Let me say the following first. I dont support Obama. I didnt vote for him. That being said I have a few things to state about health care in this country. First it is a complicated issue but one we have to adress and i dont mean in 4 years but now. I count myself lucky. I get my care through the VA because I served in the military. Today my girlfriend took our Neighbor to Dallas to see her Doctor well there was a problim He wont see her. He wont take her insurance. So now she has to find a new doctor.
This situation is not that rare, I wish it was but it is a growing problim in this country. The Question is how to fix it. I am NOT in favor of a one payer system i.e. goverment run. My Idea would be 1.To grant tax deductions for people who make enough to file taxes if they get health insurance. 2.Have the health insurance companys Set up large group rate plans for those people who are self employed or work for small companies. So that the Companys and those self employeds costs can be reduced. 3 Lawsuit reform. One of the biggest costs to doctors is malpractice insurance. The way you can file a lawsuit for anything needs to change. So that groundless suits will stop. Lawsuit reform is one thing the Federal gov can and must do. That alone will bring down health care costs. But it is not all we can do. We have to tell the politicans in Washington we have to fix this and not with a Big goverment Run health giant.
