Health Care

We need to fix the health care system in this country. Health coverage costs entirely too much money - too much to the employers who provide the insurance coverage, and too much to the consumers who need to use it. And paperwork takes up way too much time. msnbc.com had a story that many physicians are either planning on leaving their practice or are cutting back their time spend seeing patients because of the amount of paperwork involved when dealing with the health insurance agencies.

Something here needs to be fixed. Maybe the health insurance agencies should be audited for the amount of data they feel they need to collect per the cost of that data. They like collecting data, but try to get money from them to cover the costs of tests or office visits that they are responsible for paying. It's like pulling teeth.

Let's wipe out what's there, pay everyone off, and start from scratch building it the right way.
