The YouTube debate turned out to be a huge disappointment

Why is the Press apprehensive about pushing the limits on health care reform? Where is their passion for change? Americans are obviously distrustful about health insurance companies and the Universal Health Care puzzle. The YouTube debate turned out to be a huge disappointment. Our Presidential candidates are weak on accountability and details about health care reform. Their ambiguity is meant to confuse as opposed to enlighten. Employers and their employees have been feeling the burden of growing health insurance premiums and out of pocket expenses for over a decade. Americans cannot afford cost shifting in its most abusive form called Health Savings Account’s. What will bring down health care costs, now?
Americans are unable to afford out of pocket expenses associated with medically necessary health care. Does keeping Americans from accessing the healthcare that they need impacts demand for the right reasons? I can’t think of a more important topic other than defending the freedom of United States citizens from rogue governments and extremists. Can America afford to ignore the current problems within the health care and insurance industry? Can we fix them?
Job satisfaction and productivity are directly correlated to benefits

Most Americans are covered by group health plans offered by their employer. As health plan benefits continue to deteriorate and health care costs climb, U.S. corporations should prepare for significant drops in productivity. Not a good move in the light of global competition. Job satisfaction and productivity are directly correlated to benefits. Many Americans are trapped in a job that they don’t like or would prefer to retire from, but need the job for the health insurance benefits. While increasing health care costs outpace the rate of inflation and salaries increases, the squeeze on the entire middle class becomes even more striking. Fortune 500 CEO’s whose companies provide health insurance policies to their employees know that a 1965 Mustang does not drive like a 2007 Mustang.
The climate for change is upon us. The same old ideas and rhetoric are not working. The evidence presented to us in Michael Moore’s “Sicko” may be inconclusive, but there is little doubt that America is ready for a transition plan to a government run U.S. health care system. My estimate is that it will take 20 years to accomplish, if we start making changes during the next administration. The press cannot let the 2008 Presidential candidates off the hook. During the 1973 oil embargo, almost 35 years ago, it was said that we should not be dependent on foreign oil. Look at the situation we are in now. Isn’t anyone listening? We already know that Health Savings Accounts do not work. We are running out of band-aids.

The “problem” behavior created by low co pays is over-utilization of medical services. However, it is still cost that is the real problem. If we abandon the importance of health care reform now, when will we address it? Where are the 2008 Presidential candidates on health care reform? Far away from reality…another recipe for failure is just cooking. The media has a responsibility to the American people to expose the weaknesses of the 2008 Presidential candidates’ health care proposals. The U.S. health care system is an albatross around our necks. Based upon our current savings rate as a nation, health care continues to be an obstacle to financial stability in the lives of Americans.
The transition to a government run health care system will provide tremendous relief to the majority of Americans. I agree with Michael Moore who stated that we don’t have to inherit the negatives of current socialized medical programs. America can adopt the best practices of those systems and eliminate their weaknesses. A gridlocked Congress is a waste of American taxpayer dollars and time. Achieve and we will believe. With the ability to influence public opinion so easily, there is no excuse for the American media to overlook the urgency of health care reform during the Presidential debates.
