How
do schools, businesses, and Doctors misuse
governments
to eliminate their
competition and increase your prices?
If
governments, states, Democrats, Republican,
and Independents, would let people share course costs,
and not block
people from getting an accredited education,
or a wanted job,
which they all do now, (encouraged by
most professions, trades,
and labor unions promoting
obstructive licensing to reduce their
competition,
(in their own trade or profession) by requiring irrelevant
education, delayed field entry,
unnecessary high entry costs,
and thus increase their charges
to you), all people
themselves could afford
to get an accredited education
without
government help. With K-12 and college podcasts
teacher's homework and grading
would be drastically
reduced and teachers would be more rested for their
important school teaching)
Examples
of deceitful rules at all occupation levels, that also
prevent
employees from starting their own business, raises
unemployment,
and increasing your cost of life:
a.
State law requires House painters in Massachusetts to work
for
a painting company for 4 years before they can take a
rigging test
that allows them to use ladders and staging, this
can be learned
in 1 day. (This legal ruling prevents students
from competing, earning summer money, and
cheaply
painting your house.
b.
Roofers in Florida must work 4 years with a contractor
(before
it was no years), and prices were as low as 8 cents per
square
foot) to pass a test that many roofers who worked 30
years,
in other states, can't pass, and learn all types of roofing
work,
instead of just the kind they want to do, (result after
legislation:
prices are 3 times higher and many people learn
to do
their own roof in two hours. Of course, none of the then
existing
Florida roofers had to take any test at all, and all the
finished
roofs continued to be inspected after completion, as
before,
indicating no need at all for prior testing.)
c.
Dentists are required to have 9 years of education to do
some procedures
that Alaska, New Zealand, and many other
countries allow
with 2 years of training (with equal skill, as
research proved), as indicated in Exterior Link
http://www.
MedicalCountries.org
$1000
to $3000. U. S. root canals can
cost as little $65
dollars in India.
(In fact, a few Indian dentists
do root canals for $18., as one Indian dentist told me.)
d. Automobile labor
unions forced wages up to $70.
dollars
per
hour (including benefits),
while minimum
wages were around $7
dollars per hour) thus U.S. car
manufactures could no longer compete
with foreign
manufactures and we lost our car inductry.
e.
U. S., and Canadian Doctors and dentists are required to
pass tests
that in many years, only 1/3 pass, and to have 4
years of college
before medical school while in most
countries students start
medical school after high school,
learn everything they need to
know, and thus get 4 more
years of practice in their lifetime as doctors,
and U.S.
technicians are prevented from doing simple medical
procedures that the Veterans Administration, and many
other
countries encourage. (All this is how they, and the
colluding government,
keep your prices high, get their treats,
and eliminate competition from low cost sources).
My father,
board certified in 2
specialties, would play golf 3 days a week
while I , at 17 years of
age, would put a green liquid in his
patients eyes, fold their eye
lid over and remove any irritating
particles from these patient eyes,
free of change. (Anyone
can do this with 2 minutes training, and
not need the 24 years
of education he had. Many other daily done procedures
are
just a simple)
f.
Legislators are now protecting brick-and-mortar schools
from competition by now requiring that
school have a
campus. (What grass are they smoking?) Total spending on
U. S.
education, from
all sources, and including all levels is
about 1.13 trillion yearly,
mostly for buildings and
administration. Exterior link
http://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/fed/role.html
g.
U.S. citizens are taxed to support a military industrial
complex that
consumes 6.61 times more of its dollars than
the 2nd biggest spending
nation does. (661 billion for U. S.
and 100 billion for China).
Just the cost of one air craft carrier,
5 billion, cost the
same
as 104 years of 80 bachelor degree
podcast courses).Exterior
Link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures
h.
Or, the U.S. Government could educate 2.8 billion English,
and Mandarin speaking people for up to 858 years
with the
$41.2 billion in Pell Grants that were scheduled
to educate
only 9.6 million U.S. students for 1
year. ($41.200,000,000 /
$48 million, (1 year Pell Grant Funds
/ the yearly cost of 80
bachelor degree podcast courses = 858+ years of
college
It
does not always pay to put yourself, your team, your state,
your country, your religion, always ahead of others, and the
earth. In the end YOU lose.
Cooperation
beats the hell out of
competition in this podcast
case.
I
like my country as much as you do but I am not blind! Is it
any
wonder U.S. prices cannot compete with other countries,
and
that the U.S, is loosing most of its industries because of
these
anti-competitive practices???

