Lies Politicians Tell Us. How to Solve Health Care.

I have found a way to appease the Libertarians and Conservatives, who want to use the Federal mandate as an excuse to repel the Health Care Law. It is quite simple. If you want health care, with a single payer, so we can eliminate the greed from the insurance companies, you sign up for it and when you need it, you can go to your doctor or hospital or clinic and the amount will be sent to the government, similar to Medicare and Medicaid. If you decline to accept this and participate, then when you go to the doctor's office, or hospital or clinic, you will be refused care. Here is how this would work. Say you are driving to work and have a serious accident, the paramedics, would not know if you have insurance, so they would transport you to the nearest Emergency Room. Before you could see a physician, an administrator would determine if your had insurance. If you did not, they would wheel you back out into the parking lot. You would live or die, based upon your injuries and maybe a little luck. The doctors and nurses would not break their oath because they would not even know if you were there. Now lets say you have a trunk full of cash just for this situation, this becomes your lucky day. They will gladly take cash , credit cards, of course you would not be eligible for rewards points, or letters of credit from your bank. Those of us that have insurance would have a bar code tattooed on our legs. This would be very small and in an inconspicuous place. A few other points to make about the Lambert Health Care Plan. The torte reform would work here because if you have no insurance, you cannot sue the hospital for not treating you. You and your family have no recourse, thus our mal-practice insurance rates would go down for health care workers and providers. Minors under the age of 18 would have to be covered. I can see a law suite here to protect every ones right to die, but recent history shows that the courts should side with this. Our emergency rooms would no longer be filled by people using them as a doctor's office with colds and minor ailments. People with insurance would go to the clinic, and those without insurance would be turned away. People that have insurance would no longer pay for the uninsured through higher premiums and our taxes.So to review, my plan is very simple have insurance and receive treatment, don't have insurance and die. We could stop the states that are suing over the mandate. It is no longer a mandate. The federal government will not have to pay for the people that do not have insurance. Average Americans, who choose to be covered will no longer pay for the people, who feel their personal liberties are being stepped on by mandates, so we will have more money in our pockets. The insurance companies will stop stealing from us, with their big profits and bonuses. Tell me the down side. O.K. I admit there is one. People will die. So what, this is their choice. they want the freedom to do so. Unemployment will go down. Fewer people to apply for the available jobs. I mean the plus side keeps getting longer. Now I want to hear back from all of those people that think the new health care law is so terrible. Here is a great alternative that we all can live, or should I say die, with.
