Health Care Reform

What is the answer? Lower costs and reestablish a proper relationship between doctor and patient . This can be done effectively and logically. This website gives radically simple and straight to the point solutions. Instead of asking if a socialized or nationalized system will work, ask if our current nationalized program is working. It is not. Obama has required the white house to read Atul Gawande's article about the medicare corruption in McAllen, Texas. The problem with this article is that physicians are not subprime-mortgage lenders and patients are not profit centers. "Single-payer proponents (largely the political left) draw their arguments from a paper by McKinsey & Company. Single-payer opponents (largely the political right) point to a report by Benjamin Zycher for the Manhattain Institute. It argues that a single-payer system would increase costs". Both of these approaches are insufficient to say the least.
