The government has experience

    As we discuss and sometimes argue the new health care reform act please consider the following. Our government has a complete understanding of managed health care. It is called the VA Health System, and it is considered a shining star in the health care industry. Our government has a complete understanding of the insurance business. The US Postal Service has been a self-insured entity forever. Socialized medicine has been in practice in other countries for many years. Combine all the knowledge and experiences from the above, and our great leaders could come up with an affordable, comprehensive, national insurance plan in less than six months; plain and simple. It gets complicated when our great leaders use the demands of special interest groups, lobbyist, self promoting greed, and pay backs to base their decisions on rather than the peoples’ needs. Just think about it. Then think about our children and their future. Christina Robin Westfall
