Today’s health care problem:

Costs are going up too high and too fast; if this continues it will bankrupt the US.

What has contributed to this problem:

  1. Life expectancy has risen from 65 to over 80. Many seniors are living longer than were anticipated when the original costs were calculated.
  2. Doctors are discovering and implementing new life-saving tools, from DNA genome studies, organ transplants, new diagnostic approaches, and new and expensive drugs.
  3. There has been an increase in the use of hospital emergency departments which has always served as our default delivery system for universal care both as a result of mis-management and partially due to mishandling of our country’s illegal alien policies.

What needs to happen to solve the problem:

  1. A new approach to health care financing must be implemented. This system would reward individuals who pursue healthy lifestyles. A system, while not limiting any individual’s choice or behavior, will provide funding for the health care needed when injury arises from their participation in their chosen lifestyle. This will provide for immediate universal coverage, fiscal stability, and a lowering of the general pooled insurance premiums. Examples of such health care pools are:
    • a. A health-care premium would be collected with the purchase of products which cause injury such as fireworks that would be restricted and could be used only for a fireworks related injuries.
    • b. A health-care premium would be collected with the lift ticket that would cover skiing.
    • c. A health-care premium would be collected with the sale of guns and ammunition which could only be used for gun related injuries.
    • d. A health-care premium would be collected from the adult entertainment industry that would cover the costs of sexually transmitted diseases.

    Your standard insurance would still cover your trip to the doctor, but only risktakers would pay into the separate system that covers the injuries associated with that activity.

  2. We need to implement the suggested direction of allowing more freedom for small businesses to pool their respective employees into larger groups.
  3. We must improve transparency of costs and options to our patients.
  4. We should take advantage of our taxation system that would provide a financial benefit to those parents who properly present their children on time to be evaluated for possible immunization. Parents who demonstrate such responsibility should receive their full deduction while parents who do not should receive a lower deduction with the difference in their return being specifically reserved to cover the health care costs of the infectious diseases that would have been prevented by immunization.
