Was not really targetted at you...




Yes, I have a better suggestion.  Here it is:



1) Do away with HMO's.  They were created by  government madates and have basically ruined the market establishing monopolies basically. 


2) Bring back the tax breaks for individuals who purchase their own plans.  Right now, businesses get all those tax breaks.  This system has basically killed the private market for healthcare, and driven the price through the roof.


3) Stop trying to regulate the price.  The price will work itself out, but it has to be allowed to do this.  Healthcare companies are in it to make money, stop subsidizing them and let them compete with each other in the individual private market.



I have no problem with everyone having healthcare, I have a problem with government providing everyone with healthcare.  If we can reestablish the private market that the government killed with the creation of the HMO then we will see real progress.  Until then, all we have is more government meddling in a government created problem.
