Living with RSD

As the meetings  on the hill continue, the news is bleak. I know we want change in the insurance industry. I want change! I DO NOT want the complete system blown up. All of it is not broken. This country cannot afford the major overhaulthe Democrats are trying to do; and it's not necessary.

We need tort reform, the ability to buy insurance from ANY state with no pre-existing condition clauses. Cut out the abuse and fraud and most importantly, PROSECUTE them when they are uncovered.

Stop lawyers from making a fortune with frivolous lawsuits against doctors. You see them on commercials every day hawking their wares.Where there is wrong, of course a remedy should be available.  But,come on......we have all seen these ads looking for clients just to justify a huge lawsuit. The ridiculous amounts awarded  which in turn drives up insurance premiums for everyone. 

So, don't for one minute this healthcare debate does not involve you! If you live in the US; if you buy health insurance for your family; if you need medicine. Where do you think the money comes from to pay off these huge settlements where only a few select people profit? It comes from all of us because the costs are passed onto the consumer by charging US higher rates!

And, lastly

NO ONE should be forced to buy healthcare against their will.
