My Healthcare solution

As the healthcare debate and the politics continue to be debated with the new “bill” out of the senate. People have gotten so engrossed in the horserace and the political game of this that they are forgetting the reality.

So lets have some reality lets start with this truth:

HEALTHCARE DOESN’T NEED REFORMING!

All Americans and even non Americans have access to healthcare, it’s called the emergency room. You might wait but you will get care and it is illegal for it to be not given. All of this is a red herring.

Now that doesn’t mean that the costs are not an issue, they are. That can be address in three simple ways for this to be addressed, this is my “health care plan”.

1. Remove the barriers to insurance crossing state lines.

This would make for a political battle, state pols have interests in keeping them up but it inflates costs. Drop the walls for coverage over state lines and costs will drop like a rock.

2. Tort Reform:

Again it would be resisted by big law but Tort Reform would be huge for reducing costs and retaining talented doctors. Remember a person intelligent enough to be a doctor is likely smart enough to make money a dozen different ways that involve less legal risk.

Both of those address costs but what about medical delivery? Glad you asked.

3. Sponsored “free” clinics

We Create a small system of Free clinics in the areas that need them the most. Those “free” clinics become the primary care physicians for the uninsured. The price of coverage is made to equal a “co-pay” that insurance would provide. They are staffed by New Doctors and Nurses just out of school. Doctors give 2 years and Nurses 1 as part of the licensing program. In return for those years the government either excuses or guarantees the 1 or 2 years of the college costs for those doctors and Nurses (The compensation based on the price of said education in the year 2000 adjusted for the national inflation rate) This would dramatically reduce costs by diverting care from emergency rooms and the price of said clinics would be considerably less than this bill.

There you go, no 2000 pages. I bet if we wrote the legalese out it would take under 200. You want an actual solution to reducing costs while giving people quality healthcare there you have it and not a death panel in sight!

Maybe we should ask Dorene Wilson…

…about death panels and government recommendations:

“If I had waited until I was 50, I would be dead,” said Dorene Wilson, a Waterford Township mother of three who was diagnosed with breast cancer Sept. 11 at age 42.

Well that’s government recommendations for you.

I’ve noticed that Morning Joe makes a point to avoid the word “Government”

…when describing the government sponsored report concerning Mammograms. In addition via Glenn the Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen (we “Catholics” love Abortion) Sebelius says ignore it:

“Our policies remain unchanged,” she said of the federal government. ” Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action.”

I wonder why she would be surprised? The government issues “guidelines” concerning health and companies to ignore them when those guidelines can save them money? What planet does she live on?

If the health plan was passed you think the government bureaucrats that would be running the plan would be ignoring it? RedState Elaborates:

Who here thinks that an insurance company already grimly aware that they exist on governmental sufferance might feel the need to ‘change its mammography coverage decisions’ to reflect current state medical policy? Particularly if there are consequences for not being in compliance with all the laws, regulations, rulings, and opinions that bureaucracies generate more or less automatically.

And republicans congressmen have noticed too.

But Republicans are drawing parallels between the advisory panel recommendations and so-called “comparative effectiveness efforts” that would be employed under Democratic health plans to control skyrocketing costs. The idea is that panels would study different treatments would be studied to determine which are the most effective.

Panels? Hmmm what KIND of panels.

Jayden Capewell could not be reached for comment.

It’s not the government says Dr. Nancy…

…because if the breast cancer report came from a GOVERNMENT report then that would be 50,000 women the government would condemn to cancer and death.

Here is the question if the health care plan had already passed would this be a “death panel’ for them.

Apparently it’s not a deal panel if it isn’t killing you.

Oh and it’s a hoot to watch Dr. Nancy on Morning Joe to talk about rationally spending money for the best return when they are going wild on “going green” and the person who has gotten a ton of green out of it is Al Gore.

The fact that this is coming out at the start of Sarah Palin’s book tour is irony and in my mind yet another indirect proof.
