what we can learn from other health care systems?

*In Singapore, hospitals publish the cost of every treatment *In Germany, people suffering from fatigue or back pain can get a three-week stay at a "wellness" retreat in the mountains – all paid for by health insurance. *In Taiwan, people who go to the hospital swipe a card that gives doctors their basic medical information *Germany's had a national healthcare system since 1883 *National health services save a heck of a lot of money and are much cheaper, like in Spain and Britain,"????? *UK, Germany, France, New Zealand use sophisticated information systems? While 99 percent of doctors in the Netherlands and 97 percent of doctors in New Zealand and Norway used electronic medical records (EMRs), only 46 percent of U.S. doctors reported EMR use. *Americans take 10 percent fewer drugs than citizens in other countries — but pay 118 percent more per pill that they do take *In France, the sicker you are, the more coverage you get.

What’s WRONG with American health care: •Too many Americans are uninsured •Too much of our health care dollar is spent elsewhere, not on health care •Congress is not paying fairly for Medicare and Medicaid •Too much insurance profit, hassle and abuse •Lawsuit abuse drives up health care costs What’s GOOD with American health care: •Doctors work for you, the patient •You, the patient, have a choice of doctors and hospitals •Highest quality in the world •Innovation and cures save and extend lives •It’s not a government run system where you wait and wait source:texmed

Tradition of America is true?????

If you fix the immigration then indirectly you are fixing Healthcare because, number of illegal immigrants using services and who have no means to pay that leads economic growth and financial flow sluggish. We are spending more on health care than any other nation but no quality and cost of healthcare for all not affordable. 65: Percentage of voters who believe that every American should have access to quality Healthcare 80: Percentage who oppose providing healthcare for illegal immigrants Just in Texas, estimates illegal immigrants cost hospitals more than $1.3 billion a year. No one can fix the economy without fixing immigration and healthcare together. If tradition of America is true, then all immigrants can be justifying by the law.

Meritless lawsuits cost everyone 125,000 lawsuits currently in the system: On any given day, this is a conservative estimate of the number of active Lawsuits against physicians—a number almost twice as large as the number of medic

Congress president Sonia Gandhi was quick to dispel any doubts about Dr. Manmohan Singh being the choice as the next Prime Minister. As soon as the extent of the Congress success became known, there was a clamour that Rahul Gandhi deserved to be Prime Minister.
