I don't know what the answer is, but socialized medicine from what I understand is no better, and likely worse. WE both know the government screws up everything they take over, just look at Indian, and VA hospitals, if you want to know how that would work! I was bitten by a brown recluse spider, they have a distinctive looking bite, After looking this up to see what had bitten me, I decided to go to the ER, this was a weekend. I have good health insurance, They looked at the spider bite, and said the at is a brown recluse bite, then this pup doctor call all the other pup doctors down to look at it, none of them had seen one before. After serveral hours he finially told me, there was nothing he could do, no anti-venom existed, , so he told me to keep it clean, and if it rotted a big hole in my foot to go see some other specialist. it didn't. We payed $100.00 copay for using the ER, the bill totaled $2500.00, and when we got the final statement our insurence had payed $250.00 to settle this bill! They had negotiated this bill down to 10%! If we had not had insurence, we would have been stuck with the total $2600.00 bill, right, instead of the $350.00 it was settled for! We don't need health insurance, we need an organization of crooked lawyers,  to negotiate medical bills for us, so we can settle them for 10%! We could afford to pay them, easier than outragous insurance premiums! RIGHT?</p></blockquote><p></p>
