[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 604199, member: 9859"] A boatload of ideas have proposed to ease pressure..... from boosting loan repayment programs for medical students studying primary care to narrowing the salary gap between primary care doctors and specialists like brain surgeons and cardiologists. As part of the health care overhaul, Obama quoted as saying the need to "elevate the profile of family care physicians and nurses as opposed to just the specialists who are typically going to make more money." Typically, those trained to intervene after a heart attack, most likely earn duoble/triple than those who help prevent the heart attack from happening in the first place. Another way expand access to primary care by encouraging doctors to adopt a team approach by relying more heavily on nurse practitioners and health educators for basic care and counseling. Nurse practitioners already operate in hundreds of private clinics set up in pharmacies, like CVS and Walgreen offering basic services like flu shots and treatments for minor ailments. They are faster than a visit to a primary care doctor and less expensive than a trip to the emergency room. States can offers loan repayments for new doctors who agree to work in community health centers in underserved areas for a period of time. Another way to expand primary care is to have some specialists provide the equivalent of primary care, obstetrician-gynecologists serve as primary care physicians for many women — a model that could be used for patients who rely on other specialists. So there are many innovative ways and ideals to reform Healthcare, instead of just screaming obscenities and displaying moronic signage with the contention on doing nothing. People wonder who is behind the town hall riots when anyone discusses health care reform, or Obamacare – the answer is [URL="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/08/06/rick-scott/"][U][COLOR=#810081]Conservatives for Patients Rights[/COLOR][/U][/URL] is headed by one Rick Scott.... who isn't a doctor... but used to be the CEO of a hospital, and under his watch, his medical administration defrauded Medicare of $1.7 billion through a practice called upcoding, wherein a Medicare patient gets treated, but Medicare is billed for additional tests that never took place.
