Well, the medical system in this country is totally out of control. Now the insurance company's dictate what medications a doctor can write otherwise they aren't covered. Drugs costs twice what they costs in Mexico and Canada made but the same companies that make them here.
Why are perscripions only good for one year? Why do so many drugs require a perscription? It's the dam medicail lobby.
1. Allow foreign company's to readily advertise and sell perscription medicine here. (This is already really being done but not so much that they can advertise)
2. Remove the requirement for a perscription for the following (and maybe more) drugs,
Antibiotics
blood pressure medicine
birth control pills
Anti reflex pills
and probably a host of others that other people can name. You can buy all this stuff over the counter in other countries with a brief conversation with the pharmacists and thats all you should need here.
Next we are going to have some government funded medical schools/programs. Technically they can be at any school. The government pays 100% of the cost of your education and you agree to work as a government doctor for so many years at a fixed rate. Without all the debt that most doctors incur getting their degree, many might opt for this program.
No free medical to anyone without a social security number. Sorry amigo, go outside or back where you came from and die.
I get all my meds from Canada and England.
Eliminate the need for malpractice insurance. Make it illegal to sue a doctor, hospital, or medical whatever.
Hey, you want cheap medical, stop suing the docs. You can still have a 'NON DOCTOR ADMINISTERED" complaint board to take the license away from incompetents and criminal proceedings if necessary to throw'em in jail, but no liability suits, not against drug companies either but you can still sue'em for criminal malfeasance. Hang a few doctors every year. Put the CEO and all the Board of Directors of a few pharmaceutical company's in jail and all that hanky panky for profit will stop.
May so many doctor graduates that there is a glut on the market.
MAKE THE UAW against the law and the dam teamsters. Make closed shops AGAINST THE LAW!
You asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
