WaPo Columnist...Stop Whining, Sure Some Will Die But We Need To Save Money On Health Care

I'll give Eugine Robinson this much, he's more honest about the true impetus for health care reform than say Obama, Reid and Pelosi are.

He uses the recent federal guidelines which say women don't really need all that many mammograms after all. Turns out, according to the federal task force, they are expensive and the benefits don't justify the costs (being a good liberal he throws in Prostate Cancer screening in the interest of equal time).

Why do we really need to cut down on these cancer screenings? The answer...

The honest solution is a word that cannot be spoken: rationing. Our system already rations health care based on the individual's ability to pay. Insurance companies ration some tests and procedures based on age, risk factors and what often seems like whim. This ad hoc rationing doesn't work very well, and nothing in any of the reform bills even tries to address the basic consensus that makes spending continue to rise: Put a lid on everybody else's costs, but don't touch mine.

Where to begin?

First of all, ability or inability to pay for something is not rationing. The idea that we currently ration health care comes from advocates of a government takeover (one way or the other) of the health care system. When the government is in charge (as in the UK or Canada) there is rationing because there's one provider and they say we have x dollars to spend this year and then divide it up amongst the population.

In the US system, there is a theoretically unlimited amount of health care available, you just have to be willing to pay for it. If you have the cash or insurance, there is always someone willing to take your money and provide you with a service, operation or drug. Your insurance may not cover some things but that's not rationing, that's the contract you signed. If you think they are holding out against the terms of that contract you have legal recourse to force them to pony up. Not so much when the government holds the cards.

Under the current system you can always change insurance companies if you don't like their conditions. Real reform would make that easier by eliminating state control over insurance companies to allow for greater competition (always the key to lowering prices). Yet neither that or tort reform, another huge cost reduction measure, is on the table.

Confession....I can not afford to purchase and operate this airplane (though if you morons want to chip in, I'll give you a ride sometime). That does not mean Waco airplanes are being rationed by the government or the manufacturer. It means, I don't have a quarter of a million dollars laying around (and that's before insurance, maintenance, etc).

When they say the current system is rationing care, it's a word game proponents are playing to make you feel as if you won't be giving up something. The fact is, if you have insurance now, you most certainly will be losing something under the Democrats.

In fact, under the health care reform currently being worked on, these "recommendations" from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force would become law.

Second, Robinson's honesty contradicts something Obama has been using as a selling point for over a year, namely that testing and early diagnosis of diseases would save money.

And insurance companies will be required to cover, with no extra charge, routine checkups and preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies -- (applause) -- because there's no reason we shouldn't be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse. That makes sense, it saves money, and it saves lives.

That's from Obama's speech to Congress. One is tempted to yell, "You Lie!"

Obviously that was always BS but Obama and the Democrats have been selling the country on the idea they would give everyone more and better service, expand coverage all while lowering costs.

It can't be done (at least not by government fiat).

Instead, Obama is going to take services and money from upper income groups, those with insurance now and the elderly and give it to people who don't have coverage.

Democrats used to be honest and say their goal was universal care, cutting costs never came into the picture (think Howard Dean in '04). Then they found people weren't willing to give up their care and money for others. Now they say it's all about cutting costs, improving service and oh yeah, maybe a little more coverage.

In other words, Democrats simply lie. Kudos to Robinson for at least being honest about it.

12 Our system already rations health care based on the individual's ability to pay.

Then everything in the friggin' world is rationed by liberal logic.

Drew, they've shifted from Universal Coverage to Cutting Costs when it was supposed to all be the same thing.  We would cut costs overall by covering everybody, bringing the non-payers into the system so they'd be less expensive.  Now they're trying to tell us that GOVERNMENT is the arbiter of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.  HAH!

Not to mention that forcing the Payers to cover the Non-Payers is exactly the system we have now, just without the government involved.  So we'll add a million bureaucrats (like Britain), politics, and it will get CHEAPER?  Only if you make fewer widgets, and that means fewer incidents of care...ie, rationing.

Of course, there has been no move toward Free Market reforms which would NOT create a bureaucracy but reduce it, which would provide incentives for MORE service, and DECREASE the cost-shifting that's the damn problem to begin with.  But Free Market reforms, while faster and easier to institute, don't empower government, so they're non-starters.

It's all about power and buying votes.

