Good alternative proposal to a National Health?
National healths are burdensome on taxpayers, but there are alternatives.
Insurance needs to be available to all at an affordable cost. The best way to accomplish this would be for the government to create a taxpayer group plan and leverage the cost savings available to corporate group plans
Insurance companies are allowed to pay less for medical procedures than persons without insurance. This practice should be outlawed. If doctors/hospitals are willing to take a reduced rate from an insurance company there is no understandable reason why anyone without insurance should pay more. This is a double pricing strategy and unacceptable.
Flexible Spending Accounts are a great idea, but contributions are only good for one calendar year. Amend this to allow contributions to grow and rollover yearly. Thus allowing people to build a medical nest egg in preparation for catastrophic illnesses and old age medical costs.
Haven’t figured out what to about drug costs.
What say you?
paulisfree2004: I am not advocating government control or additional legislation regarding insurance companies. Merely a single payer program based on group plan philosophy. I do not owe any debt to Seniors, I owe them the same respect I extend to all. I did not create or enhance poverty. Veterans of which I am one have provided service to this country and yes we owe them a debt. As to free healthcare, another entitlement is not what we need in this country. You amuse me because you say government intervention is bad then propose a massive government program.
Answerman: While I have no love of insurance companies they are subject to constant frivolous litigation which rasies costs for all. I have made no specific diatribe against national health. I said it was burdensome on the taxpayers which it is. Additionally these systems are not as responsive or user friendly as the American health system.
