Obamacare & The Cost Of Corruption

Where do spiraling healthcare costs end? Some 'rich' benefit plans like Pelosi wants for every American cost tens of thousands of dollars a year...look at the premiums in MA and other states.

Why? Corruption?

Cutting out the middle man, woman, and government...

"South Portland doctor stops accepting insurance, posts prices online"

Quote

The family physician stopped accepting all forms of health insurance. In early 2013, Ciampi sent a letter to his patients informing them that he would no longer accept any kind of health coverage, both private and government-sponsored. Given that he was now asking patients to pay for his services out of pocket, he posted his prices on the practice’s website.

The change took effect April 1.

Before, Ciampi charged $160 for an office visit with an existing patient facing one or more complicated health problems. Now, he charges $75.

Patients with an earache or strep throat can spend $300 at their local hospital emergency room, or promptly get an appointment at his office and pay $50, he said.

Big government seems to want everyone to pay tens of thousands of dollars for care they do not need, want, or use. Why? Corruption? Lining the pockets of politicians? Healthcare industry? Providers?

As an example, how is it morally right to charge $300 for an Obamacare/Third Party Payor exam that someone can buy for $50 cash?

Why not cut out the middle men, women, & big government? Squash the corrupt healthcare system?

just my humble opinions
