Our healthcare system does have flaws, LARGELY due to lawyers and insurance companies.

The benchmark still remains - MORE people come to AMERICA for their healthcare, than go to Canada, the UK, Cuba or anywhere else for healthcare.

Actually, the flaws are due to government involvement and regulations on both the providers of healthcare and on the insurance companies. Our government has created the problem and now wants total control so they can fix it.

Let insurance companies offer any package of coverage that the purchaser wants.

Let insurance companies offer insurance across state lines.

Limit tort liabilities and attorney fees. Must go before a panel of experts. Get ‘emotional’ juries out of the equation.

Reduce government regulations of healthcare. The majority of the cost increases in helathcare have been due to regulatory compliance that offer no value to the delivery of healthcare.

Eliminate unions in helathcare settings.

The insurance companies, and even the lawyers, are relative bit players in the larger problem.

It's the government that is the problem, yet the government parades around in drag, pretending to be the solution.
