What exactly does Barack Obama’s Health Care Reform entail? The President makes it clear he wants every American to have affordable health care. But how do families living in and below the low-income to poverty-level afford health care when they currently rely government-provided free food and medical services? So, who will be foot the health care reform bills of those individuals? President Obama insists that with his plan, you will have the choice of keeping your current doctor but that you will also have more options available with the health care reform. President Barack Obama’s 2010 budget for his Health Care Reform designates $635 billion over a ten-year period, to assist with financing the health care reform plan. With Barack Obama’s Health Care Reform plan, he intends to develop competition among Health Care Provider Agencies rather than allowing large Health Care Insurance companies monopolize the market. President Obama and his Health Care Reform plans to also lower expenses while at the same time raising the level of care quality. Within this week or so, President Obama plans to explain and define his elusive Health Care Reform details.

Reform, what is reform, what seems to be presented is a new way of providing not reform. While I believe a lot of folks want lower cost, new coverage methods may not be answer. At present no matter if you have coverage or not if you go to a hospital in need of care they must take care of you. Today’s ER are more like doctor’s office where one gets care for minor illness. The costs for this care plus the major care for those unisured are born not by the hospital but those who pay for service. As with other business all customers share the cost of business, and the cost of business here is the unisured
We need to address those who are not insured, illegals and others who increase the costs. A pool of monies for each hospital to care for these, or to claim for their care and maybe the hospital would not have to share the burden with us thereby lowering costs
The True Goal

We won’t have reform until we get the for-profit companies out of the system. “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” We can’t have liberty or happiness without life. The government has a duty to provide medical care. 45,000 people die each year without care. That’s 15 9/11s. We’ve spent trillions on the wars, but we can’t spend 1 trillion on our own that are dying from lack of care. That’s wrong.
