Louie G, sorry, didn't mean to disregard your post.
I just got to it.
I think that the y2000 budget will be helpful to HRC and
give them time to strengthen from previous write-offs.
Build their computer and Internet programs.
Re-negotiate firmer contracts with HMOs.[ Will any survive? :-) ].
Build their local medical practices though excellent care.
I believe HRC is a core holding in healthcare.
They are private practice at it's best. The best that
America can offer.
Socialized Medicine and HMOs ( a form of Socialized Medicine
since they are both premised on the principle of
rationing ) will fail.
I believe that only intelligent rationing will save our excellent
Health Care System, and not the
indiscriminate ,across the board type practiced by Medicare,
HMOs and Socialized Medicine.
This rationing however must be excercised directly by the
patient.He must be the one having control
over what is being rationed: rationed to him and to others
( though what he pays for others); by paying with his
savings and hard earned, tax exempt? moneys
for health care just like any other insurance. Then he can
get any coverage he wants.He can decide also how much he is
willing to pay to support others through the voting process.
Understanding that if he abuses his body ( just like when you abuse a car ),
it will cost you more to fix it.
And so he will be more careful with driving,drinking,smoking,getting fat and sedentary etc. etc.
But to achieve this we must use the free market as in Canada's Premiere
Mr.Klein did in the example I posted previously.
I believe this is what HRC's doctors and management stand for.
In the last 10 years the true horrendous costs of HealthCare
have been hidden from Americans though artificial HMO Health
Care Rationing. These will now pop up in 2000.
There will be a giant sucking sound in the stock market
next year: that will be the sound of money leaving the stock market to pay
for MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE Health Care.
HRC will be a prime beneficiary of this money flow,
all IMHO,
TA