THANK YOU!!!!! I have this argument with lefties all the freaking time. They all insist that the insurance companies ration care. No, they ration their funds. However, if you want care that the insurance company says they won't pay for, you can still get that care. It will just be followed with a bill in the mail. Bottom line is you still have the option to have whatever treatment you want. You just have to come out of your own pocket for it.

25 In the US system, there is a theoretically unlimited amount of health care available, you just have to be willing to pay for it.

You've just the nailed the fatal flaw of the Democrat's health care reform; it isn't reform at all, it's simply more regulation. If health care is getting too expensive, that means demand is rising faster than supply. Therefore, real reform would involved increasing the supply of doctors, medicines, and hospitals. ObamaCare does just the opposite, it focuses entirely on demand.

The way to increase the supply of medical care is to lower barriers to entering the market. The government could help by lowering regulatory barriers, undertaking tort reform and subsidizing medical and nursing school educations to encourage more people and more companies to enter the health care business.

and you get to what is the meat and potatoes of the argument.  Capitalism rations resources based on money which is earned or given based on individual decisions on what is productive to society.

 

Socialism rations resources based on the concept that everyone is equal and deserves the same amount of resources. 

 

Socialism is the best system in a world with infinite resources.

Capitalism is the best system in a world based on finite resources.

Capitalism makes people become a net positive for society  socialism makes people do nothing.

Where to begin?  Here's a thought:  Eugene Robinson, despite his Pulitzer and his sydicated columnist, gets put at the back of the line when it comes to treating whatever diseases he'll suffer from as he ages.  If he dies painfully and far earlier then he would have with proper medical care, then the Collective will thank him and then forget him.

This is what's bothering me--wanting to keep your wages so you can spend them on your own medical treatment (or an airplane, if you have modest medical needs) is evil and greedy and immoral, but demanding a bureaucrat confiscate someone else's wages to fund your medical treatments is just being a good person.  That's so f-ed up.  I don't know how we devolved.

You are forgetting one other group - the young. In order for Obamacare to "work", private insurance companies are going to need a big ol' pool of customers who pay for the service but do not receive any care. That is the young. That is why you have fines for people who do not purchase insurance - to coerce the young into buying a product they do not really need.

Hear, hear!  And its time to tell the AMA your monopoly on medical school education will be ended today unless you revise your model. The model is based on the needs of medical system of the 19th century. In other words, no more artificial limits on the applicants, no more artifical limits on the number of schools and no more indentured servitued of your recent graduates.

Drew; just one comment on that. Yes; it can be done but only for a short while. If the government does a complete takeover, which is what they are after, they can "give" health care at current levels to everyone.

They can do that by "eating" the system literally. Cut doctor's salaries by 75%, cut hospital charges by 75% etc.  They can "save" money in that fashion. The problem is the long and short term consequences.

Hospitals will go bankrupt and close. Doctors will pull in their shingles and go back to school to become parasitic lawyers so they too can feed of society's carcass as it collapses.

74 One thing that I noted this weekend when the thread talked about the COLA built into the "penalty" in the Senate bill.

They will adjust the penalty upwards for inflation (which we will soon have lots of) but they are NOT going to adjust the definition of the "Cadillac plan" which will be taxed at high rates.

Also, Karl Rove was on Fox earlier showing CBO estimates of impacts on private plans if this bill passes. According to CBP the average plant will increase in cost dramatically, thus placing the average plan in the "Cadillac" region right off the bat.

This is nothing more than AMT all over again. The communists will do ANYTHING in their power to increase taxes.

Aside from the fact that the problems of our current health care system are totally ignored by this boondoggle of a bill (i.e. tort reform, lack of interstate competition, pre-existing condition denial), how can anyone possibly put a dollar value on a life? What if the cure for cancer is discovered in part by a cancer survivor? If they hadn't been treated, the cure never would've been found.

Maybe it's just me, but in hypothetical scenarios and in real ones, I'll err on the side of optimism and the potential for good in my fellow man every time.

We should do everything we can to treat and cure disease because we never know how many good things could come out of it.

Oh they do plan to address those problems......after the government takes over completely.

First tort will be reformed completely. There will be no tort. You will not be able to sue government doctors. Second all health care will be a government monopoly therefore no need for competition or "profit".

And pre-existing conditions such as smoking, obesity, lack of exercise will be eliminated by government mandate.

