re: #685 The Sanity Inspector

Well then address James’s point directly. I said you can’t just squeeze the hospital or end provider and tell them they can’t charge above a certain number, because they’ll all fail before there is a change in the system. Yeah it sounds good to “control costs” when all you are doing is putting an artificial price ceiling that doesn’t address why the costs are high. All it does it pass the buck to the hospital or doctor to find ways to cut back. That’s ridiculous. Everyone should have to take some of the hit. Too much strain on one link in the healthcare chain and it will just break. That’s what I was referring too. You can’t just choke it off at one point and expect that to even fix the problem, when it will probably make it worse.
