Wow DUmmy what a great idea! Maybe we can call them "General Hospital's" like we had here in California until they all went broke and closed.  :thatsright:

 Citizens could simply buy catastrophic insurance for major risks, and the clinics could do all the daily care. A community could even buy a hospital. Residents could buy in at a reasonable rate.

Eliminate the middleman. Eliminate the bureaucracy and the paperwork.

Sounds like the town where I grew up, community built a hospital and clinic, hired a couple doctors.  People went to the doctor when they were sick (and paid the bill.)  People went to the hospital for emergencies or procedures (and paid the bill.) 

Of course, the DUmmy's problem is the (and paid the bill) part.  When our libtards did all that agitating they are so proud of, they got our government to write literally tons of stupid laws to "protect" the patients (because DUmmies wouldn't be smart enough to just replace a lousy doctor), and now it takes 50 people to do what a couple doctors and a handful of nurses did 50 years ago.   :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Or maybe counties can do it. Like they do all over the country!

L.A. Emergency Rooms Full of Illegal Immigrants


LOS ANGELES —  This is part three of a five-part series looking at how illegal immigration affects U.S. border security, the criminal, health care and education systems, as well as the economy. Watch the series this week on FOX News Channel.

Overburdened by the uninsured and overwhelmed by illegal immigration (search), public health care in Los Angeles is on life support.

Sixty percent of the county's uninsured patients are not U.S. citizens. More than half are here illegally. About 2 million undocumented aliens in Los Angeles County alone are crowding emergency rooms because they can't afford to see a doctor.

According to the State Association of Hospitals (search), California's public health system is "on the brink of collapse." In Los Angeles County, patients can wait four days for a hospital bed and up to two years for gallbladder surgery.

Anyone see a problem here?
