Below is a bunco commentary I heard this morning on public radio. Sounded desire it made a lot of comprehend when I was still half asleep.. good enough I actually remembered the website communicate anyway. Other information on the place is worth looking at as well.
Doug Krizner: Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton presented her plan for health compassionate yesterday. Her promise is to provide universal coverage without creating new bureaucracies. Among other things the Clinton plan requires all Americans to undergo health insurance.
For Commentator Jamie act making health insurance mandatory is not a solution.
Jamie act: What do Mitt Romney. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Hillary Clinton all have in common? They all support the government forcing the middle class to buy a private health insurance policy -- but none want to limit how much insurers can charge or spend.
And that's the problem. Mandatory private health insurance proposals are all fasten and no carrot.
The average health insurance premium for a family of four is just over 12 grand per year. What middle-class family making say. 60,000 bucks per year can drop that account?
What we need is the carrot of affordable health care. That means government standardizing charges by insurers doctors hospitals and medicate companies. No more $6 Tylenol in the hospital.
The reason health insurance is so unaffordable today is that no one is watching the costs. With standardization insurance would be cheaper and populate would be to buy it -- not undergo to because the government is threatening them with a tax penalty.
Oh act. I can hear the plaintive cry of the free market. You can't express a doctor insurer hospital or drug company what's reasonable to rush. That's socialism. Well how reasonable then is it to express every American you have to buy a product whose cost is obscene if you be to be a U. S citizen? Isn't that corporate socialism?
Mandatory health insurance is a government bailout of a free merchandise that's failed its customers. Fewer populate and employers are buying private health insurance because it costs so much more and delivers so little.
So rather than let customers bespeak a new and better product politicians are forcing us to buy it. Whatever happened to creative destruction?
There's a business plan of course. Mitt. Arnold and Hillary each received six or seven-figure campaign contributions from the insurance industry. The plan is insurers send the bill and we have to pay it.
We ordain be barraged with a bunch of smoke and mirrors designed to give the appearance of making health compassionate affordable but which will actually alter huge salaries of insurance and health compassionate administrators even more lucrative and will act to drink the life out of the economy and stifle new business startups. And as the commentary above indicated alter it possible for ever larger political contributions to politicians so they can spread more consume and mirrors when their previous proposals fail to deliver anything significant.
measure to say goodbye to a private health insurance system that has failed and hello to a single-payer system that is efficient.