Organ transplantation -
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/03/30/us-transplants-idUSL3042128920070330
Currently some organs can be created
from your tissue to be
transplanted into your body. These are
called autografts.
Transplants preformed between two
subjects of the same
species are called allografts.
In some villages in Pakistan
40+ percent of the residents have sold
their kidneys to a
wealthy person for $2,500, and
likewise in Chennai, India,
poor fishermen have sold their
kidney for similar amounts,
but people in some places pay over
$100,000 for transplants.
Only a fraction of the 4
million U.S. people that die each year
are organ donators. Frequently
India, China, Philippines,
Iraq,
South Africa, Turkey
and Eastern Europe are destinations
for transplant
tourists. The Iran model is often quoted as
an example of
a successful organ transplantation
programme for a country where
the donor is paid from an
official fund. Donors and recipients, under this plan, have no
waiting time.
You could help
yourself to get the body parts you need by
calling all the
social and public media and suggest remedies
for the organ
transplant shortage: Hospitals and Police
stations should
have truck refrigeration to store
deceased
accident victims, and be required to immediately report new
arrivals to a person whose job is to contact relatives for
approval to donate for transplants the 200 parts that are
immediately available from each death. Call radio and TV
stations, political leaders, talk programs, the social media
and help everyone get the parts they need from the yearly
4 million U.S., and 56,597,034 million world
wide deaths.
Lists are available on the Internet of
email addresses for your
use. There is no rational reason for this shortage. Please do
this today!!!!

How most GOVERNMENTS, even the
Democrats and Republicans,
CREATE your high
medical costs while pretending concern
The doctors, dentists,
education institutions, drug
manufactures, and hospitals, give their governments political
payoffs for eliminating competition. The number of
participants in each of these groups are purposely severely
limited using licensing and regulations that prolong
expensive, irrelevant education to create,
support, and
justify their high charges of a thousand
and more $ per hour.
Meanwhile they will
support legislation limiting you to $8.
per hour. You will never have low health prices with high
component costs. (1/4 Billion is paid to 3300 U.S. health
lobbyists, each year, to increase your health
costs),

Medical Providers--Stop the states from limiting the
supply of doctors, dentists, medical technicians and other
medical providers, who could treat you for forty percent
of
the cost. In each state the state government, and
the state
divisions of the AMA (through licensing, regulations,
and
selective funding) determine the number
of medical
students they will allow, about 18,000
per year. Some years
as few as 1/3 of medical students
are admitted to medical
schools. Just from 1993
to 2009 more than 424,865 U.S.
medical students heart
were broken because they were
prevented from becoming

(Research
Studies from the Harvard School of Dental
Medicine (HSDM) and many
other sources show that
whether students make high or lower scores on GPAs,
MCAT, DAT, MBDE Part 1, or PAT will not
indicate, or predict
their final degree of Clinical Competence
(whether they will
do a good job on protecting your
health). But, because
schools and governments
need a "REASON" for rejecting
students up to 2/3 of
the students are rejected by invalidly
reasoned test results, and instead of dentists being trained
to do your dental work in 2 years, (As in Alaska and New
Zealand and 50 other countries with equal skill, as
research
proved) dentists will be trained for 8 to 11
years, and your
teeth will rot and many will die because
they cannot afford
the subsequent high dental costs.
To affirm or disprove
this statement do your own 2 or 3
day "key words search"
on Google with similar
key words such as these
Does GPA and DAT Predict Clinical Performance
Among
Dental Students?
Current
dental student first year enrollment is about 46%
less when compared to 1978 dental student first year
enrollment per number of U. S. persons, and medical
residencies, (the graduate training required of all doctors)
are under funded by the federal government: That
is why
dental prices have dramatically risen in recent years and
why dentists earnings exceed many doctors ($300,000+)
http://www.etsdental.com/articles/future1.htm
This web address will show you how dentists
have increased your prices by controlling the
enrollment of dentist. If it does not come up
in your search when you click on it, copy and
paste it in your search engine and you will get
this important information put here for
customers of dentists because it is important
that they can afford dentists and not die of
rotten teeth. Currently dentists are earning
more than many doctors and are not
affordable. I care about your health.
The reason
for not going to the dentists was that it costs to
much (34%). Half of consumers (51%) who have not been
to the dentist in five years reported that high costs
are an
important factor. Dental specialists
make over $300,000
per year, and many people die
because they cannot afford
the corruptible
caused high costs.

