Solving the Health Care Problem

Do you really care about solving the health care problem? I really do. Medicare and Medicare needs to be fixed. People with pre-existing problems needs to be insured without breaking them financially. They need to take insurance with them when they change jobs if they wish. Yes, the people that really cannot afford health care need to be taken care of. Emergency rooms are not the doctors of choice.
The system cannot go like it is going now. So, big boy how do you fix it.

Strange enough you start by sealing off our borders. ALL OF THE BORDERS. North, South, East and West. After that you find out who is here that does not NEED to be here. You know, gang bangers, drug dealers and such. Get them and everyone connected with them out of this country. Harsh, hell yeah but something has to be done. Then you look at the rest. If they are needed then start them down the road to their Green Card. Oh, forgot. Make English the OFFICIAL LANGUAGE of this country. Stop and I mean STOP offering things in every language under the sun. Learn it or leave. Just go to another country and you will find out. They only speak English to sell you something. Now we know who is here so we can now start to help. Think carefully about this. Only when we know who is here and why can we control our systems. It matters not if it's health, housing, transportation or whatever.

Now, with that done this is where the government must step in to help. The private insurance companies must agree, ALL OF THEM, to fair rules for rules to accept people to be insured. In cases where people cannot afford the minimum needed, the federal/state governments will make up the difference. I know this does not sound like me but what I mean is not pay 100%, only the difference what one cannot pay and what they can pay. Bring back a 100% income tax credit what you pay for health insurance and related health out of pocket expenses. Right now our wonderful government takes about 70% of that money. (I think, correct me if I am wrong.)

That takes care of the private, now on to Medicare and Medicaid. One rule, pay the providers what is fair and LOCK UP ALL WHO IS CHEATING THE SYSTEM. That includes both sides, the so-called patients, hospitals and doctors. Is it that simple? No, but it's a start. Then you go from there. Things have a habit of self cleansing when enough pressure is put on it.
