The GOP seems to think medicine is supposed to be just a capitalistic enterprise not an attempt to alleviate sickness and pain in our nation. When are people going to wake up and realize this nation has fallen behind all the other advanced countries in offering quality medicine to all citizens simply because we let a handful of enormous health insurance companies and pharmaceutical countries run our medical nation’s health system. There is plenty of room for private insurance companies who could offer top notch medical plans to those who can afford it, but something must be in place, so no Americans are left out in the cold and that means a single payer system offering at least some kind of coverage to all Americans at a reasonable price. It would appear the GOP thinks of medicine as a capitalistic enterprise and not a quest to alleviate sickness in our nation. There is plenty of money to be made in medicine, but what this country needs is a single payer system providing the opportunity for all Americans to obtain medical health. Anything beyond a guaranteed health plan for all Americans can be covered say these private health insurance companies that could offer fine medicine at market rates. We are the only advanced nation in the world that lets a handful of private enterprises fun medicine. Even tiny Cuba does a better job than we do. Wake up! We are being used by greedy companies. – J. R. Ball Seniors Need Care Today? Here Are 4 Choices To Try Before The Emergency Room (BPT) - A health concern rarely strikes when it’s convenient for you, and in most cases it occurs at the worst possible time. When you need care and don’t have time to schedule an appointment, what do you do? You head to the emergency room, of course. You wait in the long ER lines and pay the hefty bill that concludes your visit, all for a nonemergency situation that required immediate treatment. It’s hardly the most efficient solution, and while your health is certainly your most important concern, there are ways to receive the same quality care without the long wait and extravagant expense of an emergency room visit. Considering The Three C’s Years ago the emergency room was your only option when you needed immediate care, but today’s health care market is home to a number of flourishing alternative options. To find the right solution for your situation, consider the three C’s: care, convenience and cost. • Care: Evaluate the severity of your symptoms and identify what services you need. An emergency issue should always be treated at the ER, but if the problem is not life- or limb-threatening, it can be treated somewhere else. • Convenience: It’s a good idea to know what health care facilities are near you, as well as their hours of operation. • Cost: Not every provider will be covered by your insurance, so it’s important to understand your coverage area as well as your pre-authorization requirements. If you face a serious health issue, you should head to the emergency room immediately. However, if the issue merits immediate care but is not life- or limb-threatening, the Urgent Care Association of America offers this quick guide to your on-demand health care options. Urgent care centers are equipped to handle illnesses and injuries that require X-rays, intravenous fluids and/or on-site lab tests. With an emphasis on convenience, urgent care offers short wait times - often 30 minutes or less compared to four hours in the emergency room - and affordable care, made even more so because it is covered by most insurance providers. Otherwise known as walk-in clinics, retail clinics are commonly found in supermarkets or pharmacies and specialize in treating less serious conditions than urgent care centers or emergency rooms. A product of the digital age, telemedicine connects patients with providers via virtual visits, resulting in lower costs and decreased travel time. Telemedicine services are an attractive option if you live in a rural community or for times when the treatment you require does not extend beyond a consultation. Finally, you may consider an on-site clinic. This option is now offered by many employers as a way of providing increased health care access to their employees. Similar to retail clinics, an on-site clinic specializes in offering wellness and preventative services - though the specific services offered by each clinic may vary. You’ve read all the care options above and you have a pretty good idea of the best solution for any care need. Match that need with the right treatment option above and you’ll receive the same quality care without the long wait and hefty bill of that emergency room visit.
