Default A health care proposal

The health care plan of the Falconist Party includes the following components.
  • Universal Health Vouchers to purchase basic health insurance
  • Associate Health Care plans
  • Funding of research and development of new cures
  • Establishment of a National Cure Center
  • Funding of health professional schools to train more health care professionals.
  • Establishment of a National Health Board to monitor health care cost and quality.
Every American citizen will recieve a universal health voucher to purchase basic health insurance for his/herself as well as his/her family. If a family wants more health care than the package or voucher allows, then those expenses will have to be paid out of pocket.

With universal health vouchers issued to every citizen to purchase health insurance, we will move from an employer-based system of health care to a customer-based system of health care. Associate Health Care plans that citizens will be able to enroll in will also further the movement to a customer based system.

By moving to a customer-based system of health care, employers will no longer have to pay for the health care of employees and they may pass those savings down in lower costs of their products. America will become competitive again with other industrialized nations because employers will not be burdened by having to provide health insurance for their employees.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound a cure. But a cure is worth a pound of medicine. This is why we will fund the research and development of cures for AIDS, Cancer, Multiple Scheloris, ALS, Parkinsons, Arthritis, diabetes, and so on. We will also establish a National Cure Center in Washington D.C. to research and develop new cures. If we begin to cure diseases and treat them, not only would we save lives, we will enable people to return to healthy productive lives as well as save billions of dollars in medicine for people to just live with these ailiaments and infirmities.

One thing neither party is addressing is the shortage of health professionals, especially nurses and therapists. Schools are turning applicants away not because they are not qualified but because they don't have the staff to teach them. We will fund health professional schools to raise instructors salaries high enough to lure experienced professionals to instructing the army of health care professionals necessary to staff our health care facilities.

We will establish a National Health Board to monitor the cost and quality of health care in America. This board will function like the Federal Reserve Board except it will deal with health care.

Finally, this health care proposal will be paid for by the National Sales Tax. Anytime one makes a purchase and pays the NST, they will be paying for this health care system. They will see their health care is not free. The NST, as part of the FairTax plan will also tax the overall size of the economy. All 305 million Americans as well as the 50 million who annually visit our shores will pay for this health care plan through the FairTax.

Because employers will no longer have to pay for health care, more businesses will be lured to America and America's economy will grow. Between our health care reforms and the growth of America's economy, it is conceiveable we can reduce health care spending from 15% of our GDP to 2-3% of our GDP.

Default Re: A health care proposal

Sorry, really, the easiest answer is to make sure that every family (legal US citizens only) has at bare minimum catastrophic coverage. Thats the only part the govt should be involved in. Don't make me go into specifics why more control would be a catastrophe in its own.
