Healthcare Costs

According to a recent economic study, the cost of healthcare is pushing Americans into poverty!

It isn't because we live an unhealthy lifestyle. It is because there is an unlimited supply of funds available to drive the price, and a professional class of people so greedy they are glad to impoverish its clientele... in our best interest, of course.

Remove these costs from the public dole or set prices to an affordable level. Another measure is to tax the value added: the higher the charge, the higher the tax, both controlling costs and returning the high-margin motivation (the greed premium) to the treasury.

As long as medical professionals see an unlimited source of revenue--the federal government--costs will do nothing but go up without price controls.

Taxing people with so-called risky behaviors (choices), for example, just forces up the costs as doctors just see more money available to be raided. Then there is more need to tax. If you think they will not drum up a syndrome associated with a lifestyle they claim is driving up the cost of healthcare that you choose to do because it makes you happy (otherwise called the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness), you are wrong! They will be very clearly focused on a surgical extraction of your wallet!

Setting prices to an affordable level does not mean a person can't choose a doctor or not get treatment. If it does, the patient is not what is wrong with it. So. then, fix what is wrong with it.

The other cost control measure is ensuring a free market. Trust bust the AMA and make the medical professionals disclose prices. If they collude to fix prices, like through the AMA, prosecute them for price fixing. It is a crime!

If these greedy professionals with a perfect piety for their purses were more concerned with providing healthcare than getting rich, they would not be impoverishing their customers which. I dare say, will make them sick!
