Unfortunately medical costs won’t go back to those days due to cost of living, office costs, coding with insurance et all since then. If medical has the IQ along with passion good for people but if it cost them more than they’re making throwing them in poverty for their work plus being on front lines for every disease and long hours plus stress of the population and amount of different cases coming in they’ll do something else that they can enjoy life better lol God blesses them with health that is affected by others and at those prices just with the cost of gas they’d be doing it not only for free but put them in debt while affecting their health. At one time doctors could visit one general area.
These days with all the crazies out there it wouldn’t be safe to go to homes. Home care nurses can tell you some stories.
One nurse got stabbed by a crazy that should of been in a psych unit. Home nursing enables people to stay at home for patient or child and for nurses to set their own days and hours and travel but no real benefits. I know one that lived in many states just traveled including Hawaii.
She was from Wisconsin but met here last heard she was back there telling be I should go too but might be somewhere else by now I haven’t checked.
Bottom line cost of living rent space regs won’t allow it.
I agree cost are too high and insurance is the culprit. The other are pharmas plus pharmacies both jacking up prices. Medical workers doesn’t get any special rates either. They used too but don’t anymore. Test also upped their prices.
These working class people who got caught up with Obama care found because of the high deductible if they needed test or medicine they couldn’t afford it because the had to pay the 6-10 thousand deductible first.
For many young family’s it inhibited them from moving up to make more money simply because insurance costs they couldn’t afford it, it would put them in debt just paying for medical or Obama care deductibles.
Both hospitals, some doctors along with insurance and pharmaceutical need to be addressed. Most young healthy just need a few doctor visits a year few tests and catastrophic just Incase or accidents.
