Denton,
funny you should ask,
this is how you include those that don’t have medical coverage into the current system.
-start with tort reform; loser pays law like in the UK, no more frivilous law suits that run up defensive medicine costs and add billions to the yearly costs of healthcare.
-start opening up insurance competition to interstate competition, healthcare plans in Iowa competing with plans from Virginia, watch costs come down.
-address massive fraud in current Medicare/Medicaid system, it is in the billions yearly, stronger laws and penalties for all involved.
-expand Health Savings Accounts/Major medical plans, to put the buying power in the hands of the individual as well as the healthcare dollars. the beauty of this system is that you are rewarded for good health and not going to a doctor because you keep the money in your account, in your name to be rolled over yearly until medicare age. It’s your money , pre-tax.
-incentivize healthcare coverage for small employers who provide 80% of jobs with discounts and tax credits.
-stop paying the healthcare for people who are not citizens of this nation, encourage other nations to take responsibility for their citizen’s healthcare.
DH -i don’t know where to start there are so many interesting places in this country where you could probably move and not be totally bored. some ideas:
new orleans – granted i haven’t been since after the hurricane, but it was pretty fun down there. def not boring!
i prefer boulder, CO to denver. it’s smaller, prettier and feels less sprawling and mall-like to me.
i have a bunch of friends in nyc from atlanta, and they are all really cool. seems like it might be a fun place to live for a little while and save some $. most of them are into the nyc music scene and its big down there, though i haven’t been. speaking of a music scene nashville, TN is pretty cool and i also like austin, TX.
santa fe, new mexico is gorgeous, though i hear it’s a big addict recovery scene? also has an interesting art scene i think. could be fun.
oregon is also gorgeous. went to portland once and really like it, though it seems kinda small to me.
are there any other cities that you’ve been to that you like?
If it’s calorie laden, artery-hardening, full of butter, bacon or cheese…PD is the way to go!! I’m a new convert, can’t say I ever knew who she was until about a year ago!
