The Right Rx For Healthcare


The hottest topic on everyone's lips lately is healthcare reform. The most discussed proposal is HR 3200 (because the Senate hasn't formulated one yet, though they're out peddling it). And it appears the more that is revealed about this atrocity of a bill...the more the citizenry is in opposition. (Probably the most pernicious tactic of the administration is to label the truthful revelation of the elements of the bill as 'myths'...but they indeed are not.)

Putting aside the fact that the majority of people are happy with their current healthcare (80% in CNN poll), the majority do desire some changes...and here are the answers to the healthcare questions that would work for a free-market society, such as ours:
Malpractice Insurance Reform (Tort reform).
Allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines, as we allow with auto insurance, which permits competition, which in turn creates a consumer-friendly milieu and would allow people to keep the same insurance from job to job.
Allow the purchase of al a carte insurance, which can only be accomplished when the government relinquishes control over private insurance.
These are the right reforms for a free-market system and a free people, which has become burdened by an invasive government...release the federal tentacles...and all will be well (pun intended).

Many have become sick of how our elected leaders have molded an intrusive system...but if any form of this lethal bill is passed...we will truly know what sick is...if we make it that far (no myth, page 425).
