We all know that wont happen...
Why is he saying it's bad for Doctors to join places like Kaiser? Do you realize how much easier it is when you go to a clinic that's in a hospital? E.R., Doctors Offices, and Hospital all in one complex. That was one of the problems with that guy's colon cancer last summer. His primary care Doc was in one place. Everything else was in other places around town. She kept saying she didn't get his reports back to send to the insurance company. That wouldn't of happened if he had Kaiser. He would of most likely have gone to the E.R. at the same complex where the primary doc is. Whatever they found in the E.R. would instantly be available to his primary care Doc. If it was bad enough to go to E.R., then he would probably have next been referred to a gastroenterologist in the same complex. The colonoscopy wouldn't have been delayed waiting for paper work to be sent from E.R. to his DOC in another part of town, and then sent to an insurance company. In the Kaiser situation, the insurance company is on the premises. The one excuse they never have is "we're still waiting for your records." Both my parents are doing well under this situation. Both fat n' happy. 50 years together though is a lot. He is so desperate for a break from her that he asked me to take him to Anita on opening day (he's told me a thousand times that he hates the crowd on opening day.) Anyways, they used to go to Kaiser doctors offices that weren't close to a hospital etc. Going to one "medical complex" is easier for everyone involved. B.T.W., even if some of what Gootlieb is saying actually happens, how does that come anywhere close to the good results (31 million new insured, n' consumer protections that are well overdue.) People like this just have totally different values than the majority that voted for Obama. Conservatives never wanted MEDICARE in the 1st place, but now they act like they care about it. Let me tell you something. Do you really think Progressives are gunna be o.k. with Medicare getting as underfunded as you're claiming? The Progressives will try to improve the funding for it. The Conservatives will fight that. Right now they're saying they're worried about cuts to Medicare. WHO DO YOU REALLY THINK WILL END UP BEING CONCERNED MOST ABOUT MEDICARE? CONSERVATIVES, OR PROGRESSIVES? Won't be the Conservatives. They are only appearing to be interested in it (as a way to fight something else.) The Progressives won't let it get messed up as badly as is predicted. It will be Conservatives that will fight against improving it(if it needs to be worked on.) I'd be thrilled if Conservatives were really interested in improving the Medicare System. The new concern for it is so obviously disingenuous.
