Prickly City by Scott Stantis for March 04, 2020

And 90% of the paperwork is Government Mandated, the local health services have their forms, the County has theirs, the State theirs, and the Feds theirs, and none of them share data. The you throw on the forms that the Insurance companies have to submit to all of the above agencies even more paperwork. and it has to all be done on real paper, the so called paperless office is a myth that was pushed in the 80s and 90s.

Wasn’t expecting this…

And they haven’t even asked for her insurance card, yet.

I don’t think a sticky note raincoat is up to the job.

If something isn’t filled out correctly then they are paperwork from lawsuits.

Stantis, this is the health care “system” that you and your fellow “conservatives” demand. Please do not complain about it when you have mandated it.

Republicans HATE the concept of anyone getting health care that cannot afford it.

But they LOVE the ‘campaign contributions’ from pharmaceutical corporations.

Sitting in a hospital room while I post this, waiting to have major surgery in a few hours, I would say it is the best in the world. But that doesn’t set well with a lot of you, because it is a positive message.

When you go to the doctor, the first question isn’t “What’s wrong?” but “What insurance do you have?”

We spend FAR more on health care than any country in the world. But according to the World Health Organization, our quality of care is 37th, not 1st.

The US is 35th in Life Expectancy, 44th in Infant Mortality, and 56th in Maternal Mortality.

To the Republicans, that’s just fine. Because the people who have bribed them are making money from the broken system.

But in the America I grew up in, spending the most money for the 37th best result would NOT have been considered acceptable.

We have some pride in our nation then. REAL pride that made us insist on excelling. Not phony egotism that made us PRETEND we excelled, even when we didn’t.

Now do airline food!

Ah, I see where you made your mistake!

You think that health care is about providing care for the sick, ill, injured or hurting.

Bashaw. No. Health care is about filling out forms, paying deductibles, signing waivers and waiting.

Just ask Mr. Pence. He created, apparently, the best health care system in the nation.

How? By making sure that actual care was carefully controlled and given only to the right kind of people.

Does she even have insurance? If not. Then, she would have to become a charity case for the hospital.
