Healthcare Solutions Part II

As I write this I am thankful to have the opportunity to be watching the Jon Stossel documentary on Health care in America. LOVE IT!!!

It's exactly what I've been saying for 2 years now.

Everyone in America's caught this "Government healthcare like in Canada/Europe" fever. Everyone in America now thinks it's the government's job and our right to free health care.

Well, free is a misnomer folks. People in Europe and Canada pay taxes up the rear end. You think our taxes are high now? Just you wait.

And if we do get that system, the "Medicare for all" as Ralph Nader and Ted Kennedy call it, then you'll have the opportunity to see just how much longer Europeans wait in line for a routine doctors visit or how many more weeks or months they have to wait for a procedure/surgery.
Watch C-Span on Wednesday night. You'll see British Prime Minister Gordon Brown get hammered by the other parties over wait times for doctors and lack of hospital beds. That's what government health systems bring you. Long wait times and poor quality of care.


Our quality of healthcare is the highest in the world. No doubt in my mind.

And let's stop having health insurance through our jobs. Does it really make sense? If you lose your job, you lose your coverage.

Again, the solution is this: Individual health insurance, which will drive down the costs because the companies will have to compete for your business. And only have insurance for serious health issues. Anything other than surgery should be paid for by funds in a health savings account which would roll over from year to year.

Don't let Michael Moore and Hillary Clinton turn us into Europe.
