From the Wall Street Journal: 

President Obama supports the teamwork environment that doctors of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio work in on a daily basis. Rather than having doctors work independently, thus increasing costs, the Cleveland Clinic has doctors from the same speciality collaborate together to figure out the best treatments for patients.

In a perfect medical world, patients wouldn’t need to pay for second opinions they’d be told them by the group of doctors working to help them get better, no extra fees.

 From the Wall Street Journal:

A tax on health care insurers is an interesting way to boost our economy. Of course, with these taxes placed on insurance providers, the employers who offer health care packages exceeding a certain price would have to pay most if not all of the tax put on insurance providers. If an employer is charged to pay for taxes than more than likely an employee will have a smaller pay check every month. Americans may not like that idea, but it is a price we will all have to pay.

The scare tactics are running rampant to stop reform of the health care system.  The fact that there is some part of the plan that someone does not like means that no one group is being treated with greater influence.  The end result seems to be leading in a direction that regardless of how anyone wants to dress up the issue the benefit will be three fold.

1. Health care for the majority of US citizens.
2. Affordable health care for all.
3. Cost containment.

Honesty in making choices in the best interest of the country seems to be a reasonable effort underway for health care reform by President Obama.  Make a comment with suggestions if you feel there is a component that needs improvement.  Let’s be honest here and admit that if individuals, states, companies and organizations were left to their own solutions, making hard choices would not happen with most.

Anyone who complains about what the change might bring  without providing an alternative solution is acting like a false prophet.
