A L KatzAmerica doesn't have a health CARE system. We have a health INSURANCE system. That ain't the same thing.
When anyone walks in the door, our first question isn't "How can we fix you?", it's "How're you gonna pay for this?"
That's barbaric.
CAman@Alan I call it a “wealth care” system because it functions to care for the wealth of insurance companies’ stockholders. And, yes, it is utterly barbaric.
@CAman Hear, hear! Profit incentive & health CARE don't belong in the same world. A publicly traded hospital or health insurance company have a fiduciary responsibility to the corp's stockholders, not patients. Patients are all cash out. Every dollar spent on actual care is a dollar less profit.
