The goal of the HR 3200 is to collectivize health care delivery by increasing taxes on businesses and individuals, the destruction of the private health insurance, including Medicare advantage and the redistribution of medical services along geographically regions.
Yes, the government will be empowered to redistribute health care spending along geographically areas. Doctors in the 20 percent of counties that have the lowest medicare expenditures will get a 5 percent bonus in the House bill. The House bill also propose to revamp hospital and physician fees to equalize geographical payment levels with the goal of forcing down higher spending areas to the lower spending regions. The impact on innovation, access to care and health will be devastating. Such efforts ultimately fail. Both Canada and the UK have substantially increased health care spending (at a faster rate than we have) and still have wide regional disparties in expenditures and outcomes. In the meantime, health outcomes in the US are better than they are in Canada or the UK for cancer and heart disease, the leading causes of death.
