Robert C. Koons: Trump should boldly embrace a conservative single-payer system
Trump might have gotten this through Congress last year, or some variation of this plan, the dems would have had a fit.
Actually what I think should happen is doing it the right way this time:
First off, search and attack things that drove up our healthcare costs in the first place; namely government.
Secondly, we can have a little of both. For people with preexisting conditions, they should have the option to buy into Medicare. That would take all the high risk patients out of the insurance pool and lower premiums for everybody else.
Third, we need mandated Medical Savings Accounts. It would work just like our other deductions. You would have to contribute X percentage of your paycheck to your MSA, or even the option to put in more if desired. When you go to the doctors, ER's, the dentist, you pay from that account. If you read articles from insurance companies, they stated repeatedly that all that paperwork pushing for a hundred dollar doctors visit costs them a ton of money. The more insurance companies save, the less they can charge for their premiums.
