I find it fascinating that Medicare is the best payor in some states and the worst in others. Medicaid is rarely the best and often the worst, yet the future of America is largely dependent on it. This shows where our priorities are.
Big insurance and Big Pharma has corrupted the congress to give them what they want.
Hospitals are not flowing with money, (at least not in my neck of the woods). Physicians are certainly not. We are being paid to be secretaries who follow protocols.
Yet for profit insurance is doing well. Although Non-Profit, BCBS Illinois it paid 270 million cash to add 24 stories to a 33 story skyscraper in downtown Chicago. Why not spend the cash for delivering health care?
