Does social medicine work?

We know that the old way was not work­ing, yet the new social way (which is not real­ly new at all)

Is not work­ing well either.

Large cor­po­ra­tions are run­ning most hos­pi­tals and Emer­gency rooms.

Many of these big com­pa­nies are accept­ing large dona­tions by char­i­ty to help defray the costs asso­ci­at­ed with those that tend to use the ER as their only method of obtain­ing health care.

What is real­ly inter­est­ing is that most of these ER loca­tions do not pro­vide the lev­el of care that the char­i­ta­ble dona­tions could and should pro­vide for.

In one loca­tion we dis­cov­ered that the hos­pi­tal actu­al­ly took the mon­ey that should have gone to help needy peo­ple and they built a new facil­i­ty for wealthy con­sumers who have insur­ance.

Health care is in a des­per­ate sit­u­a­tion and it is not because of a lack of mon­ey or peo­ple who have insur­ance it is a prob­lem with one of the sev­en dead­ly sins.

Greed.

We have greedy cor­po­ra­tions that exist at every lev­el imag­in­able wait­ing to stick it to the con­sumer, from med­ical devices to bandaids, phar­ma­cies to drug com­pa­nies and at every step of the way some­one is going to make a lit­tle mon­ey from those that are at their weak­est.

What kind of a sys­tem prof­its at the expense of the sick and dying?

Insur­ance com­pa­nies, med­ical providers, med­ical pack­ag­ing com­pa­nies, Lab com­pa­nies, clin­ics, every step in the chain of evo­lu­tion of health care is set­up to make com­pa­nies mon­ey.

It tru­ly is dia­bol­i­cal but is it bet­ter than social med­i­cine?

Yes, it is and here is the rea­son why that is true.

Social med­i­cine lacks a seri­ous part of what would make it work.

Human­i­ty.

Social med­i­cine is not com­pas­sion­ate, it does not pro­vide a good method of admin­is­tra­tion.

This is why it will not work and why were in the mess that we’re in now, The answer may be dif­fi­cult to find, how­ev­er we must fig­ure this out because con­tin­u­ing down this road is mad­ness.

Going back the way we can is equal­ly mad.

Com­ing togeth­er to fig­ure out how we can move for­ward is some­thing that must hap­pen and it must hap­pen soon.

There are bet­ter ways.
