All I could gather from mel's post is that "we can't" because of monetary factor. Healthcare has become a enormously expensive operation. We not need doctors and hospitals to run those enormously and unnecessary staffed operations. We need to get the insurance out of there, whether they are patient insurance or doctor insurance or hospital insurance. And we need automation in the electronic realm, not a paper based system. My healthcare system is highly automated and I am extremely happy. I order refills with my doctor online, I set up appointments online, my lab reports go online with a automatic intimation to my email etc. etc. As a result the staff at my clinic is almost non existent. It is a whole different story if you go to UCSF, which is a prestigious healthcare group. Heavily paper based, very inefficient and I am sure more goes towards administration and very little to healthcare. What I like very much about Obamacare is that there will be significant automation in our countrywide system at the end of this decade, presuming that the SC does not strike it down.
