My thinking about Health care.
I am a believer in free enterprise with competition being a driving force...but regulated free enterprise.
1. Insurance companies should be required to allow anyone that can pay for their policy...without preconditions...to purchase a policy.
2. Insurance companies should be required to pay for whatever medical procedures your doctor/doctors determine you may need without...preconditions.
2. States regulate what insurance companies can operate within the State. This should not be allowed. All insurance companies...domestic and non domestic...should be allowed to operate across States...in all states.
3. If one is so poor that one cannot afford to purchase ANY private insurance from any insurance company then there should be government subsidized insurance available for purchase...with one having to pay whatever percentage of their income it is determined that they can afford to pay and still meet necessary needs.
4. All people...from 18 up...should be required to purchase either private insurance or public subsidized insurance.
5. The cost of medical procedures and medicines should be regulated...in a manner that would still encourage R&D.
I think when the dust settles...which would certainly take a period of time...this would be better than having a total socializtion of health care...which I am not in favor of.
