HEALTHCARE REFORM

| February 4, 2010 8:00 PM

Several political leaders have declared that with the loss of the 60 seat Democrat majority in the US Senate that healthcare reform is dead. I certainly hope they are incorrect as there are important changes that still need to be resolved under the heading of healthcare reform. As a reminder here are some starters for reasonable healthcare reform: 1) End disqualification because of pre-existing conditions; 2) End lifetime maximum for coverage; 3) Prohibit the rationing of healthcare due to a person’s age; 4) Fix the waste and fraud in the federal plans of Medicaid, Medicare, VA, and Indian Health programs; 5) Allow interstate selling of medical insurance; 6) Allow people to choose the coverage and deductibles they need (like care insurance); 7) Enact reasonable tort reform and; 7) Mandate uninsured poeple must purchase medical insurance if available from their employer AND if it is at a reasonable cost.
