Mitt Romney, expected to roll out his healthcare plan in Florida today, will call for a combination of federal tax breaks and incentives to states to help the uninsured afford coverage, while offering strategies to rein in health costs, such as capping punitive damages in malpractice cases.
Drawing on some aspects of the Massachusetts health coverage law he helped enact as governor, Romney will urge states to redirect federal money that is now spent on expensive emergency room care for people without insurance, putting it instead toward helping low-income people pay for health insurance.
The Massachusetts Universal Health Insurance plan is not working for hundreds of thousands of MA citizens. The solution is not access to the "opportunity" to purchase health insurance. The solution is a National Health Plan that covers everyone and costs individuals nothing other than in taxes.
Multiply those hundreds of thousands by a huge number of Americans currently without insurance and those whose insurance when they go to use it doesn't cover their health problems.
It's time for us to join the rest of the developed world and have government supplied health care FOR all citizens without exception AND WITHOUT A PROFIT MOTIVE AS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES. WE NEED A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN! now.....
