What maybe will be different in the next two years is the fact that the public conservatives, liberals and others appear to be ready to partner at least on healthcare "solutions". ............. ----- Response ----- I'm not sure how relevant this is, but I recently read an article about a doctor that runs a 'cash at time of treatment' clinic. That is, he accepts no insurance or third party payments, thus greatly reducing his paperwork shuffling overhead costs. His customers include those lacking insurance, of course, but also some that are covered because his fees are often not much more that the co-pays they would have had to pay in their plan's network. Also, it seems to me that the debate over what constitutes a living wage and which employers are 'good or bad' is muddled by having an employment based health insurance system. _______________________________________________ This message was posted to Winona Online Democracy All messages must be signed by the senders actual name.
