Eric,

I agree that Government REGULATION does need to be in involved and setting minimal reasonable standards/requirements/rules. These Regulations also need to allow for cross state transfer/purchase of health care systems, and place the policy under the ownership of the insured, not the employer. In free enterprise, a demand results in a service, but allowing companies to discriminatory or prejudice about who they accept (cherry picking) is wrong and should be eligible in the regulation.

Limiting profit for a necessary service might not be a bad idea, but it goes against the republics position of a free enterprise company. If you put a cap on health care how do you not extend it to food and fuel as well, or keep those companies from becoming incorporated outside the US and hiding the profits?

Yes we spend more here, because of the massive research effort we put into curing the incurable, and trying to give those suffering longer more comfortable lives. A lot of the drug research paid for here help the rest of the world, and in those countries limiting profit or fixing prices, they will have a lower % of GDP. Not that I think the numbers are right or should be higher or lower, but demand will drive the research, and thus more expenditures.

If you force everyone to be covered, how do you do that without the government taking it over? I think there might be a way in making health care premiums 100% tax deductible, and if you don't claim the deduction, a fee/fine/tax being imposed might be the safest and simplest way.

As for Medicare, it's been an entitlement too long for anyone to do anything quickly. By making insurance companies compete and cover everyone regardless of the illness/etc, it might be possible to phase out of Medicare, with say those born after year 19XX?

God bless you,
Will
