The most reasonable solution to our heealth system would be having a single payer.  The government.  You hear people say, "I don't want the government deciding what health care I get"   So how would that be worse than an insurance company deciding based on how much profit they can make? Our system is designed like a cookie cutter.  Every malady gets the same care and treetment regardless of other circumstances.  The system works for 95% of problems in 95% of people.  However there are thousands of problems and all of us at one time or another falls into the 5% that doesn't respond like everyone else.  So were all at risk. --- On Fri, 2/4/11, Lee Sonoflaw <rumpldforeskin@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Lee Sonoflaw <rumpldforeskin@yahoo.com> Subject: Rsignle payere: [Peckers_Pics] Re: Model Wars, PICS; Feb 2, 2011 / David Kato - Rest In Peace! To: Peckers_Pics@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, February 4, 2011, 12:08 AM A major part of the problem is that American health care system does NOT work well.  We get second or third class care for a premium price.  A person who has a stroke in any European country has a 20% better chance of complete recovery than in the States. If you have a heart attack in England or Germany, your recovery rate is almost a week sooner. If you get cancer in France or Scandinaviaia your 5 year survival rate is more than 10% better. In America we have great new shiny hospital buildings and our physicians drive fancy high powered cars, but the average male's life expentancy here is 5 years less than in Europe.  Women in other countries live 6 years longer.  WE HAVE LOUSY HEALTH CARE and we pay more than anyone else for it. --- On Thu, 2/3/11, Morgan Black <morgan_black2003@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Morgan Black <morgan_black2003@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Peckers_Pics] Re: Model Wars, PICS; Feb 2, 2011 / David Kato - Rest In Peace!

To: Peckers_Pics@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, February 2, 2011, 10:43 PM   It would be nice if the USA Congress would base an all-new American health care system on the French model.  They spend around 1/3 of what Americans spend on heath care per person, but their methods produce better health care.  One big reason: insurance companies as we know them in the USA are not used.  American health care companies spend around 20% or so of their revenues on paying healt benefits.  Where do you suppose the remaining 70 to 80% of those revenues go to? Would it be too far fetched to possibly consider that some of those billions of $$ end up as bonus money for corporate executives who direct their employees to deny health care claims in far to many cases? Suppose some of those billions of $$ end up in politicians pockets? Why would any well meaning, honest, caring politician not want his/her constituents to have the finest health care at the best possible price?  That applies to members of any political party.
