Healthcare - Is There a Solution?
As Congress grapples with itself in passing a legislative bill and offering affordable health insurance, ensuing a debate that has lasted for nearly a year, what impact will this have on the American citizen? Is there a solution political groups have offered for this country that will create affordable and sustainable health care, while not cutting into the citizen's pocketbook? Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-Nev.
) said, "We may not completely cure this crisis today or tomorrow, but we must start toward that end.
We must strive for progress.
" Unfortunately, many citizens today look at Washington and leaders for answers to many problems that inflict all classes of America.
Amidst disputing parties, regressing into a dysfunctional system, the people are beginning to notice an "erosion of political comity that seems the collective result of political grievances from one side to the other.
" - POLITICO.
As American citizens lose their jobs and savings, however, healthcare seems to be a top priority.
Why? Because health is one of the most important conditions of civilization.
Yet the government is seen today increasing its national debt and, therefore, the long-term tax burden on the people and their children.
It seems, according to Sen.
Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), that we could have done better and "there's plenty of responsibility and blame to go around - no question about that.
" The culprit for today's crisis is the rising rule of vote-gathering man.
As opinions escalate in the Senate, every agenda offered has one result in mind - increasing votes for the upcoming elections.
Seeking to win substantial segments of the voting public, politicians race further and further into the entitlement-game, because bringing more entitlements to more segments of the population attracts more votes.
The weight of the Budget for America is collapsing, and as it does, the politicians continue to call for yet larger and larger budgets, catapulting America further and further into debt - healthcare is one reason for this.
The fact is we do need healthcare.
Medical professionals in the health industry provide services to the people when they are sick or injured.
But if we are to make healthcare affordable for the masses, new technologies in the healthcare industry must race ahead like the computer industry did in the late 1900's.
In comparison, though, the destructive cost-prohibited FDA that regulates the medical industry, leaves any medical advancements severely neglected.
As a result, the health care in America is deteriorating.
The FDA and their bureaucratic regulations have caused more and more doctors to slave longer and longer for less and less money.
Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) argues that the president's reform push would increase taxes and hike premiums for health insurance coverage.
However, if healthcare becomes unhindered by cost-prohibitive regulations, the medical industry would be free to creatively progress, bring prices down, and be reduced to the private sector where the medical industry would be ran like a business.
The Virginia Republican, Eric Cantor, said that he wanted to "work with the White House to revamp the healthcare system but believed that government agencies are inherently less efficient than the private sector.
" America has the potential to become the fastest growing and most prosperous nation in history, also becoming the most healthy.
America can enjoy the brightest research doctors and scientists in the world backed by the largest pool of investment-money for costly research projects finally free of cost-prohibitive and self-serving political regulations.
Yet, again, today even the most simple insurance policy is unaffordable.
Is there a solution? The answer is yes, there is a solution.
Freedom is said to be the "oxygen of creative process," and healthcare must be free from bureaucratic regulations in order to fuel a creative process of viable solutions - it must be made available to everyone, be affordable, and not hurt hard-working citizens in the process.
America must begin with it's freedom in all industries.
Once the medical industry becomes free, then doctors, scientists, surgeons, research doctors can make good money again.
They can create values without being punished, and there is no need for insurance premiums once the medical industry gets reduced to the private sector.
In a world with free enterprise, where the medical industry competes for your business like any other industry - just like the computer industry did.
When the Government gets out of the way, medical research investment will soar and cost-prohibitive FDA regulations will vanish.
Today's regulatory web, with it's endless debates and opinions catches and eats alive all aggressive research and progress.
With healthcare reform and increased taxes for the American citizen, the politicized Government moves at a snail's pace to provide reasonable and ethical solutions.
However, if technology moves in rapidly, without burdensome regulations then, just like the computer industry, prices begin dropping and healthcare costs plunge.
Like the computers, healthcare, cures, and medicine become cheaper and better.
In comparison, the FDA controls the pharmaceutical companies, regulate medical research, and approve medicines to "protect the people.
" In order to find a solution, America must bring out the brightest research doctors and scientists in the world.
Once that occurs it can then be backed by a large pool of investment money contributed by the private sector for costly research projects.
Those research projects will finally be free from cost-prohibitive and political regulations, thus providing medical breakthrough after medical breakthrough.
The private sector, the investment companies, can bring these breakthroughs straight to the people at affordable prices.
That would solve America's healthcare crisis and bring value to the people.
