way they'll ever regain any control of medical records, which have become scattered worldwide, and are now basically under no control at all.
I think a big factor in healthcare reform is going to be to bring healthcare back to the US. Why should we have to send busloads of people to Mexico or Canada to buy the drugs they need at affordable prices? Because the HMOs here won't pay for them, and the greedy drug companies charge far more for them than they're worth. That all needs to be stopped, as well.
US nurses & doctors should be required to have degrees from US colleges, not cheapo ones in the Philippines.
Nurses are vastly underpaid for what they have to know, and how hard they work. Most doctors are OVERpaid. And of course, when you go higher, to the pencil-pushers, brown-nosers, crooks, and other suits sitting in their plush penthouse corner suites, all of them are OBSCENELY overpaid. More money needs to be reaching the lower levels, and the best way to get it is to start siphoning some of it off of the higher levels. Most of those people aren't worth what they make, and they have had a large hand in ruining American medical care.
If Indian companies, or those in India with American fronts can drive US workers out of the MT industry with their ridiculous pay per line, it seems to me that can be stopped by taxing that practice right out of existence. It should be made more cost-effective for hospitals to have Americans typing their work than foreigners, and the only way to do that it to make it ridiculously difficult (lots o' hoops to jump through) and expensive to offshore it. Making it impossible to offshore, by simply outlawing American personal info. to be processed over there, would be even better. The indians have really gummed up the works of the US healthcare industry. But I'm sure with a little time, and a lot of imagination, it would be quite possible (and, might I say... FUN?) to gum up their MT industry. Kharma.
