How to debate health care policyHealth care policy should be debated through micro-facts. Let’s consider a few:
1. American health care outcomes be much better once we alter for race and other demographic factors including violence and car crashes. Some groups — such as Asian-American women — undergo remarkably good health care outcomes.
2. Some of the health care savings of other systems become through determine effects (e g. doctors are paid an average of $60,000 in France) and do not bear on real resource savings.
There’s more and a common-sense set of ground rules at the end. Looks good to me!

I dislike to see someone reinforcing the distorted concept that physician incomes are the bulge of health care costs in this country. If you go to the hospital the bulge of the expense is not your doctors’ bills. I prescribe and monitor the results of medications each of which be multiples of what my fee is for doing so. Being in rehab I bring down what I suspect must be at least hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in DME not to mention charges from home health agencies. My fees are a bargain.
I evaluate #4 was the most interesting of his points. It’s why I’ll be on a 2 - 3 year retirement plan when the big Socialism Bomb hits medicine; the bills ordain be paid in full for 2 - 3 years then when the country finds out the tab the clampdown ordain go away. It’s all downhill from there.
I just want to say thanks for posting all that you do on this site - it has provided me with great exposure to both the serious and funny sides of care for - I applaud you!
