My point is that Mississippi continues to shoot itself in the foot time and time again over turf issues and state regulations that hinder, not help the residents of this state. UMMC is not alone in trying to secure what it deems to be in its own best interests. As a state we are completely disfunctional with healthcare delivery and access. It's simply astounding the gaps that exist with no real solutions in sight. We are a poor rural state. Not everyone lives in Jackson, Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Oxford or along the coast. Everyone should have access to quality care. Did not say free. Quality. If delivery of said care needs to be handled in a more creative way than "how we've always done it" or a monopoly needs to be broken up to make sure access to basic services are met - so be it.

In addition, funding over here has gone into start-up telemedicine software and app developers such as Zeriscope and Reach Health. What kind of medical technology and software companies does UMMC have sitting across from it on Woodrow Wilson Avenue or North State Street?

In order to cut outrageous Medicaid and Medicare costs, GubMint should be pushing as much telemedicine as possible. <br /><br />Computer connections to, for example, low cost Indian pathologists, oncologists, and other specialists could greatly reduce the burden to the taxpayer. <br /><br />Here is is a great example." BLANK is an android app that provides free online consults from General Physicians from India 24x7. Anyone around the world can talk to the Doctor.<br /><br />We want to ensure that you have a doctor to talk to anytime you feel you want an opinion, no matter how minor / major the issue may be. Our health is too important for us to neglect.<br /><br />Doctors are meticulously selected through a rigorous process to ensure that you get the right opinion." The taxpayers of Mississippi are already greatly overburdened and deserve better. <br /><br />Let's start with all Medicare patients, so we clear out the waiting rooms. This "innovation" will greatly cut the burden posed by the elderly, while allowing them the convenience of meeting, "face to face," with that Indian doctor online, instead of the burden of providing transport, waiting in a crowded room where they might be exposed to other illnesses, and still provides managed, high quality, low cost medical services! A great ROI for our taxes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-83558037157676132722017-12-21T07:54:50.574-06:002017-12-21T07:54:50.574-06:00Hahahahahahahahahahahah.
