I want three things from a comprehensive health care reform bill.
1. Affordable. Health care needs to be affordable for all.That means no more lost houses, no more bankrupt businesses because somebody gets sick. No more problem getting needed health care because of money or insurance.
2 Accessible. Any body can access the system as needed.
3. Choice of care provider for all. Everybody can go to who they want for health care.If the unimpeded free market can deliver that then that's we should do. If a single payer fee for service system can do that, then that's what we should do. If a two tiered system of both public and private financing can do that, then two Americas is a small price to pay for a health care system that works, at least to some degree for everyone, I suppose
But to limit the debate at this point based on ideology instead of efficacy is wrong.
If the Two Americas approach is best, let it stand on it's own two feet and show us why it's better than the Oliver Twist system or the Canadian style system.

The proposal for an employment based hi bred public/private system is at the url/
I'm opposed. I think it can be proved that a tax based single payer fee for service system will provide much better outcomes for the country as a whole. Sure there will be some Insurance executives who don't like it, i know. But for the sake of the country, they will need to sacrifice. Like our soldiers have.
