Excerpt
SUMMARY: Health correspondent Betty Ann Bowser looks at a new health care trend called concierge medicine that involves offering specialized care for those who can afford the price tag.
GWEN IFILL: It's a common refrain. Patients say it's getting harder to see a doctor. And when they do, they feel pressed for time. But for a price, a small, but growing number of clinics offer a more boutique relationship, a model of care that raises questions about equality and access.
COMMENT: Again, this is an example that highlights the REAL problem with health care in the U.S., money.
Our econmic system is putting a price-tag on our lives, and if we cannot afford to pay to stay healthy? ....go into a corner and die. Immoral and unethical in my book.
