Whole Foods Health Reform

Since i made this blog the issue that has come up most, is health care. here is just one more health reform that doesn't call for a government take over.

1. Remove the legal obstacles that slow the creation of high-deductible health insurance plans and health savings accounts (HSAs).

2. Equalize the tax laws so that employer-provided health insurance and individually owned health insurance have the same tax benefits.

3. Repeal all state laws which prevent insurance companies from competing across state lines.

4. Repeal government mandates regarding what insurance companies must cover.

5. Enact tort reform to end the ruinous lawsuits that force doctors to pay insurance costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

6.  Make costs transparent so that consumers understand what health-care treatments cost.

7. Enact Medicare reform.

8. Revise tax forms to make it easier for individuals to make a voluntary, tax-deductible donation to help the millions of people who have no insurance and aren't covered by Medicare, Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program.

I would also like to add a few amendments to this great reform package:

1. Some adaption of the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan for those without jobs or who cant afford higher premiums.

2. Health care vouchers or tax credits to each family to buy private health care

3. Medicaid reform

4. Creating small government co-ops in states for a compromatic type "free gov't health care"