Exactly. Why, because if you eliminate pre-existing conditions and you are required to cover everybody for everythingat a reasonable price, you can't stay in business.  But, since you can't raise your premiums to a point that it would cover your expensive treatment, the insurance company has to find someone else who will cover it. That someone else is the young who have much fewer medical care issues and are generally healthier. Thus, they also have less claims and less needs for money to be paid out by the insurance companies.

So, much like our current national debt, we have decided that the best way to have health care is to have our children pay for it.

In one generation we have gone from parents who saved the world for their children by fighting World War II to a generation of parents who are screwing the world for their kids because they do not understand the simple concept that you can not always have everything you want right now. We should be ashamed.

A valid point. I suppose it is a good idea to teach the young that actions have consequences. Vote for an idiot, don't cry when it bites you in the ass. I am, however, slightly more concerned with the generation following this current lot, those kids now 8-17 for whom we are not only leaving a tremendous national debt they will be forced to pay off, but also now seem hell bent on leaving them the burden of providing all the medical care in the world to everyone but themselves.

People do it every day.  When you go car shopping, you can choose optional safety features if you think the extra money is worth it.  When the vet says "the surgery is $7k, ending his suffering is $250" people decide.  At the end of my grandmother's life, my grandfather paid cash for life-extending treatments Medicare wouldn't cover; other people pre-decide they'd rather leave their savings to their children than spend it on their own life and prepare legal documents before they get sick.  Other people leave their kids to freeze to death in the car while they drink to save $20 on babysitting.

92 I'm still a little shocked by all this.

When the GOP-controlled Congress wanted to just CUT THE GROWTH of Medicare spending in order to balance the budget in the mid-1990s, the Democrats and the MSM went absolutely berserk with "Mediscare" tactics aimed at convincing elderly Americans that the Republicans wanted to see grandma and grandpa die in the streets.

Now, less than 15 years later, the Democrats are OVERTLY GUTTING Medicare by literally hundreds of billions of dollars. Polls clearly show that most of the public is against this attempt at "reform." And yet the response from the elitists has been: slavish support in the MSM, an endorsement from the AARP (!), and a Democrat and MSM-created meme that opponents of "reform" (i.e., conservatives and Republicans) are racists who want poor people to die, are in the pockets of the e-e-e-evil insurance companies, and are spreading lies in order to damage the President because they are a hate-filled right-wing fringe of militia lunatics.

This is the message that the Democrats and their allies in the MSM are spreading through the mass media. It is nothing but leftist agitprop. An editor at the old Pravda would blush. And yet here we are, in the United States of America in 2009.

I weep for the future.

Doubtful. Yes, the plan says that to finance Obamacare that Congress is going to cut 500 billion from medicare. But, those cuts are not automatic if Obamacare becomes law. Instead, it will be up to Congress to impose the cuts next year. Will they - hmmm, 2010 is an off-election year, the senior vote has a more significant impact in off-election years and medicare cuts are an issue that will drive seniors to the polls. 

This is why the CBO scores are an utter, complete joke. CBO is required to assume the cuts are made. But, it is left to our spineless, gutless Congress to actually make them. And, they won't. Which is why the CBO scores are laughable.

However, I have always had this theory, and I guess I will have to wait until 2012 to see if it holds true, that the 2008 youth Obama vote was more of a fad than a truly transcending political event. I think some (certainly not all) of the youth vote for Obama was driven by the desire to hang with and be around the "cool" kids. "Everyone is going to the Obama rally, so lets go bro, maybe we can pick up some chicks" type mentality. In otherwords, Obama was the "New Wave Punk"/"Grunge"/Disco candidate of our times. Clearly, there was a significant segment that bought into Obamamania and believed it. But, I also think that atleast 50% of trend followers who wanted to get in on the "big event". Clearly, the youth vote didn't show up in New Jersey or Virginia, so we have to wait and see.

For all 27 years I've been in practice I've watched insurance companies scream about the high cost of health care, while raising their premiums to record double digit increases in profitability (annually for each of the last 27 years) and using some of the excess to buy your congressman and keep their territory market restrictions. Out of the other side of their mouths they're simultaneously reducing benefits across the board and increasing deductables. They've never lost a dime yet but they're supposed to be in the "risk" arena. There's NO risk involved in the way they do business. Seriously, *IF* any socialist Democrat ACTUALLY wanted to help the public (they don't) all they'd have to do is apply some of their "cap and trade" rules to the insurance industry and their greedy corporations. The actual reason for the current wave of "health care reform mania" is based on a Congress that has been paid off for 27 years by the insurance and trial lawyers associations. Well now Congress is getting greedy and want's the WHOLE pie to control instead of their annual pieces.

