Health care is one of the most important components in your life. Disease or illness can really mean a down turn in your life. The biggest asset we can have in life therefore is health. Health care is normally defined as the management or treatment of any health problem through the services that might be offered by medical, nursing, dental or any other related service. When you talk about the care of health, you are talking of all goods and services that are produced to improve on your health. They may be curative, preventative or even palliative solutions. A system of health care is one that is organized to give health services to a population or a group of people.
Health care can be for an individual or for a large group of people depending on how the systems are organized. Importance of health care cannot be overemphasized. In society, people are worried about the kinds of systems there are, to deal with issues of health. In developed countries, their systems are designed to cater for all people; whether poor or rich. However, the systems are lacking in regard to flaws. In developing countries, people usually take care of health as an individual thing and, if you do not have enough money, you might not get access to quality care. There are so many disparities and, some systems in certain countries are becoming worse; not able to deal with demand of health. Health is not a cheap affair, you have to have a good system if you want it to work for you. Governments have the responsibility to create or formulate policies that will favor people in this regard. Good systems of health can be erected by the top most leadership of a state.
The importance of good health care can be seen in the hopes of a people who are yearning for health. To become rich or to produce something in life, you have to have that ability or strength. If you are sick, you are likely not to develop yourself in any way. Therefore health is wealth and this is the biggest lesson that we can learn today. When you are in good health, you will be a happy person and enthusiastic about the business of life. Sickly people will dread every moment of their pain and, they are not able to have joy and peace. When it comes to preventative health care like the use of vaccinations, we are going ahead of time and making sure that you are safe from future illnesses. When it comes to prevention of pregnancy as part of care for health, we are able to structure our lives an take control. However, measures such as abortions are pretty controversial.
However, those countries that have legalized abortion need to ensure that people who choose to undergo it are safe and protected. Good health care will give rise to a generation that is ready to take on the world. Diseases have a way of making the future look very deem. For example, the spread of the AIDS virus has really dealt a huge blow on this generation. Proper care is beginning to be felt in many corners of the world especially areas where it is rampant like sub Saharan Africa. Therefore, make sure that no matter whether you are and individual or a group, you prioritize on health. Investing in good care for health is investing in life.

Barney Franks is a complete IDIOT. I don’t know what else so say. He is a complete IDIOT. What people would actually vote him in to office? He can’t even speak correctly.
It only makes sense if you understand the words. And the marxist scams have never worked and never will work. Those countries’ systems are broke and the “care” is rationed even though the costs are subsidized by Americans indirectly. But even if it could work, it would still be wrong.
Cost containment is BEST done by the providers themselves in a free market, COMPETITIVE environment, which we only have pockets of in the US at this time. Where we have it, we have ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE care, which is the rational man's goal.

