"Sorry Nellie,
There was no reply button after your post, so I had to reply to my post.
It would be a fine day indeed to embody this panel. Intelligent experts, analysis and a dash of common sense! That's the right prescription.

I had a chance to work in WHO work shops with experts from different countries. I can imagine the day, when someone caring and not involved in politics will bring a multidisciplinary panel, which will be an alternative to
the way things…"
John J Caprice replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Hey Nellie,
The complexity of this Health Economy is indeed beyond the scope of three minds.
But it sure is fun! Especially when we now focus on the "Medical Industrial Complex" as opposed to those bad guys from the 60's the…"
Nellie Makarova-Cross replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Hi David and John,
It becomes clear why three of us are still involved in a Health Care discussion. I am a neonatologistby eduaction, who worked in research for years and was a member of WHO workshops on perinatal care and prevention of diseases of…"

John J Caprice replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Hey David!
OOOH! I hated writing essays!
The most interesting part of this discussion is....that we agree on all the essential aspects of providing health care to all. The people of the United States are non-partisan. Yep! Believe it or not, A…"
david humbarger replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Dear Nellie and John
Thanks again for keeping this discussion going! Everytime I read your replies it gets me thinking, often times about something I hadn't considered before. And no doubt you both have other work to do but still take time to…"
John J Caprice replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Hi David nad Nellie,
Well, that 47 million number that is frequently touted, is not that accurate. It is an estimate based on the last census. The test sample question was analyized and extrapolated to the entire population. Hnece 47 million out of…"
Nellie Makarova-Cross replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Hi, David, the problem is identified , but solution isn't. Bankruptcy does not equal a very bad thing, it is a good solution to a very bad situation. The bankruptcy does not equal the denial of health care
If people could use an insurance…"
david humbarger replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"After looking a bit more at those medical bankruptcy numbers, it is now up to 60% and over 70% of those that went bankrupt because of medical bills had insurance. So if we have a look again at the WHO numbers from 2001, it seems safe to say that…"
david humbarger replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Hi John,
Assuming that over 47 American citizens are uninsured is it still a biased question to imply that citizens are indeed not getting healthcare? When the govt gives the health care industry free reign to do what they want, many unfortuante…"
Nellie Makarova-Cross replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Good morning, John.
Here we are, you made a statement that "We can provide better health care at a lower overall cost and make that healthcare available to all its peoples and citizens." I wish you would be right. Where did you get that…"
John J Caprice replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Dear David,
I would like to comment on two of the facts about US Healthcare.
FACT: The US spends more on healthcare per capita than any other Country. TRUE! We spend more money per capita on HealthCare, Welfare, Food Stamps, Public Housing and The…"
Nellie Makarova-Cross replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Dear John,
I remember that English were setting the limits on prices, when companies went too far. It is a capitalism Ltd.so to say. What you are describing in the field of pharmacology should have
been corrected by a market system?
Was your…"
Nellie Makarova-Cross replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"My vote is with you. I hope my taxes will not go up too much!"
Nellie Makarova-Cross replied to david humbarger's discussion health care"Hi, David! Is Switzerland a socialist country?
Do you have problems with the waiting list? Do you know if Germans have a waiting list?
Do you have several levels of care? Do you have systems within a system ?
And, what applied systems do you study…"

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
