Probably a valid point.
Ok. I don't want this to go political. Bit I will just say this. UVAWahoo is in the "medical field" I don't know how specific he would like me to be.
But he said during our round on Sunday that
"The devil is in the details" speaking about Obama Care. This might be an indication of what he meant.
I agree that this is not the place to get political, those details will come out in time and there may be some unhappy people. There is a reason every event mandated by law has been postponed by executive order. The bill you received is a trade off. The law mandates certain actions by the physician regarding your record and those mandates take time. Time that reduces the time available to see patients, which means lost revenue.
With an admitted bias, I do not think some people understand the intricacies of and outside influences on health care systems and sometimes are too negative about the American system. But remember, anytime any where an organ is transplanted--thank the American health care system. Anytime, anywhere some high speed radiology machine makes exploratory surgery unnecessary--thank the American health care system. Anytime, anywhere some new drug cures a decease or treats a symptom--thank the American health care system. If not for our free enterprise system, none of this would have happened or at the minimum would be years away. Is it expensive-yes, is it perfect-no, can it be improved-most definitely. But again remember, it has not only extended or saved the lives of Americans but the peoples of the world as well.
