1. Do the heartless greedy republican capitalists who've gotten us into this mess healthier that the rest of us? 2. How about costs? who can afford such a heart test? What would it cost someone whithout insurance? Why ate HMO's allowed to determine what is or isn't preventative health care and other medical realated things when all they care about is costs? How can we as a nation fix this problem? do we need to exterminate those mentioned in item one above?
3. What are we doing as a nation to insure the doctors we have are trained properly? What measures are being used? 4. Why don't we as a nation have our medical records electronically recorded? Xrays, cat scans, ultrasounds, etc. are of course of the patients but it seems as though they belong to the doctors/hmos/hospitals who use them. What can be done to prevent these institutions from letting pharmacuticals or others from obtainint our data?
5. Is socialized medicine an answer to the financial problems that our manufactures say is a reason they send work overseas?
