There's a potential simple solution to health care that would at least get us started towards a workable complete solution.
What if we made Cobra a part of Unemployment Benefits and have the companies who essentially terminate people and are paying the Unemployment benefit also responsible for paying for Cobra?
Sure this would only be a temporary solutions for a percentage of those with no coverage, but it would be a nice stop gap, which would first keep people covered and 2nd not cost the taxpayers any money.
No this would not be a complete overhaul, but it would be a step in which regardless of where anyone is politically on the issue, bottom line the individual citizens are being taken care of.
Unless at the end of the day, this is not so much about healthcare, but more about Government control and other issues (Power, Money, etc...)
I would be all for real solutions for America. Maybe that could be a campaign slogan for 2010 and 2012?
