavior so when someone behave selfishly I will just move on.
I have decided to pay more attention to my dietary restriction because I am breaking out a lot. On friday I ordered the book "Eat to live" recommended by good old Alanis, she says the book teaches you about nutrition and seeing her lately, I will take her advice. But she has a gentle woman that cooks for her, kind of a wife she says--yeah I need one of those- really do.
