MORE APPOINTMENMTS

PRICES FOR SERVICESWE ARE CUSTOMERSWhen we buy a loaf of bread or a gallon of gasoline, we know the price before we make the purchaseLike wise the provider will, also, know and will make an invoice for only one price.

16TORT REFORMTORT REFORM IS WHAT CONGRESS,And the LOBBYISTS HAVE BEEN DANCING AROUND FOR YEARS

AND STILL HAVE NOT ADDRESSED

WHY?

17TORT REFORMA tort is a Legal WrongMalpractice law suits costs Health Care in US between $100 and $178 Billion per yearLess than 2% of patients who are negligently injured file a lawsuitOf lawsuits filed, ONE OF EVERY THREE DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY MEDICAL ERRORIf a lawsuit is filed, almost 1 in 6 victims receive NO compensation1 in 10 meritless lawsuits result in a compensation award

18TORT REFORM - THIS PLANProvides for attorneys to file two types of lawsuitsOne with a cap on an award of $250,000The other has NO cap on an awardIf a court finds that there was no malpractice, the attorney filing the lawsuit shall pay the defendants: 5 times the costs of the defendants and their attorneys under the first option15 times the costs under the second option25 times the costs, if a jury determines that the lawsuit was harassment

19TORT REFORM THIS PLANThis Plan protects the right of any one injured to seek compensationAt the same time it discourages filing just to be filing for dollars

Attorneys need to make sure they have all of THEIR DUCKS IN ORDER, and then look again to make sure THEY ARE ALL DUCKS, before they file a lawsuit.

20UNNECESSARY TESTSIT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THATUNNECESSARY TESTS COSTS THE ECONOMY$210 BILLION PER YEARTORT REFORM WILL ASSIST IN REDUCING THISTHE PLAN ALSO HAS A PROVISION FOR COORDINATORS TO TRACK THE REFERRAL OF PATIENTSIF A GROUP OF PROVIDERS SHOWS A HISTORY OF REFERING TO EACH OTHERTHEY WILL BE REFERRED TO THE STATE BOARD OF REGISTRATION OF DOCTORS

21DRUG COMPANIESDrug companies shall sell their products IN the UNITED STATES for the SAME PRICES they sell the products OUTSIDE the U.S.

Consumers may purchase drugs from OUTSIDE the U.S.

Drug Manufacturers shall not attempt to, or actually pay a generic manufacturer not to enter the market, so the Drug Manufacturers can preserve their monopolies

22GENERIC DRUGSSEVENOUT OF TENPRESCRIPTIONS WRITTENARE GENERIC

23GENERIC DRUGSAll generic drugs shall be purchased and paid for by the customerExcept for customers with incomes Of $5,000, per year or less They will pay nothing PLAN WILLAt four dollar generics, the cost to bill the Plan would probably be equal to the $4 cost of the generic

24BRAND NAME DRUGS The customer will pay a percent of the price (CO-PAY) and the Plan will pay the balance

A customer may purchase a Brand Name instead of the generic, but will pay the FULL Brand Name Price.

The plan will NOT pay for it
