I remember hearing awhile back about a hospital that did "hot spotting" - I want to say it was in NY. They looked at their uninsured population & drilled down their high receivables to a single neighborhood. They went into that neighborhood & did things such as clean the filthy apt of someone with severe asthma who kept coming to ther ER for exacerbations. I think acting outside the box to address these issues for people of all ages is a wonderful idea.

Your question doesn't even deserve a response. Seniors worked hard to pay taxes throughout their lifetimes to accrue enough years of work to be eligible to receive Medicare. After retirement, Medicare only pays 70% of their healthcare cost so the senior must purchase a supplemental insurance, the cost of which is deducted from their Social Security Benefit. Medicare doesn't even cover all medical services. Remember, 700 billion dollars was cut from Medicare by President Obama and the Congress to fund the expansion of Medicaid, causing certain diagnostic services for seniors to not be covered at all. Now, you are asking if paramedics should be sent to treat people with multiple conditions which require the expertise of a doctor. I think it is deplorable to treat seniors who worked hard paying taxes to the Feds, State, County, and Local governments; who paid Federal, State, and Local taxes for years to send kids to school who weren't their own, to provide Medicaid to those who could not or would not work. These people also paid taxes to provide the less fortunate with food and housing and still pay taxes on their meager Social Security incomes as well as property taxes to continue to send other people's children to school, and feed them breakfast and lunch. They still pay taxes to provide fire and police services, and a myriad of city services. Seniors, even in their sunset years are still tax paying citizens who deserve more respect than they get. I find it curious that so many are eager to strip the tax paying seniors of what they worked for while being so compassionate about providing healthcare, education, housing and nutrition for those who aren't even tax paying citizens of this country; there was no cry of "Foul Play" when billions were stolen from the Medicare Trust and now you whine that Seniors cost too much money to provide them with a qualified and board certified doctor. You are so eager to cut the cost for senior care for the responsible parents of so many of you.

Really. Do you have any hope that our government, at any level would do anything to save money? I worked in government for 30 years and I can tell you that they never do anything that is not self-perpetuating.

Seniors don't have to worry, remember folks this president told us healthcare is now affordable.

I am all for any innovative ideas for healthcare there are tons out there unfortunately the politicians and insurance companies won't give up that power and unbelievable amount of money they get through the bureaucracy they have created. The sad thing is the actual people performing the work (doctors, nurses, paramedics) are the ones that are generally left out of the decision making when it comes to any 'changes'. There are ways to fix it if people open their eyes and minds and push to have them implemented.

Health care is serious business.
Some day it may not be lol for you.
In the meantime,
go ahead and enjoy
the suffering of others.

Isn't that similar to what Home Health United does already?

2 movies come to mind...Logan's Run and Soylant Green....lol
