The Best Suggestion On Healthcare I've Heard So Far

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

Today's New York Post has an article by Betsy McCaughey suggesting what President Obama should say in his healthcare speech tonight.  Her bottom line is very simple--rip up this awful plan and rewrite it in English!

The current healthcare bill is 1,018 pages long.   Members of Congress who have bothered to try to read it say they cannot understand it.  Most members have not even tried to read it.  The bill contains such great examples of legal confusion as:

"Section 502 of such Act (29 USC 1132) is amended in subsection (a) (6) by striking paragraph and all that follows through subsection (c) and inserting paragraph (2), (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) or (11) of subsection (c) and (2) in subsection (c), by redesignating the second paragraph (10) as paragraph (12) and by inserting after the first paragraph (10) the following new paragraph."

Huh?  Ms. McCaughey points out that it only took the founders of this country 18 pages to form a country.  She believes we can do a healthcare bill in 20 pages.  She points out that the uninsured could be insured for the next decade with the remainder of the stimulus money which has not been spent.  That is really the major need in healthcare right now.  Other steps could be taken for pre-existing conditions, etc. later on after we see how the first step works.

I agree.  It's time to go back to the drawing board and do the right thing instead of the political thing.
