It just does not seem we will have any reasonable fix for the high cost of health care for as long as it is a tax issue at the heart of it.
After all, it was the cost of it that we were suppose to be addressing. Nobody really wants to talk about that now do they !
We are getting porked in every orifice !
We all own it for not forcing the point that started it all.
The High Cost of Health Care remains ! Nothing to address it so far.
Perhaps AHCA was a start and a band-aid. At least it did something but not without flaws.
If you do not demand better, there’s a slim chance you will get it !
Trump did promise to go after Phama…. I hate to see what that will look like.
If he actually does it, he would have my support for it.
We the tax payers are subsidizing cheap drugs for export. But not for consumption here.
You don’t have to travel to far from a US border to get the same drugs at a 40-80% discount.
Let’s not forget that we the taxpayer paid for a lot of the R&D that went into creating many of those drugs.
Those same company’s moved overseas to avoid taxes. I have no loyalty to them !
If anyone, of either party was concerned with me having more choices in my health care,
Why did they allow so much merger and acquisition in the industry.
GREED ! When the AHCA/Obamacare passed, they bought up folks in other market areas and in the same market area and pushed software to allow them to see everything they could charge a Insurer (3rd party payments) for and do make sure they get a charge in for it.
They just need a doctor to say, do a MRI or prescribe a aspirin.
These facility’s are raping the Insurers and the insurer’s are adding to the top of it all.
So how is it that ‘now’ they are concerned for my choices.
Since Now I have so few ! Trumpcare going to fix that ? I don’t think so.
And with the Insurer’s deals with providers, I really don’t have a choice.
What happened to free markets and competition. Now we are in a market that requires deep regulation. Monopolies exist and nobody seems to realize it.
And they want to allow this merger activity to spread across state borders !
Hope you have plenty of Vaseline ! The prescription they are writing is going to hurt !
