I agree. Most of what's been proposed so far will not solve the problems of our current system and may actually make things worse.
Anyone who truly cares about reforming the actual underlying problems in our health care system should read this article because I think it does a pretty good job nailing down the events that got us into this situation and some possible solutions...
I read that article a little while back & it is a great article.
But.
Politics is always about the art of the possible. Considering how much screaming hysteria has been set off by the fairly small changes that the current round of health care bills propose, how do you think we would ever make the huge, systemic changes that this article suggests we need? I am open to suggestions - I don't know how it could be done.
Given that, I think the health care reform that HAS been proposed is better than nothing & therefore it should be passed.
