HEALTHCARE PLAN IS ROLLING


Long ago I voiced my recommendations to help fix the health system in this country. My words fell on deaf ears until Mitt Romney in Massachusetts called for UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE.

He did not mean SOCIALIZED MEDICINE as in Europe and Canada; those systems I have explained countless times are failing and should not be embraced here.

No he specifically called for MANDATORY HEALTH COVERAGE; you must have health insurance just like you must have auto insurance.

No Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California has called for the same proposal to be enacted in his state. I am starting to like that guy and his views, too bad he cannot run for president.

Briefly, the plan would allow many competing health insurance policies with a variety of options at various prices from the lowest priced to the deluxe, something for every wallet.

Medicaid would still be available for the poor and Medicare for the elderly. The state would also subsidize those who are “working poor” with kids who need help.

In my thinking, eliminating the uninsured would eliminate the high cost of treating them (legally you have to treat them) when they use the emergency room (highest cost of treatment) for every little ill.

In this way, preventive medicine could actually be practiced on the currently uninsured and the insured would not have to be burdened with ever increasing insurance premiums in an effort to pay for the uninsured.

The Terminator does it again.
