Comments on: Mass Makes Mess for Dems and Health Care Reform http://thehealthcaremaze.us/2010/01/23/mass-makes-mess-for-dems-and-health-care-reform/ A plea for a more rational system Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:45:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: jimmy1920 http://thehealthcaremaze.us/2010/01/23/mass-makes-mess-for-dems-and-health-care-reform/#comment-383 jimmy1920 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 21:04:25 +0000 http://thehealthcaremaze.us/?p=1884#comment-383 Thanks for the info and the input. I trust then that you agree that a single payer solution would have made much more sense and should be acted on before massachusetts spreads to the rest of the country.

The Governor and the Insurance Commissioner in its great wisdom has rejected the rate increases for all of the insurance providers in MA. This means that although the MA law mandates that everyone have health insurance or be subject to fines, no one can buy it here today because all of the insurance carriers have shut down their quoting systems. Unless the Governor reverses his decision or the courts over-rule him, all of the major carriers will leave the state. What a mess! BCBS of MA lost $150 million last year due to rising costs of healthcare and tried to increase their premiums so they wouldn't loose more in 2010. The problem is blamed on the insurance companies who like most carriers in MA are non-profit! And the few that are for profit average 4%. Rather than go after the culprit which is the rising cost of care each year, they go after the insurance companies. Thats like putting a bandage on a severed artery---it wont stop the bleeding! Rising healthcare costs are primarily driven by doctors and hospitals who are trying to avoid mal-practice lawsuits that could drive them out of business, since there is no one addressing tort reform. The medical providers over test, over medicate, over extend hospital stays for the terminally ill, bounce patients to specialists who try every expensive treatment available, all in the name of covering their behinds. Until the people in office realize they dont know how to fix the problem by understanding and addressing the core drivers of health care cost, we will continue to see costs rise and stupid mandates passed inot law.
