Guaranteed Healthcare

Today is the beginning of a journey to elect candidates, who genuinely care about the people and the public interest. They will need our help, our input, our insights, and our irreverence.

There are no United States Senators with expertise in all things human. Their life experiences are different from Americans without healthcare access, unpayable medical bills, foreclosed homes, daily visits to food pantries, lay-off notices, unaffordable energy costs, and unpaid college tuition bills.

Their economic advisors, political consultants, and policy wonks ---all heavily insured and well-compensated --- see realities through the prisms of what is politically feasible and pragmatic. They rarely if ever see things as they are and ask why and never dream things that never were and ask why not.

It is unacceptable to see the realities of healthcare finance in America and say, let's expand it. It is ludicrous to bear witness to massive fraud, waste and abuse within the current non-system and say, let's increase it. It is unfair to those lost in the bizarre twilight zone of insurance-creep (benefits creep down, costs creep up) to proliferate it. It is a national disgrace to have the American Healthcare Solution driven by those who contribute significantly to the American Healthcare Disaster.

Somewhere between medical errors and lack of access to healthcare, hundreds of thousands of Americans are injured, killed, or become more seriously ill annually. In a decade of the Vietnam War, America lost 58,000 killed and hundreds of thousands were wounded.

War appears to rationalize casualties. A true and effective healthcare system has no rationale for casualties.

The private sector should deliver it and the federal government should pay for it. By eliminating layers of profit elements and thousands of unnecessary cost centers, we have the opportunity to fund healthcare for all Americans, invest more money in stem cell research, and allocate more resources to families with autistic children, infant mortality prevention, and other needs.

Reallocating massive financial resources from a wasteful non-system to a single-payer universal healthcare system won't cost additional tax revenues IF it is done with prudence and accountability.

McSame will attack the Obama-Biden team's healthcare plan as "socialized medicine" and "government-run" system. Single-payer it is not. Nevertheless, it will come under fire and TAX increases will be the points of their swords.

Behind the scenes will be Big Pharma, the insurance industry, for-profit hospital corporations and hundreds of other special interests fearful of meaningful change.

Their job is to sustain the status quo and increase their roles and financial opportunities.

Our job is to effect substantive change. It is to enlighten those coming to power with a different prism than ours. It is to amplify the extraordinary advantages of trusting the American public with the facts --- all of the facts --- about the current non-system and to help them make informed decsions about structuring the future of Healthcare In America. We cannot afford to continue a conversation, insurance-creep v. single-payer universal healthcare, with 99,9% of Americans in the dark about 95% of the current non-system's defects.

We believe in healthcare for all..federally funded through tax. We also believe that the cost has gone way too high. For this reason we have to improve the business of healthcar......from improving the quality to reducing the waste, from policy changes to globalization. We want to discuss all and everything for its merit and feasibility.

We have blog as referenced above to discuss the issues related to total healthcare transformation.
