CYA HEALTH CARE Unions Strike around the country about health insurance premiums and for the first time in several decades we may have nationwide labor unrest. The supposed issue is health insurance. The real issue should be questions over the reasons health care costs gone through the roof; costs are the cause of sky hig health care premiums. Don't look for government to even think about that. Lawyers are cause one because all doctors practice "Cover Your Ass Medicine" known far and wide as CYA Health Care; I was just given expensive tests they "forgot" to give me two years ago because as a test giver told me, "White lawyers get rich, white doctors get rich, and people like me need the work." We laughed because we both knew there was no need for the tests at this late date but they had to be done. How much have costs gone up to avoid law suits? How much have costs gone up due to the advancing technology (MRI, Cat Scans, sophisticated lab tests)? These topics need to be discussed. The consumer pays for all "employer paid" health insurance. OK, but how much do we pay?

In LA right now we have a strike of MTA mechanics, at least half of whom make $100,000 per year and who START at 50K per. These pricks won't pay their own health costs; bus riders and tax payers pay them. Everything we buy or use has a built in cost of benefits in the price. How much is this price? How much of the transportation fares are benefit costs? I have read that $1,700 on each American car is worker benefits. Don't hold your breath looking for this discussion. Then there is fraud. MediCare fraud is 100 MILLION in California, one of the things Davis hasn't touched. How much medicine is fake workers comp, fake injuries and sicknesses that lawyers will sue over, and just plain rip offs of the system?

Let's talk.
