A New Health Care Solution
For the last couple decades our country has faced a huge problem that has been getting bigger every year, health care.
The cost of insurance has spiraled out of control to the point where companies can no longer afford to offer benefits and the average individual can't pay the premiums.
A family would have to pay hundreds a month, in many cases more than rent, making it the largest expense they face.
The insurance industry has made moves to save themselves money, but it sure doesn't seem that those savings are being passed on and the medical profession hasn't shown any interest in making their services less expensive.
Medical insurance is a big issue every election year and we hear stories on the news all the time, but remedies never go past talk.
It is estimated that 7 out of 10 Americans are either under insured or completely uninsured leaving us in a crisis.
Our country has the best medical care in the world available, but millions of people are putting off doctor visits and procedures simply because they can't afford the bill.
Not only does this effect a persons quality of life in the short term but also can lead to much bigger, more expensive problems in the future.
I know because I was one of these people.
After years of putting things off because I could hardly pay the bills I already had, my health started to deteriorate.
The bills were going to be bigger than they would have been several years before but if I took care of things at that time I could be facing a large debt.
In 1948 President Truman made the first push for universal health care in our country.
Since that time It has been used as a campaign promise & attempts have been made to make national health coverage a reality, but very few bills ever even make it out of committee.
The truth is that if you are waiting for our government to fix the problem you could be waiting for a very long time.
I believe that if a real solution is to come it wont be from Washington but from a private company that finds a way to develop a plan the millions of uninsured Americans can afford.
Personally I feel the private sector would do a better job than Uncle Sam.
Our Government has a reputation for creating large, inefficient bureaucracies that fall short of expectations and cost more than predicted.
A private company has to survive but also offer a good product people can afford.
