Dr. Stevens Part 2

On the dawn of this televised circus, I thought I would share an excerpt from part 2 of Dr. David Steven’s (of the CMDA) common-sense (and informed) perspective to health care.

* Funny Money – These bills start collecting added taxes and reducing Medicare benefits in the first year, but expenses do not start until after the third year when the programs activate (also after the next presidential election). That makes the cost artificially low at $1.1 trillion dollars. They also excluded $240 billion dollars in cost for increasing doctor’s reimbursement. The actual cost is closer to $2 trillion dollars for the first ten years.

* Taxes, Taxes Everywhere – $729.5 billion dollars in new taxes on small businesses, individuals and other employers. These are job killers.

* The Bureaucracy Bear – This bill expands or creates 43 new entitlement programs and 111 new offices, bureaus, commissions and programs. Remember last month I told you we already spend one out of four healthcare dollars on bureaucracy. Now we will spend more.

* Accessibility – Accessibility means getting the healthcare you need when you need it and getting the right level of care for your need. You do not need a high cost emergency room visit to take care of a routine immunization or a common cold and you do not want your acute myocardial infarction taken care of in a primary care office. read more
