Even in Los Angeles.
You cannot survive without a human body. Why can’t the forced healthcare insurance people understand this?
I just don’t understand the problem, here: de-link health insurance from employment. Enact tort reform, to save medical practices hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, so doctors an reduce their fees. Allow us to buy healthcare insurance across state lines.
Start there. Then, after the economy perks up, I’d be happy to expand public clinics, and I might, anyway: we’ve got to the the “routine care” people out of the emergency rooms. But we can do that without putting every non-politician into a substandard system. In point of fact, there shouldn’t be a “system” at all, except what we need to keep people from falling through the cracks.

Please add one two more items to the list:
Train mroe doctors, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants and nurses in the U.S.
Stop importing doctors and nurses.
I just completed a lengthy conversation with a woman I love dearly on the other side of the argument.
Things come into focus if you consider that, for many, this is a religious argument.
But…but… Obama says we don’t have any suggestions to fix health care! How can you be listing options?!?!?!
Making it easier to do the convenient care clinics would be nice– there’s no reason a nurse can’t be trained to do the baby checkup I did today, to refer to a doctor if anything is questionable. (consisted of the doctor measuring my stomach and listening to the kid’s hearbeat)
Also: amen to tort reform. I’m having to get another glucose test because the first one was too close to borderline for them to NOT do a deeper test, with my family history and their initial bad pregnancy estimate. -.- Gee, thanks John Edwards and co!
