Are you one of those lucky ones with good quality, low-cost health care? If you are, do not bother reading this. Chances are however, that you are not one of those lucky few. In fact, studies show that most people do not think they have good quality low-cost health care and more than 40 million have no health insurance at all.



Now, advances in technology and the Internet can turn the dream of low-cost health care into reality. Advances in technology always drive advances in medicine and health care. In almost every other industry, advances in technology also help drive costs down except health care. Why should health care be the exception? Who or what is stopping it?

Most are familiar with some of the consequences of a lack of low-cost health care:

1.Borrowing prescriptions when you do not have the money to buy your own.

2.Getting fewer tests and doctors visits than you need due to lack of money.

3.Using the emergency room when your health gets urgent rather than preventative care.

4.Getting fake doctors excuse notes to miss school or work when you do not have the time or money for a doctor's visit.

Companies are increasingly beginning to offer some of these services on the Internet. Right now, the most controversial of these is buying fake doctors excuse notes on the Internet. Perhaps that is part of the reason thousands of workers and students buy a doctors excuse online everyday. With millions uninsured and the cost of health care rising; access to doctors for a visit is growing more difficult. As more and more products and services move online it may not be long before many things done in a traditional doctors office are done on line. Now I am not saying that fake doctors excuses is the cure for all of health cares ills. But, could fake doctors notes be more of a symptom of the problems with health care than a problem themselves? Are consumers telling us with their thousands of purchases a day that we need to do a better job? Consumers may be telling companies that if we cannot get real doctors excuses online, then we will take fake ones.

What of those that seem to oppose fake doctors notes or find them unethical? Although opinion varies, the fact is that thousands of people each day buy fake doctors notes to miss work or delay a test at school. This is not surprising when you think that most of us have told a "little white lie" at one time in our lives. Many would say that small lies are so common from politicians to used car salesmen that we often take them for granted. Clearly, we all have our own set of ethics we follow and the buying of doctor's excuses is an individual choice that is not for some to judge.
