Obama and Clinton are wading through Oregon. So far Obama has mentioned Hillary only once, when discussing the gas tax vacation she and McCain endorsed to try to get votes, and only while explaining why he is not for it. Good for him, he stayed focused on who he has to beat, McCain, and much older man, a friend of GW Bush, and oldtimer in DC politics who offers more of the same old same old.
Clinton is promising Oregonians everything but a blow job, I guess that's Bill's job (insert a silent giggle here).... I'm sorry, but Hill looks mean, calculating and desperate. I assume she is all of these, I have never seen her in another light. I do not like her health care policy, forcing Americans to buy insurance the government has fixed the price on, with no outline of what it will be fixed at, also no justification on how forcing the insurance companies to lower prices is fair but forcing gas companies to limit at the pump prices is not.
My ideas on solving the health care crisis are rather different. The short version of the fix: I think the best bet is to offer education grants to medical students, and we pay the medical training costs of doctors, BSNs, PAs, NPs. radiologists, lab techs, and pharmacists in exchange for 1 year of public service for every year of paid education, then open government funded clinics and roaming rural service vans, place a doc and nurse in every one of them. First of all this would open higher education to thousands of talented people who cannot afford to go, secondly it would revive the pool of care providers, third it would provide care to those who do not have access to it now. This plan could be started immediately by offering to pay off student loans on those set to graduate in exchange for public service. The people seen pay $25 per office call, they pay flat rates labs and flat rate med costs.... pay set salaries to the staff while they get valuable on the job experience and we turn out seasoned medical care staff that can be hired in at a higher rate of paid to train newly graduated doctors. This is a win/win/win/win for all concerned because it opens up education, and health care access. It also encourages people to consider a medical education, rebuilding our supply of trained providers. I am betting it would make providers outside the clinic be more competitive on their pricing. OTW no one gets forced to do anything, with a low cost option for care in place, the others would HAVE to lower pricing to compete. Plus it would not be a bottomless hole, it would generate money to help fund it's self.... throwing money at insurance companies will never do that.
No one running has come up with anything like this, but there is more than one way to fix what is wrong. This way we would fix more than health care access, we would educate trained professionals who might otherwise wind up as fast food servers because of financial restraints regardless of how brilliant they are. And while we are at it, let's offer dental services in the clinics under the same kind of program too, dental health goes hand in hand with medical health and it is sometimes even more expensive.
