[QUOTE="rjs330, post: 74520715, member: 377008"] The ratings of healthcare are generally biased. Our healthcare is second to none when it come to the actual care itself. We have fast and excellent care. The ratings are biased in that "national healthcare" is used as a measuring stick. So it's not an accurate depiction of the care itself. When you have insurance, which includes Medicare or money you get great care! Best in the world! The other thing they rate is life expectancy. That is also often biased. It's not based upon whether the doctors are taking care of you properly. It's an overall view. And in America we have very high rates of death by accidents, homicides, and poor eating habits etc. That has nothing to do with the care people receive medically. The problem is the cost is too high. And as noted, there are people who can't get medicare and are to poor for insurance. That has to be fixed as well as the general costs. We could just say, okay, everyone is covered by the government. But we don't really want our government controlling our healthcare. The government would not just pay the doctors bills. Medicare right now often just flat denies the doctors first claim or two. They have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get paid and then it's only 80% of the ALLOWED cost. Hospitals have to jack up the costs really high to cover all the people who don't pay their bills or can't pay them or the bills are paid by Medicare which don't cover the costs. Cost is the driving factor now. How do we get the costs down? [/QUOTE]
