The Deliberately Well-Hidden and Avoided Issues

Amazing how the talking about wellness attention coverage from legislators have conveniently transitioned from "Universal" to "Mandatory" and from "Health" coverage to "Medical" insurance. As well, their rhetoric only focuses on "containing and lowering wellness attention costs".

But cipher have spoken about containing the escalating costs of medical education. Understand the facts. A good bulk issue medical school (doctors & therapists, et.al.) with loans over $100,000 at 7%-10% involvement rates. Now "contain and lower" the possible incomes of these people by drastically restricted and/or capping what they are paid for their services. Now add in the costs of pattern which only increase and the costs of life which only increase, on top of the costs of those pupil loans. How many people make you believe will stay in the medical professions? What make you believe is going to go on to the medical attention system in this country?

There necessitates to be greatly increased consciousness about and focusing on what the existent jobs are:

1) Skyrocketing wellness attention coverage Premiums, Co-Payments and Deductibles.

2) Continually reduced or eliminated covered wellness attention expenses.

These issues have got got been conveniently avoided, concealed and ignored, just as the existent causes to them have been deliberately hidden and ignored:

1) The obscenely high wages and bonuses of wellness attention insurance, medical equipment and pharmaceutical company executives.

2) The extremely high committees and bonuses wellness attention insurance, medical equipment and pharmaceutical company agents and salespeople acquire to sell their policies/products, asset their moneymaking perks, like all expense-paid trips.

3) The "incentives" these health/medical merchandises corps "extend" to providers, decision makers and troughs of infirmaries and clinics, to utilize their products.

It is obvious that the purely free market, unregulated attack to these issues have been failing dismally for decennaries now and that failure is worsening by the year.

The current "Mandatory Minimum Health Care Insurance" proposal as put option into ordinance in Bay State and other thoughts currently being pushed by wellness attention coverage lobbyists and their allied legislators, is just half of the equation. Implementing only this portion is a mere concealed docket to enrich the wellness attention coverage industry with greater net income at the disbursal of the consumer.

The other part, in improver to mandating wellness attention insurance, is to mandate a loanblend attack to this "Universal" insurance, which would include existent wellness care. If the norm workings and center income citizen is going to have got the added mandated disbursal of buying wellness attention coverage then wellness attention insurance, medical equipment and pharmaceutical companies, et. al. should be mandated to lend to the solution, as well. As coverage companies topographic point "caps" on the amounts they will pay for a peculiar wellness attention service, "caps" should be mandated on the amounts these coverage and merchandises companies are allowed to bear down for insurance insurance premiums and products. And how difficult would it be to mandate coverage corps to constitute not-for-profit accessories which would offer wellness attention coverage programs at decreased coverage premiums for working and center income citizens who make not measure up for Medicaid or Medicare plans?

But, obviously, with corporate United States virtually running this state when it come ups to policy, only the first portion of this equation will be mandated until organisations like Health Care For All and other advocacy groupings get to collectively and seriously turn up the heat energy on our legislators.

In my ain profession, most wellness attention insurance companies and their hired mediators who control the third-party reimbursement system, are constantly restricting the rights of policy holders to Chiropractic care. To add abuse to injury, Chiropractors are seeing continually reduced, delayed or denied payment for Chiropractic Adjustments with constantly increasing demands for re-submitting paperwork, while other suppliers are receiving on time and just compensation for their services. When an norm Chiropractic Adjustment complaint is submitted as an coverage claim with the co-payment paid, after all connected costs of repeatedly dealing with that claim are deducted, the norm dollar value of the Adjustment fee remaining is about 9% of the sum fee! From this, it should be obvious that it's not a lawsuit of some Chiropractors who "refuse to accept insurance", but rather, it is coverage companies who decline to "accept" (fairly or adequately reimburse for) Chiropractic Adjustments.

A common sense, common good, common part approach, with wellness attention coverage and merchandises companies contributing their just share necessitates to be applied if all citizens are going to acquire fair, affordable, complete wellness attention coverage that screens all wellness attention providers' services in all wellness attention disciplines, equitably.