Medical
Licensure by Professor Milton Friedman
http://www.fff.org/freedom/0194e.asp
Years of schooling does not
determine pay scale, in a free,
just, democratic economy, but supply and demand
does.
For example, Massachusetts has 4.3.physicians
per thousand
U.S. people and Oklahoma has 1.6 this caused
the income
of a
primary care physician in MA to be 120K, and the
income of a primary care physician in OK to be 250K. There
is no difference in the work or training, but
only the results of
a limited supply! With
Massachusett's Universal Coverage,
demand increased and
the average wait by a new patient for
an appointment with an internist rose to 52 days in 2007
from 33 days in 2006, and as indicated in
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/05/us/05doctors.html,
and http://www.medicalcountries.org//
Especially
in the Health Insurance countries, the
UK and
Canada, supply is further limited. The U.K. provided
the N.H.S. while at the same time restricting the
number of
doctors to 2.45, and .40 dentists
per thousand people.
This collusive, short supply
protects high doctor/dentist
incomes
under the N.H.S., and causes 6% of patients to
treat
themselves, for example: pulling their own teeth
out with
pliers. Many wait 18 months for
treatment and others receive
no treatment
because they cannot find or afford a provider, and
this will happen in the U.S. with a limited
supply under
Government Health Insurance.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-03-02-doctor-shortage_x.htm
Because
demand will be greatly increased. 4.1 million
Canadians are without a general practitioner, but the
Canadian Medical Association, and the government effort
to keep supply low, increases doctors income, and your
problems and costs.

STOP using
EDUCATION AS A BARRIER TO THE ENTRY
INTO THE
MEDICAL FIELD. "Barriers to Entry"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barriers_to_entry
Other than
the U.S. and Canada, most countries give medical
students more High School science classes and admit these
students directly into Medical and Dental schools,
where they
learn everything they need to know
including anatomy,
physics, chemistry, biology,
genetics, histology, calculus,
medical diagnosis, the
ethical and emotional treatment
of patients,
etc. This is true in China, India, Germany, France,
England, etc. but in the USA and Canada, medical
students
are prevented from getting 4 extra years of
learning and
practice as a doctor by the requirement
that they must
take irrelevant college courses for 4
years before medical
school, and the poor can't be
doctors because of the high
schooling costs.
How did this irrelevant
educational diversion start? In 1910
the doctors were not making the amount of money they
desired, and were getting more competition
than they
wanted from their own kind and from
several alternative
medical systems. Many medical schools
were poor, some
with no dispensary, no
lab, no ability for the students to see
sick
patients, lots of untrained teachers, no cadavers for
anatomy class, etc. This gave the medical lobbies an excuse
for why they needed more education in order to "help
the
public." What is needed is good
education, not more
irrelevant education. But what was and is more
important
to the medical lobbies are the changes
needed to be kept
in force to realize the goal of
high wages and status. So,
the majority of medical schools
were closed (over a 100,
especially black and
female schools), 4 more years of
irrelevant education was
added, and many medical students
were
prevented from ever becoming doctors.
"Frexner
Report": External links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexner_Report
The "Flexner Report", on page 167, explains, how the lobby
would control medical institutions and workers through the
misuse of state boards. "The state boards are the
instruments through which the reconstruction of medical
education will be largely effected. To them the graduate in
medicine applies for the license to practice. The boards
determine: 1. The preliminary educational requirements.
2. The facilities required of the medical schools. 3.
Examination of the student for licensure." To see how
doctors and the AMA control, produce, and CREATE YOUR
HIGH COST, look here:

