Healthcare Reform in America, 2009

Posted By on 2009-07-13 09:11

Reform Needed, indeed! With 50 million Americans uninsured, Medicare almost broke and healthcare costs rising uncontrollably, something needs to be done and done quickly!

We have a new President in the White House who is moving forward with healthcare reform. His goal is comprehensive reform  of the system to control costs,guarantee coice of doctors and assure high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans. A central point of the President's plan is to create a government-sponsored health insurance program that would be an option for all Americans, similar to how Medicare works. Included in this proposal is prohibitions against insurers discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions and incentivesw for people to use preventive services and wellness plans.

President Obama needs the support and cooperation of Congress, the House and the Senate. Congress is filled with men and women with many different agendas and with many different special interest groups knocking on their doors. There will be a lot of fighting and wrangling over WHAT IS and WHAT IS NOT included in reforming our healthcare system. Republicans, for example, want a less expensive system, and are proposing individual tax beaks for buying health insurance and incentives for people to build health savings accounts, allowing dependent children to stay on parents' policies until age 25 and encouraging employers to reward employees for improved health. And one powerful lobbying group, The Ameican Medical Association, does not believe in creating a public helath insurance option because the reimbursement rates will probably not keep pace with the rising costs of their practices.

With so many lives at stake with this reform package, we can not afford to leave the decision-making to our political representatives alone...make certain that your voices are heard!  Write to your Senators and Representatives, and if you are part of a coalition or organization that has a proposal, submit a petition and ask to be heard at the public hearings. NOW is the time to reform our approach to healthcare and to reform America's philosophy towards prevention and wellness!
