12/24/2002 "Hospital-Insurance-Drug Complex: The REAL Axis of Evil"

Is there any human being left who does not know that the cause of the high cost of health care is the same as the cause of the high cost of utilities? I will name it, that high cost cause is theft and corruption engineered by the owners and CEO's.

The Insurance Industry, Pharmaceutical Companies and Hospital Owners (often religious charities and churches) are making and stealing tremendous amounts of money from ill and dying people. And they are cooking the accounting books so that their theft is hidden.

Do you know the daily charges for bed and board only in a hospital is minimally seven thousand dollars a day?

Why?

You can hire a nurse and three aides for less than seven thousand a day.

Why can't America develop a network of smaller nursing homes around hospitals?

Then you do not need all the administrators and receptionists and big ticket items.

Do you know that the Drug Company's so called high costs of research and development is often done by our universities and by tax funded federal grants? The majority of the cost is subsidized by working people who get nothing in return, not even an education at those universities?

Do you realize most insurance companies will not pay claims nor insure those individuals who make claims or who have "pre-existing conditions? Do you know what their profits were for 2001? Do you know the salaries and benefit packages of the CEOs? That will be hard to figure out as the Insurance Companies have a bizarre system of ownership that makes it difficult to discover who actually controls your particular division or subsidiary.

The reason you do not know the answers to these questions is that the agencies and boards set up to regulate this Hospital-Drug-Insurance Complex are staffed by people who work for those companies.

There is no answer except the simple one. Don't feel guilty that you cannot spend what little time you have left in futile monitoring and comparison of policies. Do not be drawn into debates over the "fairest" alternative system. The multi-billion dollar medical-insurance-drug complex spends a lot of money devising accounting methods, and public relations campaigns to deceive their customer/patients. They have never been fair with us and never will be. Give up on the Citizen's Utility Board joke monitoring agencies.

Just start demanding that those you elect nationalize the rip off Hospital, Insurance and Drug industry complex. Don't be fooled again. This is the evil axis that threatens us with mass destruction. And don't wait till you or your child gets cancer to do something about it.
