Wednesday, August 06, 2008  The Government Can Fix It!  Here is
the bag 'o pills brought in by a very nice gal tonight. This gal
gets her care at the VA. There are some fantastic docs at the
VA. Since their system is high on procedure and protocols it is
light on personal responsibility on the doctor side. It's not
that the docs don't want the personal responsibility, it's that
the system doesn't allow for it. Worse, patients often see
different providers at every visit. In other words, it's a lot
like getting your primary care at the ER, which is what lots of
folks do today. Here is the result. Half of these expensive and
dangerous medicines are duplicates. No doctor-patient
relationship. This gal is very sick. She will be admitted but
guess what, the VA is 'full'. We are admitting her here but we
don't know jack shit about her history and the VA medical
records department is closed for the night. This is what the
government does with health care. Do you want this for you and
your family? I think not.     1.
