This isn’t so much about whether you support Obamacare or not.
A couple examples of what I mean:
1) Last week I had a "doctors" appointment that actually consisted of a tech taking my temperature, weight, and blood pressure, and then a registered nurse asking me if I had any problems or questions. I have some chronic medical problems, and see a few different specialists as a result, all of them insist on regular checkups – most of which go something like the one above, and I’m sure they charge my insurance a couple hundred every time.
2) The local hospital has essentially quadrupled in size in the past decade or so. That includes adding rooms so all patients can have their own, two parking ramps, a separate, eight story office building, a new lobby that is nearly as big as the whole first floor was before all these expansions (filled with plenty of marble and decorative fountains)… and oh yeah, a new state of the art heart center and a cancer clinic.
How much cheaper do you think healthcare might be without this kind of stuff?
Well, let’s take a look at Canada and Europe. They have longer life expectancies than the US and they pay *much* less. All the countries listed below have universal care. I think as get closer to their system, we’ll improve our costs.
The fact is that in the USA we pay nearly *twice* what Europeans pay for health care, and we have both higher infant mortality and lower life expectancy than most European countries. In the table below, im = infant mortality and L = life expectancy. See http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004393.html for infant mortality and life expectancy; see http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/46/33/38979719.pdf for costs.
United States — im= 6.4, L= 78.0, cost $7290, 16.0% of GDP
Canada ——— im= 4.6, L= 80.3, cost $3895, 10.1% of GDP
Austria ——– im= 4.5, L= 79.2, cost $3763, 10.1% of GDP
United Kingdom — im= 5.0, L= 78.7, cost $2992, 8.4% of GDP
Denmark —— im= 4.5, L= 78.0, cost $3362, 10.4% of GDP
Finland ——- im= 3.5, L= 78.7, cost $2840, 8.2% of GDP
France ——– im= 4.2, L= 79.9, cost $4763, 11.0% of GDP
Germany —— im= 4.1, L= 79.0, cost $3527, 10.4% of GDP
Greece ——– im= 5.3, L= 79.4, cost $2727, 9.6% of GDP
Italy ———– im= 5.7, L= 79.9, cost $2686, 8.7% of GDP
Norway ——- im= 3.6, L= 79.7, cost $4763, 8.9% of GDP
Spain ——— im= 4.3, L= 79.8, cost $2671, 8.5% of GDP
Sweden ——- im= 2.8, L= 80.6, cost $3323, 9.1% of GDP
Switzerland — im= 4.3, L= 80.6, cost $4417, 10.8% of GDP
USA has 36 days longer life expectancy than these two countries!
Ireland ——- im= 5.2, L= 77.9, cost $3424, 7.6% of GDP
Portugal —– im= 4.9, L= 77.9, cost $2150, 9.9% of GDP
According to David Frum (special assistant to president, 2001-2), between 2000 and 2007, the cost of the average insurance policy for a family of four doubled. See http://www.frumforum.com/the-bush-economic-record-blame-healthcare In this question I show a back-of-the envelope estimate of the cost of maintaining the status quo http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AirVVzkXd37O1CEFU8feEo3ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090916131445AAO0ltM&show=7#profile-info-S4549Rqwaa We can’t afford to maintain the status quo, but if we did it would cost $8 to $9 trillion spread over the next 10 years. John McCain agrees the current system is failing: http://www.protectpatientsnow.org/site/c.8oIDJLNnHlE/b.3532111/k.E7F2/McCain_Calls_for_Medical_Liability_Reform.htm
Some folks blame our high costs on malpractice insurance. But the numbers don’t support that. A recent CBO estimate http://cbo.gov/ftpdocs/106xx/doc10641/10-09-Tort_Reform.pdf says malpractice reform might save half a percent of expenditures. Another estimate: including legal fees, insurance costs, and payouts, the cost of the suits comes to less than 1.5 percent of health-care spending. See http://www.insurance-reform.org/pr/AIRhealthcosts.pdf and http://makethemaccountable.com/myth/RisingCostOfMedicalMalpracticeInsurance.htm Along those lines, it’s interesting to note that a number of states already have "caps and tort reform" yet the insurance companies have not lowered the cost of malpractice insurance in those states. Finally, most malpractice cases occur in state court where the Federal government has no juristiction. See http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/09/debating-the-cap.html#more
