FROM: USA Ohio Citizen, Susan Marie CassAdy-Neuhart FONT = Times Type is RED. Dear Senator Portman, Thank you for your response. Sir, there does seem to be some misunderstandings – on the part of your staff - if they did - in fact - read my previous message to you. The misunderstandings are indicated and addressed below as […] A PDF version of our “conversation” appears on my personal web site – design in progress. Most importantly, [Sir] I have suggested an idea for USA HealthCARE – as it was originally proposed – by Harry S. Truman (in 1948) on my personal web site: WWW-LINK With a major difference! That is, Sir, I embrace the idea of Medical Professionals working (exclusively) for the United States Government.Mr. Truman was forced to disavow this. You see, Sir, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin – BS in 1982. And, I believe that I received a very good Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education – from this USA Public Institution. I did consider OSU – however… It was my impression, that my “ UWGB-Professors” were pleased and enthusiastic to provide the specialized knowledge that they imparted to me and my fellow students (daily). My professors stated – as matter of fact – what they were paid. They encouraged students to inquire further (to our Dean) – about their pay and benefits – if we so desired. Sir, my professors worked 40 (or more) hours per week. They were well informed, smart and highly respected by the grateful students that they served. Now, as you may know, the current state of affairs – for USA Medical Doctors – is that they “work” only 4 days per week (typically Monday thru Thursday); and, primarily serve the “profit motive” – of the business-related enterprise they are a part of. Patients are “managed” – like cattle – through the vigorous implementation of “Patient Management Systems” and, their “supporting” office personnel – many of these fine people, minimally educated; Most of them “under-paid”. That is, today’s USA Health Care entities are designed and implemented as “profit making centers” – where patient comfort and care is secondary to patient through-put, speed, billing, etc. AND, they avoid expense and legal entanglements – at all costs. ALL USA Health CARE entities are counseled by the AMA and the organizations that it (the AMA) helped to found and it supports – and endorses. The AMA [in fact] killed President Truman’s idea(BiLL) for Universal HealthCARE – in 1948. The AMA simultaneously created the USA Health Insurance Industry. Thus, in my opinion, USA Medical Professionals, must be made to work FOR the entity that they serve – That is, the USA Government AND its USA Citizens. That is, USA Medical Professionals should NOT enjoy a status – more special or rewarded - than, the USA Public University Professors – that taught them their craft – to begin with. Medical Professionals motivated ONLY by money – should not be permitted to practice medicine – in the USA. The changes that are needed are obvious – to many: 1) The “profit motive” for providing USA medical care (to USA Citizens) – must be eliminated; and, 2) USA Health Care delivery (services) must be taken back from FOR PROFIT Health Insurance providers Sir, my idea for a USA Health Care Bill, does this; and, it is still on my personal web site. Presented in “plain” and “fancy” formats. Documented, are specific ways – in which the obvious (stated above) could be done. My ideas are presented in a short Congressional BiLL format. I think, that you [and your staff] will see that I have researched the issues involved. YES, I do support Congressman Conyer’s Bill (HR676) – insofar as it accomplishes the same goals; But, his funding mechanisms, and sentiments - that Medical Professionals “shall be employees of the USA government” - are not so clearly stated. Indeed, Congressman Conyers wants to “expand” MediCare. I want to overhaul it – and, change USA Health Care (in all aspects) - in dramatic ways. Very importantly, although I am a Democrat (Still an “Obama Girl” – in fact!) – I believe, that perhaps, Mr. Trump, may be able to get a clean BiLL (such as mine is) enacted (for Americans) – where – others – previously – have failed. Consider, President Trump (clearly) has the fortitude that will be required. He does NOT need Big Insurance money. And, he knows what drives business - such as I do. That is, business (in America) runs on “profits”. He has lived this – like me. Thus, [he knows] the provision of Health Care services – must never be related or reliant upon “business profits”. This is illogical – as a partnership. Moreover, Mr. Trump probably “instinctively”- “innately” knows this. He will NOT need to be convinced. The Health Insurance Industry is (in fact) a “business” – based purely on risk, profit and actuarial science. Clearly, Mr. Trump would be remembered (kindly) – in history – as the person that got USA Health CARE done correctly. President Obama was forced to make concessions – to get the first steps implemented. Mr. Trump could build on what President Obama began. And, I will help – as I am able to. Please look to Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown – and, other Democrats – to also be helpful. Mr. Conyers may be helpful – in the House. Although, the Health Insurance lobby is active in all areas of implemented policy – and, law making. Thus, even Democrats may run from my ideas for USA Health CARE law; Insofar as it hurts their political machines. I do not seek to be popular on this – Nor, am I. All best! Sir – and, thank you for your public service. Sincerely, Susan CassAdy – Neuhart – an Ohio resident
