Where Do I Start?
First, many good thoughts and opinions. I respect all and disagree with some. I have worked in health care for a long while and base my opinions on experiance and basic facts that affect this issue.
Second, America has the best healthcare in the world, but a very cloudy health insurance system. Costs in healthcare have increased due longer life expectancy, new technology, the need for increased number of trained staff, and a lack of personal respnibility to be healthy, etc. You cannot expect a heathcare system to provide a robotic hysterectomy, total hip replacement and multiple procedures on a seventy year old women that will now live until one hundred in extended hospice care ...... for the same price that a Dr. in 1940 would give some asprin and recomend moving in with her children. WE (all of us) expect alot for a little.
Third, the problem with the "Obamacare" health market or co-op is not the existance of that market itself. Republicans and even Dems have questioned why law prohibits insurance companies to create that market nation wide for years! The problem is that the federal government is in escence creating their own insurance provider. The Feds coverage will unfairly compete with privite companies. The Fed Gov is the authority that approves FDA drugs, grants hospitial licenses, OSHA approval, ETC. This Gov is now at the "insurance" healthcare market to bargin with healthcare providers (hospitials, Dr, drug companies). Who do you think gets listened to or with rule that market. Will other insurance be able to compete? No! The open healthcare market only works if the Fed is not involved.
