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!
