NYT: Obamacare’s Other Surprise

[madrchsod]

14. i find it amusing that people think this is a money grubbing idea spawned by evil corporations

due to the complexity of my heart attack i have medical professionals at 4 different locations across northern illinois.every procedure,all my medications,list of doctors, all the technical information and images now shared instantly between all of them. in fact i'm supposed to go to a rehab facility for final testing and another heart procedure at my local hospital that was discovered during the first go around. i also had a brain scan over an image that was discovered during the procedure during the recovery of the first attack. could all this be done without instant access across all these different areas medical conditions and procedures? i suppose it could have been but it would have been a lot slower and may have cost me my life.

the care i received and the cutting edge procedures i had were never questioned .why? medicare. there were only a few things medicare won't pay for but the facilities and the doctors knew how to get around those obstacles.

the system is being set up for a huge influx of patients who have never had affordable access to true health care . it will only get better when the country decides that medicare system should be the only provider for healthcare.
