The irrational dysfunctional healthcare ordtak

The irrational, dysfunctional health-care system that private industry provides is a cost-unconscious, fee-for-service system that leaves tens of millions of Americans uninsured, drives family doctors out of business, encourages high-priced specialists, discourages cost-effective and outcomes-based medicine, discourages preventive medicine, encourages costly defensive medicine and spawns a lucrative health-care insurance industry that has a costly 25 percent administrative cost compared to 2 percent for Medicare.

Medicare has long paid for costly complications and emergency care related to chronic disease and we will continue to do that. But with modern medicine we understand better than ever how medications can help manage chronic disease; we know more than ever about the early warning signs and how to respond to head off costly complications. By investing in health, we can reduce spending on preventable complications and avoidable health care costs, and get more for our health care dollar.

The health care system is moving to a privately-owned 'Single Payer' system where patients will have fewer choices, less leverage and higher costs. The number of the uninsured will surely increase has the insurers' control increases. If we are going to have a Single Payer system, why not let the government pay a lot less for better care instead of turning the health care system over to private insurers that take 20 percent for overhead and profit.

We helped 160,000 Americans leave the ranks of the uninsured. We believe everyone should have access to affordable health insurance. This does nothing to accomplish that. These bills fail to address health care issues. They cost jobs.

Community pharmacy has worked with state Medicaid programs to help implement cost savings and provide quality health care -- helping save tens of millions of dollars for states and the Federal Government, ... Community pharmacy has been particularly successful in increasing the use of lower-cost generic medications. That is why we strongly believe that a critical ingredient in achieving Medicaid savings is the establishment of a new system that encourages generic drug dispensing to Medicaid recipients. We can help Congress achieve Medicaid savings if they will partner with community pharmacy instead of making ill-advised budget cuts that will jeopardize patient access.

Individuals who cannot afford health insurance coverage can still have access to appropriate care provided by free health clinics. We are pleased to be able to fund better access to healthcare for the uninsured and underinsured and to help limit one of the cost drivers of premiums for the insured -- that is the use of hospitals for non-emergency care by the uninsured.

Our self-pay as a percentage of our overall business isn't that high, from a relative standpoint, ... But it's still 5 or 6 percent of our business. And if you're one of those 5 or 6 percent, it's still a big issue to you paying for your health care cost.

has been a longtime champion of Medicare modernization, and of providing seniors with access to preventive medicine and the new drugs that are transforming health care in this country. I saw this commitment firsthand in my work on the 2003 Medicare reform bill.

My concern is a single concern - can we keep a safety net under patients so they don't end up in a health crisis just because they cannot get medicine or care? I don't think the system is meeting the needs of the uninsured right now. It's overwhelmed.

Dr. Carol Currier

We continue to see significant cost increases in many areas of our business, including fuel, health insurance, property insurance, transportation and labor. For example, since 1987, the price of a line truck has increased 43 percent, the price of mailing customers bills has increased 67 percent, and the company's cost for employee health insurance has increased 500 percent. In addition, Duquesne Light is in the midst of a significant capital investment program, which is taking place throughout our service territory. It is designed to replace older, outdated and inefficient equipment and to ensure that the region will be able to support new business growth and other forms of economic development by meeting the changing and expanding energy demands of the new century.

Cigarette smoking has an enormous negative impact on people's health, and it drives up the cost of health insurance and health care for all of us,

George Pataki (1945-)

American industry spends a lot of time on cost accounting, and they do so because it gives them so much more control. But the health system rewards inefficiency. It's not a competitive system where the supplier names the price -- as a doctor, you can't determine the price, Medicare quotes it for you.... The Commodore 64 is the computer that attracts demo programming. When the one saying it is as big a gorilla as Medicare, you say, 'I'll take it.'

Regina Herzlinger

The cost of purchasing health insurance and providing health insurance and that's related to the increased cost of health care.

What we are trying to achieve is to identify those hospitals that perform well under adverse conditions, such as managed care, as opposed to those that perform well under the old system of cost-plus, or Medicare. We look at the quality of care for patients, and their efficiency in adapting to the health care environment.
