Can anyone say that the Health Care System In America is just fine? Can anyone say it doesn’t need improvements? If you answer yes to the first question and no to the second question then answer this question. Is it alright to have millions of Seniors uninsured, millions of average American uninsured and worst of all millions of children uninsured?

Greed is the primary force behind this recession we are in. From the beginning of this country there has been a moral compass base of general Christian values. Those values do not include greed.

When Congress signed the Declaration of Independence, July 4th 1776 they included the famous phrase

...”that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

We enact laws to protect people from murder, assault, rape etc. These laws protect some, granted they are not perfect nor is any government run plan perfect. But the Federal and State laws try to protect “life”.

Thanks to the miserable Obama health care reform, the debate has brought up more ideas the thought than anytime before. When Hillary’s health care reform made it to the fore ground it was stop dead in its tracks. Now at least we have big discussion going on.

I am NOT in favor of Obama’s health care reforms. But I do think that something needs to be done about health care. And Greed needs to be removed from health care reform. We need to care more for the uninsured than the executives and lobbyist making tons of money.

The government regulates many different aspects of our daily life. There are over sight committees and regulatory commissions. The most obvious one and the ones I like to compare Health care to is public Utilities like the one that provide power for our AC in the summer and heat in the winter. The one that provide light in our homes. These utilities are deemed critically important and a basic essential need that they are regulated by the Federal government.

Even this system isn’t perfect, many of our Seniors die from heat waves in the summer and from the cold in the winter but the regulation works for the most part. The executives of these Utilities make excellent wages, there is no shortage of people who want to work for these Utilities. These Utilities are engaged in R&D for more efficient methods.

Why can’t we simplify the health care problems by regulating the Health Insurance companies and the Pharmaceutical companies so that all Americans are insured and the proper drugs are made available to those who need them. Isn’t health care as important to “Life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness as making laws to try and protect us from those who would seek to hurt us?

The Republicans need to stop pandering to the big money lobbyists and the Democrats need to stop trying to socialize everything.

The solution is simple and the government has many regulatory and oversight laws in place. It seems that regulating the health care industry would reasonably easy.
