When questions on the health-care industry in the United States come up it seems that most agree change is needed. Most though are against the government running any type of socialized care, especially when we look at social security and medicare. Is the system actually broken? or is are morality and ethics causing all the concern? Really why should we care if someone loses everything they have worked all their lives to gain? In order for insurance companies, hospitals, and health-care workers to stay in business they have to be profitable wouldn't you agree?
Speaking morally and ethically say we don't want people to lose what they have worked all their lives for no matter how little or how much they have gained, those with the most usually will be able to afford health-care the problem is those in the middle class who have no insurance do to the high prices charged for coverage.
Ways to Make coverage more affordable in my opinion.
1st. Hospitals should be for treating the injured and ill. They should not
be for profit.
2nd. Those entering the health-care profession after working should be
given a five year grace period on any loans made to pay for their
schooling then be able to pay back the money at no interest.
3rd. Prices should be set by the government.
4th. All insurance billings will use the same forms and codes.
5th. All insurance premiums will be set on a tier system depending on
the income level of the insured.
6th. Good doctors will not be punished by high medical malpractice
insurance premiums do to those who are careless. Doctors who
have never had a complaint filed malpractice insurance will be set
at a low rate.
7th. Drug companies when releasing new drugs will be given longer
periods of exclusiveness on the drug. This will allow them to sell
the drug over a longer amount of time at a much lower price.
Who agree these things would be a good start, and who disagrees and why?
