Subject: RE: BS: So who's signed up for Obamacare?
Good Morning.
Being as there seems to be no objection to further suggestions and to avoid a few obstinate fellows on here who insist on personalised assaults and diversions toward the direction of themselves, I'll open with this possibility.

Instead of an intrusive blanket of needless and inefficient coverages for non-applicable services to individuals who don't need those services, such as maternity care for the elderly, or those who oppose certain procedures based on religious beliefs, why not a basic coverage that covers a broad base of common health concerns and leave an option open for the individuals to supplement their health care with private companies based on the individual needs of the individual customer? This would open a door to include such services as dental, physical therapies and preventative medicines. It would also not impact the economy, employers and businesses as hard as forcing them into a system they do not care for or want, and then 'punish' them with questionable fines and punitive consequences?
This would inevitably lower the cost of the infrastructure to administer the health care and those savings be passed to the actual provision of services? I believe this would create more incentive for physicians not to leave their practice.

how about it? Any suggested improvements to that would be welcome.

Comments?
Ideas?
