Affordable, Affordable, Affordable……
This from the far left leaning Commonwealth Fund:
- “The United States trailed other countries in making health care affordable and ranked poorly on providing timely access to medical care (except specialist care),” the report reads. “Problems were often particularly acute for low-income adults.”
- Yet Americans now spend $9,523 per person a year on medical expenses — by far the most among developed countries.

Not.
Nothing will change in this country as long as people aren’t held accountable for their lousy
health behaviors. It’s too easy to blame the primary care docs and hospitals. Plus it’s
politically incorrect to hold people responsible. I’ve received letters from insurance companies
saying I’m not in compliance because patients “XYZ” haven’t had a colonoscopy or what have you.
Last I heard, people don’t have to do a damn thing I tell them. Age 65 won’t come around soon enough for me to get out of this farcical practice of primary care.
They can not understand it. Tinkering with the Money Sluice is not providing healthcare. Medical care takes place when the provider and patient interact. The overseers of today fiddle with the Money Sluice, which goes “down to the factory floor.” There, they yell and scream “do more quality!” This is like a comic remake of Chaplin’s Modern Times – except it’s killing people.
Aetna buys Humana – Anthem buys Cigna; Aetna/Humana and Anthem/Cigna merge. That has nothing to do with health care. Wake up!
Hey, “rights” ain’t cheap.
