Alternative ABC Low-Cost Health Care Reform in America

A). There is an easy solution and compromise to the high cost health care plans in America proposed today. A no-cost plan that is begun now by simply allowing those 45 to 65 to enroll now (if the chose) in Medicare for the same $120/mo. price charged to regular Medicare customers. By allowing only this option today you will be slowing implementing nationwide coverage to all Americans who need it most today. In later years when this program has been integrated into the system then the age can again be lowered in the future.

B). Second, establish a permanent board which places strict price controls on all drugs and services at a fair price that is negotiated out of a position of strength by government officials. Next, allow all medical plans to seek care outside of their networks if they chose to do so without penalties. Since strict medical price controls are established by the permanent Medical Price Control Board this makes portability an easy and fair option for all. And this portability and going outside the insurance networks reestablishes competition back into health care in America.

C).Third allow all alternative practices, therapies, and natural supplements which have been completely excluded from insurance payment and policies to be utilized for any treatments that treats the same diseases as current medical practice or for preventive medicine. By allowing substitution of these therapies and treatments this further invites competition to traditional medicine which has had a complete medical monopoly in America for over 60 years.

The FDA and AMA which are staffed by medical doctors who are hostile to alternative medicine in America as competitors should no longer regulate or censure natural therapies which have by far the safest record of all medical therapies in the world. Medical doctors who often switch to alternative practices as safer and more effective will no longer be persecuted as traitors and censored by the FDA and local AMA societies. The FDA should only be allowed to issue general statements or warnings to the general public if they believe an alternative therapy or supplement might be considered harmful.

With this simple low cost ABC health care reform in America we can become truly competitive again and natural therapies which often work far better and safer than traditional methods can be utilized by the general public on a wide scale.
