Cost transference. Basic care providers. Facility costs. Primary care. Access. Policies. Medicaid. Medicare. Budget. Federal expenditures. State grants. Rights. Patient care. Standards. Procedural. Elective. Preventative. Long term. Equal access. Criteria. Technologies. Specialized care.
The number one concern in the medical industry isn't any of these factors. The number one concern is something that is never discussed. It is the hidden agenda. It is the reason that things stay the same and seldom change in the ultimate decision making process. The reason that the problem with medical care costs that result in coverage inadequacies and voids in coverage continues.
The priorities that govern medical care are the same as any corporate venture, with exceptions, but those exceptions don't sway the consensus of political and corporate powers in Washington, or Wall Street.
And then there was Global Economics.
Ultimate economic reasoning verses the publics need for medical care at reasonable costs and provider ship for the poor and disadvantaged.
Could costs be managed better? What was the reason for higher and higher costs in the system, looking at the overall perspective? A lot to consider. But yet, if there is a problem, there is a reason for the problem. If you find the reason for the problem then you might be able to find an answer to the problem. A solution to fixing the problem. But when the controlling interests don't want the answer to the problem found and don't want the problem fixed, there is a reason. There has to be a reason.
Going through all of those variables but still not coming up with an answer as to the reason for the problem that caused so many other problems. And then it became obvious for a reason to me. The problem is in the manipulation of the cash flow at the highest financial levels of investments and politics. This control over things that most people are never aware of causes decisions to be made by investors, financiers, and politicians in the government. They want the money in the system to stay at a certain level or go higher. That means that they don't care about the high cost of basic care, in fact they want it to be high. The money that starts out at the doctors winds up in a river of cash flow somewhere out there in financial land. And controlling that money reserve is the most important thing to them, not medical care for the patients. Not community care for towns and counties. Not adequate care for the poor. Not considerations for the terminally ill and those in need of long term or specialized care. But with care some people could vastly improve their lives. Some could survive illnesses that would otherwise kill.
Money flow cannot be the dictator of policy in industry or in politics anymore. We have to incorporate the practice of reducing the costs of basic care so the system doesn't collapse from its own weight. Savings in basic care means everyone gets a fair shot at quality care and the overall system is affordable. More people can be treated for illnesses that are expensive to diagnose and treat. And regardless of costs, those considerations of care should be made by the doctor and specialists.
The billions saved on basic and primary medical would allow the costs to treat those not covered and help those with partial coverage. Regardless of the Global Economic reasoning that has affected the judgement of Washington politicians.
