What are the benefits of the health care bill that is currently before the Senate?

Q. There were several stated goals of health care reform when the legislation began.

Uninsured should have affordable health care - with the current legislation it is estimated that it will leave about 10 million uninsured.

Is this bill put together just to be able to say that something passed without any real accomplishment?

Affordable health care - the current legislation would raise premiums immediately even though no benefits would be available under the bill for at least 3 years.

A. This health care bill will not solve problems ..it will create more because if it passes future politicians will add on the the current bill in order to make short term gains to their careers. If this legislation was so great, why is it being kept under lock and key and why are their so many secretive Free Masonic style meetings about it.


How do we fix the health care problem Republicans and Demarcates if Universal health care insurance will fail?
Q. I made the argument for Universal health care Insurance, I have heard the arguments against it, I would like to know what would fix the problem if it won't work?
When they go to the clinic, their insurance would be accepted their, there will be doctors that accept the insurance thus giving the poor people a line to get in. How can that be a bad thing?
Julie S, well said :)

A. It doesn't fail, almost every first world country has it setup as a system.

Unless of course you view treatment of the poorer people a failure.

The benefit to not treating a lot of people, is faster care for the wealthy.



If you don't want to have universal health care, the government can step in and price fix medical procedures like they do in japan. It works okay for them. They can afford adequate medical treatment because the government forces it to be affordable, and the same prices in rural as in urban areas.




The real problem with our system, coming from someone who has an entire family in medicine (Doctors, surgeons, nurses)...is the insurance companies. They buffer every side. The doctors, the hospital, the patients, everyone has to get insurance, and they are the ones forcing prices higher and higher.


What do you think is the cause of runaway health care cost?
Q. Health Care professionals say it is the high cost of malpractice insurance? Is it that the insurance companies are too greedy or the patients are too litigeous? So, who is zooming who here?
Would state purchase of cheap foreign doctors help? or GI bill(state sponsorship) for med students who praqctice at state hospitals.

A. Healthcare cost is rising because we the people don't have a say so. Insurance companies have taken over health care. Physicians don't have the power in what they can do or not do. It is completely controlled by the insurance companies.
Here is a scenario, plastic surgery or laser eye surgery. They do not cost near as much as a basic surgery in the hospital. Why because they are not controlled by innsurance plans. Most insurance don't cover these types of surgery. so the doctors are left to provide QUALITY service and competitive prices to keep clients coming back. Therefore, they are providing quality and are affordable. The customers are able to choose and select who they want to go to because they are paying for it.


What is the difference between Health care assistant and Caregiver?
Q. Can you help me identify the difference between health care assistant and caregiver? what are the jobs or duties of a health care assistant and then a caregiver. Thanks.

A. A health care assistant, could be a certified nursing assistant, or a nurse who assists a doctor.etc etc. A caregiver is someone who takes care of one specific person, usually at that persons home. Helping them get dressed, washing themselves, making sure they take their medications. A caregiver can be the persons relative, but cannot dispence meds legally without a registered nurse present.
