folk1e BS: Sicko (25) RE: BS: Sicko 30 Dec 07


No system is perfect!    But...
anybody who can justify a system whereby the total costs of providing medical care is met by a company(ies) who do it for proffit, will have a hard time explaining why it is :-

Cheaper for the recipient ....... they must pay the companies profit AND their medical costs (divided by the number in the system)!

Cheaper for the provider (hospital) ...... admin costs will occur to check they will get paid from the insurer or to extract payment from the recipient.

Cheaper for the insurer ..... hospitals will have an inbuilt tendancy to over medicate (to be safe) up to their full patient capacity.

Or am I missing the point here in NHS (for now) land?
