You can start by having the supreme court cancelling O'Bummah Care and trying to stabilize medical costs.
with all the public out cry on this plan, you must agree that it is a step forward,
making America more social and caring for each other would make it only stronger,
without taking into account only those who benefit from this plan without giving a nickel through they're life to support this move, take into account those it would actually benefit and you see a more internally stabilized country,
A 2009 Harvard study published in the American Journal of Public Health found more than 44,800 excess deaths annually in the United States associated with lack of insurance.
44,800 is many people dying each year cause they cannot afford medical care or insurance, it cannot be allowed in any normal country these days, maybe in hell, we have to move forward into a more caring environment, leaving out poor or people incapable of paying bills is cruel, it creates social leveling, growing frustration from poorer habitats, crime, distance and alienation,
it creates a feeling of worthy and less worthy, it divides and creates classes.
62% of all 2007 personal bankruptcies in the United States were due to an inability to pay medical costs.
Medical impoverishment is almost unheard of in wealthy countries other than the US either because the state covers everyone or everyone is obliged to by law to have insurance.
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurers and provide benefits over and above coverage in Medicare Parts A and B and receive funding from the Medicare fund for taking on Part A and B coverage. However, under a revised contract made during the previous Bush presidency, Medicare was overpaying the private insurers. MedPAC estimated the overpayment as being approximately $12 billion a year. [23] This meant that the average person in traditional Medicare was paying $90 a year as a subsidy to private insurers for which they received zero benefit and eliminating this overpayment would save $177 billion over ten years.
and that means saving ~18B dollar a year, if so that's not bad at all.
Reducing the deficit was another driver in health care reform. The reform legislation that passed was estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to reduce the deficit by $138 billion over 10 years
another.
laying off progress due to immediate concerns will never allow progress to happen,
immediate concerns would spring up every now and then and should be taken cared of without harming the effort to truly change you'r ways.
taking a large step forward is hard but it at least moving you from the place you were, even if it isn't easy in the beginning, you know you have to do it, further on things can and will only get better, but it is always hard when you start, we have to be brave to take the first step!
Nobody in the U.S. really wants the government to fix the national debt. The first time a tax cut is taken away, AMT isn't adjusted, or a government program they are using is slashed, the american who it affects will cry foul.
maybe no one really wants to change the way they live,
they cry out for reforms but when it touches them in any way, they say, oh, that's crossing the lines, no thanks,
people would like to keep they're line of living, they're satisfied as they are even if they die young and live horribly, as long as nobody bugs them, at least many do.
as for the other idea, the issue is the government cannot seem to follow the line of saving, yes they do all kind of reforms and legislate rules which would allow gradual cuts and return of expenses, in the longer term, in the shorter, it either takes time, or the strains of stabilizing an entire country simply won't allow it.
