Someone needs to step into these positions in short order. There are ghost accounts being maintained at the Social Security Administration in probably every previous recipients names. I have a ghost account in the system.
It’s also tied into a subsidized Medicare Part D account at Community CCRX.
I have been ineligible for law enforcement. All investigations have been stopped.

THESE MATTERS MUST BE INVESTIGATED> I should have the right to get these matters put on a table somewhere, pretty soon.
I am trying to pick myself up, dust myself off and find a department of Justice employee that remembers the rule of LAW.

HELP ME MR. HOLDER> I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE

So instead of reforming the industry and putting bad (most) HMOs out of business, and equating health care as a right, Obama is putting another band-aid on a suppurating wound. Change you can believe in, but not get.

Expect pay for performance in healthcare to have the same distorting impact as CEO incentive compensation. Providers are just as smart as Chief Executives.

Recall the widespread illegal practice of backdating stock options? Cheating is one method of optimizing one’s pay and nearly 30% of CEO’s did it.

The Obama team also has a physician specialty mix issue to address. Lead time to train doctors equates to developing an oil well, 8-10 years.

There are two problems, not enough doctors and the specialty mix. America needs more primary care doctors.

It’s a big job and badly needs to be done. Health care providers already have a good job to do. They don’t need to be bribed to provide good care.

Poor quality and greed destroyed investing. Let’s not do likewise to health care.
