Health Care Reform Dead?

        I keep hearing that Republicans were elected because they promised to repeal and replace Obamacare.  I disagree.  The majority of this country wants to repeal Obamacare so they can have affordable health care.  They don’t want to fix it, or replace it, or repeal it for two years.  They just want it gone. 

        I was very disappointed in the Republican Senators who voted to repeal Obamacare in the past and now voted against the repeal when we have a President who will sign the bill.  I hope Republicans put forward new candidates to replace these Senators, and will put in some who will actually work for making this country great again.

        The increased cost of health care was caused by medical insurance, the courts, and the government.  The government needs to stop making it worse.  We must have tort reform for malpractice suits.  We can’t mandate insurance that gives every special interest groups everything they want and not increase costs.

        There are things the government could do that would actually lower medical costs.  Make discounting of medical services illegal.  There is no reason an insurance provider should only pay 30% to 50% of what an individual without insurance would have to pay for the same service. 

        Tort reform would reduce malpractice insurance and medical costs.  Allowing medical insurance companies to sell across state lines would increase competition.

        Obamacare is a disaster and will implode.  What happens when all the insurance carriers pull out and people have no option except to pay the tax penalty?  Will it be repealed then, will the government waste our tax dollars to bale it out, or will we just have single payer insurance, which is what liberals want?  Single payer would mean we no longer have freedom of choice, and will have little control over our healthcare. 

        Medical providers will also be put in the position of doing every procedure and test or face a potential liability.  Nothing will be the choice of the patient.  Many medical providers will leave the system and not accept government payments.  Medical doctors in the system will be overwhelmed which will compound the problem.   

        Which disaster is coming if we don’t vote for a clean unconditional repeal of Obama Care?  None of the options are good. 

       

        God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
