Many Americans are uninsured or can only afford such minimal health care coverage that they are either going broke and having to declare bankruptcy or they die as a result of failing to get needed treatment.
We need a plan that reduces the costs by providing efficiency and investing in preventative care, to catch problems early before they are life threatening and so very costly.
The current situation is too costly for everyone — individuals, small and large businesses included.
Torte Reform is not the answer; allowing insurance companies to decide care plans instead of doctors is not the answer either.
We need Congress to pass real health care reform in 2009.
