Title: Seems simple.... Post by raydawg on 09/23/17 at 08:30:35 Why isn't ALL cost associated with a persons medical expense a tax deduction? Why do we have to hit a certain government approved threshold, which is thousands of dollars? A tax credit would work it seems to lessen the burden, and it would be a dollar to dollar credit, without having all the paperwork and bureaucracy, that just adds cost to insurance. I would think for the average Joe, this would help greatly, and its simple. This of course is not a fix all, but I would think it would go a long way in help to curb the cost of the basic necessities, etc. |

Title: Re: Seems simple.... Post by raydawg on 09/23/17 at 09:22:32 Did you read were I said its not a fix all? Why do we believe we can fix everything under one plan/idea? Fact is, we can't. I think my question has merit. This would free up the process, energy, COST, etc, in that it would allow those who CAN, pay and wait, to remove themselves from having to be "processed" through a system. Managing that system consumes resources that could go directly to medical care where its needed, doctor, patient. I am thinking we need some sort of tiered system, where folks could have a say, or control, in their health cost. Example. You go to the doctor because of a chronic cough, etc. But refuse to give up smoking, well duh. You have diabetes, yet refuse to diet and exercise, well, another, DUH. These are just a few examples of where behavior, choices, and cost, CAN BE CONTROLLED.... By policies that have immediate effect and results WITHOUT having to add another layer of burdensome bureaucracy that consumes TOO MUCH of the resource without even addressing the health issue at its root. Can't you see that? As a kid, my parents paid a buck to the doctor, and got a bucks worth of medical care, RIGHT ON THE SPOT. No need to pay 10 bucks to an administrator, to get a bucks worth of care. We need to let it work to its most efficiency when we can.... Not a one size fits all. Perhaps this is the very reason why we can't find a solution. Why has medicine become such a GIANT industry, needing so much additional support, that only adds cost to getting a simple flu shot? A business is best run where resolutions to a problem is best addressed, and fixed, at the level it was discovered. No need to add more chefs, to the kitchen, to assure the that water will still boil @ 212 F for the soup...... But bureaucracies need a water inspector. A pot inspector. A spoon inspector. Health inspector. Agricultural inspector. Human Resources Representative. Trade inspector. Marketing inspector. A inspector to inspect, the inspectors..... FUUCKK..... HEY WAITER....!!!!!! MY SOUP IS COLD, WHY? I'm sorry Sir, it was hot, well, when it left the stove, but that was before it had to be inspected, to make sure it was, uh, hot ::) |
