There are two plans for dealing with health care in this nation one works the other is flawed and expresses another loss of freedom in America.

The Obama plan for a Government health care program puts higher taxes to work with the government stepping in and choosing providers, choosing options, and limiting free enterprize while doing nothing about the prime cause of the extreem cost. The main reason behind higher cost in the medical industry is the number of frivolous lawsuits, and high jury awards against doctors in malpractice suits. It drives up the cost of malpractice insurance and that is reflected on you hospital and doctors bills. Yet his plan addresses no change in limits on rewards, or legislation to lessen the number of frivolous suits. It does however put the federal government paying the bill, or does it? See to pay for health care taxes must be raised, and even if it’s on the rich, the rich will increase cost of goods to offset the high taxes and it trickles down to all of us.

The McCain plan is to offer tax incentives to businesses that offer group policies, and to Americans that get health insurance either through work or on their own to help us pay the bill with out own money. We choose the companies and providers not someone in Washington. It also addresses a reduction in jury awards, and closing of loopholes that would limit frivolous lawsuits. These measures will reduce medical bills and make coverage more affordable. Because this plan allow freedom of choice more insurance companies stand to be in competition for your health care dollar, and competition brings about lower rates.

This has been shown to work by the example in other industries such as utilities where deregulation increases competition and one time utility giants have had to share resources and offer lower fees taking smaller profit margins to pass a competitive rate on to the consumer. By lowering the cost of the health care industry and the burdens of huge awards and wrongful litigation, companies will see huge savings to pass on to the American consumer, a bit of bargaining room to offer lower rates as competition soars in the industry.

Your choice is simply to pay less on your own and maintain your freedom of choice or to pay more in taxes and on everything from toothpaste to gasoline to have the Government tell you which hospitals and doctors you can use by limiting your choice of policies to those a crooked politician has selected. See if the government runs health care like anything else they run they will hand out a limited number of contracts to providers. All too often, as with the defense contracts congress has accepted bribes and donations and America has not gotten the best deal for their dollar.  The number of politicians sitting in jail for accepting bribes proves that when industry is limited to a handful of companies getting your dollar, companies will use most any means to get one of the contracts and somewhere, someplace there is a politician looking for a handout that will help them achieve their goals.

Obama’s health care plan is wrong for the American Tax Payer.
