Surgical Tourism - (USA)
Surgery isn’t the first or even the last thing that comes to mind when you think tourism and vice versa. As misnomered as it may sound, but surgical tourism is what is happening in the health care industry today. Surgical tourism, also known as medical tourism, medical travel, health travel and health tourism, is traveling abroad for surgery. So why would someone choose to go overseas for surgery? The number one reason is because they can get huge discounts when compared to the price tags o

Did you really think Pharmcos respect your privacy? - (USA)
More than 10 years after she tried without success to have a baby, Marcy Campbell Krinsk is still receiving painful reminders in her mail. The ads and promotions started after she bought fertility drugs at a pharmacy in San Diego.Marketers got hold of her name, and she found coupons and samples in her mail that shadowed the growth of an imaginary child — at first, for Pampers and baby formula, then for discounts on family photos, and all the way through the years to gifts suitable for an element

Solving Healthcare With Vouchers - (USA)
In the Christian Science Monitor David Rose proposes using vouchers to reform the healthcare system: St. Louis - Democratic proposals to reform the American healthcare industry require too much faith in government while Republican proposals don’t solve the problem of the uninsured. The best known hybrid proposal, the Wyden-Bennett plan, overhauls the current insurance industry and solves the uninsured problem by mandating coverage. But as we have learned from Massachusetts’ experience, en

Correcting misinformation about ObamaCare - (USA)
[Posted by Karl] Pres. Obama sounded the alarm in his weekly radio address, seeking to correct disnformation and dispel rumors about the Democrats’ healthcare proposals. There is a lot on the web about ObamaCare that seems fishy , but rather than sending bits and pieces to flag@whitehouse.gov, I am compiling them here in several categories: Misinformation from Pres. Obama about the cost of ObamaCare . Let me repeat: Health insurance reform cannot add to our deficit over the next deca

Freer Markets, Not More Government, to Reform Health Care - (USA)
In thinking about the health care reform debate, I recalled my days as a Congressional staff member during the Carter administration. Here’s a look at what President Jimmy Carter told Congress and the American people in his State of the union Address on January 25, 1979 : A responsible budget is not our only weapon to control inflation. We must act now to protect all Americans from health care costs that are rising $1 million per hour, 24 hours a day, doubling every 5 years. We must take cont

Getting Real with HealthCare: Decapitate The Health Insurance Companies - (USA)
Cut their heads off… What? Too gruesome? I am talking about the 1300 Health Insurance Companies that are “for profit”. I am talking about killing health insurance companies, disbanding their entire reason for being… to suck the life and every dollar possible out of you, Mr and Mrs America. I know that some of you rednecks are going to town halls to fight Socialized medicine, even though your grandparents are living because of “Socialized medicine”.

Study Found Cheap Blood Pressure Meds Are Best. No One Cared - (USA)
There’s a lot of talk these days about comparative effectiveness — trying to figure out how existing drugs stack up against one another, in an effort to both save money and improve patients’ health. But, as this morning’s New York Times notes, a big comparative study of blood pressure medicines published a few years back shows just how tough it can be to persuade docs and patients to change their ways — particularly if a study shows that an old, cheap drug is better than newer, more expensive

How the White House's Deal With Big Pharma Undermines Democracy - (USA)
I'm a strong supporter of universal health insurance, and a fan of the Obama administration. But I'm appalled by the deal the White House has made with the pharmaceutical industry's lobbying arm to buy their support. Last week, after being reported in the Los Angeles Times , the White House confirmed it has promised Big Pharma that any healthcare legislation will bar the government from using its huge purchasing power to negotiate lower drug prices. That's basically the same deal George W. Bus
