Health Insurance Changes Are Coming Our Way

Like it or not, it seems that the U.S. Government is changing the health care for the whole country and everyone is up in arms over new proposals and changes that are coming our way soon. One of the most critical point is that while the government plan includes some positive changes, as there is no maximum lifetime benefits and no limits on who can be accepted for coverage does not make changes to any aspect of the care system health.

The cost of health care is out of control and adding new people to an already over burdened, high cost system, is really no solution at all. Just think about it. The government is not proposing to adjust prices or to get insurance companies to reduce rates, essentially the only thing that they are proposing is to add more people and include them in the current system.

The main problem with this way of thinking is that essentially while there will be more people covered by this plan they will be the sicker individuals because they will either be the ones who have been denied health insurance because they are already very ill or because they have not been able to afford health insurance up until now. Either way this is going to create further increases in the health care system and in the long run is going to wind up costing everyone more.

While this may seem like a good plan and fair, it really does little to solve the serious problems in the system itself and since the government will be paying a small portion of the increase in U.S. public opinion wind up paying Note for the rest. And while we all believe that all Americans should have the right to receive necessary health care without some serious revision in the system itself, this plan is not likely to accomplish much, but to continue to increase the cost of health care for most people.

Like it or not the plan is going to be implemented but someone needs to let the government know that the current state of the health care system and the high costs of medical care need to be addressed. Continuing with the same failing system while adding additional people to it will not have a good outcome for anyone. Change needs to start from the ground floor up if we are ever going to see the improvements they keep promising.
