Health Care
I believe every American is ENTITLED to health care. The government is supposed to “provide for the general welfare”. What more general welfare is there? I have a plan, it is more detailed than my plan to deal with Iran. It is multifaceted. It may seem a bit harsh at first and I will be spelling it out over the next few days. Today will be part one.
HEALTH CARE PART 1
I feel the first step towards being able to provide health care is to reform our courts. We need realistic tort reform. Doctors are not perfect, thats why they call it the practice of medicine. While they should be held accountable for any blatant screw ups, such as leaving a scalpel in someones abdomen, they shouldn’t be expected to be held accountable for everything. There should be limits on monetary awards for damages. This will help lower the cost of medical care making it an easier fiscal pill to swallow.
I live in Illinois, where at least all our kids have health care. Thanks to our Governer, Rod Blagojevich. The governator, Arnold Schwarzenneggar announced California is going to do the same thing. There are no examples of states with governer’s names like Smith or Jones or I certainly would have used them. If these two states can manage to do this much the Feds should be able to do better. But, how do we pay for it? That will be the subject of my next rambling.
Anyone who reads this might wonder how I would accomplish anything with no political party affiliation. Won’t the Democrats and the Republicans both be out to see that I fail? Maybe, but I would have one very powerful tool, the people. And the people have 2 very powerful tools: their voice and their vote. I believe some dead president wrote something like…a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. (This is where, in my t.v. ad, you would see the flag waving and hear a choir singing “America” in the background with, of course, MY picture superimposed)
I’m sure trial lawyers will not like this part of my plan. So?
Thanks