A doctor owned and run hospital that sees everyone gets care, no matter what happens to the bottom line.
http://www.simplecare.com/ a doctor-driven group where reasonable rates are charged.
Note you can go to a walk-in clinic at Wal-Mart or CVS or the like in many cities and get many of the most typical reasons for seeing a doc addressed for under $100.
The price of LASIK has DROPPED dramatically over a decade. Plastic surgery is CHEAP. Compare a major procedure like a tummy tuck with the bill an uninsured patient will get for a medically necessary appendectomy WITHOUT complications.
Another factor contributing to higher costs NOW as opposed to 30 or more years ago is the EXPLOSION in what we CAN do and treat. There is simply so much more–new meds that extend life, transplants, ADULT stem cell treatments that work, etc. And this innovation CAN continue if we don't allow politicians to screw it up for everyone.
However, the BULK of the cost of healthcare is, primarily governmental bad choices and the HANDFUL of large insurers who DOMINATE health care. (Sorry to repeat myself, but it's true):
A FEW examples of how the government drives up costs:
the laundry list of nonsense states require in order to allow a plan to be sold in their state. There is NO good reason for this. If someone wants a "barebones" plan and the company is solvent, let it be offered, instead of stupidly DEMANDING that chiropractic care be offered, or something else that some people won't want.
When we have government programs (and we have SEVERAL: Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, IHS, VA, as well as other programs that allow more income than Medicare, but that's the concept), ALL should do everything possible to reduce costs. Example: the VA logically allows for negotiated prescription med prices, Medicare is prohibited. End result: far more expense for the taxpayer and the patient. ALSO those on Medicare a decade ago who had an HMO version typically got drug coverage that is BETTER than the current idiocy of the "donut hole" that they've all apparently converted to now. Thanks, Uncle Sam.
Freebies for "charity hospitals." Fact is the bulk of hospitals have this designation and are tax-exempt. The idea was that they'd give back the equivalent of their tax pass to the public they are supposed to serve. Fact: the majority fail to do so. See CAGW–Citizens Against GovernmentWaste–also check out specifially IL AG's Madigan's attempt to get them to get on board with that.
AWP BS–AWP is the "Average Wholesale Price" of drugs. It's a fictional story designed to bump up government payment to drug companies.
ERISA shield–most folks with insurance still get it through work. ERISA has been misapplied by the courts and folks with insurance that way can be denied treatment their plan SHOULD cover with impunity. IF they damage the patient, all they can be out in court is what the treatment that was denied would cost. IF they can win the "drag it out" lottery and the patient dies, they can't even be fined! Read Jamie Cort's book "HMOs: Making a Killing."
See the testimony of Meidinger re: the routine bad accounting principles where they get GIFTS that other businesses and certainly PEOPLE would pay tax on and don't: http://www.ftc.gov/reports/healthcare/04...
Also government routinely tries to balance their Medicare Ponzi scheme on the backs of doctors–who are stopping taking this bogus system:
http://www.massmed.org/AM/Template.cfm?S...
"That dark cloud lurking over the shoulder of every Massachusetts physician is Medicare. If Congress does not act, doctors' payments from Medicare will be cut by about 5 percent annually, beginning next year through 2012, creating a financial hailstorm that would wreak havoc with already strained practices.
Cumulatively, the proposed cuts represent a 31 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursement. If the cuts are adjusted for practice-cost inflation, the American Medical Association says Medicare payment rates to physicians in 2013 would be less than half of what they were in 1991."
The media who refuse to report these facts wouldn't take that kind of pay cut OR any pay cut.
Insurers bad faith is quite common. Examples include:
Linda Peeno, MD comes clean about how insurers deny claims to save money, NOT to follow the policy agreement:
http://www.thenationalcoalition.org/DrPe...
more bad faith, esp. with United Health Care:
http://www.newsmax.com/medicine_men/medi...
attempted end runs to make sure they get their excessive demands met by now using flat out predatory lending practices:
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnfl...
I could go on–I've studied these things for some time now. On the bright side, the current system could be VASTLY improved with some sensible changes, including:
price transparency–no reason why prices can't be posted up front and before the fact. Many expenses are NOT for emergencies and people should be able to shop around and make an INFORMED financial decision, which they are DENIED now, though this is the ONLY industry in which that is allowed. (If you're a car repair shop and you don't follow the law on estimates, not only are you SOL you may not be able to get ONE CENT for work done. You don't see them laughing at the law much in those states on car repair.)
EVERYONE should be required for all non-emergency procedures, to give the patient the bottom line bill. The insurer should be legally required to pay what he says he will BARRING fraud. Any LIKELY procedures should be simarly costed out and locked in. Example: angiogram? Good chance you'll need an angioplasty and the cardiologist might want to do it there and then. Have him do the medical informed consent AND have the bill costed out for JUST the angiogram AND the angioplasty IF needed–takes a lot of pressure off everyone as well. No reason for anyone to object. We all know if a patient codes on the table, there will be additional charges, but that doesn't happen often and as it is a medical emergency, you have to treat it.
Oh and "compassionate entry" is costing us a LOT. The Border Patrol is told specifically to let in illegals who are sick for care they know the taxpayer will have to pay for:
"Dickson emphasizes that not all the free care is going to illegal aliens passing through on their way to other states. About half goes to Mexicans who use the Copper Queen as their personal emergency-care facility. In effect, the hospital, which performs general surgery, has become the trauma center for that stretch of northern Mexico. If an ambulance pulls up to the border-crossing point near Bisbee and announces "compassionate entry," the border patrol waves it through, and the Copper Queen is compelled to treat the patient. It is one more program that Congress mandates but does not pay for. "If you make me treat someone," says Dickson, "then you need to pay me. You can't have unfunded mandates in a small hospital." Although the Medicare drug act that passed last year provides for modest payments to hospitals that treat illegal aliens, Dickson says there is a catch that the U.S. government has yet to figure out. "How do I document an undocumented alien? How am I going to prove I rendered that care? They have no Social Security number, no driver's license.'"

