Last post. We need to get away from the notion that because you have health insurance, that all your medical care is covered. No, medical insurance is like car insurance - you buy how much coverage you want, based on how much you can afford. Yes, wealthier people can afford better care. And unhealthy people, like lousy drivers, are going to pay more.
Tort reform. Yes, mistakes and incompetence exist, but there are a large amount of nuisance suits.
Free medical care for illegal aliens/prisoners. Drastically reduced. I read about a recent case where a prisoner was granted a sex change operation!
I'm not an expert. I really recommend Sally Pipes book. It's a good start.