When Americans want to lower Health Care Costs, they'll have to address the insurance industry restrictions (open up interstate competition) and trial lawyers through tort reform (to lower litigation costs and prevent doctors from needing to practice "defensive medicine"). Until those two issues are addressed.....HC costs are going to continue to rise and insurance companies and trial lawyers are going to continue to point their fingers at otherwise innocent doctors.

Yet neither that or tort reform, another huge cost reduction measure, is on the table.

Tort reform is not going to have the impact many think it will. While it is important, it does not at all measure up to the largest issue you equated it to, that of competition.  Second to competition, is simply the way we as a country view health insurance.   Additionally, we need to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid.  These are effectively price controls, yet neither republicans or democrats or most anyone will admit to this. Tort reform would be a distant fourth in terms of cost savings.

There are some things I don’t think a lot of people realize.  Due to the wage controls set during WW2, employer’s had to find a new way to compete for the best and brightest workers. One of these ways was to offer benefits, namely health benefits. Prior to this, very few employers offered any sort of health benefits. The IRS ruled in 1943 that employees would not have pay tax on health insurance premiums paid by employers. This has had a devastating effect, and while the ruling seemed mundane at the time, it has shaped our entire system.  Think about this for a second. When you got to the doctor, you are not the customer. Why, because your insurance pays the doctor, not you. But in relation to the insurance company, you are not the customer either. The company you work for is because on paper and in the short run, due to tax legislation, it is cheaper for your employer to provide it for you. So basically, you have a whole society of people that don’t shop for their doctors or their health insurance that pays the doctors.   Simply put, a change in tax law could drastically alter the system over the long run.

A second very large problem is the fact that we as Americans are simply over insured. Think about this in relation to car insurance. Beside the notable fact that we as a society actually have incentives to shop for car insurance, we don’t have our auto insurance pay for things like preventative maintenance and gas. Do you think gas and oil changes would be more or less expensive if you had your auto insurance company mange the cost for you? But for health insurance we do. Insurance is for unexpected events, not to cover things like doctor checkups, flu shots, and teeth cleanings which are known when to be needed in advance.   This is a change that needs to be realized on the consumer end.

112 $48 billion was paid out last year in fraudulent Medicare claims, paid to fictional persons and companies. This money was dutifully paid out to whomever was on the letterhead by fat asses in swivel chairs in DC. After it was paid, the fraud was halfheartedly investigated, followed by arrests of the most stupid of the perps. If money savings were the objective, they might want to put the investigative aspects of Medicare payments upstream of the Accounts Payable, not afterward.

Actually, loosing could well be correct as "loose" can be a verb meaning to set free or unbind, as in, "I am loosing the hounds !"

Hence, if one now has insurance, one may be loosing the wrath of Democrats because one deigns not submit to their control, indeed, for daring to be insured one will almost certainly be causing to be loosed a torrent of stupid laws and regulations.

144 So, if Obama's point is that some need to die because it costs to much to give them care, why is he expanding healthcare to those who will die without it?  Why not just leave things alone, since expanding access will increase cost?

The Democrat answer to some being able to get what they need is for all to get far less.

Reducing utilization is the ONLY way to cut costs, and anyone suggesting otherwise is a damned liar.

147 Second, Robinson's honesty contradicts something Obama has been using as a selling point for over a year, namely that testing and early diagnosis of diseases would save money.

And, I believe he said all decisions would be between you and your doctor.

148 I mean, besides more control over your life.

You don't mean the government might try to tell you what you can eat, drink or smoke since they are footing the bill for your insurance, do you?  That just doesn't sound like something they would do.

149 You have to admit, those baby boomers entering their Medicare years are not a very diverse bunch.  First of all, they are all old.  They are mostly white.  They tend to poll poorly for the current crop of Democrats.

Time to put a lid on them.  A "cap," if you will.  Diversity is our strength and this group of old folks only weakens us.

This argument works equally well for tax payer funded abortions, euthanizing the disabled and taxing the middle class.  But, somehow, it does not work for deporting illegals, reducing welfare benefits or ending affirmative action.
