Are lawmakers medical illiterates?

The recently enancted health care law was not reviewed by the congressmen who passed it nor by the citizens at large.

A report in the news stated that congress is fairly unknowlegeable about Medical Care. They depend on their staff assistants to modify and implement the law which they aggree is unworkable to make it work.

Since this is a major change in our personal health care, including it's confidentiality, this seems like a poor way of improving our health care in this country.

When the uninformed and medically illiterate attempt to improved health care, it will always be catastrophic.

The only solution is to vote all present incumbents out of office.

Elect a major constitutional and conservative majority to impeach the president and reverse all billls that he signed and resume health care reform.

Health care reform must include eliminating the socialistic HMO bureaucracy which the public misinterprets as free enterprise.

In free enterprise doctors would have the opportunity to compete with the doctor down the street both in fee and quality.

Under the HMO socialistic setup, the worst doctors get the same payment as the best, the very antithesis of a free market situation.

Under free enterprise, the best and most efficient doctors would compete not only on price, but also on quality of care.

It's ime to throw out all government programs such as managed care and allow competition to reduce health care costs. Competition or the free market is the most ruthless way to decrease the cost of health care. Everyone benefits--except maybe the HMOs.

The only way to do this is vote all incumbents out of officie in November.

As per my opinion everyone knows what they are doing but it is different matter that some people are doing some things intensionally. I have just gone through your whole post and came to know that you have portrayed the picture of law makers. I am not agree with you at this point that they are medical illiterates because we can not know the deep information about anything from just outer world.
