Today our upcoming Vice-President, Michael Pence announced that the first thing that he, and Donald Trump when they take office is to replace Obamacare. It scares me wondering how can my wife get immediate coverage, without spending an arm and a leg. Looking at the Obamacare option, the total cost with deductibles, is in the range around $1000.00 a month. There is no way with her dropping out of the work force that the both of us can afford this. Right now on I have been fortunate to be on her plan, this is certainly a lot cheaper than me paying for medicare (A-N). I have heard many suggestions, restricting coverage, modifying pre-existing conditions, and making coverage more competitive across state lines. There has also been talk about extend coverage internationally. Whatever the case is, healthcare is a Three Trillion dollars Medical expense for our three hundred million americans, yikes $10,000.00 a year per person. However I have not heard anyone talk about stream lining the medical process.
I am not a Doctor, but I go to many, I also have to my fair share of medications. I wonder if we ever ask our Doctors and Insurance companies how they can make it financially for everyone to have affordable care. I am going to start a list and I hope we can get many on board to help me have a list of possible ideas for our new administration.
A) Mass Production of Doctors for many of the most common medical issues. There are two doctors in the office I go to. Could it be cheaper if we have an assembly line of 100 doctors and nurses and stream line the process.
B) Buy prescription drugs in bulk, so everybody can get a massive discount.
C) Have credit cards that will rebate for medical expenses.
D) Medical credit cards can be used for all purchases, and like in the old days, their credit card interest will be tax-deductable.
E) Can we have a secondary doctor certification, a three year schooling? Are our Doctors over qualified to diagnose the common cold?
F) Alliances with other countries for expensive procedures.
G) A national medication registry for of our prescription users, saving the medical systems million of dollars of repetition.
H) Nursing homes in our third world countries, and in areas in our country where there is massive unemployment.
I) Hospitals are not in the restaurant business, start utilizing vending machines, or rent space to food venders.
J) Start having hospitals that are more specializing.
K) Penalize those who are not wanting to live a healthier life style.
L) Start teaching in our school systems on god health, and they must meet the health requirements to pass a new national requirement.
M) Just like we need to pass a drivers license test to drive a car, perhaps we need to pass a health license test to get an insurance discount.
N) I know that eventually this will probably affect me, a life time limit on the amount that an insurance company will be liable for, age 90?
O) Better medical education in our school systems, the earlier the better.
P) Allow foreign doctors to practice here in this country , perhaps they can be able to be part of our new classification of doctors.
R) Encourage retired doctors to play a part in our new health care.
S) A national medical tax,of one-percent of everyone’s income.
T) Hospitals profits are taxable.
U) Doctors and medical personnel pay lower taxes, encourage more people to enter the medical work force.
V) A national family history registration all Americans.
W) Just like some of us grew up with Dr. Welby, may be can go to Dr. Walmart.
X) Insurance and Drug companies start pouring their profits in building hospitals, medical schools, and education.
Y) Harder policing on many of the cheaters that put such a financial burden on many of us.
Z) We are all in this together, lets hear from many of you, so we can help our new administration with this problem of costly health care.
