		<description>Is Abortion Health Care?

Let’s say you’re a woman who abandoned discretion, or a young girl who got carried away one steamy night with that month’s true love, or a college kid who conferred more benefits on her friend than either of you anticipated and as a result you got pregnant.

Where do you go?  What do you do?  

Ghostbusters are not an option since you haven’t conceived some phantom but a precious human child. 

And, let’s say you have an innate antipathy toward the thought of murdering a sentient being who, by no choice of his or her own, happens to be comfortably nestled within your body.

What do you do?

Well, there’s always the latest craze, the “morning after” pill.  Also termed “Plan B” or “Emergency Contraception,” it’s relatively inexpensive but must be prescribed by a doctor if you’re under 17.  

However, Plan B is actually a two-step abortafacient, that is, an abortion remedy which will kill the tiny product of your indiscretion, your baby, and may cause severe short- and long-term emotional and physical repercussions.

Then there’s the more traditional method of killing your baby, . . .

		<description>Our Healthcare Costs/Spending is Unsustainable.  Our only Serious Option is, to used Health Information Technology to: 1) Eliminate Fraud, 2) Eliminate Administrative Inefficiencies, 3) Reduced Healthcare Costs, and 4)Improved Medical care Outcomes.  

For decades, Microsoft&#039;s Desktop Applications have Increased Productivity, Efficiency, and Costs Savings in the Work Place.

Proper Deployment of HIT Solutions, and Training can Increased Productivity (i, e, medical data mining/warehousing, risks treatment, service delivery), Efficiency (i, e, medical errors, redundant and inappropriate care), and have a Costs Savings of around 20-30% of our Annual National Healthcare Expenditures ($2.4 Trillions).

The Engine of Economic Growth for this 21st Century is &quot;BROADBAND.&quot;  We can start by Deploying a pure Packet-based, Multi-Service National Transport Network Infrastructure, using Ethernet throughout this National &quot;Netwwork of Networks.&quot;  This new National &quot;Network of Networks&quot; could then Connect all Optical islands, Nationwide.

The Investment in this, Next Generation National &quot;Network of Networks&quot;, can Serve as a Business Driver for: e-Healthcare, e-Commerce, e-Education, Energy Systems, Transportation Systems, Social Networking, Entertainment, etc.

Please See:  www.gkquoquoi.blogspot.com for Summary Deployment Plan, for the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN).

		<description>HSA&#039;s saving money? What a farce! Doctors routinely send out hyper-inflated invoices and they get smacked down by the insurance companies. Exactly how does an uninformed patient bargain with a doctor better than an insurance company armed with real comparative information?

Let the jerks publish their rates! Or force the insurance companies to publish what they&#039;ll pay so consumers have a clue.

The doctor-patient relationship is a fantasy. Even elective cosmetic surgery requires &quot;estimates&quot; that cost quite a bit. You people are dreaming!

Make more Rx drugs OTC or Pharmacist-prescribed. We have fewer rights than Mexicans. That will give the doctors plenty of idle time.</description>

		<description>#19. Jharp, it doesn&#039;t get better than the Golden Rule.  That would suffice.</description>

		<description>35  &quot;How anyone could favor denying diabetics and lupus sufferers along with those who have previously suffered from cancer and other tragedies, access to health care defies my imagination.&quot;

Err....I have no interest in denying any of these people access to health care.  I&#039;m on the side that opposes death panels [Troll bait!  Troll bait!  Getcher troll bait right here!].

However, neither do I have any interest in being forced to pay for their treatments.</description>

Thanks for the help. I know I shouldn&#039;t try to reason with trolls, but sometimes I hope that others who are reading the comments might benefit from my attempts to reason with the opposition and/or to refute their points.</description>

		<description>#28.  Jharp, if you want the skinny on pre existing conditions and how that affects health care, take a look at that very thing in the state of Main.  People buy insurance when they get sick and then drop it when they are cured.  This isn&#039;t just about the chronically ill.</description>

		<description>Runaway malpractice awards?  The Dems don&#039;t think we have a tort reform issue.  They want to retain a system that tortures doctors and exposes patients to billions of dollars worth of defensive medicine they don&#039;t need. In addition, most truly injured patients are never captured by the present system.  The legal system needs reform much more than the health car system does. See www.MDWhistleblower.blogspot.com under Legal Quality category.</description>

		<description>39. goy:

Wasting your time on jharp. He&#039;s one of the duller tools. Has no answer to beclowning himself over the pre-existing condition point, and none whatsoever to a single cite showing how abysmally ignorant he is about how the costs of defensive medicine play into medical liability costs. (The cite was for Cap&#039;n Rusty anyway as it never crossed my mind that harpo would read it or understand it if he had.) A parting shot over another klutz position he took on tax issues that was absurdly easy to deconstruct - and that he&#039;s still bitter about - and he&#039;s scampered off.</description>