Frankly, more can be said, but if you're interested in a PLAN that makes sense (we need to do something with the huge sums we spend on the government programs we ALREADY have millions enrolled in), then here it is and it's being ignored by the pols because there's nothing in it for them apparently. (I found this months ago and sent a good summary and link to the FREE PDF and the federal level ones ignore the hell out of it.) Check it out and see what you think: no increased individual taxes, no mandates for employers, but a funding solution that solves another problem in the system:
http://www.booklocker.com/books/3068.htm...
Oh and that plan would work because when you get something close to a free market, it DOES work:
Check out LASIK prices over a decade–did they go up 120% like Medicare premiums did (1998: $43.80, 2008 $96.40) or did they drop like a rock? Why did they drop–few third-party payers involved.
Ditto plastic surgery–look at the cost of a "tummy tuck" which is MAJOR abdominal surgery and compare with a MEDICALLY NECESSARY uncomplicated appendectomy if you're uninsured. The appy will bankrupt you in many cases.
Walk-in clinics (Wal-Mart, CVS, grocery stores) be seen in a short time and treated for around $100–from sprains to upper respiratory infections, strep throat, etc.

The key is it is DOCTOR OWNED and DOCTOR RUN.
So we CAN deal with the situation, but it MUST be done via the FREE MARKET, NOT more government and giving insurers a free rein. They caused the problems.
There IS a sensible plan that does NOT force patients on it with fear of fines; does NOT impose the costs on employers; does NOT raise our taxes; and DOES resolve another abuse of the taxpayer in its funding, provides for preventative care (moral and economical), and would prevent bankruptcies (more than half are caused by medical bills and most of those folks have insurance).

The money involved is not enough to make much of a difference however some people think that malpractice suits adds to the cost by causing doctors to practice defensive medicine , that is ordering too many test and referring people to specialist so the won't get sued.
Even if you take the seriously twisted position that the general welfare clause is the entire constitution and makes the rest meaningless, amendments 9 and 10 would override it just as amendment 21 overrides 19.
Franklin clearly believed in freedom and personal responsibility. Clearly marxism would have been quite repugnant to him.

i need that answer to
Little bit vague there, but detailed terminology is needed for the doctor so they can adequately describe what is wrong, but basic terminology is needed for the patient so they can understand the problem.
That makes no sense:
(dot) silobreaker (dot) com / bachmann – health – care – reform – is – unconstitutional – 5 _ 2262538966974595072
This has nothing to do with Marxism (which shows you don’t even know what Marxism is). Even if it was it’s a supposedly “Marxist” feature that works very well in every industrialized nation in the world.
Not only is it not unconstitutional (Section 1 Article 8 of the Constitution) it’s not that expensive in the long-run. It actually produces a $1 Trillion net gain according to the CBO.
And you don’t know what Franklin would have done. I doubt he would have more of a problem with this than he would with the fire department or Medicare.
The so-called “public option” scam is too expensive at any price. Government involvement is not only unconstitutional, it’s the reason costs are so high. The problem is not the solution.
It protects a patients right to not have his personal Information handed out to anyone adn everyone. Only those persons authorized by the patient can have access to their health information. Sometimes it is a little on the overkill side but whatever.
Franklin would have never supported anything remotely associated with socialist scams.
This is not a special education question. Post it in the correct section and you may get a more helpful answer.
Per Obama cash for clunkers is a great success but it is a real flop.The gov has only paid 2 percent of claims, and rejected 4 out of 5 applications. per dem. congressman Sestak – PA. in a letter to Obama. If he cant pay claims on a temp $2 billion program, can we trust him to pay claims on a $1.5 trillion perm life and death program such as Obamacare?We dont have enough cash for the Obamacare clunker with a Rolls Royce price tag. Tell him to scrap the clunker and let us keep our cadillac
The only way Republicans would have any credibility in a healthcare arguement is if they gave up their current government run healthcare known as “Medicare”.
