Obamacare should be repealed totally,
including regulations, report requirements and taxes.
Healthcare Insurance should return to the
same practices we followed before Obamacare.
Consumers should be free to refuse to buy health insurance if they
choose. These would be consumers who
don’t own homes and would arrange for payment plans to providers.
For those with homes, they should purchase
low cost catastrophic coverage with a high deductible. If they have heavy bills, they would arrange
for payment plans to providers to pay these deductibles.
For those who choose catastrophic plans
and can afford to make monthly contributions to their own healthcare savings
account, they could save enough to cover their deductible if they incur high
medical bills.
For those who choose to remain with their
employer’s plans, they will have several choices.
Changes to Health Insurance laws could
include dependent coverage to age 26 and guaranteed coverage regardless of
pre-existing conditions and the ability to buy insurance across State lines.
Providers should no longer be required to
treat patients who cannot pay for services, but could arrange a payment plan
for patients.
Providers should no longer be required to
follow Obamacare guidelines.
Malpractice lawsuits should be abolished.
Current Obamacare patients should be
offered admittance to Medicaid. Moving the 15 million big spenders to Medicaid
would re-energize Medicaid. Doctors and hospitals would want to keep these
customers because they spend half of the US Healthcare GDP.
Illegal aliens and refugees should not be
eligible for Medicare or Medicaid or any other tax subsidized benefits. That
alone could send thousands of illegal families and low skilled refugees headed
back to their home countries.
Insurance companies should offer
catastrophic coverage options with coverage limits and offer policies with the
old $1 million lifetime maximum to encourage lower medical costs. Coverage for
charges should require “medical necessity” to “rescue and repair”.
