Who is Benefiting From One Trillion Dollars?
Ask yourself, who will recieve the one trillion dollars? Are we not just being taxed again, after paying for premium to the insurance industry? Is the cost of insurance due to this reform going to cost over $17,000 for family, and $6800 for single by 2013 ? Where is the cost reduction to the taxpayer, premium payer individual trying to make it? Are we just not paying more to the insurance industry and government for healthcare? Is this reform, or are we just being taxed and then forced to pay premium for healthcare coverage? Its OK to make the overhaul reform to healthcare and create the saving from the Medicaid and Medicare system whom has been mismanaged and needed reform. However, do we really need to immediately spend the saving in the same manner? What happen to freedom of choice? An alternative to pay minimum insurance premium and no more taxes, and have the communities business and local providers work together with communities centers and hospitals for their citizens that are uninsured? This is the 47million reasons model and I think we should look real hard at it before we end up paying way more for what we ask to be reduce, the cost of healthcare. Lets not spend one trillion dollars in the name of healthcare reform to only end up wondering where did all the money go with no idea who the recipients are, and what services are we really buying.

We the People vs. the Lobbyists
In today's Washington Post this article clearly shows the issues, " Health-Care Reform Will Test Obama's Resolve» Links to this article By Dan Balz Sunday, June 21, 2009", and on how lobbyists play a huge role in what will happen in healthcare reform. The issues are: Cost which continues to be the big issue. Then taxation, mandates, bipartisanship, the public option, and the game of politics for compromise with the lobbyists representatives, our Senators for healthcare reform. And when we reach out to Congress with other cost saving options, which do not agree with the lobbyist we are ignored. If the President has the ultimate decision in this healthcare reform, it’s time to open the door to "We the People" without special interest. The cost of insuring 47 millions can be achieved; $250 billion of the $634 billion set aside in 10 years is the catalyst to reality, if anyone cares to listen.
Why must we accept the lobbyists view points or compromise with the private industries whom has had the opportunity to fix the problem 15 years ago, and have lead us down this path of self destruction, and now America is in debt with foreign countries. Have we not learned anything these pass years in which greed has placed us all in this predicament, and above patriotism?
The healthcare system is not the only thing broken in this country. The biggest difference today versus the time of our fore fathers is American has been place second, to party and greed. We are first and foremost Americans. We must fix America's health and stop this political correct nonsense and do what is right for the American people. The questions we should be asking ourselves is:
1. What comes first Country or Party?
2. Do we really need insurance in everything we do in solving this healthcare issue?
3. Can we as citizens work directly with businesses and local medical providers?
4. Would the premium spend on insurance serve us better supporting our own community medical centers and hospitals?
5. What coverage is important to have insurance for, common flu or major illness?
6. Why can the HSA, have an option of an insurance plan that covers high deductibles starting at 25k to 100K which will have a very low cost and cover 100% thereafter for all major illness?
7. What is important: Access or Insurance?
8. Having a community center that provides basic healthcare services, wellness, and education and work with specialist and hospitals, is that possible?
9. Would providers work directly with community centers at special rates?
10. Why can't we have these center specifically for the uninsured, not for Medicaid, Medicare, VA, or those who can afford private insurance?
These questions have answers if everyone focuses on solving the problem. To try to fix the overall system to encompassing everything and everyone is too expensive and too many special interest groups are involved.
We the people of the uninsured, have falling from the system and are not eligible for any program currently offered. So this is the time to create our own model, apart from the broken system. We are a group of 47 Million whom every company in the insurance and healthcare industry wants to do business with. These industries are trying to demand the government to provide coverage at a cost of $1.6 Trillion dollars for them to cover us.
We can do it better. We have a model at a cost of $250 billion of the $634 billion set aside for healthcare reform. Why can't we have this option? It’s time to stand and let Congress know we have a plan we want for the uninsured. We are not interested in leaving a legacy of debt for our children and grandchildren to repay.
America Comes First!

Enough is Enough; it’s time to look outside the box for healthcare reform.
Are any of the experts looking outside the box for healthcare reform? In reading the Washington Post article “Will the Health Industry Derail Obama's Reforms?” the basic theme is the American people cannot resolve their own healthcare issues so government, AMA, Insurance Carriers, and special interest must offer a solution for the American people.
Since the government is willing to spend American taxpayers money and give it to these organization for a promise to provide a solution to take care of the 16 million uninsured at a cost of 1trillion dollars by offering a public plan, these organization protesting not about the cost but rather about the restrictions the public plan would impose on them.
The potential loss of private business, the constraints of payout to providers, the control shift from private to public, and the standard of care all become in question with this idea of public government plans. So the battle begins as it did back in 1993.
The government is currently offering three public plans, Medicaid, Medicare, Veterans Administration Healthcare, each with their pros and cons. So it is necessary to fix the problems in these government programs, and creating an efficient system prior to looking to expand or enter into another public plan. We must remember many of these public plans are administrated by private insurance carriers and the overbilling and fraud continues on these carriers watch of taxpayers’ money.
So what can we expect from the government or the healthcare and insurance industry? They have been working together for years and there have been no positive results. Is it because too many compromises are made in Washington, which results in public policy at the expense of the American people? Just the thought of the President considering mandating healthcare to the 47 million uninsured, is a windfall to the insurance industry and clearly demonstrate this point.
Enough is enough in allowing Washington to continue this narrow focus on solving healthcare problem through the taxpayers by paying the insurance industry, and healthcare industry for a broken healthcare system.
The government should be more in touch in what the American people want and need. The reality is clear of the 47 million uninsured, only 16 million will be insured at the cost of 1 trillion dollars. So what about the rest? If the government wants change then fix the problem by making AIG and the rest of the insurance industry offer stop-loss catastrophic policies which cover the major illnesses by placing a stop gap of 25K, 50K, 75K to the American uninsured which is a fraction of the cost of what is offered now. American wants protection of their major assets and wants policies that protect those assets in the event of major medical emergency.
The primary medical services can be provided on a community level. Many Doctors are now not accepting any insurance and offer affordable fees to their community in an effort to provide care for the uninsured. This is simple and provides access to the uninsured.
An expanded model exists of this simple concept, which shows from the grass roots how each community can service their own uninsured. All the government must do is to listen to the professionals whom are making a difference in their community. Listen to the American People whom want to protect their assets and willing to pay for premium that protect their assets if a major illness occurs, listen to insurance professional whom are tired of selling inferior insurance healthcare products that benefits no one but the industry and watch their client lose everything due to being under insured.
A solution exist which addresses the problem of the 47 million uninsured, apart of what already exist. It meets the Presidents requests with minimum government contribution, or insurance industry involvement. Let us have this model be an alternative for the American people in their own communities.
