With the vote ready for this Sunday....I am wondering where the real health care reform is.
Where is the discussion of the technology necessary for doctors to gather patient information so that additional tests may not be necessary? Where is the discussion of Malpractice so that we can reduce liability expense? Where is the discussion on Medicare Fraud? Where is the discussion on our society's problem with obesity and our need to make radical changes to our wellness & disease mgmt programs? Where is the discussion on palative care vs. let's do everything possible to squeeze out another couple weeks for this terminal person?
75% of our medical costs can be prevented or minimized. With out addressing these issues - private or Federal - the system will go bankrupt and our fine federal leaders will just print more money.
