What is your Health Care Solution?

For those docs who are young and eager to learn..and those who want to retire from the hospitals and their offices....I wish the old ways would come back...if you needed a doctor...one was there...at your door.
When I was about 10, I met an old man who said he was a doctor...strange to me was..he was at my grandmothers house. He told me he still saw a few old friends time to time..checked up on them.
When he started out he said the town people paid for his house,phone,gave him 50.00 a month for groceries...(that was a lot back then) and a part of the donations to all the churches went to make sure he had what he needed to help people. No one was ever turned away..no payment was to small.
Sometimes the old ways are the best ways...
Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

Go back to paying cash for all healthcare. Doctors, hospitals and drug companies will all lower there prices or go out of business.

I am doctor and I've seen a lot of the problems we face first hand. People feel entitled to their benefits and have no problem getting care as long as it is 'free' or cheap to them. I've actually had people leave my office because they didn't want to pay a couple of hundred dollars in copays and go get a $50,000 surgery because it was paid at 100%. And I will tell you medicare patients are the biggest abusers. They don't care what it costs as long as it doesn't cost them! ... And we want everyone to be under a medicare type plan??????

I like the idea of HSA accounts with a major medical insurance policy. The HSA is pre-tax so I love the idea of taking money away from uncle sam and keeping 30% more of your money. And if you have a major health problem, that's covered. You'd just have to cap the costs.

Then with the HSA you pay cash at the time of service for office visits, dental work, glasses, medications, x-rays, MRI's, blood work, physicals, etc. This would really decrease the administrative headache for a large proportion of medical offices. No more sending in insurance claims and fighting for every penny. Now the majority is paid at the time of service and all you have to do is give the patient a receipt.

Additionally, if you let people use the HSA for preventative things like gym memberships, supplements, nutritional counseling etc, this would potentially save hundreds of billion of dollars.

Remove tariff on sugar, which is bad but not as bad as High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Focus on cutting health costs, not providing "insurance" for things that shouldn't require insurance. Insurance for all things raises costs, because insurance for all things is costly.

Telling the FDA to conduct a study that determines what the government can do to combat carcinogens/obesity without telling people what to do. In other words, to figure out which government interventions might have promoted unhealthy lifestyles, and to remove them.
