  Giving People What They Want on Health Care -- Even Republicans

  The top 10 insurance companies pay their CEOs an average of 11 million a year.  30,000 per DAY.  The average American doesn't make that in a year.  The insurance system is full of profit and inefficient.  My brother, who is self-employed, pays 600 per month for an individual policy with a high deductible.  My sister's family pays more than 1000 per month.  The government could do much better.  Also, the insurance company bureaucrats who deny or delay treatment are often on bonus systems based on the number of denials they issue. No, we need a better way.

  It is disgraceful that those opposed to real reform are framing their arguments in myths and scare tactics.  I have 15 years experience as a healthcare financial manager and wanted to refute some of these myths--Healthcare reform: 3 myths

  There has been a lot of discussion over the issue of the uninsured over the past few years and that is great, because we know that over 18,000 people die each year because they are uninsured.  But there is another group of Americans in trouble:  the insured.  I can't tell you how it infuriates me to hear anti-reformers scaring us about "a government bureaucrat will delay or deny treatments."  What do they think Insurance bureaucrats have been doing for years?  I saw  several cases in which people died because their insurance companies inappropriately denied treatment. This is the story of one of those people who, sadly, cannot tell his own story.
