I think we all know by now, the Obama health care overhaul went nowhere. Despite being well intentioned, it was ill conceived and overreaching.
The quality and innovation of the American health care system needs to stay intact. The cost to people to utilize the system needs to come down. This should be done through free market principles not socialist ones.
The government’s role should be that of an oversight agency to prevent the abuses that have been allowed to occur to the benefit of a few and the detriment of many. (Wall Street anyone?) The government should not be competing with private entities.
The three main sources of the health care problems are the malpractice lawyers, the doctors themselves and the insurance companies. The list is in ascending order of culpability with the first two causing <5%> 95%.
Over the next several weeks I will address what those three groups need to do to correct things. The motivation for this will not come from within, but must come from the government and the people who elect them.
