All the government is proposing is an alternative for people who can't get employer based insurance to be able to buy directly from the same insurance that senators and congressmen get. Otherwise, business as usual for private insurance companies.~~ ~~This is a mute point because Nationalized insurance is not in the works.

Also the Internet site www. alternative medicine for Maine would hopefully give some info.

Insurance is gambling. How do we keep Casino's from getting more and more corrupt, like the insurance industry is? Caps on profits. If an insurance company had to pay out 90 cents of every dollar that it takes in, it would have to lower premiums. Pass transparent billing, enforce contract law and anti-trust laws. That is very important too, but if insurance companies were obligated to return a percentage of what they take in, not a percentage of net, but a percentage of each and every dollar they touch, health care costs would come down to a realistic level. One law, enforce the others. Done! I agree with a lot of what Nemisis said, but I think I can simplify it even further.

Unless of course you view treatment of the poorer people a failure. The benefit to not treating a lot of people, is faster care for the wealthy. If you don't want to have universal health care, the government can step in and price fix medical procedures like they do in japan. It works okay for them. They can afford adequate medical treatment because the government forces it to be affordable, and the same prices in rural as in urban areas. The real problem with our system, coming from someone who has an entire family in medicine (Doctors, surgeons, nurses)...is the insurance companies. They buffer every side. The doctors, the hospital, the patients, everyone has to get insurance, and they are the ones forcing prices higher and higher.

Rush has been made to be the voice of the party by the media, i sure dont like everything he says. i believe in the division of church/state to the extent that the founding fathers did. which is that the government will not dictate to others the religion to which they must prescribe. i doubt that they meant that there shall be no religion, and by association the morals that come with it, in politics and gov. since they mention god frequently rude spelling critics use “cuz” to save characters.

Health care management and administration deals much with the same tasks such as budgeting, marketing, meeting with stake holders, dealing with several of hospitals in your given area, organizing and managing the staff that are through various departments. They also are in charge of orchestrating different rules and regulations in process of discipline, hiring and firing etc. through various hospital regions. I will also provide you a couple of links that may explain things a little clearer to you regarding this. http://www.aaham.org/ http://www.mshealthcareers.com/careers/healthcareadmin.htm http://www.healthmanagementcareers.org/careers.cfm http://www.ache.org/ From what I could see, I believe that you would need a little bit higher than a diploma. It would be either a bachelors or a masters. Depending on where you live, it may be very similar.
