Hope4Health Care: The reform you can live with --- 2009: The year of our greatest challenge "We must do this to save our economy," says the federal Congress and the Administration. And Americans shuffle off to work, hoping there will be a job for them tomorrow. What has this to do with health care reform? Everything. Mandatory guaranteed issue mortgages got us into this financial crisis. The 1990s Congress and Administration forced lenders to accept mortgage holders who were unqualified for mortgages. To fix it, Congress and the Administration are expanding government's role in mortgage lending, banking, and markets. Now politicians have declared we have a health care crisis. What is their answer. Mandatory guaranteed issue health insurance, Congress says, will solve our problems. Oh, really? The government that gave us the financial meltdown now wants to give us the same bad medicine for health care. The cure for U.S. health care is in front of our faces - the people with whom we interact every day. Consumers of health care. It is called consumerism. We cannot afford a politician-driven health care crisis like the one they created with financial markets.

Twelve percent says its improving quality, while only 7 percent identify reducing the uninsured rate as a priority. Five percent identified other concerns.

Everyone should have access to all the health care they need, and on the same basis. But is that fair? T he fairness doctrine promotes equality and fairness within a community. It protects various groups of people from being unfairly burdened with cost that should be paid by others.With car insurance, fairness means that older, more responsible drivers pay less premium than younger, less responsible drivers. Why? If a younger driver has five times as many accidents as an older driver, it seems fair that the younger driver should pay five times more for car insurance. With health insurance, fairness means that younger, healthier people pay less premium than older, less healthy people. Why? Because older people have five times more medical costs than younger people. This is why older people pay five times more than younger people for their health insurance. --- Who should be the ruler of the United States' health care system? There is a concerted and well-orchestrated effort on the part of Washington, D.C. government leaders to reform health care from the top down. This would make government the health care ruler in the United States. Why would anyone believe that putting government in charge of health care will solve its problems? Consumers are ultimately the rulers of the United States economy, and when they rule, prices fall while service and selection increases. I n an economy, there are three possible rulers: Consumers, businesses, or government. Rulers always have servants so it is important for everyone to recognize their rules. In your opinion, which two of these ought to serve the third?
