Does this give you a warm and fuzzy feeling? What is your reaction to this and other reports related to unnecessary health care? How do you know you are receiving only high quality health care?
Citing studies of waste in the healthcare system, Kennedy said as much as 50% of the care delivered by healthcare providers is not backed by evidence of whether the drug or treatment administered will help or hurt the patient. Given that, the best way to make healthcare affordable is “by eliminating the care that has no value,” Kennedy said. “The question is, how do you do that in a way that allows delivery systems to be financially stable?”

QUINNSCOMMENTARY 
Does this give you a warm and fuzzy feeling? NOT REALLY. I ALREADY KNEW ALL OF THAT. What is your reaction to this and other reports related to unnecessary health care? MY SUSPICIONS ARE CONFIRMED. How do you know you are receiving only high quality health care? I DON’T NOW KNOW THAT, BUT THE PRESIDENT AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING WITH THE PPACA IN THE FACE OF INCREDIBLE OPPOSITION FROM THE KOCH BROTHERS AND RIGHT WING IDEOLOGUES LIKE THE TEA PARTY MEMBERS, ALL OTHER CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS AND YOU.
Citing studies of waste in the healthcare system, Kennedy said as much as 50% of the care delivered by healthcare providers is not backed by evidence of whether the drug or treatment administered will help or hurt the patient. WHAT STUDIES? WHERE COULD “EVIDENCE” COME FROM? THAT IS A STUPID THING TO STATE. I RELY ON MY DOCTOR (FOR 20+ YEARS) TO USE HIS BEST JUDGEMENT. WHAT ELSE COULD HE AND ITOGETHER DO? Given that, the best way to make healthcare affordable is “by eliminating the care that has no value,” Kennedy said. “The question is, how do you do that in a way that allows delivery systems to be financially stable?” HE SOUNDS LIKE BILL COSBY ASKING, “WHY IS THERE AIR”?
