Oh I think we have changed them to help us do things....but for the most part I just want my dogs and puppies to be healthy, happy and productive.  Have you ever watched them remove a dachshund by their tail from a badger den?? Holy hell!! 

I love my dogs and I totally understand wanting one.  Though I warn they can be very very stubborn with training.  And they are addictive....typically people end up with 2 or 3.

That two tier system sounds pretty good to me.  But the question is, what doctor would choose to work for less pay in the preventative care side when they could be making much more money (assuming that the out of pocket costs would probably be higher) on the private side?

Posted by KatyRoseM[/QUOTE]

Not from a media reference, but I have heard, and know of lots of personal stories that attest to this. At the company my FI works for, his big boss (ceo person) put his wife and kids all on his insurance policy. They used up all thier ER visits and Dr. visits within the first few months. The company had to go to a different policy for the employees because the Insurance co. was going to raise their rates. The school district my parents work for has a similiar situation...they may be going to a new company next year, and limiting who the employees can put on their policies because people are using them up so fast.

I'm not saying everyone abuses the system, but it is true that the more we have to pay for something, the more we appreciate it. Thats just how our brains work.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpopular opinions? : I have nothing against health care. I like doctors quite a lot actually. And I Could have health insurance if I was willing to pay for it. I'm not. What I do have a problem with is people whining about the cost of health care and wanting the government to do something about it. Have you (a generalizing you) been to a hospital recently? Does it look like a cheap operation to you? And does it look like an industry that's on the slow side? Welcome to Econ 101!

And when you mess with that equation, you can affect the quality of the product or service offered. Thats why it bothers me.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpopular opinions? : Actually, there are a ton of hospitals that are closing (St. Vincent's Hospital in NYC, which was the major trauma center in lower Manhattan, to name one), so I would have to disagree with you there. St. V's had a large population of uninsured patients that they wound up having to cover the costs for. Now, St. V's is gone, and all those people will be overloading other hospitals, causing a domino effect. The cost of providing treatment to uninsured patiens is one of the major reasons for the high cost of health care. Give these people access to primary care, and they won't need to use ERs as their primary doctor.
Posted by allisong23[/QUOTE]

Sure this would be great but its not easy to do.  ALso, there is a huge shortage of primary care physicians and this shortage will continue to become more extreme because of problems with how the government has already involved themselves.

Also, I totally agree with healthcare reform but the current bill hasnt' addressed real reform in a meaningful, economical or long term way at all.

Posted by ohwhynot[/QUOTE]

Actually, I think I like this better.  :)  But I agree that there are many variables.  I have a few friends from large families and they seemed to be doing fine and they all get along great as adults. 

For my ILs, I highly suspect my MIL had as many kids as she did because she was in a horrible marriage to someone that she didn't choose to marry (a long story).  I think she thought the more kids she had, the less she would have to deal with her husband.  She was just too busy working to help pay for the children that she didn't have time to raise them. 

Also, in her culture the children typically stay at home until they are married and I think she just assumed that she would have her kids live with her for 25 years and then by the time that they all moved out, there would be grandkids on the way from the oldest children.  Again, don't have to deal with the husband when babies are around.

So, in those cases where women have kids because they want to be distracted from something else, or think that their kids are their lives, I think they are very selfish.  Obviously this does not apply to all families.  I'm an only child so this big family thing is an adjustment for me.  :)

I love what I do, it's hardly glamourous or high-paying.  Primary care is almost a calling, like teaching or the priesthood.  My mother likes to remind me that I could have been a neurosurgeon.  Sigh.  Instead, I almost entirely see Medicare/Medical (California's Medicaid) elderly patients and work on quality improvement projects to reduce costs but improve quality of care.

Doctors, no matter the field, don't starve.  People pick their specialty and area of practice based on interest.  There will always be people who do normal primary care because they like it and don't like dealing with the pretty princess patients who call every other minute about nonexistent problems.

Eta: yes, there is a shortage of primary care physicians in this country.  There are ways to make the healthcare system more efficient so we can make up for this deficiency.  Also, if we took away a lot of the paperwork that makes my job so tedious, more people might like primary care again.  There are lots of ways to improve healthcare beyond what our politicians are thinking to do, someone just needs to try to do it.

Go tort reform!  California has it, keeps our malpractice insurance premiums very low.  I don't practice defensive medicine, probably because I've only ever practicedin CA.  But it'll take more than just tort reform to change healthcare spending.

Is that your copay or the full cost of an appointment??  All I can say is that most private physicians now have so much overhead with malpractice insurance, having usually one or two people on call to handle the ridiculousness of medicaid/medicare paperwork, all of the rest of the paperwork, etc. That they are making very little off of their actual work.  Also, the amount of money he/she had to invest to go to school.

Absolutely untrue, and I live in MA. I have not heard anyone say that they cannot get an appointment when they need one. Actually, when I went to the ER a few weeks ago when I broke my elbow, I was in and out in an hour (including x-rays). I told the nurse I was surprised to be out so quickly, and she said it had really quieted down once mandatory insurance was put into place.

This is the same kind of garbage that people were throwing around in the health care debate saying that primary doctors were going to leave medicine if the bill passed. My FBIL is a primary care doc, and I asked him if he had heard anyone leaving medicine if it passed. He laughed his ass off and said every doc he had talked to were looking forward to it passing. It is much easier to care for people who have had access to good primary care than those who have not been able to go to a doctor for years.

allisong23

Mica, you are totally right about people expecting every test known to man. People want every expensive test, even if they don't really need it ("but my neighbor had it!"). If they don't get it from you, they go somewhere else to another doctor who will give it to them because they are worried about getting sued. Good for you for standing tough!

There are studies of the Mass reform that show longer waits for everyone.  It is a logical conclusion that if you increase access without more doctors there will be more waits.  Basically basic economics.  Because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean anything.  Also,  I know of at least 50-60 primary care physicians that are considering retiring early due to this bill.  Another large group are thinking of reverting to cash only (and having lower costs) and also refusing to take medicare/medicaid patients. 

I do not know any doctors that wanted this bill to pass.  It is a joke and will end up hurting the very people that the government supposedly was trying to help.

Do you have any academic sources for your views on the MA healthcare reform?

Late to the party, but I understand jasmine's views on sports.  I may enjoy the social aspects of sports but I am not highly invested in the outcome.  I like sitting in the sun and drinking beer at baseball games, and I like making chili and having friends over for football games, but my life goes on whether "my team" (or really, "H's team") wins or loses.  Actually, this season I like baseball because we have a Vegas bet on the Reds winning the World Series, and if we win we get $3300.  But that's neither here nor there.

I love those in this post that said they rooted for the Saints! (Sorry Fishy and Nuggs) But, I too, wept at the end of that game, just for a completely different reason. I have loved that team since I could walk, and I went through every bad year at the games, watching the games, and that was one of the best sports moments of my life.

i also can't agree with those that feel no emotional connection to sports. I bleed for the teams I love, and I take it personally when they lose.
