The long article on Rush Limbaugh Chrissie
I heard the words of Rush Limbaugh on several occasions and performed more than some of his books, and my understanding of his recent comments is different from that of Chrissie Long. What I think really means, not only based on their observations, but also their long and persistent opposition the health plan Obama is that he tries to convey what the health care system U.S. desperately need is not a lot of additional rules and take control system by the government generally ineffective and costly experience, but a good part of their reality setting by setting limits on liability tort of professional misconduct called Medicine, and the introduction of competition in the market as a natural regulator of prices.
In my opinion, Rush Limbaugh comments were intended to convey the need to travel to the United States for medical care in the future will continue to increase for Americans efficiency as a national health system, if approved, is very uncertain. This lack of efficiency in the national health services experienced by Canadian English, and Costa Ricans alike. All admit, too, but they were introduced to the problems and shortcomings of their systems on their own belief that his is the only way to a health system in general. Why America must push the government intervention and more regulation to solve their problem instead of continuing to seek successfully achieve its ideals of free market? Why not tackle this problem by solving one of the main drivers of health care costs now?
Recall the main why health care in America is much more expensive abroad
"First of all, no other country has a legal system where the procedure is so common and so draconian U.S. has prompted health professionals and institutions in the U.S. pay premiums for malpractice insurance, which can easily exceed one hundred thousand dollars a year per doctor, nurse, technician, and several times higher than for hospitals. While foreign doctors and clinics have a medical liability insurance, therefore their costs are a small fraction of this amount.
"Second, the cost of labor, construction, supplies, medicines, energy, taxes and nearly everything else are high-tech equipment that is continually bought and paid is generally higher in the U.S.
"Thirdly, the administrative aspects, such as papers, insurance collections, credit, bad debts, and respect are a major economic burden for carers Health of the United States.
Why not do something for the first reason above? Why all actions against his dismissal? More than 10 billion U.S. dollars per year spent in litigation and compensation in a malpractice suit that over-inflate the cost of everything related to health? This would reduce the enormous cost of insurance for doctors, nurses, technicians and hospitals in the country, and might also reduce the beloved and the practice of defensive medicine, which involves the use of others, excessive and uncomfortable diagnostic tests requested Patient costs several billion more, but is only required for the most part as a way to get today, a defense alliance in a case of possible negligence.
If this is not done, I think not much will be achieved after years of debates Washington and the millions of uninsured or underinsured will always be there waiting a response. Unfortunately for the providers of health care United States, while, fortunately for travel medical patients will always be an option. In Article, Chrissie Long wrote about the big price difference for private medical services provided in other countries compared with the cost of procedures similar in the United States. Let me assure you it is true and surprising. It's easy to find first-level hospitals across Latin America seal of approval International Joint Commission Gold demonstrating its ability to be on par with the best hospitals in the United States and prices are still 50% -75% less than North. Stories abound of patients who travel for the robotic surgery to remove prostate cancer and pay less than $ 25,000 instead of $ 60,000 hard house. More importantly, it is important to note that these savings can be achieved without compromising quality. Even if a medical tourist in search of value, you can easily reaching physicians and similar institutions to America the better. The best doctors in developing countries usually speak English well, have studied, trained or worked in the U.S. or Europe, and some even American Board certified. The best hospitals abroad have world class facilities, the latest technology and equipment, and even innovative procedures that have earned local and international fame.
U.S. health care is indeed need a change, but unless their problems are adequately addressed and found its roots, nothing positive will be achieved, and the medical tourism industry will continue to see an increasing number of Americans traveling abroad as a valve.
