It’s been theorized that Obama’s reforms will come in small stages, not a dramatic leap, but will almost certainly include increased governmental control over the health care industry in the realm of finance and delivery. While those involved in reform are debating the mest methods to take, they are looking to certain key states as models. Massachussetts for example has long been in the spotlight for it’s universal type health care approach. While it has flaws and problems, certain positive elements can be taken from it. Indiana on the other hand is using a savings based plan to help reduce the number of uninsured. Finally, Florida is introducing consumer choice and incentives into Medicare, which could potentially affect the structure of other government funded plans. Which model has the most merit? Or will the country be best served by using features of each model combined into a better working plan?
All the info on your website was great, I like the nice clean layout of posts.
We can only hope that our new president will follow through on his promises of healthcare reform and help us save some money. As a webmaster for a group healthcare and financial products broker in Dade and Broward counties in South Florida, I see just how much the costs of care have risen here due to the heavy population of retirees and their needs for prescription drugs and just plain general health pictures. I am approaching retirement myself and have no desire to have to spend my hard earned annuities or IRA and 401K that I have saved as part of my retirement planning on healthcare insurance! Car pooling can help save a little, but healthcare reform would save me a whole lot more.
