it is so easy to come up with a better plan than the Reid plan. 1) Use Medical Savings accounts for sums less than 30,000 per year. 2) Use catastrophic medical Insurance plans for sums above 30,000 per year. 3) Pick a line where the government wants to contribute to the Medical Savings Accounts of the poor. $30,000 was chosen as the average cost of a typical major surgery in one year. Catastrophic medical coverage for sums above $30,000 in a year is rather low because major surgeries are not that common. Medical Savings Accounts are nice because the community that aims to help a person with special needs can contribute to it and be reasonably assured that the donation goes to the Medical costs of the person. Healthy persons collect, save up or even donate. Persons with hardships of $30,000 per year could meet the goverment's standards of benevolence to contribute to their account. As each person has their own MSA. The doctor has to explain their costs to the patient. This will do more to reform wasteful spending in medicine that any single oversight by any agency ever will. We still run the risk that the US Supreme court gets involved in deciding what is a valid medical expenditure. But, that problem is impossible to avoid once the Federal government invades the medical plans of the USA. The only way to stop that is give up this bid for Socialized Medicine. The government is not responsible for my health. I am. More than half of what will kill me early in life is influenced by my own habits. Building a medical plan to make us wards of the state is stupid. But, if bankruptcy from medical costs is the true terror this whole mess is trying to fix, Medical Savings Accounts and Catastrophic Medical Insurance would solve this in the least invasive way. I think my plan could fit on 1 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. Even if the lawyers must expand and so multiply by a factor of 100. Then the full plan could be 100 pages long. No fuss, no waste, no power grab, no deceptions. Stop the Socialist Power Grab in progress: no hope, no change, no savings and no quality.

A client informed me she could not in good conscience pay taxes to an entity which either directly or indirectly funded abortion. She asked me if there was such a thing a "conscientious tax objector"! All I could think of was Sgt. Alvin York. She had an honest moral dilemma. She was conflicted. The United States government had presented her a non choice. Between the devil and the deep blue sea. Morton's fork. Good thinking good Americans are beginning to resent America. What a shame!!!!!

Мedical care and services should be accessible to everyone. Irregular to reduce costs and increase de-insure health for children, elderly persons. To reduce budget spending inappropriately, and to increase recovery of ambulances in rural areas.
