Personal Story: Health Insurance

As business owners My husband and I had company insurance. Medical insurance for employees is more expensive for the small company than for large corporations. If the small business has anyone on the plan with pre-existing conditions the cost is driven higher for every employee on that plan. For the large companies that is not the case. True the larger the pool the more costs are absorbed.

However, at one time, small business owners could unite to create a large pool. Regulations no longer permit that. (I do not know if it is due to State regulations, Federal regulations, or both)

Solution: Allow co-ops. As citizens we should be allowed to unite, and create non-profit insurance pools independent of business if we so choose...like through Churches, professions and other organizations. We should also be allowed to cross State lines to do so

Simple solutions such as this are far less complicated, they are constitutionally legal (Federally run health care is not legal as per the U.S. Constitution), and there is less chance of pork (a nice word for theft) than with the Federal Government's thousand plus pages that no one can read.

There is no need for protesters to holler or disrupt meetings. The law and common sense are on their side.

*****Obama's Health Care Plan/ Ross Perot

"By a vote of 61 – 37 the U.S. Senate passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. More troubling than the amount of pork contained in the bill was a provision that will affect “every individual in the United States,” and dramatically alter the way that doctors practice medicine. The bill allocates $20 billion to establish the Office of the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. The role of the coordinator goes much further than computerizing the health records of all Americans. As former Lieutenant Governor of New York, Becky McCaughey, points out in her commentary on Bloomberg.com, the new office will “monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.” See her article that triggered an avalanche of calls, emails and faxes to Capitol Hill."
