Fixing Health Care Does Not Require a “Bi-Partisan” Bill — It Does Require a Public Health Insurance Option

2009 June 8

Voters are overwhelmingly in favor of a National Health Care option. What needs to be stressed is that employees who are currently covered by existing health care plans will have the option of switching their monthly payments into the new government health care plan. Those payments that are now going to the private insurance companies, will flow into the new plan that is set up to guarantee lower costs and better coverage for all Americans. If you deduct the need for huge profits for the health insurance companies, you should be able to stretch that money to cover a lot more people. This is what the backers of single payer and a government health care system are counting on and what the private insurance companies fear.

This is a no-brainer for Congress to pass. If they don’t pass it this time, they will have to find themselves some new jobs soon. The American people have no more “patience” for a broken health care system.
