to all of you people looking to give some good talking points against so called health care reform. this is what Ive been planning to saying at a town hall meeting but their has been any in my area, so ill give my argument to my fellow c4lers to say for their next town hall meeting.

here it is...

the whole problem with health care cost is an over reliance on 3rd party payers, weather its medicare or medicaid or private insurance companies. this over reliance is a direct result of government subsidizing employers to provide insurance to their employees. Obama care merely advocates advancing the problem by increasing the governments role in the health care industry and furthering our reliance on insurance. this type of legislation is the EXACT opposite of what we need. the only way health care cost will go down is if we decrease our dependence on insurance and decrease governments role in the health care industry. if people went back to paying for their health care out of their own pocket we would have freely fluctuating prices that would more accurately reflect what people are capable of paying. in this case prices for health care would necessarily have to come down because if doctors kept them too high, then they wouldn't get any business because nobody would be able to afford it, this would result in them going out of business. to stay in business doctors would have to lower their prices to levels that people could afford.
the only legislation that will truly fix the problem is that which decreases the governments role in health care

 

 

yup i wrote this all by myself, no seriously im not kidding




Poll: will you use my argument at your next town hall meeting

this is the best argument yet, YES i will use it
HELL YES
I will try to
this argument is lame

Matt,

I agree with your statement, we need to give the free market a chance. Good luck trying to get that question/statement out at a town hall meeting. The mic would be taken from you before you know it. I think we need to get it down to one line questions to have any chance.

B.Frank will be holding a meeting on August 18th in Dartmouth that I plan on attending. Hopefully I can get in and get a chance to ask a question.

Your voting options in your "Will you use my argument in your town hall health care meeting?" poll is missing my answer.

I tried to use your argument (prior to reading your argument) and I was cut off after 20 seconds, even though we were all told we would each be given one minute and I had waited patiently for almost two hours for my turn. I managed to get in a lot of your free market points in only 20 seconds, even though I still had 40 seconds more I wanted to say. I guess I was making too much sense and I wasn't promoting The Agenda.

If you were rambling, like, you know, and stuff like that, as long as you were stumbling around in support of The Agenda, you could take several minutes to try to find some point. All criticisms of socialized medicine had the first word and the moderator always had the last word, often taking three to five minutes to spew bogus statistics, muddy the waters, and misdirect. The moderator had obviously been well coached in these techniques.

ObamaCare is as dead as the HillaryCare of the 1990s. Americans don't want socialized health care. Who'd a thunk it?

If i was there i would have asked......

Have you personally read the entire bill???

How does it effect our budget???

How do you pass a bill that helps 50 million, but effects all 300 million without Our vote!!??

Then i would sit back and let him spill out his BS so everyone can listen to him and then see how he fabricates his answer's.....Three questions in less then a minute, with plenty of time to hear him mumble some more BS...

As a radiology physician in MA, the whole debate shows
'something is rotten in Denmark (MA/USA)'.

"All corruption starts at the top, all reform starts at the bottom." (that's my quote)

The equipment manufacturers charge TOO MUCH for CT/MRI/US machines; moore's law makes your 2009 pc cost less than your slower 2001 pc, and it does more. Our MRI machines do NOT need to cost 1.5million; that cost is passed down to the patient as a $1200 mri scan, some MRI's can be $3500+. ridiculous. It takes me 10 minutes to read one, and i am salaried, while my clinic collects that huge fee, only to shift the bulk of it to cover other non moneymaking depts, especially the ER uninsured. Surprised? of course not. That scan could come down to $700 (or less?) tomorrow if we could cut costs and have malpractice tort reform as well.

I'm using this small example in a subspecialty field for a reason. EVERY specialty in medicine has a large greedy corporation behind it OVERCHARGING like war profiteers because or the vast pools of insurance booty to be had, and medicare is one of the deepest pockets of loot.

Let's see: big pharmaceutical? only sector to have avoided our recession, keep up big bonuses, etc.

Home medical supply? They account for 20% of ALL medical costs. NO reason to charge $75 for medial support stockings -please, this is old tech, no FDA approval costs for R&D.

Hospitals: extremely ineffecient. I could fire 1 old doc from my own 7 person division and be fine (or better off). I could fire about 20% in the hospital - not nursing staff or techs though, the ancillary people - and be better off in hiring more of the core people for less $. That will never happen. Many days we are overwhelmed, and are thankful for the few extra hands around, otherwise patients suffer. But ANY vendor the hospital uses RAPE us with ridiculous costs. I will never forget in 1996 a vendor wanted $400 for 8mb ram for a computer, and i went out and bought it for $64 that day. WTF?! Those costs are all passed down to the insurers- its unsustainable, that's why we are here at the precipice.

So, start from the bottom, and keep it simple.
Offer catastrophic only insurance for the uninsured, with
X amount of ER visits/yr paid (1-5?).

STOP the outside vendors from raping the system - create a list of approved prices for their product, like us doctors live with for our procedures and visits, including pharmaceuticals! That will bring down costs 30% at least!

And lessen the red tape/ paperwork for everyone who works tirelessly (but in reality, tired, and burning/burned out) in a hospital for the greater good, by spending government cash on 1 great thing: electronic med records (EMR). It is a well known fact that because there are thousands of insureres, the overhead required to process the forms ADDS more cost to the system - i know of one 20 physician group that has to retain 20 billing people to deal with this alone!

When the government touts the VA system as a model for the country, most docs cringe. That is a colossal joke, but their computer EMR systems aren't bad - use that installed knowledge base to cobble together an EMR. And do it with outside security consultant help!

But what we saw on wall st - pure greed even in the midst of utter collapse (remember the lehman billions in bonuses given out as they were folding?!) - pervades medicine, particularly the business people running hospitals, pharma, vendors, and the like.

What will make them change? Complete collapse?
Red China signing their (Reduced) paychecks?

I can't believe i am saying this - but times are strange - i could live with 20% less and be ok.

I think 'we' (those who can) all could.
(I am salaried, unlike the majority of private practice radiologists in MA; as a result i make about 125k less than they per year)

I chipped in another chunk last weekend. I made the sacrifice because I really want to see Schiff run. Seems there were others who made the sacrifice also since the 750,000 was surpassed. NICE!

I'm only able to donate $25 for now. Already donated to Rand and Kokesh so am low on funds. Thinking about donating to Sholley but need to know more on where he stands. I contacted him on some concerns I have to see where he stands after watching your interview with him. One thing is for sure Barney will not get my vote.

Matt, appreciate all the video work you do. I went to the 4th of July rally in Boston, the second half but seems you were at the first half rally. Anyways keep up the good work, true free press.
