| "As soon as they look at the patient and see he's an
African-American or Latino, they assume automatically that he
doesn't have insurance at all."-- A Hispanic physician,
sharing perceptions about his colleagues
In my latest article I indirectly alluded to the fact that only miracles can overcome the fractured economic understanding to rely on the mathematical game theory to have the highest monetary pay off for society. The continuous preaching of mathematical tools to lower economic costs and increase profits has only provided a fractured economic system for the benefit of the few and privileged. It was in the Spring of 2000 that I came across the corrupted planning of mathematical studies to support economic policies. At that time I reviewed a study conducted by Dr. David Cassidy on No-Fault insurance and I became incensed at the degree of colluded corruption between our own Saskatchewan government, Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) and the University of Saskatchewan. No-Fault is an insurance scheme which limits the natural legal remedy for "pain and suffering" and I felt that No-Fault was a sign of our decadent democracy. Incidentally, I found later that No-Fault insurance was a pet project of George W. Bush while he was Governor of Texas. Today, some 41 million people have no health insurance in the United Sates and President Bush is again proposing No-Fault reforms to cut down the cost of health coverage. President Bush says that such reforms would save the federal government more than $20 billion per year, however President Bush doesnt say anything about the cost borne by the patients or the abusive cost of prescription drugs or the abusive cost of the present private health system. The bottom line for President Bush is to have big businesses to make money with no fault of their own while people lose their lives and their rights.
