Why doesn't anyone realize Doctors have Bankrupted GM?

Quote from spinn:

That all comes back to my initial question.....where is the incentive for DRs to cure or prevent a disease if they profit from it?

In my opinion, it should be mandated that nobody can have an insurance decuctible of less than $3000 per year. Let the market hold DRs accountable.

And obesity may be a "disease" in about 5% of the population.

Before considering obesity a disease, maybe the patient should eat right and work out an hour three times a week for six months?

Come on man, if the majority of people were that responsible, there would be no financial crisis and I would have had to pay a lot more for the condo that I recently bought.

Well, that's a surprise. The usual response for anti-aging research is very negative. It has surprised me the amount of hostility against something like this. You guys pro attitude is not typical.
I don't know what to make of it, I always figured this was a no-brainer even with the problems that would come about - but no, people really are against it - it boggles the mind.
I can't figure out why people willingly want to accept frailty, decrepitude, dysfunction and then death as a relief. But that's the way it is.:confused:
 
Do healthcare costs affect other industries too? Why aren't other businesses going bankrupt because of these costs?

I think I understand. It's basically a form of Stockholm Syndrome. If you can't live without something, you better figure out how to live comfortably with it. Basically, most people think that aging will not be cured in his/her lifetime, so best thing to do is try not to think about it too much. It's depressing seeing how the government spends so much money on worthless things while research in an area which will benefit millions and save the govt. billions years later down the road is neglected. I am talking about this:

The simple reason is that people live for today and are not so concerned about payoffs in the future. Fortunately, we can appreciate what we do have today compared to 2000, 500, or even 50 years ago. I would rather be in the bottom 20% of income today than the top 10% of income 200 years ago -- I would still have a higher quality of life (ignoring the social features).

OK....I think anyone would freely admit that a drunken 12 year old with a box of crayons could do a better job running GM than the current narcissists in charge.

But..........healthcare is half of the money they owe. If the 37th best healthcare providing country did not charge twice as much as the best country, GM and dozens of other companies, woiuld not be teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

As someone with a chronic illness....it is my conclusion that our healthcare systems is corrupt and incompetent...and insanely expensive.

you would be correct, at least IMHO. I do think that Detroit is what is going to bring Universal Healthcare to the United States.
