Universal health care "concern trolls" . .

61. Not really

I think you have on overriding vision, one that says “Every person is entitled to healthcare” now.

I agree with this. But healthcare delivery, the hows and why’s of it is very important. We now that Senator Sanders is not expecting his bill to pass—he wants to keep the dialogue going. I understand that.

Part of keeping that dialogue going is discussing details, how, why, who. How much—not Just how much, but what goes where. Under the current Medicare payment system we use a payment process called “bundling”—you go in for a hip replacement? The government will pay X amount for that replacement. Certain hospital acquired conditions will NOT be paid for—forcing increased diligence in preventing certain types of post-op complications. Now multiply that by millions, what will be the burden on hospitals, and how will we offset it? We have a very confused reimbursement system right now, work is being done to streamline it—or it was, I don’t know what Trumps DOH has been up too—but it’s definitely not a simple thing. I keep saying over and over until I feel like Cassandra that we simply do not have enough medical providers, and we are facing a shortage. This needs to be addressed as part of any plan

Being called a troll because I want details just makes me doubt the intent and veracity of whoever writes these ridiculous articles.
