Why does America not have free medical care like other advanced countries? Many other (maybe all advanced ) countries have medical care for ALL their citizens, and they do this for half the cost we Americans are paying, yet Americans live a shorter life. Of course, to institute such a program, price controls must be made. We the people would love such a program. We would be healthier, more prosperous, and live longer. Of course,doctors and others would be less wealthy, but they would still be wealthy, but we the people, would be so much better off. I believe this would be in keeping with the highest principals of a democracy. In addition, with healthier people, Americans would be more competitive in the world.

Is anyone else frustrated with the increasing cost of medical care? I don't believe insurance is the problem. It is the extreme cost billed by doctors. Example: Comparison of charges for my children's shots within only 3 years. My first child had a $37 doctor visit with a $300 shot bill at 6 months old. My second child at 6 months had the same care at a $120 doctor visit with a $700 shot bill. Same doctor! Same care! Is this legal! These are just routine health check ups. Who can afford to stay healthy anymore? And God forbid for the people who really get sick! I believe doctors should be compisated for their education and important services they provide but it is getting out of hand. I also feel that the time and efficiency provided by many of the medical professions are severly declining. What are your feelings?

With the baby boomer generation entering retirement, how will we be able to afford medical care for everyone? Fact: Medical care at the end of life cost about 10-12% of the total health care budget and 27% of the Medi-care budget. Doctors, patients, and patient's family are very reluctant to give up hope for a dying patient. Even when hospice and comfort care is available, people don't utilize it. With the baby boomer generation approaching retirement, how will we sustain adequate medical care for everyone and not waste it on foolish hope? Unfortunately, the idea of "giving up hope" is a collective decision not only involving doctors but also patient and family. When all are in agreement that there is no hope, the idea of "giving up" cames to fruition. I said unfortunately because there has to be a better way.

What should we do about the people who can not afford medical care .? As a true conservative I say we refuse treatment to anyone who does not have the ability to pay for it . Then those wishing to provide free medical care can . People will go someplace else if they can not be treated here . I say it weeds out the undesirables . I will agree that if you want you can donate to help the poor out if you like but forcing me to pay for their treatment is wrong .

Where can I get a medical care? I'm 24, live in Tennessee, go to school and work part time. I don't get medical at work cuz I'm part time, and have no way of paying for my doctors bills, and recently I've noticed serious health problems, but it scares me that no body really cares if I just die, unless I have the money.

Do daily trips to the hospital to help care for a chronically ill infant count as medical miles? I have a 5 month old infant that was hospitalized for a month. Obvoisly transporting the infant to the hospital counts as medical miles, but does the dailly travel to visit and care for the infant also count as medical miles. Care includes feeding, diapers, medical procedures that would routinely happen in the home, learn how to do new medical procedures for when the infant returns home and to learn how to use new medical equipment that will be used in the home.

how much does medical care cost for someone that needs X-rays? like my mom slipped on ice last sunday and her back was hurting really bad. It hasn't been getting better and she said her legs are hurting now so maybe it's getting worse. She won't go to the hospital tomorrow or on Wednesday because she can get free medical care on Thursday but I'm totally worried if that's too long to wait. Is it that expensive if she gets like checked for that stuff?

Who else sees the danger in the government telling us we have to seek preventive medical care? I know I don't want the government telling me when I have to go to the doctor, and what preventive care I must undergo. Some preventive care can be good, but I have heard of some cancer treatments being done too prematurely, and have resulted in the death of the person. Some never even had cancer to begin with. Not many people know the truth about mamograms either, that it can actually spread the cancer. I feel too many children are diagnosed with cancer, I just am not buying it. I think money has a lot to do with diagnosing children with labels they may not have. I heard one doctor got excited because they wanted to be the first to find the cancer, I know most doctors care, and most of the cancer patients have the real disease, but there is just something I dont trust about the whole thing. If this ever happens to me, I will go all natural healing. It should be our choice when or if we ever want to go to the doctor.
