LOU DOBBS: Denmark Vs. USA Healthcare.....DENMARK`s Universal Healthcare WINS!

[The True Adonis]

No its not.  Its crony capitilism that hurts competition and hurts new companies from offering new products services and plans. 

The largest companies are buying off the govt to protect them from new competition emerging. 

Its like the huge store on one end of the street paying the mafia protection money and the mob shutting down the guy on the other end of the street. 

Its totally wrong and not the free market.       

The Free Market Health Insurance system that is so broken is what you have right now and it is what you will continue to have under Obamacare.

Obamacare is leaving all companies intact that exist as they do now.  There are 1200 companies right now that offer Health Insurance.

With that said, you have about 3-5 GIANT Insurance companies such as the one I worked for, United Healthcare which is the largest, who basically supplies everyone.

Obamacare sounds like it will suit you as well if you are looking to continue the Free Market although this will continue to bankrupt citizens, deny coverage and continue the profit made from human suffering.

No its not the free market TA - States also regulate the shit out of insurance companies and mandate all sorts of crap that drive up the costs. 

This is big business and big govt in vbed with one another. 

Then there is the defensive medicine component due to lawsuits which adds 200 billion a year to unnecessary testing and procedures.

What you have right now and what you will continue to have under Obamacare is exactly the same minus pre-existing conditions.

There is little regulation Federally at all as far as Health Coverage is concerned.  There is little to no variance state by state.  When I worked for United Healthcare, I was assigned Georgia one month, California for two months and solely GM and Ford employees for a few months.

There was little to no variance with all these plans as far as regulation goes.  The only difference was in the Free Market meaning, the more expensive the plan, the better treatment you received.  The less expensive, the more you got shitted on.

Don`t worry.  It all will remain in place.  You will love Obamacare, if you love how it has operated for years past and how it currently operates.

You won`t even notice a difference, that is, until you will be paying double what you are now in a few years as long as Insurance Companies continue their current trend of raising costs and premiums.

Good luck with Obamacare, its right up your Free Market alley.

"But Notice some of the main points.

1.  No med mal insurance

2.  No litigation

3.  No defensive medicine."

Yes, TA, I like this!

I want people to have some recourse for significant medical mistakes, but the whole malpractice system in this country is aweful.  I think many on the left and the right agree.  If there is only tort reform, the insurance companies may not pass savings onto the docs and the consumers (what is seen in FLA).  There's no doubt tort reform will decrease costs by itself but it may just make the insurance companies more $.  We must have comprehensive reform which strongly discourages frivelous lawsuits and limits excessive damages, reduces huge payouts to lawyers off the patient's damages and reduces costs of malpractice for medical professionals.

If there is a single payor system under the government, docs shouldn't pay malpractice.  In that respect, I agree with the Denmark system.  Government's incentive to limit mistakes would be to lessen the costs of lost suits against the medical system.  That would reduce my net yearly expenses by $20,000...and thats for a primary care physician (much greater for other specialties).  That is a 20% increase in pay for me and my employees.

DOCS SHOULDNT ALSO HAVE TO BE IN 300K IN DEBT EITHER.  tHESE THINGS ARE NEVER GOING HAPPEN.

Another hardship....taxation on small medical practices are outrageous.  We are taxed, like most small businesses, way too high.  This directly and significantly increases the cost of care.
