Healthcare Solution: Plain and Simple
People are bitching about "Obamacare," as they call it. A major sticking point is whether it's OK to require people to purchase insurance. So to get around that, here's what we do. They can either buy insurance or sign an opt-out form. Once that form is on file, they can be denied treatment, even in emergencies, if they can't prove ability to pay for the services. This could be a boon for the surety bond business, if done right. Give people a choice, and let the consequences affect them directly, without it costing any taxpayer dollars. Plain and simple, like I said. Though the "smart" folks up in Washington will never go along.

5 People had something to say...how 'bout you?:
I like it!
But what if one cannot afford insurance? Have you seen how much independent insurance costs?
Kat, I believe that under the provisions of the health care reform, those people don't have to pay. I don't know where they draw the line; but I do believe there is a provision to cover that. I think that it also is supposed to make the government-backed insurance more affordable as well.
My friend Shosh wrote a great piece on this very topic. Check it out here: http://shoshwrites.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/how-much-is-health-worth/
I'll check it out. My kids have insurance but I make too much for me to get aid with it. That's what they told me when I first went on unemployment! It's crazy.
