Health Care Reform: Putting Patients First

Americans have the best doctors, the best hospitals, the most innovative medical technology, and the best scientists in the world. Our challenge and opportunity is to build around them the best health care system. We believe the key to real reform is to give control of the health care system to patients and their health care providers.

There are reasons why American families and businesses are dissatisfied with the current state of health care:

* Most Americans work longer and harder to pay for health care.

* Dedicated health care providers are changing careers to avoid litigation.

* The need to hold onto health insurance is driving family decisions about where to live and work.

* Many new parents worry about the loss of coverage if they choose to stay at home with their children.

* The need – and the bills – for long-term care are challenging families and government alike.

* American businesses are becoming less competitive in the global marketplace because of insurance costs.

* Some federal programs with no benefit to patients have grown exponentially, adding layers of bureaucracy between patients and their care.

It is not enough to offer only increased access to a system that costs too much and does not work for millions of Americans. Our goal is more ambitious: Better health care for lower cost.

Do you disagree with any of it?

Yes. It is not about putting patients first at all. It is about a huge give away to their core base. (The lower middle class and poor) And the others to foot the bill. It is all about giving the power to the Feds of controlling one fifth of our Gross national product. This control will be done a huge new Federal cumbersome expensive bureaucracy that will be headquartered in Washington D.C. where politicians will eventuallykeep tweaking and adding onto it till it will strangle what is up till now a great health care system. A system that is the envy of the world. A system that the world comes to when they need the best medical care.

I'm not asking you about the drafts being considered by Congress.

I'm just asking you about the text in the first post. Do you agree or disagree with it?

Envy of the world?

I agree most of those are correct assumptions.
