One local doctor wrote a letter to the editor a few years ago stating that he was going to stop accepting Medicare patients, simply because he had to increase his accounting staff to take care of the patients which drove his costs through the roof. I know a doctor in Oklahoma City that doesn’t take Medicare, he charges $35 a visit and provides full service. If the doctors in Mexico become Medicare eligible, you might as well say good bye to low cost medicine in Mexico.

Tort reform would certainly lower costs. Here a link to some interesting charts on the subject which I published on my blog, http://www.tartanmarine.blogspot.com:

These charts, if accurate, pretty much explain why we are where we are on HCR. The Trial Lawyers have a LOT of power.

As I posted earlier – amoxycillin – USA $1000 with paperwork – Mexico $ 6 off the shelf. But it isn’t just Mexico for old age care and medical – its India and other countries. The US is not the land of the free but the overpriced land of the corrupt bureaucrat – a Sweden on steroids. Interesting direction where the huddled masses have to be heading in order to breathe free.
