New innovative centers that change the way physician and consumer think about healthcare

The senate and house bill passed on party line politics, making this an historical event in healthcare reform not as a nation but a party line victory. For over four decades previous Presidents have tried to make this change and not until this year has this been accomplished. So why are we a divided nation on this issue? Should we not be rejoicing this historic event? Or has this old party line politics become such a standard in how this nation decide any major issue, we are immune to feeling anything regardless of the outcome. Maybe if term limits existed it would make a big difference.

We as a nation are deciding our future based on the old party line politics and no longer with the idea of America first, party second. So as a nation we currently decide issues by the party first and America second. This is clearly demonstrated in the vote by the Senate on Christmas (60-39). So a bitter sweet victory for America and a joyful celebration for the Democrats Senators who voted for the healthcare reform bill.

Now that we know the structure and provisions of the two bills, the process has begun to consolidate the two bills into one. So in this process let’s highlight the key points;

1 Mandate Healthcare for all America
2 Expansion of Medicaid benefits
3 No pre-existing medical conditions
4 No public option
5Government subsidies for premium to insurance companies
6 New taxation and penalties for individual and businesses

I could spend my time in writing and giving detail information, but the fact remains a bill will pass and the latter will prevail. The sad thing is not all American will get the coverage. So what about the working middle class who does not qualify for Medicaid. The small employer who does not offer insurance will now be mandated to do so without a choice

So its time to offer a choice since we understand after its all said and done approximately 17 million working middleclass American will not qualify for Medicaid, or Medicare and be left without help.

The 47MR Community Healthcare Resource Center provides access to healthcare. These centers specialize in treating primary care services, prevention, and wellness. What makes this center unique is that the model changes the perspective of the physician in how he looks at his patient. The physician is paid up front annually for his services, so the focus is in getting his patient healthier. The other difference is the center specializes in treating its own members apart from the government run programs. The major factor is there no claims, therefore no expense for administrative claims processing, and collections.

In summary, we must start viewing ourselves differently and voting as Americans first, hold our Congress accountable and limiting their term in office, and provide new innovative centers that change the way physician, and consumer think about the access and distribution of healthcare.
