Healthcare Reform

The government measures healthcare by how many people are insured but that is not an adequate measurement to the quality or availability of healthcare.   Our healthcare system does need reform but universal healthcare and the bills introduced in Congress do not promote reform in fact they do the exact opposite.  Government healthcare is a direct attack on freedom and infringement of our rights as well as our personal relationship with our doctor.   

So what are the solutions, based on Constitutional and free-market principles?  Below are the solutions doctors want and that our government officials know will work.  So why aren’t they talking about these changes?  Review the videos below to find out why.

1) Tort Reform - Eliminate the need for doctors to order unnecessary procedures to protect themselves, and allow them to do what they do best… practice medicine!

2) Intrastate Competition - Giving people the freedom to choose health insurance from anywhere in the United States will increase competition, and at the same time decrease the cost of insurance.

3) Eliminate Cost Shifting - If Government only has to pay $10 for a procedure that costs $15 then the unpaid money has to be paid somehow… guess who gets to pay the extra $5? The private side.

4) Reduce Fraud - Only in a government program is there waste that would kill any free enterprise business. I recently read that the state of New York has a 15 billion dollar deficit… 15 billion dollars. While reading a different article I read that medical fraud in the state of New York was ESTIMATED to be right around 15 billion dollars! Just think, if they would work to eliminate he fraud, the state of New York would be in the black. Government has no motivation to investigate fraud, since their budget allocations are based on prior spending. The taxpayer pays a heavy price for this neglect. Private companies have a vested interest in keeping fraud in check, since fraud adversely affects their bottom line profitability.

5) Equal Plan Treatment - Tax law needs to be changed to treat individual plans the same way that it treats group plans. Either tax group plans, or give individual plans the same tax break.

In 10 short years, the number of people over 65 will double. The system will be bankrupt. Yes, we need to act to fix healthcare insurance, but you cannot fix a broken government program with a bigger government plan. We need to privatize and apply Constitutional and free market principles to the Government programs that are destined to bankrupt our great country.
