Temo: Health care fix
1. Tort reform

2. Medical Savings Accounts
this serves 4 purposes, first of all it gives an incentive to not frivolously go to the doctor for minor stuff, for instance, currently doctors are over prescribing antibiotics for viruses which both waste money and break down the immune system.
Secondly, it acts as a potential bonus retirement fund, unused money comes back tax free.
Thirdly, It fully covers catastrophic conditions which is what insurance is really meant for, not every day stuff.
And lastly, it would bring down the cost of doctor visits because it would promote people to shop around for the best value, (free market).

3. and one of the most important things, any one that doesn't have documentation of legal residency gets whatever medical service they need, the bill gets sent to their legal country of citizenship and to make sure that their government pays, the money is decucted from the aid that we give them, this solves more than one problem, first it covers 12-20 million of the 45 million uncovered, it would lessen the immigration problem as governments would no longer encourage their people to come here, and it would bring down cost that every one of us have to absorb.

This isn't the total fix but I'll bet this would get us most of the way there

I was at the docs today and in the waiting room is a sign: This facility serves everyone regardless of ability to pay.

That's typical of many, if not most practices.

Vikings: Sounds good to me.... my biggest fear is something catastrophic happening, and I dont have any insurance for it..... but to have to pay such high prices for insurance to cover things like a visit when i need stitches for a cut, its not worth it for a young person in good health, its cheaper to just pay as you use.

Vikings: 1) needs sorting out I agree, the whole USA system of sue needs capping. Something that over here we've had.

2) Our gov uses a similar system to get part time workers into full time employment. It works. But as to people shopping around for a doc... This is a Hippocratic situation and as such I feel set limits on what doc's can charge should be limited.

3) I thought was already somewhat in place. All UK people are advised as a matter of course to take out medical insurance when visiting another country to which they are not covered automatically. Also.. if this recharge was in place then as such then every country ought to do the same.

Our docs have a sign that if you have medical insurance to tell them.
