Has anyone seen the org chart for Obama's health plan?
Here it is.
http://www.rollcall.com/pdfs/healthchart072309.pdf
Also, as a JPG:
Can anyone make heads or tails of this?
If I have an issue with my health care and want to call someone in the government health care system to discuss the issue, who do I speak to?
I know that some larger companies, including large insurance companies, have some pretty confusing org charts. Still, most companies have a call center, and you can generally find out who your account manager is, pretty quick.
But can anyone follow this monstrosity?
This is the greater efficiency that is going to save us all that money?

Yep, posted it yesterday although AMHD seems to have problems displaying the linked graphic. I'll try it as an attachment.
That's government efficiency at its best. What's telling also is the Dems are trying to block the GOP from sending this in a mailing to their constituents.

Seems pretty clear to me. By the time you get through all the red tape the majority of patients will be dead. No more worries about paying for some surgery that they have already deemed unnecessary.

According to the source listed at the bottom of the flow chart this is from the GOP. Explains why it is so crazy looking. I'll wait for the REAL flow chart to come out.

Actually, it's from GOP members of the committee that created the flow chart in the first place, based on the working papers of that committee. The Dems would like to distance themselves from it, but it's the real deal.

Good thing nothing is finalized yet always room for improvement. Lucky for me I don't need the public option (well at least at this very moment). That would suck if that is how it is really going to be I got motion sickness just trying to follow it

Actually, included (hidden within) in the chart I posted is the current system we have.
I can summarize it here.
Employers <-> Consumers -> insurance companies -> health care providers -> consumers <->employers
Employers and consumers pay the insurance companies. Insurance companies pay the health care providers. Health care providers provide services to the consumer. Consumers work for the employer. It's a pretty simple, mutually beneficial relationship.
The government plan?? I got no idea where it starts or ends.

In short, all this is is a summary of Obama's talking points. As that sort of document, it's a good summary. But like every summary, it leaves out the details. Unlike MANY summaries, it leaves out the IMPORTANT details.
It is what it is. But it doesn't really tell us very much.
