| 20110295770 | Solve-A-Crisis - To reduce a chunk of the 2.3 trillion a year healthcare cost in the U.S. Solve-A-Crisis is a floating vessel/ship/very large floating platform equipped with a fully functional hospital (which is run by a contracted JCI accredited hospital) standing in international waters, which is also a preferred surgical hospital by the U.S. insurance companies. Surgeries/Procedures performed at Solve-A-Crisis will be at the rates of non U.S. international JCI accredited hospitals but will be paid for by the U.S. insurance companies. Surgeries outside the United States typically cost at around 20-50% of those performed in the U.S. Out of the 50-80% money saved in getting surgery on board the ship, the patient will receive a bonus check of a percentage ranging from 10-50% of the cost difference. That way the total healthcare bill comes down to about 50-70%. Saving the U.S. trillions every year. | 12-01-2011 |
