Health care

Judy,
Pass this along.....
While everyone in the GOP is telling our leadership what to say and do if/when the agree to meet with the
president I've yet to hear what needs to be promoted, a simple four element plan with the cost and benefit.

a. uninsured.....allow them to purchase under existing Federal plan, low income get govt assist.  My son is in Missouri, didn't have health insurance for new job, needed it for the kids, was able to get it for $127 mo. - employers should not be allowed 6 months before employees are covered
b. insurance co. will be allow to sell across state lines.  Absolutely!
c. pre-existing conditions will not cause refusal.  Yes, except in cases of drug addiction.  If they can buy drugs, they can pay for medical care
d. fired employees will continue to have health care for six months, paid by employer. I would word it "laid off" not fired because fired could be for good cause - such as theft, sleeping on the job, not showing up for work, etc.  If you say fired it could be manipulated.
e, Tort reform  Absolutely
f. Govt would place cap on Cobra after co. paid insurance runs out, if needed.  If company has to cover for 6 months, they can into plan through unemployment insurance.  Bag Cobra - it costs too much and we are now subsidizing it 65%.
g. Allow 100% deduction for all medical costs, as is allowed for property taxes and mortgage interest.  Outside of the standard deduction not as part of itemized deductions.

All this will be implmented once signed into law....

Wish they asked me to speak with the president....he wouldn't listen - he has his own agenda to make socialized medicine and that's that.  No matter what he says, I don't believe he wants to work with anybody.  His idea of working with people is to have them get on board for his ideas.  That's been obvious to me since the campaign.
