RyanCare got no voter support because it
was stuffed with little known provisions that didn’t do the job of reducing
healthcare costs at their source. Instead, it advanced the march of socialism
with a new federal subsidy based on healthcare costs, not age, not poverty.
Continuing to increase federal funding would ensure that healthcare costs would
continue to spiral.
Voters didn’t like having everyone else’s
healthcare expenses cost shifted to their healthcare costs, because it wasn’t
their idea. It was the Democrats who thought that was a good idea. A majority
of voters were ready to have Obamacare repealed with no replacement.
The blame for this dilemma rests primarily
with the healthcare providers, hospitals, doctors, big pharma, etc. They have done nothing to reengineer
healthcare to reduce costs and improve outcomes. They have all price gouged and
given bribes to politicians to perpetuate the myth that healthcare is the more
important that food and shelter. The
media will not mention the fault of healthcare providers because their
advertising dollars fund half of their revenue.
Healthcare is a scam. Healthcare providers
need to be required to disclose the costs patients would incur. The cost of
each item needs to be presented in writing to patients before they are admitted
or scheduled. Patients should be given lower cost options. Not all tests,
treatments and drugs are necessary.
Malpractice reform is needed immediately
to mitigate “defensive medicine” practices.
I would ban malpractice suits completely.
