Health care in this country is broken, and something will be done about it. The status quo can not continue. I agree with you - in complete agreement actually. This, however, ain't the answer. Growing health care from 18% to 30% of GDP isn't sound either. Want an example? My daughter treat a lot of Medicare/Medicade, Plan B people along with her regular patient load. She and her partner have to hire what is called a "coder" - Medical Coding Specialist - just to fill out the paperwork properly to send in for reimbursement which takes it's sweet time getting back to her - as much as six to eight months in general and it's just about covers her expenses - as a rule. $85,000/yr for a Medical Coding Specialist. Her practice is her, her partner (a surgeon), an NP and a PA. Four direct care providers supported by 2 nurses, 4 clerks, an office manager and this coding specialist. That's what's broken about health care. $85K/year is way above the average for a coding specialist. Shhhh...don't confuse Tom. |
