I would like to see a system where EVERYONE pays something for healthcare.
I would like to see a system where people can tailor-make an insurance policy that is right for them (just like car insurance).
I would like to see a system where litigation is a little more under control.
I concur on three out of four of those points.
Re: your point #2—How about the folks (I deal with greatly with people who are chronically homeless: welfare single moms with children from multiple unions out of wedlock, drug/alcohol addicts, mentally ill wondering loose, and even drifters that just want to stay off the grid) who have no taxable income? They’re part of EVERYONE. Should we discontinue treating them, their kids? Or here in Flagstaff, AZ, should we let the drunk Indians freeze in the gutter when they pass out?
Where to draw the line is much simpler NOW, than if we group everybody together and force everyone with a taxable income to pay into one big pot, which the insurance companies would surely align themselves into if EVERYONE is forced to buy insurance.
We must resist this move to implement social medicine.
