We have ( We the people ) Social Security Offices, Welfare offices……

I propose we build our own Medicare, Medicaid, Hospitals for our Medicare, Medicaid recipients in each and every County, Parrish, and District..

There are about 3114 Counties Parishes, Districts ect….. in the United States.

If we could build a forty five bed 15,000 square foot Medicare, Medicaid Hospital at 200 dollars a square foot. It would cost three million dollars for one Hospital. Now add another three million to complete it. Our Medicare, Medicaid hospital with 45 beds would come in at six million dollars. We could build a Medicare, Medicaid Hospital in every county in the entire United States for 18,684,000,000 Lets call it Twenty Billion with the leg work. One architect, one low cost design.

Now some counties will have more population than others. I’m aware of that. So for fun let’s double the number of Medicare Medicaid Hospitals and spread it out later. We now have 30,000 Square foot and ninety beds per county. Cost to build, Forty Billion Dollars. Perhaps we could use some of that Stimulus Money to put people to work building for but a short time.

Now I don’t know what the true average cost for nightly care in a public hospital or what we might be paying for it is. But I know this. If we saved 400 dollars per day per patient per room with our Medicare, Medicaid Hospital we would save 40,917,960,000 That pays for our Hospitals in one year. Do the math. That’s Forty Billion return in one year.

Now lets build our own manufacturing plant in say Michigan? We build our own Hospital Beds, Wheel Chairs, Walkers, ect. We now ship them to our Medicare, Medicaid Hospital to distribute and be returned when no longer needed. We just did away with rental costs and who knows how much fraud.

We could have our own diagnostic equipment and pharmacy right there in our own Medicare, Medicaid Hospital. No more paying two, three times the cost.

Now about staffing the thing. How many I wonder have the gifted IQ to become a physician and not the funds. My idea would be to give free education along with room and board. Same goes for the nurses. You can quit us only with all educational and boarding moneys up front, in full, and with interest. For now we staff it best we can.

All in all Medicare Medicaid Reform can be had here.

Medicare, Medicaid nursing home anyone?

Under Representative Cox’s regime, aside from the definite criminal liability I’d face, I wouldn’t be responsible for the probably $1million or higher damages I caused through my reckless and wanton behavior. That’d be all based on the insurance contract between the victim and her insurer.

These ideas are dangerous. They encourage the worst doctors in the United States to practice in Oklahoma. Instead of encouraging “defensive medicine,” which is a myth, this regime would encourage reckless medicine. Finally, doctors could concentrate on what really matters — profit. The patient? Whether they live or die? Whether the doctor screws up and kills the patient? So what? Not their problem.

The rest of this stuff is no big deal, even great. But allowing and encouraging doctors to practice negligent and reckless medicine is a dangerous idea which would kill people if implemented.
