Have you checked out the new Hot Topics Zone – a place where everyone’s discussing the latest news stories? One forum in particular is taking on the American health care issue. Where do you stand on the debate or how would you cut health care costs?
One member gives his ideas on how to cut the costs. “Coordinate care through family doctors. This was tried by the insurance companies, through HMOs, and was basically a failure. That being said, it was a failure mostly because it was implemented by the insurance companies.”
Another reader writes, “If it was not for my insurance company…I would not be able to afford my health care. The Government needs to insure those who cannot afford their own healthcare.”

Government insurance cannot compete with private insurance. The latter would no longer exist and that is fine with me. I believe there should be NO insurance; the plan called Medical Allotment Plan or MAP would allow each individual and the doctor to determine course of medical care and the COSTS WOULD BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED FOR THE NATION AS A WHOLE BY BUILT IN PROVISIONS AND INCENTIVES WITHIN THE PLAN ITSELF. This is based upon the feeling that no citizen should have to suffer or die if there is a way to help.
