Let's hear YOUR plan.

major modifications to the current system we already have.
cut out the middle man.
let doctors get back to the basics of
providing care... not
running business. My health care options are between me - my doctor and my family.
Since uncle sam is not a blood relative he can stay the hell out of my business
I obviously cant sit down here and turn out a 5,000 page plan for you in the next few posts platapus.
but i do tell you this right now:
BOTH sides of the aisle have to sit down together and say "this is what we want" - "this is what we dont want" - "this is what we need" - "this is what we cant do without" - "this is what we agree on or disagree on".
and they need to spend the next 3 years thinking about it... discussing it... holding public forums of debate etc.
If BO was HALF the leader he claims to be he would come out and address the nation publicly the following statement:
"My fellow Americans, one of my chief goals in running for president was to provide sweeping health care reform to improve the most perfect of imperfect systems in the world. While it is clear that you cannot make everyone happy on this issue... i feel like myself and congress can do better than this... we
must do better than this... we owe it to you the American People. it is my promise to you that any bill which comes across my desk which was not agreed upon, and was not bipartisan in it's nature... any health care reform bill which reaches me that was not voted for by the majority of both parties and does not appear to have overwhelming public support - will - be - vetoed - period."
thats
my plan
at least until one can be formulated, studied, improved a hundred times over, shared with the public etc.
i see no reason to rush this thing through in 2 weeks time.
