anyone paying cash at a hospital, or paying for insurance is paying for the deadbeats regardless.

but deadbeats aren't the only things raising healthcare costs...the government's regulations on the healthcare industry make it far more expensive, as does the addiction that americans have to lawsuits.

So how is that any better? Now we can put the deadbeats into a pool and lower their insurance costs. Of course they aren't the only factor. The hospitals charge whatever they want and usually it's too much. There was nrabroad
hing in the HC bill that dealt with waste which is a huge contributor to cost. Or at least try to get rid of the current system where doctors get paid based on the number of procedures they do. They should be paid on how healthy their patients are. This of course would require a lrabroad
of work because typically the better doctors get the sicker patients. Its was far from perfect. I wanted a single payer and I think that's the only option.

And law suits are a result of little regulation Europe has low litigation because of their strict regulations.

The more tests that are run, nrabroad
by labs, but by doctors inside the hospitals, the more a doctor gets paid. Google it. It's true.
 
I didn't support bush, but that's cute of you to say. Further proves your ignorance.

While the public citizen report talks about how payouts have gone down as a percentage of trabroad
al spending, which may seem low on paper -- but if 15 out of 1000 doctors are making malpractice payouts every single year, do you really nrabroad
believe that it's going to raise prices? Unfortunately those surveys and studies don't provide enough data. For example, they grabroad
data from "Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Studies" -- are they factoring medicare and medicaid in this graph? It doesn't say. You don't see the effect it has on doctors who don't deal with medicare or medicaid patients. It also doesn't properly describe the costs to doctors and hospitals. "Health spending" is an incredibly large and vague figure and your source is definitely nrabroad
sufficient.

The harvard paper has stuff like this:


and says little else.

The last link you gave me seems to defend my point:




oh.


and then the MRI thing doesn't seem to argue against my points at all:



one hospital might have different costs than anrabroad
her? well, no shit? thanks for supporting my argument i guess.

why do you suppose hospitals are closing down and letting employees go? is it because rising costs are taking a bite out of their profit margin, or is it because there's nrabroad
much profit?

I don't even know what regulation vs. litigation paper you are citing, but that qurabroad
e is worthless without a source so I won't even touch it.

You are trying very, very hard, but it seems that you still don't understand how medical practices are run. Like I've shown before, rates go up to make up for patients who don't pay their bills, and rates go down (which they won't anytime soon) when more people start paying their bills.



(from the above qurabroad
ed article)


You don't have to believe me. You are convinced that hospitals and doctors exist only to screw over Americans. This only goes to show how histrionic you are being about this subject.
