Cookie-cutter Healthcare

     Health care has gotten much more expensive over the years, yet the quality of health care is no better than it was 10 to 15 years ago.  Health care is gotten so expensive that it's gotten to the place where no one can afford it anymore, this has led Congress to come up with forced health insurance.  The question is; does health care really need to be that expensive?  Health care has become so cookie-cutter that doctors have become predictable on how they approach any health problem.
     When a person goes to  see a doctor, they first get weighed and then have their blood pressure taken, that person will then tell the doctor what they're going through, what their symptoms are and  automatically the doctor will tell that patient they need to do some blood test (this of course  will cost that patient more money) and then they have to come back for another appointment to find out  what their problem is,  they are then given a prescription to get filled at the pharmacy.   Basically, cookie-cutter health care.
     Let's take a good look at where your money is going okay.  On your first initial visit you have to pay the nurse,  the doctor, and clinic, they reside in.  When that person go's to get their blood drawn,   that person has to pay the nurse drawing the blood , the location where it's done, and the lab where it's tested.  Next, person will have to pay for their second visit to the doctor in order to find out what's wrong with them,  the doctor will then write them a prescription, they will then go to the pharmacy and pay the pharmacist for that prescription.
 That person will more than likely have to go back to the doctor again, and pay for the nurse, the clinic, and the doctor,  to see if that prescription is working,  and the only way to do that again, is to be sent to have their blood drawn, paying for that and the lab to see if the prescription is working. That person will then have to go back to the doctor paying his staff and the location  to find out whether or not it is working.   Hopefully, for that person's sake, it is working because, if it isn't, you will have to repeat this whole process again. Gee, I wonder why health care cost so much?
     There's got to be a better way, and there is.
     To make health care affordable again, all we have to do is build  a machine  that will weigh you, take your blood pressure,  then you type in what is happening to you health-wise into the terminal  and then stick your arm into the hole, where the machine will draw blood from you, analyze your blood then print the prescription you need.  All done!  All it would draw from your credit card or debit card is $25. Since health care is so cookie-cutter anyway why not do this instead?   There would be no need for forced insurance anymore  because health care would be affordable  and the results would be the same as if you went to a doctor and gone through all the  rigamarole's that you have to go through now. It's also more time efficient. All the  information that a doctor knows can be programmed onto a computer, only surgeons and neurologist would be needed after this machine was built.  Just think about how much money could be saved, not to mention time, by using this machine instead of the old cookie-cutter service. Same Cookie-cutter service, just less expensive and time-consuming.  The companies these people work for would save millions on sick leave and time lost at work.
