Here is a ‘wild’ idea… just an idea. Use it, don’t use…

Almost every day we (mwoa included) hear how medial aids are screwing us left right and… you know where else. They might call it ‘service’ or whatever citing that they also must ‘cover’ their expenses. I’ll admit, this is not a ‘simple’ matter because if it was someone would have solved it long ago…

Now, what if (and it is a big ‘if’) the government declares some basic medical procedures ‘free’. The most common ones that are really necessary for the general public. I’m not talking about cosmetic things like making you look and feel better but rather the things that will benefit the public or is life threatening.

Now I know some people will go.. ‘but you can go to a state hospital and get some things ‘free’ anyway’… The idea I have here is that you don’t need to have a medical aid at all for basic stuff like colds, flues,  measles, fevers, toothaches, strokes, heart attacks and also all childhood illnesses. Lets be honest, even the medial aids hate those things as well – just more paperwork for what? The problem with the current set up for free ‘procedures’ are they are provided by people that are not terribly motivated to do so – and working in bad conditions in state hospitals. No doctor or nurse that has a (working) self esteem wants to be there – not to mention the bad pay. And that is perhaps (one of) the root of the problem.

The flip side is because the government would be paying for these things it would be in ‘their’ interest too to have ‘healthy’ people. Ban smoking, oily fast foods (hehe oops sorry McDonalds..), pollution (which also makes people sick), stressful activities like traffic jams (not sure how ya gona solve that one) etc. There, that should make everyone (except you know who…) happy…
