Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 But, how? That's what I don't understand. How would our access to protocols such as Dr. G's be limited or eliminated entirely? Already he does not accept most insurance policies, and his waiting list is months long. How will a more efficient health care system affect our access to doctors like Dr. G? If anything, IMHO opinion, it will free up more of our personal resources to be able to more readily afford doctors like Dr. G. I also understand the proposed health care premium changes to allow more individuals access to insurance - NOT government provided insurance but the funds to purchase privately held policies. The more privately held policies, the across-the-board costs are lowered, so it's more affordable for everyone. One way costs will go down is, again IMHO, a very necessary change and that is the access to the information that doctors and hospitals use to more effectively treat us. My experience is that every doctor/hospital we go to has to take yet another complete medical history, then process it, then they still can't decipher our needs and have to order a bunch of (usually) unnecessary tests. A better info system will help bring costs down substantially.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hmm.. thats an interesting point of view. I never thought of it that way. I was worried that our doctors like Dr. G will not have the freedom to do what they want. But your view definitely makes sense, too! - --- Kristy Nardini <knardini@...> wrote: > But, how?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 During the Clinton administration, their health care reform proposal basically " nationalized " health care. It was government provided and government controlled. Patients could be fined for seeking medical care outside the system, including going to other countries. Although I'm not claiming that this is the current administration's position, I'm just pointing out the downside to government control of health care. According to what I read about this medical information clearinghouse, it provides for onsite medical consultation with your physician regarding your condition and appropriate treatments. In other words, while you're in the doctor's office, he/she would contact a government employee, give the diagnosis and consult with said employee about appropriate treatments. Of course, this is just in the preliminary stages, so who know where it will go from here. I'm totally supportive of giving people access to quality, affordable medical care. My concern is that we may be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hi I don't know where you are in the UK but at a the recent March 09 Bournemouth Autism Awareness Conference one of the speakers was a qualified Medical Physician Dr Anton Van Rhijn who practices at the Royal Homeopathic Hospital in London and he showed some impressive video footage of autistic children he has treated successfully in before and after shots including parental views. He was NOT allowed for some bizarre reason,by the powers that be (roll on the general election and good riddance to New Labour) to include the name of The Royal Homeopathic Hospital within the credits of the video,where the children were treated by him, under the National Health Service!. There is currently a concerted effort by the mainstream medics who occupy 85% of the building housing The Royal Homeopathic Hospital to have it closed down this includes lobbying the Minister for Health, so right to the heart of our Government. How can that be good for choice or democracy particularly as some of those resident mainstream medics include neurologists who mostly claim nothing can be done for those children affected by the MUST AT ALL COSTS BE DENIED current 'Genetic Epidemic'. Dr Van Rhijn suggests that parents should visit their Family Physicians and ask for referral to the Homeopathic Hospital, which of course will not be easy since it is far cheaper on GP budgets to follow the current trend of believing the future for these children is limited in the extreme and so too should services, so be prepared to be relentless if you want to pursue this option! Parents should routinely be told that this is a further option available on the Health Service. I am one of those parents who opted out of the State machine (and travelled to see other experts including Dr Goldberg in the United States and recognise the fortune in being able to do so) because of the damage the collective of Education and Health Services here almost made permanent for one of my children while we were stupid enough to believe that they knew what they were doing. We managed to recover a second child from a serious Language Impairment with no help from the State and our youngest son who has a severe receptive/expressive Language Impairment is making sustained progress after regression, I believe because we have refused all State intervention on the grounds of it's utter failure to our first child. And guess what my youngest son's school has just contacted us to advise that our wonderful Government has now mandated without any consultation that all children in the UK (even those who forgo the use of their incompetent services and choose private health and education) must be placed on their new super database with every single professional involvement also recorded to further 'improve' the 'services' to our Nation of Children. I imagine following this gross invasion of privacy,( if recent experience of those charged with protecting such private and sensitive information is anything to go by) we will be reading about it as a national scandal in our daily newspapers because it was left behind on a train, burgled car, unlocked office etc!! Increasingly parents are being devalued and undermined by the very people we put into office, who tell us that they know what is best and what we need and apparently that is State interference on a grand scale!
