What is the healthcare reform alternative?

There is no disagreement from reasonable American's that the current system is too expensive and needs reform.

The alternatives are not only 1) Current system as is, or 2) Rush and spend a trillion dollar government controlled plan supported by the President and the Democratic majority in Congress

Here are common sense practical principles for a bi-partisan solution that a majority of American's are likely to support.

Focus on better health and reducing waste and fraud

Root out Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse that could save $60B-120B per year

Reform medical liability laws to discourage frivolous lawsuits, and save up to $100B per year in defensive medicine practices

Reducing fraud and frivolous lawsuits could save $1.6-$2.2 trillion dollars over the span of 10 years

Encourage and incentivize well coordinated care, wellness and preventive services that can delay the onset of chronic care which accounts for 75% of all health care costs

Allow small businesses to ban together to purchase health insurance like large corporations do

Allow health insurance to be portable across state lines to increase choice and competition

Encourage and incentivize movement to a health based style of health reform of maximizing and finding the best outcomes in America, learning how to share those with everyone, and having every hospital and doctor move to an improved and better outcome system

Allow for health savings accounts (HSA) so that families can benefit from tax savings

These kinds of changes do not require a government takeover of the healthcare system or massive new spending, or job killing taxes or rationing of care as is found in the current plan before congress
