I hope the next president has the experience needed and knowledge, and willingness to think outside the box.

Until we stop being a society that demands something for nothing, it does not matter who is in Washington.

Just what if all the money we pay to insurance companies went directly to doctors, nurses, hospitals, clinics, and preventative health programs instead. What if doctors and hospitals and even patients were given credit for preventative programs, e.g. exercise/wt. loss, smoking cessation, healthy eating/lifestyle instruction? :scratch:

They actually do give bonuses to docs in England who get their patients off cigarettes and meet health goals. West Virginia is using a carrot and stick approach to reward medicaid patients who stay out of ERs, keep PCP appts, etc. Just understand that big pharma and insurance have incredible lobbying machines, and frankly the lobbyists and politicos are often times one and the same. You will find numerous family members of Congresspeople lobbying Congress, and lobbying firms are all too happy to add ex-politicians to their payroll. It is sick.:angry:

You realize that the law outlawing such would be unconstitutional, right?

No it isn't. All kinds of big companies have policies forbidding family members to work in the same place and/ or benefit in a financial way by direct influence of a family member at the same workplace. It's called conflict of interest and fraternizing. I worked at Vanderbilt hospital for 17 years and every year we were required to fill out a form asking if any of our family members also worked there and if so where and in what capacity. They have a huge law school there. Well , who knows, maybe you're right, and Vanderbilt was wrong. It really wouldn't surprise me too much.
Is this even what you're referring to as 'unconstitutional'
