The medical/insurance industries are completely broken and non-functional in their current state of affairs. Wait times for procedures and appointments are completely out of control, the cost of insurance continues to skyrocket every year (when was the last time you saw a decrease in premiums?). When you do have a claim, the insurance carrier will work around the clock with skilled employees to try and deny any part of it they can. Meanwhile, we push back in the little time we have on a daily basis hoping to get through to the right person. If you find a medication that works, insurance will find a way for you to jump through 100 hoops before you can take it and then you'll still pay an enormous amount out of of pocket. Doctors cannot do their job anymore because insurance dictates how they treat patients. I could go on and on and I'm sure 100% of my friends on FB understand my frustration because you've experienced it as well.

I read where the average doctor treats 2,500 patients a year. Possibly up to 3,000. If 100 people or families could pay $10,000 per year into a co-operative, they could afford a private doctor. That's $1,000,000 a year to pay a doctor, a nurse, an office assistant, etc. . The doctor's life would be much better, they could treat patients however they wanted, and the flexibility of scheduling would be so much better. This would cover all routine visits, physicals, etc. If you needed specialty care, like a heart doctor, for example, then they have their own co-operative you pay into at that point. I'm guessing, but we might be better off financially and certainly happier from a patient service standpoint. If you're self employed, the average cost of premiums is over $1,500 per month and you're paying that whether you use it or not. Average out of pocket for most plans is around $19,000 per year for a family. That's affordable for most families? Why not implement these type of co-operatives combined with a plan for catastrophic coverage for surgeries, etc. You know why it will never happen, because it makes too much sense. The insurance industry would rather systematically drain individuals of their wealth for services not used or not pay for services they should be paying.

I used to prepare tax returns for a living and saw what doctors made....it's not as much as most people think. This type of plan would have doctors making more money and they could provide care like they want to instead of how insurance demands. Drive through a big city and look at the skyscrapers with an insurance company at the top.... that's where our excess dollars are going.....tons of overhead and bonuses for high-level executives.

Obviously, there are some holes that would need to be filled in the plan I mentioned above, but a plan hatched out of the is concept makes a ton of sense to me. Maybe I'm just a dreamer with small-town ideas, but man, something seems really broken.

Rant over.....
