SO your solution to Americans' obesity, defensive medicine, large bureaucracies in medicine and government is to force companies to cut advertising? Seriously?It's gotten pretty damn obvious why there is a constant rise in healthcare costs. The healthcare industry's bureaucracy rivals the US government, Americans can't take care of themselves and are fat and prone to disease, the insured are paying for the uninsured healthcare treatment via high healthcare costs passed on through higher insurance premiums, defensive medicine is over used thus adding to the tab, the list goes on and on.
The bottomline,,,the well is running dry. Economist know this and have warned us about this.
So where should the monies come from for medical advancement? I don't know, maybe healthcare companies can spend more on R & D and less on their thousands of advertisements. I've read where companies spend more on marketing than they do for R & D!
Here you are assuming what you think I assume. Who do you think you are,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,? Carnac?![]()
OMG! You really have issues with reading comprehension, don't you? I bet if you opened your mind up some, you're reading comprehension issue would go away.![]()
:Let's see: You identify (correctly) large bureaucracy, obesity, third party payer system and medical malpractice as driving rising costs. The only solution I see in your post is reducing advertising and spending it on R&D. So I asked the logical question. Either you aren't explaining yourself terribly well or you just dont grasp the problem or dont have any solution. Which is it?
