America’s doctors, procedures and expertise are envied everywhere and people travel from worldwide to receive care from our state-of-the-art facilities. Other than Japan, we have the highest survival rates for all types of cancers and other diseases because our free market system and teaching hospitals that encourage learning, innovative technology and expansive business modules, something that is ultimately healthy for everyone.  

 

Why, then, is our health and Medical system failing at such a rapid rate and what can and should be done to fix it?

  

 

1) The answer is NOT to give our system to the Government to fix.  Why on earth would we hand our most personal decisions over to this greedy group of irresponsible men and women when they’ve proven to us, time and time again that they cannot be trusted with Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, the Banking industry, Housing Industry, Auto Industry (pretty much anything the Obama Administration, Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, Tim Geithner and his unpaid taxes, Chris Dodd and his ridiculous house in Ireland, Harry ‘let’s protect the sex offenders’ Reid and the rest of the embarrassing idiots in Washington…including the crack-smoking, bi-sexual, long-legged, mack daddy racist anti-american Obama himself! And for Harry Reid to claim huge profits, obviously he’s been smoking the lawn and doesn’t know a damn thing about running a business. Good grief, this guy has been parked at the government teat for decades.

 

Rather than hand our personal decisions to this greedy group of swine, it should stay in the private sector with the following set of initiatives to take place:

 

1) IMMEDIATE TORT REFORM MUST TAKE PLACE.  All disputes between patients and physicians must be negotiated between a mediation panel. In the open.

 

2. Drugs to be available for generic prices through bulk purchase and cost negotiations, mail order, available for Medicare also.

 

3. Insurance policies must be tied to individuals/families, not employment. Also must be portable.

 

4. Insurance policies must carry across state lines without penalty, offer tax deductability and extra tax incentives for families and individuals who take advantage of flexible spending portions of the Tax Code (such as the Section 125, MSA, FSA, HSA, etc)

 

It’s important to note that the Press has been throwing several ‘uninsured’ numbers out there and they’re inaccurate. Usually they’re anywhere preaching in the neighborhood of 44-47 million which is ridiculous as they’re including illegals and children, neither of which should be counted. Children are insured under state insurance plans and paid for with state taxes and regardless of personal feelings, illegal aliens are not entitled to our insurance coverage although they do tend to frequent our emergency rooms with regularity. (which may explain why they are closing at an alarming rate throughout America. lack of funding) The truthful number of uninsured in America is closer to 16 or 17 million and many of them are due to one of four reasons:  1) in the process of filling out medicare paperwork 2) in between jobs or starting a new job and in that ‘3 month waiting period‘ 3) want insurance but also have a tight budget and choose to spend it on other things 4) young and healthy, choose to remain uninsured.  

 

This is personal, and the ultimate in free market America – something we cannot afford to allow out of our control – if you have any doubts as to how miserable the care would be for the average hard working tax payer, go hang out in your VA office on a typical Monday morning. see how happy those people look. see how the nurses and physicians look.

That’s our futures if we don’t stop this.
