Healthcare and the Republican National Convention
This week I hail from Minneapolis and St. Paul as the Republicans work out many policies including healthcare policies at the Republican National Convention. At www.JohnMcCain.com outlines his plans for healthcare. He appreciates the companies that offer employee health benefits. His plan will tax the benefit to the reicpients, and off set it another way. For employers who do not offer employee Health benefits, they may face a tax. McCain wants to encourage businesses to offer employee health insurance.
Throughout the convention are discussion of healthcare, at www.gop.org. It is the number one concern of voters, and the ecomony is second.
On the otherside, Obama’s plan for the Democrats is to provide health insurance for everyone, www.obama.com. The tax payers will pay for it. The Republicans oppose this plan because of its enormous expense. The government has its hand full regulating Medicare, and it is not easy for doctors or patients.
It will be difficult to administer health insurance for everyone according to Care Management at www.Healthsolutions.com. Various illnesses such as kidney disease that requires dialysis will be costly compared to fevers and colds of younger patients. There is no provision for catastrophic care. There are no easy solutions for healthcare.

I was thinking of getting some plastic surgery done, particularly my nose, but I have several friends and members to my social clubs that work within the hospital I would want to go to. Would there be a way I could have this surgery done and them not know about it, and if they did would they be able to say anything to anyone?

CPR is the regional choice for my practice of 4 practioners, but I do wonder other doctors consider it to be the best out there. What do you think?

I work for a very busy doctor’s office in OH. We use the Dr. Notes program, and if you’re thinking of switching to to somewhere other than this program. Although the program itself isn’t horrible the service, technitions, and everyone else involved are. There have been a few glitches in the program from time to time in the many years I have worked here, but when I call to get customer service to technical assistance I’m placed on hold for up to an hour, then when I do get a live human being on the phone they are rude, and do not know how to fix the problem. There only response is, “we’ll send a technition to your office.” When the technition gets here, they seem to do more damage to the machine than assist, then they charge for it. The program is cumbersome, large, difficult to navigate, and overly expensive and the company has the nerve to charge for repairing their piece of junk. If you’re thinking of going the way of Dr. Notes might I suggest a slate board and chalk first.
