ObamaCare…coming soon

American Red Cross was selling tainted Blood and factor 7
for 3 years during the Aids crisis. Until they came up with a
fast test, they just accepted contaminated blod.

The problem was that the French system was still doing it after the tests were available. The use of AIDS tainted blood was effectively done ‘knowingly’ vs ‘unknowingly’ because a test was not available. There is a big difference between the two. That is why the criminal prosecution. Look at the timescale.. three years vs over 10 years.

Amen to that. You roll up a line of 20 747’s and all the nuts and bolts are in the same place and the same size and a good mechanic can find their way around blindfolded. Line up 20 people and ask a nurse or phlebotomist or surgeon to do what they do and they will have to spend a certain amount of time getting acquainted-often with someone who is forgetful or fudges what they say.

It’s obvious where all the money is going — to the insurance companies!

There is some truth to malpractice insurance driving out doctors..

From CNN.

That said, there is also the problem of the AMA not disciplining some of their doctors who ‘serial malpractice suit’ recipients. You also have some doctors that order excessive tests, or tests that are effectively duplicates (same but different) because of kickbacks, because they want to find a way to justify surgery when not needed. Add in a bit of crazy tort awards and the attempts of insurance companies to ‘increase their bottom line’ and the result is that everyone else gets hosed.

Now we want to make insurance mandatory?.. didn’t anybody learn from the mandatory auto insurance in California? It was touted as a way to reduce insurance costs.. but it didn’t. Why were people surprised that it didn’t? Create a captive demand in a market and only one thing happens – prices go up. California voters got so annoyed that they even created another bureaucracy – Insurance commissioner.. which really hasn’t done anything anyway.

What really needs to happen is that people need to get more involved in their health and decisions related to their health. There needs to be reform in how doctors are disciplined, as well as tort reform. Throwing it ‘over the wall’ to insurance will not achieve this. Insurance will only pass on the cost to the customer with their management fees added – The money that insurance companies use to pay the claims – comes from their insured.

Actually, this is a partial truth. Humans of different races are largely the same. All the parts in the same places doing basically the same functions – down to our mitochondria. Where it gets interesting is in ‘system response’. This goes to drug response, drug interactions, immune system response. Two nearly identical people can have very different responses to some drugs, ie Warfarin or Coumadin.

The problem with patents fudging what they say can be similar to poor tracking history on 747 repairs. Different patient histories on health behavior can be similar to different maintenance qualities on 747s (which in the US has been mandated to a specific airframe maintenance schedule – something that would not ‘fly’ with people).
