So regarding Healthcare, I am a person who views private healthcare to be better. It works and under the proper conditions it does a dozen times better then Universal. Now understand that Universal Healthcare is effective in certain situations and with certain conditions, but private healthcare is something that I think works better. Personally, I'd be even fine with having 85 percent private and a 15 percent universal at most if we negotiate things, but I'd rather have more private. There are problems with the US Healthcare, but the solution isn't going to be socialism or universal healthcare. Here are some things I feel is needed to make it work better and you are free to add things:
-Citizens an LEGAL immigrants get healthcare. Illegals do not. You must provide ID that you are US citizen or a Legal Immigrant or even a legal visitor visa that you are eligible for US Heath care treatment.
-Stop lowering the requirement level and hire people for their skill not their looks. Only the best and only the most educated in terms of medicine deserve to be hired for jobs as doctors, nurses, and specialists. No more hiring someone because they are female, non-white, or gay. Hire them if they are good at their job and show proper qualification. We want to hire skilled people, not mediocre people. If that skilled person is a woman or non-white or gay go ahead and hire them, but if they aren't don't.
-Freedom to choose your healthcare plan. If you don't want government supported healthcare you have a right to not choose it nor to pay for it if you decide not to take it. If you do choose to have, YOU have to pay for it. Only pay for what you want, don't pay for what you don't want.
-Less red tape for private insurance. Get rid of a lot of the restrictions, allow them to lower their prices, and let them provide the various plans to suit people. Don't let the government tell them what they can and cannot provide.
-Break up the pharmaceutical industry and allow foreign drugs. The industry is too powerful and corrupt, they must be broken up. Allow drugs from outside of US to be in the market to force them to compete for cheaper prices.
-Military and Vets get full government healthcare for life. You serve, the government pays for you forever. End of story.
-Doctors are allowed to choose private healthcare without being forced to take medicare or medicate if they don't want too.
Feel free to provide other ideas.
