Health Insurance Reform:  (Ground Rules and Goals) 


Major Healthcare reform is necessary.   I will spend the next few weeks providing short to medium length editorial articles explaining why I believe that major reform, some painful, is necessary.    I will cite specific and sometimes personal examples of what is wrong with the current system.   While I have a bias, and make my living off the existing system,  I will do my best to try and ignore my personal interests.   


 


If anyone finds in fact checks, an inaccuracy, you are encouraged to write a comment.  I will check it out, and if you are right,  I will post your criticism and my answer. 


 



  • Is major Healthcare reform necessary?   Unequivocally Yes.   
  • What should healthcare reform accomplish?  Any bill should address all these issues.

    • Mandatory coverage for every US Citizen. No Exceptions.
    • Mandatory acceptance for all applicants.
    • Reduce the costs for healthcare.
    • Incent and make routine care for all American’s. 
    • Tort reform to reduce C.Y.A. mentality of practitioners.
    • Keep a level playing field for all businesses both locally and nationally and internationally in relation to healthcare cost mandates.
    • Provide Subsidies for lower income individuals.
    • Freedom of individuals to choose the provider and level of coverage that they are most comfortable with. 
    • Elimination of the World Subsidy for their healthcare.  
    • A doctor’s decision on what type of healthcare you need.
    • Do not assume that a political board overseeing the program will be immune from the influence of special interest groups.  Assume they will.      

While I 100% support President Obama’s desire for MAJOR reform, I do not believe that it should be done hastily.
