What a Plan

The President unveiled his Healthcare Plan last night…well sort of. He wasn’t very specific on how he plans to accomplish all he proposes. He used phrases like, “We need to find a way” on a few occasions. When he did offer concrete examples of things that could be done he borrowed things that have been proposed before. He used the Mayo Clinic as an example of how we could cut some cost. They of course are a hospital in the private sector that has managed to cut cost through innovation, not through government intervention. He also admitted to that it will cost about 2 Trillion Dollars in the next 10 years. The math works out to about $66,000 per person or about $6600.00 per person per year. The average person sees a doctor 3 times a year. That comes to $2200.00 per visit.
Does this really sound like it is reducing the cost of healthcare?

Healthcare cost can be reduced by ending frivolous lawsuits which skyrocket the cost of malpractice insurance. Developing Co-Ops so small businesses can pool resources, making plans more affordable. Also offer a lower corporate tax rate on all companies that produce drugs and medical equipment Etc. The U.S. has the 2nd highest corporate tax rate in the world. Finally stop illegal aliens; oh I’m sorry I mean undocumented workers from gaining access to our healthcare system.

The answer is not, nor will it ever be government. If you don’t believe me ask Canadians how happy they are with their healthcare.
