[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 244796, member: 9859"] Perhaps I been misleading you guys with the word Gov't.. Clinton is not proposing a new government bureaucracy. Nor would her new plan strip people of their current health insurance. Indeed, even the title of her new proposal — “the American Health Choices Plan” emphasizes flexibility and options, and not government-directed coverage. There will be no new bureaucracy, you can keep the doctors you know and trust, you keep the insurance you have, if you like it. But this plan expands personal insurance and increases competition to keep costs down. People who are satisfied with their current coverage can keep it. Part of our health care system is the best in the world, and we should build on it. Part is broken, and we should fix it. Under her plan, people could keep their existing coverage or pick new choices, such as an expanded version of the insurance available to federal employees or a new Medicare-style public plan that would cost people less. Large businesses would be required to help pay for insurance for employees; small businesses and individuals would receive tax subsidies and credits to help purchase insurance. Paying for the plan partially by ending Republican-backed tax cuts for people earning $250,000 or more, as well as by netting billions of dollars in savings by reorganizing the health care system. Also press insurance companies and drug companies to focus on providing lower cost care — while at the same time, ban insurance companies from turning down people for insurance because of health status or pre-existing health conditions.The idea is not to put the health insurance industry out of business, but to help it find a better way to make a living. Brett636 Mr. Edwards proposes an “individual mandate” that would require all Americans have health insurance and would raise taxes on wealthy Americans. Like Clinton's plan,you can keep your own Health Ins. and doctors you trust..relax [/QUOTE]
