Health Care: Preserving the Good

Wednesday, the President stated that we can't cling to a broken (health care) system that does not work. That is not accurate. It is not broken and it does work for the 84% of us who are insured. While it could be improved by curtailing costs, it is still the best health care system in the world. This is why people from around the world come here for treatment. They flock here, even from Canada and the United Kingdom, because their systems are flawed and rationed and inferior to ours. These are the systems Congress seek to emulate.

Congress should seek to preserve all that is good in our system - not throw it away. Tort reform needs to be considered. This would reduce unnecessary CYA tests and lower malpractice insurance. This would then, in turn, lower medical costs. Fraud needs to be addressed. We need to offer coverage to the uninsured.

Do not bleed our health care with the rationing that must occur in a government run plan. We DO NOT want a government plan run with all the efficiencies of the DMV. A government run tax subsidized plan will eventually eliminate the private sector, because it can not compete with a subsidized plan.

Do not replace a good health care system with an inferior government run plan.


Signed,
The Electorate
