House crams healthcare bill down the countries throat.

I still think it would be better to fire Congress and then start with subtle changes to the current system like allowing interstate competition and getting rid of the anti-trust exemption.

I think the best way is a progressive series of legislations.. This way you don’t make a big, hard to correct mistake.
1) remove anti-trust exemption
2) allow interstate competition
3) allow people to carry their insurance after job loss at their current payout rate(from the same provider) – but they also have to pay the company contrib part after the job loss.
4) Treat health savings accounts like a 401K.. unspent money can be rolled over to the next year.
5) Insurer can’t cancel a policy once a person has a systemic illness while covered. All of the payments the person made up to then was to cover such an event.
… just a start.

Nursing homes have doctors, pharmacists, pharm techs and various other techs.. they also have lawyers.. though admittedly, not as many as a hospital.

One pharmacist can handle the prescriptions for way more than 4 patients, likewise pharm techs and various other techs. I suspect that the hospital lawyers are actually a law firm on consignment. If I double the number of nurses I should get close.. but I don’t. There is definitely something up. When you look at the room cost of a non-profit vs for-profit.. they are basically the same. It doesn’t make sense.[/quote]
Does nursing home pay the doctors, pharmacists, etc as an employee? I know that doctors are employees of the hospital and hospital pays their salary and benefits. I looked up average patient to RN ratio for a nursing home and it’s 30 to 1. That’s almost 10x more than the hospital. Also, I’m sure hospital get sued a lot more than nursing home, since most people who go to nursing are preparing to die, while most people who go into a hospital expect to be cured.

The fact that non-profit and for-profit hospital charge similar fees means either non-profit are hiding their cash somewhere or there’s not a lot of profit in running the hospital.
