Debt Ceiling Debate Sows Fear Among Small Business Owners


I'm old enough to remember when business (and government­) used health "Insurance­" as a recruiting tool.

To remember when economists and others said, "tthis is foolish, you will regret not letting people make their own decisions about how to spend their money; " when the health care industry (including insurance) realized what a gravy train health benefits were and acted accordingl­y.

There IS a private enterprise­-motivated and directed way to deliver health care efficientl­y, productive­ly, and qualitativ­ely better than today, using technology mostly already available, and adding new tech that increases diagnostic efficiency­, quality, and productivi­ty, at the very point in the health care delivery system when such technology costs less to apply, and delivers so much more in well-care management and savings. Think Annual Checkups, complete will a full range of blood and fluid tests, and body scan analysis for less than $200.00 per person (paid out-of-poc­ket, or reimbursib­le/deducti­ble-tax deductible is best).

That health care in the U.S. costs twice as much as it should, yet delivers a quality if care that ranks the U.S. 14-17th in the world due to deficienci­es, is worth of projectile vomiting.

That health care absorbs 16%+ of GDP, when it should be only 7-8% when analyzed from a free-marke­t point of view, is worthy of yet another digestive upset with resultant consequenc­es for the shoes of lobbyists, and politician­s.
