HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA: WHO’S PAYING WHO? AND WHO’S GETTING WHAT?
Global Revolution 1: American Revolution 2: Day 14: Communication 1
30 Sep 2011 (g1a2d0014c1)
Part 1 of 2: Who’s Paying Who: Ranks of Uninsured, Costs and Kickbacks on
the Rise
"Number of uninsured climbs to highest figure since passage of Medicare,
Medicaid: 50 million uninsured shows urgency of enacting single-payer
Medicare for all."
"As Congress works to decrease the federal deficit by cutting health care
programs such as Medicare, policy experts say health providers will have to
find money elsewhere, which could force insurance premiums higher for most
Americans."
"According to a report put out by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the
Health Research and Educational Trust, the average family health insurance
policy now costs over ,000 a year."
"Is Your Doctor on Big Pharma’s Payroll? Medical device and pharmaceutical
companies are gearing up for a big change in the way they deal with their
most important middlemen: doctors."
Part 2 of 2: Who’s Getting What: Medical Risks Increase as Quality of Care
Declines
"Hospital infections kill more Americans each year than AIDS, breast cancer
and auto accidents combined."
"Medical errors are one of the Nation’s leading causes of death and injury.
A recent report by the Institute of Medicine estimates that as many as
44,000 to 98,000 people die in U.S. hospitals each year as the result of
medical errors. This means that more people die from medical errors than
from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS."
www.ahrq.gov/consumer/20tips.htm
"Following heart disease and cancer, medical malpractice is the third
largest cause of death in the United States of America."
"Medication errors are rising. A rising aging population, increase in care
by specialists, and an expanding range of drugs tax pharmacists’ and
physicians’ ability to spot bad interactions."
