Do What Works

We know what can work to cut down health care costs and we know what might (probably will) happen if comprehensive health care reform is passed.

What will happen if a large health care reform bill is passed;

1. It will cost more than they say. The talk on Friday was that the House bill will (Hooray) cost less than $900,000,000 over ten years. Take that with a grain of salt and your cancer will be curred!
2. We will grow the government payroll.
3. We will grow the number of public employees union members.
4. We have no idea if what is proposed will work.
5. We know that waste, fraud and abuse will gros.
6. We know it will grow the deficit
7. We know we will have to borrow more and more money!
8. We know care will be rationed.
9. We know with care rationed, more lawsuits
10. and costs will go up.

What can work?

1. If indeed we can cut waste fraud and abuse in Medicare, let's do it and see if it can be done.
2. We know competition cuts prices. Let insurance companies sell across state lines.
3. Limit lawsuits

Let's do what we know works before we leap off the ledge into the unknown
