Medicade/Medicare reform!!!
|
Yeah, I'm in!! Absolutely needs to be a part of reform! Limiting to US citizens is tricky, I sure would LIKE to see that. But other issues will make it a tough sell, like denying a dying patient emergency care regardless of his status. Perhaps Doctors/Hospitals should be given more lee way to make that call?
Using the ER for "primary care" (cold, fever, splinter) we need some method to penalize those who abuse the system in this manner. It's WAY to common!
Everyone on "welfare" gets reviewed on a regular basis, "forced" to sign up for work (like unemployment standards) and is denied services or have to pay back benefits if they refuse to work.
The number of folks now applying for disabled worker status is off the chart! Many of these are just regular folks who were working a year ago and have now run out of unemployment. Very tough call what to do with this group?
