Health care on Capitol Hill

Scottsdale – The Republicans have proposed 10 ideas for the President and the Democrats to consider (Source: Wall Street Journal). I have listed these for your eyes only! I agree with all these ideas. I also believe you should read the original article for yourselves by clicking on the link above. Here are the 10 ideas:

  1. Make insurance affordable.
  2. Make health insurance portable.
  3. Meet the needs of the chronically ill.
  4. Allow doctors and patients to control costs.
  5. Don’t cut Medicare.
  6. Protect early retirees.
  7. Inform consumers.
  8. Eliminate junk lawsuits.
  9. Stop health-care fraud. Save up to $120 billion each year.
  10. Make medical breakthroughs accessible to patients.

I believe the current health care bill in congress is bad for the country. It creates more spending (that we cannot afford), more bureaucracy, and more regulations that limits access and reduce the quality of health care. We need to start over!

These are good ideas that cost little to implement, could save the country lots of money, and will improve the system. I hope Congress can help us here. My only other suggestion would be to STOP making cheesy deals with unions and out-of-touch Senators that infuriate the American people. Only by working together and putting away political influence, can we reform the health care system so that it benefits us all!
