Like it or not it seems that the U.S. Government is changing the health care for the entire country and everyone is up in arms about the newest proposals and changes that will be coming our way before long. One of the main sticking points is that while the government plan includes some positive changes such as no lifetime maximum benefits and no limits on who can be accepted for coverage it doesn't in effect change any other aspect of the health care system.

Like it or not it seems that the U.S. Government is changing the health care for the entire country and everyone is up in arms about the newest proposals and changes that will be coming our way before long. One of the main sticking points is that while the government plan includes some positive changes such as no lifetime maximum benefits and no limits on who can be accepted for coverage it doesn't in effect change any other aspect of the health care system.

The cost of health care is out of control and to add new people to an already overburdened system of high cost, it's really no solution at all. Just think about it. The Government does not propose to adjust prices or to get insurance companies to reduce rates, essentially the only thing they offer is to add more people and include them in the current system.

The main problem with this thinking is that essentially all, there will be more people covered by this plan, they will be sick, because they will be those who have been excluded from health insurance because they are already very sick or because they have not been able to afford health insurance until now. Anyway this will create further increases in the health care system and in the long run will end up costing more than everyone.

While this may seem like a good and fair plan it is really doing little to address the serious issues in the system itself and since the government will only be paying a small portion of the increase the American public will wind up picking up the tab for the rest. And while we all believe that every American should have a right to receive health care as needed without some serious overhauls in the system itself this plan is not likely to accomplish much but to further raise the cost of health care for the majority of 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.
