With the pending Health Care reform, what are the alternatives out there? In a perfect world the government would let the consumer and provider work out their differences, but that isn't going to happen any more.
Here is a simple idea I have: The government covers all cancer, heart procedures, diabetic, and ADD type disorders. These are far and away the most expensive costs to health care. Eliminate those expenses from the equation and health insurance would be significantly cheaper.
Or the government could pay a hospital within 100 mile radius where all non-insured, non-life threatening injured would be treated. Life threatening injured would be stablized and then transported to the Government run facility. Kind of like a VA hospital situation. This would also significantly reduce the costs associated with honest paying insured customers. (Yes, I believe it is dishonest to go to recieve some type of service with no intention of paying for the service.)
Any other ideas?
