[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 586064, member: 4932"] I could live with a plan like this. I would include regulation that stated that all health care providers have a price list for standard procedures: MRI, CAT scan, PET Scan, Regular Physical that includes standard blood work, EKG, and cancer screening for breast (breast manipulation and mammogram) and colon cancer. (Stool sample, not colonoscopy, unless anomalies show up) and that these price lists must be provided on demand. One modification I think would need to be made: although the insurance companies could compete nationally, their price lists might have to reflect regional differences. The Netherlands is a small, homogeneous country, the US is not. I would also modify the enabling legislation for Medicare Part D (drug plans) to state that the government will reimburse drug prices as negotiated by the VA. Right now, Part D is a huge giveaway to Pharma. Why do all the right wing conservative free market idealogues think that NOT NEGOTIATING price makes any sense? Oh, because that gives them a free slurp at the government trough! Socialized medicine is OKAY as long as corporations can profit from it. [/QUOTE]
