Health Care Questions of the Century

We all know, or most of us do, that Obama has said that the health care reform act is designed for everyone’s benefit and that everyone will have access to affordable, high-quality care. Sounds great. Sounds like an election promise (and it was). However, first of all, since when has health care been affordable? Secondly, with the number of medical malpractice lawsuits filed every year and the number of deaths due to medical malpractice every year, where does the high-quality health care remark come into play?

This is not to say that all medical professionals are negligent, as many are outstanding, caring, good doctors. However, it is evident that there are enough bad medical professionals that mess the system up for the rest of them. Nonetheless, none of this addresses the costs of medical care. Sure, there are many reasons why medical care is so high, but in reality, it is so high because doctors charge what the market will bear. Except now, more people are going bankrupt and the bills are not getting paid.

Maybe it is time for doctors and other medical professionals to re-evaluate what they are charging for their services.
