Boomer Review of House Healthcare Bill

How different things were just a few months ago when it appeared the so-called health care reform bills were going to pass. The frantic pace may be over for a time. But I assure you, the national debate will continue.

It is important to remember why Boomers are saying health care reform is important. We are getting older and will be more dependent on medical care. SO, why can't we just slow down the dialogue and pursue a rational action plan that makes sense. Here are some suggestions which can be done without significant changes in the delivery and financing of health care:

1. Let's get the uninsured covered, if they choose to be, through tax credits.
2. Introduce choice by having insurance companies sell across state lines.
3. Decrease the amount of legislative burdens that impeded company health plans.
4. Let individuals who purchase health insurance on their own take the tax deduction.
5. Encourage the growth of consumer-based models such as Health Savings Accounts.
6. Let's not forget tort reform too!

Easy to implement and lower administrative cost means lower taxes. And, we don't need huge changes in the health care system!

Be well!
