Well, healthcare reform has been stupefied yet again. Remember last week when we posted the blog about how a deal had been reached, how the public option had been dropped and the Medicare buy-in was the replacement? Well, apparently we were mistaken. A healthcare agreement had been reached, but on this roller coaster we call the healthcare debate, where politicians are literally jumping off of a moving ride and climbing up the sides, who knows what’s up and what’s down.
According to USNews, “the calculations are growing much more complicated with each hour that passes,” and there is just no end to the debate in sight. What does that mean for you the patient and consumer? Well, nothing really. Nothing is changing, nothing is improving, and nothing is progressing. It’s for these reasons that market based healthcare alternatives like the No Insurance Club are truly the best options for keeping your family healthy.
No matter where you turn, from journalists to politicians, there is no concrete description of the healthcare reform bill. One report will tell you the facts, seemingly believable, while another report made at the exact same time will tell you the same facts from a different perspective and you’re all turned around once again.
For example:
…trying to create a health-care “system” that would be run out of Washington. We don’t have a health-care system now, but rather countless independent programs and entities. In trying to assemble them into a system, all of the parts must interlock. Pull out one and several others collapse — threatening to tear apart the entire overhaul.– National Review Online
What is clear is that the government seems headed for a much, much bigger role in health care. Now, to be honest, the government already has a huge say in just about every meaningful aspect of our healthcare system. It approves and regulates prescription drugs. Medicare and Medicaid are the tails that truly do wag the healthcare dog. These programs dominate pricing decisions in hospitals, doctors’ offices and pharmaceutical companies. So, the notion that the current healthcare proposal amounts to a wholesale dismantling of the private enterprise system is not credible. – USNews
