Misunderstanding in the Health-Care Debate

" How much should be at -- bailout fatigue and an administration is trying to do too much too quickly as opposed to. Addressing the real concern which is that there are up words depending on the figures you see upwards of fifty million people who need health insurance. "

" Right I I think that there's a general feeling on the public that they don't really want the federal government running health care. But the system has been out of control from inflationary point of view for many years. So I do think that the time for changes now unfortunately the dialogue is really lax -- clarity out there. There's a lot of confusion then and -- misinformation. Out there. And this is interest thing in regard to about fifteen years ago in the first Clinton administration. When he tried as President Clinton tried to reform health care. Today were a viral environmental and that's why a lot of the information is instantaneously. Available to a broader reach of people and of course some of that information is either untrue or misleading."

" But Michael how does this administration. Take the issue back clarify. For the people who don't understand where we stand for example. I brought up the co op option we had senator Kent Conrad on this is the first person talk about it he joined us here. About two to three months ago. People with countries still don't understand a co op option and that seems as though that's the direction we might be going into the uninsured."

" I think that's very true I think there's a lot of confusion people don't understand the co op option. And what real public health was about. Lot of people have the misnomer that this look like socialized system that exists in England. -- Canada I think the way the administration takes this that it's a really break it down at the very simple terms that the American consumer and patient can understand. And that means to clarify the information out there that is erroneous or misleading. And to basically talk about the benefits the American public as the administration sees them."

" Doctor are you getting phone calls about this and if so what are you telling your patients."

" Well we're really dealt with when we specializing conditions that are poorly treated and insurance model because unfortunately almost everything now. Chronic conditions Chronic Fatigue Syndrome fibromyalgia. Thyroid disorders the doctors doing a simple thyroid test he is sacred and missing 80% of people afloat by right. Because they don't want to spend the point to thirty minutes to do an adequate exam. So people are depressed and can't lose weight and are told that they need antidepressants or have a character disorder as a simple thyroid disorder. So were both basically you can really increase the quality of care the average the office visit this for years ago with sixteen minutes. Those less than six minutes. So would go back if you're not working for an insurance company organ for the patient you're just try -- that you're doing it he can get the patient better. You're not a provider anymore for the insurance company your doctor for your patience. Bill and so patients who -- patients realize that. And it's a much better system."

" Bill let me give you the last word on this we're we go from here how we clarify what's been happening now an old leased town hall meetings and will we actually see and bill. --"

" You got me on the bill part about I I couldn't tell you one of the things about you asked about clarity. Because back to the president himself when he's asked -- question and a town hall meeting he can't tap dance around it he's got to give a straight answer. And I think one of the reasons for the for a great deal of the of the confusion that's going on is that a lot of people feel they haven't gotten one --"

" All right general we believe that there you know Michael and -- doctor holds more thank you so much as I appreciate it. We also want to reach of the emails could be getting a lot of emails from you Robert. Each of the government controlled health care option is very important to me. No bill should be passed that contained any government control over any portion of this sector of the economy. And Armani in Pompano Beach, Florida -- health -- need to universal guideline nationally. But this special interest not public oriented his FISA bleak impossible for America to sustain no matter how much -- in congress puts on -- tax dollars we'll have to subsidize it. We appreciate your emails and sending them to a -- money for breakfast at fox -- dot com we'll bring them online we'll continue to talk about a very important topic come."
