weight loss and the Healthcare reform bill

Good morning.....okay Redskin fans..i have a prediction...I think they are going to upset the Falcons today!!!

I saw this morning that the House passed the Healthcare reform bill....I have not read in depth much of what it contains...what I do know is that 1- It does not include anything about tort reform, so have a nice Sunday brunch Trial Lawyers of America...you can still go after Doctors, hospitals etc cart blanche without any worries about having to pay the defendants legal bills in the event you lose. Americans should feel safe knowing that their physicians and ERs will continue to order every test known to mankind to ensure their charts are "buffed" in the event one of these lawyers comes after them. Lets add billions of dollars of costs because of this issue that is not even an afterthought in the Healthcare "Reform" act. 2- Hey, if America's largest health concern is obesity and the co-morbidities asssociated with it, then how about the governmnet establish weight loss centers thruout the United States? How much money would be saved by people NOT developing diabetes, multiple cancers, heart disease etc? We continue as a nation to focus on the treatment of disease states and not the prevention. 3- Not sure anything was addressed about the hemmorhaging of primary care physicians because of the horrendous discrepancy of compensation between specialists and their revenue. What happens when there are far too few doctors available to treat the frontline problems?


Anyway, you, my patients, should know that Posner will still be around for a pretty long time to address your weight loss and/or medical needs. Regardless of what the politicians and their lobbying comrades come up with!
