Its the bureaucracy that amazes me (as a European quack).
When I was in LA, I was amazed that small hospitals have teams of individuals dealing with insurance forms with many specialising in just one company.
I hope that America can lead the way in reforming healthcare and I think that an entrepreneurial group will shake things up. It will work out better for patients in the long run.
- protomyth 16y agoThe entrepreneurial spirit isn't very welcome in health care. In fact, in some areas of the country you cannot open a new hospital with the permission of the existing hospitals. Expect medical devices to get more expensive with some of the provisions of the new health care bill. I still think the US missed the boat by not properly looking at input costs and risks in the health care system. It is far too expensive to certify a drug or device. Even with all the testing, the company is going to get sued. Medical training costs a lot of money - spend some of the Government money on scholarships for high GPA students Do a flood style insurance by the government for cases of over $100K Allow real medical saving accounts that can be inherited
