You Want A Quality Healthcare Product?

It's all wrong. The congress is approaching the healthcare reform problem from a political standpoint. Ok, I know congress is political. That's part of what is wrong with the whole picture. If I'm a Democrat, I have to vote for whatever is out there, even if I don't know what is in it. If I'm a Republican, I must vote against whatever is out there. That is because the whole idea was initiated by a Democrat who happens to be the president.

You want a program that has a chance of working? Here is how we get it. Congress must design a healthcare reform package for themselves. Scrap their current healthcare program. They must all go on the new program. The president must join it. All members of congress must join it. They have to pay the same premiums that we do. They have to use whatever medical facilities that we do. They will be the first ones to join the plan. What will happen if they do this? We will get a healthcare package that is affordable and contains good quality care.

What if they just continue as they are? We will get a healthcare package that most likely will be very costly and won't work. Hit the politicians in their pocketbooks and you will get meaningful results.
