My Health Care Plan

If I were to spend a trillion dollars on health care, I would establish 10 thousand free clinics across the country. Each would have a budget of one million dollars for the next 100 years. At the end of that period, we should be able to come up with something better. Of course, you can play with those figures any way you want. Simple. No government interference with your lives.

That is way too simple and does not have nearly enough earmarks to work or pass through Congress.

It's as good a plan as any, I suspect, but, have you ever been to a free clinic?

The ones I've been to leave a lot to be desired. Like, for instance, personal medical care. You feel like you're a part on an assembly line. A cursory examination, possibly a prescription, and out you go. If you have any deeper health issues that can only be discovered by more in-depth analysis, good luck.

By the way, I've posted about three entries in a row about ObamaCare, which I think addresses a few of the drawbacks to his "pie-in-the-sky" health care proposals.

And then, I ripped your "What's in my Head" idea from you and posted a video.

I don't understand something...
why can't we do the same thing we did with car insurance that we did with health insurance.

When CA forced everyone to have car insurance the rate whent down and insurance quality went up. It was deregulated and things have been GREAT ever since.

What am I missing? Why haven't we done that with health insurance?

I laugh when I think of ObamaCare...no more medical malpractice and no more worker's compensation lawyers...my friends will have to move out of state who do that because there will not be enough divorces and slip and falls to keep them all busy when those two areas of law go out of business.

Like I said, you can play with the numbers. Cut the number of clinics to 5,000 and double their funding. Or cut the time for the program to 50 years and provide more funding that way.
