How too"milk" the system for more cash?
How to do taxes and use loop-holes to keep more of the greed-earned
money?
A:I think that the word you are looking for is Ignorant with a capital I!
Has the thought of healthcare management ever crossed your mind? Would it
be better to have a doctor making decisions for the health care industry
or an ignorant politician. Maybe thinking about what you say would help a
lot.
I'm assuming you're saying that the U of I MBA is bad. I'm not sure. I'm
not in the program, I was just telling everyone we have one.
No, I just cut out a picture of someone I thought was cool and put it on
my web page. Just kidding. Of course it's me.
The problem with medicine is that in that past, a lot of doctors were
basically running their own businesses. They were "small businesses"
that were poorly mismanaged from a business standpoint. However, it
didn't really matter, since they were making a lot of money.
However, with the advent of HMO's (which I think are a good thing in
principle in that now many more people have access to health care),
doctor's became, in essence, "salesmen" of the health insurance
companies. What doctors became involved in is now the insurance
business...delivering upon premiums.
The problem with medicine now is that there really are too many strict
business people with no medical background making decisions, and
there's a tendency to overemphazie cost-cutting over the care of the
patients. If we look at the two factors of cost-cutters (the people
running HMO's) and the patient advocates (the doctors), then we see
that there really could be use for doctors
