Tuesday, July 21. 2009'If you like your Dr you can keep him' don't you believe it...
We have heard 2 lines pertaining to health care over and over recently:
"If you like your Dr....you can keep him" "If you like your insurance....you can keep it" Well this may be true but only for about 1-2 years at most if the government gets their way and fully takes over health care like they want. The government plan is supposed to make health insurance more accountable and more competitive. What people are not talking about are a few simple facts: The government currently pays an average of $45.00 for an office call for Medicare and Medicaid (the current government run health system for the poor and elderly) Health Insurance companies have to pay an average of $72.00 for the same office call. Competition? With who the government? How can and will insurance survive if they have to pay this much more for just an office call? Quite simply, they can't and won't. This would be like a high school basketball team playing the LA Lakers. How much will they pay your Dr when they completely take over the system? $30 for an office call? Will we get the same care when they lower the current reimbursement because the costs are too high? We can almost certainly bet our care will diminish from lower payment rates and what the government will, and will not pay for. How many herds, and herds of people are going to be flocking to your Dr's office because it's "free"? Once you are in the government fence it will be impossible to get out. They can't gather everyone at once into this fence or it would overload the system quickly which is why they say "keep your current insurance" for now at least.....but their ultimate intention is....not forever.......
