What is going on with our Health Care in the States? Why is it so messed up for the masses?

If you got HMO, your screwed. If you have Medicare/Medical/Medicade, your screwed. PPO, NPO, it's all junk and a big waste of money. So inefficient. How horrible it is to live in America right now. And why isn't anything even being done about this. This has been an issue for decades now.

Answer:

The #1 problem : ABUSE OF THE ER SYSTEMS.

The biggest problem right now is new immigrants and homeless people using ERs as their personal clinics for any little non- emergency problem. Then they all have medicaid or medical assistance, so we (the hardworking taxpayer) pay for their 2,000$ ER bill for their blister on their foot (which they would take an ambulance to the ER for). This then makes our insurance rates skyrocket. I see this day in and day out, as well as recognize many names in the ER of people who use the ER at least once a week for anything wrong with them. ( I work in a hospital in administration doing ER chart coding) This is incredibly frustrating, but the hospital cannot turn anyone away for any reason, so they are treated in the ER where care costs much more than in a clinic. I really do not see an end in site, or a solution for this problem.

Rest assured that if you look to liberals for a solution, they will only make things much worse.

its going to be this way for a while unless that u feel like getting your income taxes raised to about 70%, kind of like in europe.

The government won't leave it alone. Everything the federal and state government gets involved with seems to ultimately to get worse and more expensive and more frustrating in the long run.

What do they care, we all need health care, so they just need the money that we spend, for the poor service we get.its like six on one hand and a 1/2 dozen on the other,(NO WIN).

Ultimately, health is one of the very few things