an attack of medical licensure.
In
many countries medical school is free, so more students
are available. With in-home learning of the proper
audio and
video podcasts of college courses
needed for a BS or BA
degrees, and Internet computer
testing, (with governments
crediting courses
after testing), the need for most colleges
could
be eliminated, even the Phoenix types, and
the cost
of a 4 year BS degree could go down to $5. or less

tool that is a better
teacher than you get in any
college, in my opinion. Words

Many
foreign students work in the U.S., and Canada. Their
training is more complete, because these
students get 4
more years of medical
practice in their lifetime. (Foreign
students
will see, on average, at least 16,000 thousand
more patients, in their medical practice, at a
rate of 2 patients
per hour in the 8,000 more
hours of their 4 more years of
medical
work). Dental Therapists have been treating
patients
for 90 years in New Zealand, and now in 50
other countries,
and recently in Alaska. Their 2
years of training is comparable
to the
practical training dentists get for drilling and filling
teeth. At the Baylor College, University of
Dentistry,
University of Washington it
was determined that the quality
of therapists-treated teeth, in 600 procedures, on
400 patients,
was not different from that
provided by dentists, but lower
in cost. So, why does
the government force us to use, in
most states, high cost U.S., overly trained, unaffordable
dentists? U.S. dentists charge $1000 to $3000
for a one
hour root canal that India Dentist
do for $80. Technicians
use a finger and hand skill that could be learned in 2 weeks
by technicians.) One Indian dentist told me that there are
some Indian dentists that charge as low a $18. for a root
canal.
We Should
flood the country with practitioners so that only
they that
love their work will want to practice, and thus have
enough time to discover illnesses, and not waste
patients-
time waiting in offices of over-worked,
ill-tempered doctors.
Laws and constitution are being
violated? Is this unequal
treatment, unlawful
restraint of trade, etc.? This issue needs

study, action, and your help! World's Best

a provider in the country of your choose, (Doctor Quality). Get

and the hospital they work at may
have high infections rates

if one picks a quality hospital
first and then a qualified doctor that works at that quality
hospital one has the best of
both worlds. The number of
people in the U. S. who die,
per year, of hospital infections
or medical mistakes is about 100,000
each, or about 200,000

Medicare Prescription Drugs:
Medicare Part D, the new
outpatient drug coverage beginning on Jan.1, 2006, works
like other health insurance plans. Medicare
beneficiaries will
be able to choose from at least two
prescription drug
coverage plans. Those plans
will cover drugs for all
medically necessary
treatments, will pay for brand name
and generic
drugs, and will enable beneficiaries to get
prescriptions
at a pharmacy or through mail order. The
standard drug coverage in 2006 will require consumers to
pay a $250 deductible and a monthly premium of
about $35.
After beneficiaries pay $250, Medicare will
pay 75 percent
of a beneficiary's drug expenses up to
$2,250, with
beneficiaries paying 25 percent of the
costs.-Exterior Link:

Pharmacies across the border:
If you live close to either
Canada or Mexico, you can buy medications in
either country
for a lower price.
Canada: “Canada
places a limit on the price that can be
charged by the drug companies on prescription
drugs. With
those limits the price may be
half or less than what you are
paying in
the U.S. That, along with the lower value of the
Canadian dollar compared to U.S.currency makes
buying
in Canada a good value. You
will need a prescription from
a doctor
in Canada, but pharmacies that routinely deal
with
people from the US can often arrange
this. Many seniors
groups in border areas
are arranging bus trips north to buy
medications.”
Canadian
Drugstores Evaluated and Rated-External Link:

Mexico: You can buy most
drugs without a prescription
at

precautions: Make sure the

companies.
Medicines manufactured in other
countries are not FDA
approved, and they may not
live up to American standards.
Besides,
bringing foreign pills into the country or having
