Because of the various scandals, be they true or not true they have nevertheless consumed an indefinite amount of time in our Congress. Such that they are now canceling votes, rather than moving ahead on legislative order of business. And as a Nation, our own discussions are geared towards these scandals and the implicated parties rather than moving ahead. Beyond Health Care Reforms, there are other important issues paramount to the success of America in the 21st century: -Revitalizing American Infrastructure and American roads. -Reinforcing American Education and improving the quality of Education. -Strengthening our families and communities. -Creating jobs and opportunities for Americans, which will benefit everyone. -Generally, generating the kind of wealth that we lost out on for the last two decades. Here and now, I will propose proposals on all of the issues facing our country. Neither as a Conservative nor a Liberal, having eschewed those philosophical standpoints forever. Nor am I a Trumpie. I'm a Fascist-Technocrat, I believe in the ultimate synergy of and utilization of all of the country's resources to create the best living conditions possible for all people. First, Health Care Reform and how to Fix Health Care: -I want to introduce the Double-Tier model. https://www.superbrokers.ca/library/glossary/terms/two_tier_healthcare.php Singapore and New Zealand have the Double-Tier model and very basically it would incorporate both public and private health care. For those who want public care(for example, the ACA). I can say that it won't change. Yes, I can make that promise by moving from single to double-tier. This simple change alone would solve a lot of problems. Including our long-awaited desire to abolish the anti-American mandate. We don't mandate things in America. Americans believe in freedom, so do I. So no more mandate. -Age Brackets: Child(0-13), Teen/Young Adult(13-30), Adult(30-), Preexisting conditions. Let's get this out of the way: One-size fits all is a total and complete failure. You cannot fit everyone into the health care system, it's impossible. There's only so many services available, and "pooling" costs end up making it more expensive for the consumer. If everyone is to truly have coverage, we have to acknowledge that not everyone needs the same coverage and not everyone has the same medical needs. I instead propose to segregate the health market into age brackets, and it'll be required law that only that which is needed to treat the patient is a part of an insurance plan. Inefficiency and waste will disappear as the plans themselves are targeted. And because the groups are segmented, the costs have gone down. Also because the groups are segmented, the costs have been controlled and this means the subsidies for preexisting conditions/poor can be more easily handed out and stabilized over the life of the new program. -Get rid of the "Stay until you're 26" provision, I have a better idea. Family Plans are expensive: https://resources.ehealthinsurance....ct/much-health-insurance-cost-without-subsidy I don't understand why, other than parental responsibility a parent would willingly add a child's health care costs to their own? But being a parent entails more than being selfish for one's own financial interests. But if every parent-adult has to make these self-sacrificing decisions, the result will be that the health insurance industry will swallow more and more of our money(let alone the government budget, which is already swelling up.) and we won't be able to be "consumers" in the consumer economy. All we'd be able to consume is the privilege of visiting a doctor. So yeah, the stay until you're a 26 year old isn't a feasible plan in the long-term. But you know what we could do? We could provide coverage to every child-to-young adult(18 ). From which point, they'd be on their own. We'd set the requirements to making under 250 K/yearly. This way the wealthy can't really access it, but everyone who needs it can have it. Borrowing a little bit from our Liberal friends, let's say that I agree that we should provide for the domestic welfare, but I believe that providing should be for the kids who obviously cannot provide for themselves. Same thing with providing for those with preexisting conditions and the poor(though I believe once we've created a self-sufficient economy, there will no longer be such a thing as a poor American.) A couple more things: -One time registration. No more "periodic signups". We'll treat health care like social security. Once you're born, you have it. Once you register, you have it. You "transfer" over to the next age bracket or the bracket that fits your particular health needs(for preexisting conditions.) -Creating a Price Control Panel compromised of independent experts contracted by the government to negotiate fair drug prices. The idea of government directly negotiating drug prices is one that is starting to get bipartisan support. There's only one problem: It's the government itself negotiating those prices. No one could agree to that. So I've come up with a solution: Health Care's own Federal Reserve(called the PCP). The PCP will have exclusive powers to negotiate fair and equitable prices and to control prices so that profit doesn't extend past 30% of the manufacturing price. -Across State Lines: We're finally going to get rid of the absurd notion that you cannot shop competitively across the country. If Minnesota has better prices than NY, as a New Yorker, you should be able to get Minneapolis insurance. This will significantly reduce costs, result in massive savings and increase coverage among All Americans. Furthermore, once you buy insurance, it'll "carry" with you. No more having to re-register. I'd do that for everything, AUTO insurance included. -One time prescriptions. Once you get a prescription, you'll automatically be registered into the government-protected online servers that can be accessed by your pharmacy and doctors in real time. From thereon, anytime you need a prescription just call for it and it's there. -Customized insurance plans. No more having these plans crafted for you, as a consumer you should have choice. You can collaborate with your doctor to create the best plans possible for you. The result of giving people the power to customize insurance plans will also result in lowered costs. -Tort Reform: We'll get defensive medicine out of the industry, reduce overhead and significantly lower costs. -Health Care Slush Fund. For those who don't want insurance(due to its high costs) but obviously we want them covered, we'll create the Health Care Slush Fund. The Slush Fund will be funded through taxation, let's say of 15%(individual income.) As the Health Care Slush Fund is properly funded according to the person's income, they will essentially be investing in their own health care. 15% of one's income is probably cheaper than what most health plans take out of your pockets right now. Presuming that our cost control plans are successful, it's even more possible that people maintain their slush funds rather than an insurance plan. There's all kinds of possible developments through this unique way of maintaining independence while paying into the system.
