i just got my yearly tune-up, and i was really happy to see that my cardiologist has gone completely digital.
In the past, they had a company that would provide your medical records for a copy fee of $30... i liked having a fresh one around, as i spend a lot of time traveling in rural areas and never know when i might need the records to save time in case of an event.

Now that they are digital, i just asked the receptionist for my records, and she just clicked on the stuff i wanted and printed them out in about 3 minutes, no fee.

Hopefully, a standardized system will come to be so that any other doctor can get the important information instantly. The insurance companies seem to be balky about this, as information is power, and they want absolute power over medical decisions.

How would you handle people with existing conditions that cannot get insurance coverage???

actually, that's a great question......

but, I have an answer:

it's in "structure".....

most people.....(and, the biggest belly-roll laugh is when Obama says he wants EMPLOYERS to provide health care insurance)......

anyway....most people do not realize that employer coverage of health care insurance was a tactic employed to EVADE WAGE & PRICE CONTROLS during the second world war....

it was "invented" as a way to screw the system.....and progressives and Obamacrats love it....when it was a DEMORAT who put the controls in place....

these progressive idiots have to make you pee in your pants!!!!!

back to the original question.....

medical insurance should be structured like life insurance.....in other words, your carrier should stay with you for your life....whether you move from state to state or change employers....your medical insurance should stay with you....that will eliminate most preconditions except congenital defects....
