Whatever happened to "First, do no harm"? Harm by omission is just a bad as harm by commission.

And this is the reason that lawsuits have escalated out of control. If the AMA had policed their own all along, our courts would not be jammed with malpractice suits. Thanks, Michael.

there is a 45 min. documentary on my profile called 'first do no harm' by the cbc, of a case here, one of the few that finally got to the medical association and court, by only 1/2 of the women involed butched, less, they changed the laws. this common here big time, mine 6 hosptials involved, 3 main ones, and spread like wild fire, my so called care center, 2 gps, and several neuro's as well. there was a report found in the UK, that the U of T taught med students to lie. the medical profession is above the rule of law in canada, it is very rare for a doctor to loose to malpractice or hospital and even if they do their association pays for everythig with our tax payers $. my typing has improved momentarily, will but to good use thx for post, no surprise except that that many admitted it so you know the percentage is near 99.99 percent

I want to abolish all health insurance as we know it. I would like to put it on the ballot for all Americans to vote on. What do you think?
I think I have one of the answers to our uninsured as well as insured Americans. I would like to end employee benefits when it comes to health care along with other types of insurance. I also want to see the all-knowing, all-deciding that is done by insurance companies stopped when you visit a clinic or hospital. The way I think this would work is to have a pot of gold that all people could contribute to. If every person was to pay. for example, $100 per person into this pot of gold. All medical bills would be paid out of this combined pot of gold. The only criteria as to whether your medical bill gets paid would be to answer yes to just two questions: 1. Did a certified doctor, clinic or specialist order the treatment, medicine, hospital stay, or referral to a specialist or any kind of preventative care? 2. Did you pay your $100 fee into the pot of gold for every member in your family, monthly? (4 X $100=$400 for a family of 4). This is a very good price compared to what people are paying today: $1,000 for family of 4. If so, your bill will be paid without question. This will put an end to insurance companies as we know it. A small percent of the money would be put into an automatic system that doctors and clinics and hospitals can be entered into the system to submit their bills. This will put an end to insurance companies playing doctor. This will put an end to Medicare/Medicade. This will put an end to figuring out whether it was a prior ailment, prior to paying into the fund. If your payments are up to date, your bill would be paid without any further questions. If there are 171 million uninsured Americans and you multiply that by 100 you would have quite a pot of gold. Not to mention those that are insured changing to our shared insurance costs. Do the math 171 million times $100 = ? This would also end the millions spent every month in administering payments made to medical facilities and the cut in payments now in Congress for doctors by Medicare. Now the question of veterans; I would like to include veterans with the $100 per month payment being paid by the government and have them integrated into the system that we all agree is the best medical care in the world. When it comes to those who can't pay the $100 per month because of disability or unemployment or the working poor, their $100 per month would also be paid for by the government. I think if Americans band together we would not change medical care as we know it. we would only change the way we pay for it. Your comments? just1woman
We don't have a problem with medical care, just the way we pay for it.
