Health Insurance

What is the Healty Insurance??

We hear it every day! So many Americans have no health insurance. Healthcare is unaffordable for so many. Those who need insurance the most can't get it. The list goes on. Our president has the idea of creating a government program to "compete" with private insurance, which many see as a sneaky move toward socializing medicine. There are those who call for such a move, claiming that money motivated private insurance is not enough. They may be partially right but socializing would be a big booboo. I saw for myself the results of a national health program in another country and definitely think this country needs to keep at least 95% of our healthcare system the way it is.

What about that 5%? Well, for one thing ways need to be found to get all Americans insured and emphasis needs to focus on prevention. The government's best role would be to provide incentive for the formation of and then regulate health insurance companies that specialize in low income people to take care of those folks who make to much for Medicaid qualification but can't afford private insurance. It should be a requirement to see a doctor for a physical at least once a year to keep coverage; twice with preexisting conditions.

The same should be done for dental insurance.

To really make our healthcare the best it can be in a nutshell, it should be only a little government and lots of private sector.
